Wes Anderson's films are underappreciated because many critics worry that criticism isn't a serious-enough activity and therefore reject his comedic (albeit complex, substantial, even philosophical) approach to his films' truly serious matters. Dourness is taken for importance.
Men brought guns inside the Michigan statehouse to protest pandemic lockdowns (but really to frighten and intimidate lawmakers) and no one shot them. They weren’t even arrested.
Correct. It took like 9 masked cowards to take down one soylennial protester and when they saw he was packing they pissed their pants and killed him. Just like Ross shit himself and killed a mom in a Honda pilot.
This is alpha male behavior? They should be in diapers.
Matt Walsh and these other right-wing empty men who think they're avatars of über-masculinity particularly hate Alex Pretti because he exemplified the virtues they love to extol but are too cowardly to actually embody.
They cosplay as trad men by dressing up in campy plaid shirts and sitting in podcast studios with a log cabin aesthetic.
Alex Pretti went to the street to fight for causes he believed in, protected and helped others in both how he protested (he was helping two women when ICE grabbed him) and in his work as an ICU nurse. He lived the values they pretend defines them, all while they lack the courage to ever do or risk anything. He's a reminder to them of what they're not: a mirror showing their own fragility.
That's why they feel vicariously strong watching ICE agents shoot him in the back and killed him.
The events in Minneapolis are incredibly disturbing. The credibility of ICE and DHS are at stake. There must be a full joint federal and state investigation. We can trust the American people with the truth.
Every Democratic member of Congress should be on a plane to Minneapolis right now to join the people protesting in the streets. Federal elected officials should physically place themselves between the public and these dangerous thugs sent to terrorize this American city.
@marytylerpoor I’m so tired of this dime-store preacher with his aw-shucks act. Especially as he’s throwing players under the bus for his failures.
Get the hell outta my school.
I have loved Diane Keaton most of my life.
I can’t tell you how many times we watched Father of the Bride when I was a kid.
Annie Hall, Reds, and Something’s Got to Give are other performances
I love, but she’s always Nina Banks to me.
