People should probably learn the difference between “plot holes” and “things I didn’t like” or “things the franchise plans to explain in the future” or “things film makers didn’t think they needed to explicitly explain because they thought you had critical thinking skills”

Hello internet user whose entire concept of feminism comes from tiktok. In front of you are three ancient myths about women. You have five minutes to figure out which one of them was made up in the 1970s. If you choose wrong, you will be ripped to pieces by Maenads.

“This representation was groundbreaking for the time and a lot of people liked it” and “This may have aged poorly and many modern audiences from the group don’t feel represented by it and are bothered by aspects of it” are not mutually exclusive

something i have always found really weird is when english texts italicize words from other languages.

i remember reading a book as a kid and the author continually italicizing the word tamales

questions at film festival director Q&As are like

"when the main character says she likes bread, does this mean that she likes bread?"

"is this movie based on true events that happened to you irl?"

"is the villain based on a real person? could you verbally confirm the identity of the real person you based the villain on, publicly and on record?"

"this movie reminds me of some other movie. does it also remind You of that movie?"

"this film was shot with a camera. do you think im intelligent for noticing this?"

"did you Suffer while working on this movie? how much did you Suffer?"

"sequel???????????????"

"some of the characters are pretty nuanced & gray. should i Like them, or should i Dislike them?"

and then if it's a "foreign film" you get all of those and also:

"what's it like in your exotic foreign homeland?"

"frightening & disturbing things happen in this movie, does that stuff happen every minute of every day in your exotic foreign homeland?"

"did your Oppressive Culture make it more difficult to make a movie?"

I'm so charmed by this Victorian etiquette book's stance on crossdressing (The Illustrated Book of Manners: A Manual of Good Behavior and Polite Accomplishments, 1866) and distaste for laws that regulate what people wear. If the amount of happiness, immediate or ultimate, is increased by any costume, it is right to wear it!!!

I’m a big fan of people finding a spiritual or religious practice that works for them but if you’re required to pay money to a particular person or buy a certain thing regularly from a certain place I don’t think that’s a spiritual practice. You may have been scammed.
