You're making a strawman argument. I wholeheartedly welcome disagreement. It sure would be a boring society and culture if everybody had the same opinions on everything. And it's very possible to disagree on things without discussions turning into cheap mudslinging sessions... or at least it used to be, back when people had decent character and discussed topics in good faith.
Go away, delusional troll.
No, it's because I simply expect online discussions to be cordial and civil, and not end up turning into endless exchanges of cheap shots, name-calling, trolling and flame-baiting like what constantly happens on this site. People are increasingly crass and rude, which has become a sickness in our society with adults acting like self-absorbed, selfish, narcissistic inexperienced spoiled children. Why is basic civility so much to ask these days?
It's just a fun, escapist adventure story. Why do people expect every movie to have some "message" or "values" these days?
The IMDB forums had to go away because they allowed bigoted invective and trashy hateful comments to run rampant. The moderators weren't doing their jobs and actually moderating the message boards. In the end the only way to deal with it was to just wipe it all away. Moviechat is well on its way to the same fate, as the moderators don't do anything when conversations blatantly violate the terms and standards that we all agreed to abide by when we signed up for this site.
Or shoehorning in somebody like Matt Damon as the savior of ancient China.
...Oh, wait.
I hereby nominate the following for this popularity contest:
1. <b>MIchiganJFrogg</b> (apparently gone, but never forgotten)
2. That guy who somehow keeps posting as <b>[deleted]</b> due to some kind of system glitch.
So there's a handful of people of colour in a movie that showcases a white heroine and a majority white cast. I think somebody would have to be pretty insecure to be "demoralised" by that.
On the other hand, for those of us who have been marginalized for years, it's nice to see a bit more background representation in the popular media to acknowledge that we exist as human beings, even if it may not be 100% historically accurate to the setting.
I don't know if her political affiliation changed. But her heritage is actually Puerto Rican and Irish.
Considering that you're not supposed to be out in public in the nude, it makes sense that it would be considered inappropriate in this particular professional situation. And showing somebody sexually explicit photos without their consent is absolutely not okay.
Thankfully, they are set to lose copyright in the next few years on those ten or so stories that they still have copyright on.
He would just tell the school office that his nephew moved back home or something.
I think people in general weren't as suspicious back then.
This site doesn't seem to be that actively moderated anymore. Plenty of posts get reported for bigotry, trolling and flaming, but nothing is done about them like when the site first started.
Maybe she just wanted to have a place of her own and be the owner/employer. She could have a little more fame and fortune that way.
I think this was meant to start a TV series or something, but it just didn't take.
Don't forget the galactic emperor in Starcrash. Truly an unforgettable role.
I believe it was actually Assassin's Creed, not Prince of Persia.
No, the King of Siam should be played by a Thai actor.
High staff turnover, and the workers not caring enough to pay attention.
If each season goes forward a year, then they could go about seventeen more seasons. But they probably won't.
