My Top 50 Favorite Movies

Dark City (1998)

Before Requiem For A Dream, Jennifer Connelly plays the partner to another male lead in a similar role she reprised a few years later. This time the lead is John Murdoch (Rufus Sewell) a man who wakes up one day in a literal dark city and struggles to remember the past while being wanted for murder. He is then the target of the "mr. people" (The Strangers) these mysterious figures who run Dark City after they have discovered that he shares the same powers as them. They are out to capture John, as he looks to escape Dark City while trying to put back together his past along with help from Dr. Schreber (Kiefer Sutherland). This is an all in one action packed, sci-fi, neo noir, mystery, thriller blended into one massive movie that works out very well. This is arguably one of the most advanced movies I've seen and its recommended you watch with subtitles on and the Director's Cut version so you don't miss anything important. The special effects are top notch, the central theme being about life and consciousness and it concludes with a "too good to be true" ending that only further propels this cult classic high up on my list. Dark City gets better like aged wine, this film is truly mesmerizing.

“Excuse me.”  

Daniel and Spencer both look toward the door.

John is doing his very best to look stern.  It’s not quite working.  Possibly it's the lack of clothing.  

“I’m wondering when you’re both going to take off your clothes and join the party?” John asks impatiently.  

“There’s cheese straws,” Daniel explains, gesturing toward the buffet with a half eaten pastry.

“They have Men and Magic.” Spencer holds up the book and waves his other toward the terrarium.  “And a Crested Gecko.”

“We were invited to an orgy and you two are more interested in the onion dip,” John sighs.

“We’ll be along in just a minute,” Daniel promises.  “They have a copy of Swords And Spells I’d like to take a peek at.”

“And dates stuffed with goat cheese,” Spencer adds.

“I’m going to find Morgan and console myself,” John sighs.

“Have fun, darling,” Daniel is studying the terrarium, “What kind of snails are those?”

“Ooh, where?” Spencer gives John an absent wave as he bends over the tank to get a better look.

As someone who has organized a gangbang, it is SO HARD to Wrangle People towards the sexy parts and away from the crafted table of snacks which just so happens to be in front of your book shelf and OMG you have THIS gaming System??

I only included options that I thought had some chance of winning, regardless of the frequency of their appearance on the show. Obviously there are plenty of good not-included candidates though, so if you have other opinions, that's what the other option/reblogs are for :)

One of the most well-established patterns in measuring public opinion is that every generation tends to move as one in terms of its politics and general ideology. Its members share the same formative experiences, reach life’s big milestones at the same time and intermingle in the same spaces. So how should we make sense of reports that Gen Z is hyper-progressive on certain issues, but surprisingly conservative on others?

The answer, in the words of Alice Evans, a visiting fellow at Stanford University and one of the leading researchers on the topic, is that today’s under-thirties are undergoing a great gender divergence, with young women in the former camp and young men the latter. Gen Z is two generations, not one.

In countries on every continent, an ideological gap has opened up between young men and women. Tens of millions of people who occupy the same cities, workplaces, classrooms and even homes no longer see eye-to-eye.

In the US, Gallup data shows that after decades where the sexes were each spread roughly equally across liberal and conservative world views, women aged 18 to 30 are now 30 percentage points more liberal than their male contemporaries. That gap took just six years to open up.

Germany also now shows a 30-point gap between increasingly conservative young men and progressive female contemporaries, and in the UK the gap is 25 points. In Poland last year, almost half of men aged 18-21 backed the hard-right Confederation party, compared to just a sixth of young women of the same age.

Outside the west, there are even more stark divisions. In South Korea there is now a yawning chasm between young men and women, and it’s a similar situation in China. In Africa, Tunisia shows the same pattern. Notably, in every country this dramatic split is either exclusive to the younger generation or far more pronounced there than among men and women in their thirties and upwards.

The #MeToo movement was the key trigger, giving rise to fiercely feminist values among young women who felt empowered to speak out against long-running injustices. That spark found especially dry tinder in South Korea, where gender inequality remains stark, and outright misogyny is common.

In the country’s 2022 presidential election, while older men and women voted in lockstep, young men swung heavily behind the right-wing People Power party, and young women backed the liberal Democratic party in almost equal and opposite numbers.

Korea’s is an extreme situation, but it serves as a warning to other countries of what can happen when young men and women part ways. Its society is riven in two. Its marriage rate has plummeted, and birth rate has fallen precipitously, dropping to 0.78 births per woman in 2022, the lowest of any country in the world.

Seven years on from the initial #MeToo explosion, the gender divergence in attitudes has become self-sustaining. Survey data show that in many countries the ideological differences now extend beyond this issue. The clear progressive-vs-conservative divide on sexual harassment appears to have caused — or at least is part of — a broader realignment of young men and women into conservative and liberal camps respectively on other issues.

In the US, UK and Germany, young women now take far more liberal positions on immigration and racial justice than young men, while older age groups remain evenly matched. The trend in most countries has been one of women shifting left while men stand still, but there are signs that young men are actively moving to the right in Germany, where today’s under-30s are more opposed to immigration than their elders, and have shifted towards the far-right AfD in recent years.

It would be easy to say this is all a phase that will pass, but the ideology gaps are only growing, and data shows that people’s formative political experiences are hard to shake off. All of this is exacerbated by the fact that the proliferation of smartphones and social media mean that young men and women now increasingly inhabit separate spaces and experience separate cultures.

Too often young people’s views are overlooked owing to their low rates of political participation, but this shift could leave ripples for generations to come, impacting far more than vote counts.

==

On average, men are more moderate and centrist in their views while, on average, women are more extremist in their views. Anyone suggesting that men as a whole, or on average, have shifted is gaslighting you, as the evidence does not support this assertion.

"It was always the women, and above all the young ones, who were the most bigoted adherents of the Party, the swallowers of slogans, the amateur spies and nosers-out of unorthodoxy." -- George Orwell, "Nineteen Eighty-Four"
