@MichaelAlbertMD Appeal to authority. If you don't understand how logical fallacies work, you can't expect anyone to take you seriously.

[A Diligent Maniac @diligentmaniac]

@ShangguanJiewen Propaganda calling out other propaganda is still propaganda.

@historyinmemes That's actually Christles Claybale. He passed away several years ago. #rip

[A Diligent Maniac @diligentmaniac]

When personal bigotry and historical illiteracy come together to comment on a movie about vampires. What an absolute moron.

[Kate @ConserveIrish]

The racist, anti-Irish rhetoric in Sinners is absolutely disgusting.

800 years of oppression and slavery, and we are portrayed like this?!

At least we were not sold to slavery by OUR OWN PEOPLE, unlike Africans.

Anyone associated with this movie should be ashamed.

@johncusack Name a reliable source of information.

[A Diligent Maniac @diligentmaniac]

@JustineBateman Wishful thinking. I wish it wasn't, but it is.

[A Diligent Maniac @diligentmaniac]

Incorrect.

[RazörFist @RazorFist]

The revisionism is that the Phantom Menace was hated when it came out.

It wasn't. The hype was real. I was there.
The Duel of the Fates, the Podrace sequence and on and on.

It was AFTER���around the time of Attack of the Clones—when the internet rewrote history to dump on it.

[A Diligent Maniac @diligentmaniac]

Probably around the same time it became trendy for developers to release unfinished, out of touch slop that no one wants to play.

Been seeing it more and more in recent years.

[Cliff "CliffyB" Bleszinski @therealcliffyb]

When did it become trendy to hate on a new game?

Been seeing it more and more in recent years.

It's exhausting.

[A Diligent Maniac @diligentmaniac]

Bad casting. Terrible script. Awful CGI. Plot holes aplenty. But sure, the critics are to blame. What a knobhead.

Henry Cavill movie ‘ARGYLLE’ surprised director Matthew Vaughn with its negative reaction.

“We didn’t make Citizen Kane, but f*cking hell, then the reviews came out and I’m like, ‘Wait, what have I done to offend these people?’ They were vitriolic.”

Actually, I am a film student, and Stanley Kubrick's use of symmetry is way more advanced than it looks. He did not just place a camera in the middle of a corridor

You can see immediately that with his centered shots, the vanishing point in the middle of the frame draws the eye in. That center point becomes where the story's power, threat, or mystery is focused. Even before anything happens in the scene, the composition is already guiding your attention

What makes this more complex than it seems is how everything in the frame is planned. Set design, props, lighting, costumes, and camera placement all work together to make the symmetry feel natural and intentional. The wallpaper in The Shining, the corridors in 2001: A Space Odyssey, and the army formations in Full Metal Jacket aren't just backgrounds-they're part of the shot's geometry. Kubrick didn't just point the camera down the center of a hallway he built the whole frame around that line

It's not all conceptual, though. The technical choice of lens, height of camera, and position in the room makes a great difference to the strength of perspective. Wide lenses distort it, elongating depth, and longer lenses compress it. But Kubrick doesn't just stay perfect; he often breaks the symmetry with movement. A character might step off-center, or something enters the frame unexpectedly. Because the audience has been trained to expect balance, breaking it feels dramatic and almost unsettling. It creates a very sanitized image that, upon breaking, feels meaningful

All of this goes largely unnoticed if you are not super into movies and can notice subtle diffrences in lightning or a lens swap

[MauLer @MauLer93]

Yeah man, Kubrick basically just dropped the camera in a hallway lmao. Cinematography BTFO'd...

As long as we ignore symmetry, colour, depth, mood, negative space, contrast, lighting, tone, focus, leading lines, composition, framing, balance, background/foreground and all that silly stuff.

[A Diligent Maniac @diligentmaniac]

Then neither do movies. Or tv shows. Or books. Pffft! Gtfoh with your Puritan bs. What an absolute smooth brain take.

Video games don't need sex scenes.

[A Diligent Maniac @diligentmaniac]

It's her personality.

[bea @tobeaornotobea]

are people hating on her just bc she's a woman or is there an actual reason that i'm not aware

[A Diligent Maniac @diligentmaniac]

@Nerdrotics @RMBee Sure looks like he was pointing out similar ASPECTS of the two films and not making a 1:1 comparison.

[A Diligent Maniac @diligentmaniac]

Up is down and down is up in the land of paid promotions.

Correct response.

@P_S_Inceptions For some reason I always lumped them in with mags like GQ. But Bigfoot and celeb gossip sounds about right.
