The Black, Latino, and Arab communities are experiencing actual hate crimes. Meanwhile the community committing the hate crimes are getting the taxpayer money lmfao
Just got out of Primetime and I have to say… this was even worse than I expected lmao
It wasn’t just a Chris Hanson character assassination, but a paranoid Reddit-tier indictment of basically anyone who expresses condemnation of pedophilia in general.
The pedophiles are largely portrayed sympathetically in comparison to Hanson’s savage sociopathy. The anti-pedophile characters are almost all shown as either bumbling idiots or secret predators themselves.
At one very batshit point, Hanson’s murky conscience is challenged by a rabbi he catches in a sting who the audience is almost led to forget was there to rape who he thought was a little boy (promised to him 3000 years ago ofc).
The climax of the film is a pedophile District Attorney killing himself after being aggressively pursued by Hanson and police.
In those final moments, the pedophile is portrayed as an uncertain, misunderstood, almost innocent guy who, again, you’re nearly instructed to forget had been exchanging lewd messages with a child. The decoy he’d been speaking to is shown crying as he solemnly sings the pedophile Seasons of Love from the gay musical Rent over the phone in the lead up to the sting and suicide.
While it was advertised as a critique of sensationalizing predator hunting, throughout the film Hanson’s desire to “use” pedophiles for his own “gain” was very clearly framed as the biggest sin.
Even as I was leaving the theater, I overheard someone ask “was Chris Hanson really that evil?”
The only saving grace of the movie was Robert Pattinson’s acting, which was 10/10 despite the overall narrative being shit.
Your landlord wants more money. The grocery store wants more money. The utility company wants more money. Your insurance wants more money. Your subscription services want more money. But when workers ask for higher pay, suddenly everyone acts like that’s unreasonable. People aren’t asking for more just because they want more. The cost of living keeps going up.
I fucking love people who become more themselves with age. Stranger taste. Clearer boundaries. Louder laugh. Less interest in impressing random people. Watching somebody slowly stop auditioning for the world is fucking beautiful.
Thousands of years from now when whatever species of creature inhabits this planet, their archeologists will excavate Douglass Park and find hundreds of shoes and wonder what epic battle or event happened on this sacred ground.
I love how Outlook deletes meeting emails the moment I hit accept. It’s a genius idea, because obviously I��ll never need the agenda, Zoom link, meeting details, or literally anything else from that email again. Truly incredible software.
for 2½ years I've been chasing the high of watching Dune Part Two in the theatre for the first time without success, I can't wait for Part Three to perfectly tingle all my senses, scratch my brain, rearrange my organs,
Every once in a while I remember this business in Chicago that hung up a Trump 2024 sign facing the highway that reading "I MISS GAS @ $1.79/GAL & MEAN TWEETS."
The sign is still there because the company went out of business.
