being overpowered and subject to nonconsenual penetration and forced impregnation, having to serve as an incubator for a violent creature that took advantage of you, this movie was successful bc it effectively made men empathize with horrors that are typically reserved for women
Oscar Isaac accepts the Vanguard Tribute Award at the Gotham Awards alongside Jacob Elordi and Guillermo del Toro:
“I am proud to be standing here tonight — a Guatemalan, an Australian, and a Mexican. Immigrants, baby, we get the job done.”
James Cameron explained why he made the villain T‑1000 a cop in Terminator 2.
“Cops think of all non-cops as less than they are, stupid, weak and evil. They dehumanize people they are sworn to protect and desensitize themselves in order to do that job”
men are the real gold diggers. they expect you to give them your body, play maid, cook their meals, raise their kids, clean their mess, pamper their fragile egos, and take the brunt of emotional labor, all while holding down a job and splitting the bills !!
“why do the gods torment me with such reckless, destructive blasphemous sons?” what an opening line for a character. what a scene that sets up the entire conflict, characters and themes of the film in under three minutes. yeah, they don’t make them like this anymore
The weird thing about reading so much as a child and gaining a huge vocabulary from that is I can't define a lot of the words I use, I just...know that they would fit correctly in a specific sentence? Does anyone else experience that?
This guy in Italy gives one of the best explanations of the importance of family I've seen.
His conception of family (not just the nuclear family, but extended family as well) is something we've lost here in the US.
It's to the point where we consider it a privilege to have married parents. Or to have a close-knit extended family network nearby. They've become the exception when they used to be the rule.
And while those things are blessings, they shouldn't be privileges. They should just be normal. And they shouldn't be envied. They should be revered.
@LongTimeHistory#USA on the wrong way!
"It wasn't Hitler or Himmler who kidnapped me, beat me, and shot my family.
It was the shoemaker, the milkman, and the neighbor who were given uniforms and then believed they were the master race."

This is a federal agent. He’s paid out of our taxpayer dollars. He should be put on leave without pay immediately, fired when he can be, and prosecuted for the excessive use of force. For heaven’s sake. What have we become?
Controversial take, I think men’s obsession with women being hairless sits uncomfortably close to pedophilia. The cultural obsession men have with a completely hairless female body deserves scrutiny.
Stephen Colbert: “Tonight we’re all Jimmy Kimmel…. With an autocrat, you can’t give an inch. If ABC thinks that this is going to satisfy the regime, they are woefully naive, and clearly they've never read The Children's Book If You Give a Mouse A Kimmel.”
