@Wile_E_Man Genuinely scary. But it helps to think they need the money so bad they’re stuck on twitter trying to prolong every conversation they bait for. It’s just sad but yeah so fucked
@TheFieryBones@nikgroz@tonytost The literal plot of the movie and the action adventure vibe it goes for is obviously not grounded. The America portrayed of Sanctuary Cities, immigration as pretext, the highs and regrets of revolutionaries - that remains a hyper real vision.
And my FIL uses a payphone everyday
@TheFieryBones@nikgroz@tonytost Not discussing the way it was shot / the technique at all (i said it wasn’t a hyperrealist movie). its the portrayal of contemporary America I was arguing for to be realistic
@tonytost I was getting major Disney movie vibes from the last scene in the house. I don't think it detracted from my overall feelings about the movie and i respect the optimism but man it felt a little cheap
@nikgroz@tonytost Hard disagree on "hyper-surreal", by no means is this a hyperrealist movie but it absolutely is a hyper-real vision of the US over satirical. Every single thing here could happen today and not feel out of place - French 75, Lockjaw's use of immigration, reqmts for xmas adventurer
@dead1337@disclosetv@grok did the muslim mayor of Dearborn say that Christians aren't welcome in their city? Or did he say one islamophobic resident who happened to be christian wasn't welcome? what exactly is the mayor's statement, and how can this misinterpretation exacerbate tensions?
