I am uninteresting.

@Smiling_venom @ConspiracyBull1 North Vietnam not only gave them weapons and training, but they even fought side by side against the Cambodian government! They were full fledged allies! Openly! Literally Vietnam's government policy!

@zemstafr @ConspiracyBull1 At no point has Vietnam acted with anything other than selfish cruelty toward Cambodia and that poor country would be infinitely better off have Vietnam just fucked off and stayed fucked off. /fin

@zemstafr @ConspiracyBull1 until they themselves were invaded, and then brutally intervened again to install another tyrannical regime that rules Cambodia to this very day. /3

@zemstafr @ConspiracyBull1 "Pol Pot was anti-Vietnamese from the beginning". Yes, and that makes it extra stupid that they armed, trained, and fought side by side with the Khmer Rouge. Support didn't end until '77 when the KR started conducting cross border raids.

@DastDn Also, selfishness is incredibly common in the animal world. Survival of the fittest tends to mean "fuck you, I'm looking out for me". It's altruism, particularly seemingly unmotivated altruism, that is the surprising exception.

@CathyYoung63 Actually a quick looks show it coming a least a year earlier from the movie Le Pacte des loups. I wonder how far this goes back.

[John Yaeger @w00062016]

@CathyYoung63 Not only is it fake, but I also think they stole it from an old video game. No One Lives Forever 2 gave its hench persons comical dialogue to eavesdrop on and one of the ninja girls gives her friend pretty much this same advice. It's at 5:12 in the clip. https://t.co/67vQAzVH2g

@bdquinn And it will go on to win the franchise wars.

@ArthurKolchak According to the Never Sleep Again documentary Freddy's pedophilia had to be toned down to subtext as the ongoing McMartin preschool trial made the issue too sensitive.

@M3S0soic I show this film to people and this scene always gets them. People are surprised that there is a legitimately good jumpscare in a 50s movie.

@PaulTassi The problem is that Rockford is a pantload of a character. She is smug, boring, irritating and generally a total asshole and her goals are stupid and uninteresting. When spending time with the protagonist feels like a punishment, the only winning move is not to play the game.

[John Yaeger @w00062016]

@ChristinaTasty Watching this scene and all I can think is: YOU ARE DRIVING KEEP YOUR FUCKING EYES OPEN!

[John Yaeger @w00062016]

@HokutoDaily You are already dead.

Now you are already dead-er

@KaiKai2492 Here is the whole transcript, which I've never made it all the way through, because while they never get quite that dumb again, they approach film criticism in the most boringly didactic way possible.

@KaiKai2492 This is an actual transcript for NPR's code switch. The host feels "microaggressed" by Freddy Krueger. Lady, there's nothing "micro" about this, he means everything he says in the worst way possible because he's Freddy fucking Krueger! WHY ARE YOU SURPRISED?!

[John Yaeger @w00062016]

@PinchofPeppers I feel this. Meet the Fockers is the movie that nearly broke me. Just two hours of "Oh god Ben Stiller don't do that it will be so embarrassing" and then he does that and it is embarrassing.

[John Yaeger @w00062016]

@kinpatsukenshi Getting some Kow Yokoyama SF3D/Maschinen Krieger vibes from that design.
