The man must have been born middle-aged.
Okay, Snowflake, getting sensitive about which words I use. I only meant that outcasts and marginalized individuals want to see people like themselves in artwork. It's not strictly about group awareness. By your first sentence, you've also just spoken for a 'group.'
I am certain that there are radical liberal agendas in some mainstream films (e.g. New MCU and Doctor Who), but mainstream entertainment -especially TV series- also need to accept the fact that their general audience is not only white, beige, vanilla, Christian heterosexuals. All sorts are watching. Sentimental, conservative propaganda exists too.
I haven't seen Knives Out, but there is no problem with the main character's heritage. She is a citizen and her mother just found a legal loophole in the system. Her motives for revenge may be dubious, I don't know. Where is this anger when billion-dollar companies find legal loopholes to avoid taxes, or even use outsourced child labor instead of hiring local workers?
I can't speak for every person, but I'm not Antifa or a Marxist. I just want widely-available media that shows something different. Traditional stories and protagonists have been done.
I can imagine. I'm sorry you had to feel that way. When my first boyfriend left me, so did our mutual friends. That made it worse.
That's a simplification of what's happened in entertainment culture. People want group representation in artwork and it's not just conventional writing that's the trouble, it's the fact the movie producers won't greenlight enough screenplays about nonconformist or non-white characters. When there are characters in mainstream movies or tv shows, even when it fits into the overall storyline, anti-progressives complain about the writers being woke. It's as if they can't imagine that anyone else would want stories that speak to their own experience.
I hate that too. People are not wary enough of making left turns. There was a restaurant on the corner from my apt building and I'd often have to wait in a long line for drivers to cross oncoming traffic when they could have gone straight and right safely.

The sound quality is not consistent, but they were great in this performance.

I'm sorry for her daughters. Her husband is probably secretly relieved. I've seen that ABC 2020 interview, and he stayed married to her for the kids' sake. She was a manipulative, sex-crazed creepazoid who wrecked a 12 year-old boy's life.

I've heard that the higher crime rates are due to the year-round hot weather. Sunny weather creates hospitable conditions for burglars and gang activity. And the high temperatures can cause people to get stressed and angry easily.
You didn't violate the rules. Disease prevention is a non-partisan social issue that is not inherently political. Caring about the safety other human beings, including vulnerable strangers, is just a good idea. Better to follow the original golden rule.
Dickinson's Boysenberry Preserves and Peter Pan PB are the best. I like mine on toasted, whole-grain bread.
My grandmother used to make PB sandwiches as a side to chili. Makes a great sweet and spicy combo.
Sure, I just bought her Debut CD a couple months ago. Hit is one of my favorite love songs.
Yes. Wearing masks, staying 6+ feet apart in public, and avoiding gatherings will help contain the spread. This will be the new normal until there are proven and accessible treatments. We also need to get affordable home test kits. We can't afford to overburden the hospitals right now. Beds are being rationed. There is already a severe nursing shortage. People with major injuries or non-covid illness who need treatment have to many risks to consider. High-risk individuals deserve to have a chance to survive, especially when many healthcare workers are in this category (including my dad).
If everyone follows the CDC guidelines, there will be no reason to close buildings again. If a high percentage of the workforce dies, the economy will collapse totally. We can recover lost money, we can't recover the dead.
I have trouble doing this. I assumed Blind Melon's No Rain was by a 1960s band until I saw the video. Good Thing by Fine Young Cannibals had me fooled into thinking it was an original 50s Motown hit. I thought Queen's Crazy Little Thing Called Love must be an Elvis cover. There's also a darkwave band called Boy Harsher that sounds like they started in 1987; they formed in 2013.
George Michael's Father Figure comes to mind. I assume it's suppose to be about a Dom/sub romantic fantasy, but the metaphor is just disturbing. The video doesn't help matters.
STAR WARS - I know... it's sacrilege. I've just moved away from outer space stories.
The Labyrinth - This still has a huge adult fanbase(which is fine), but the entire thing creeps me out now.
The Crow - Dystopian cities don't have the same impact anymore.
Withnail & I - Great film with fantastic one-liners, but I can't afford to indulge in that bleak and defeatist worldview even for 2 hours.
I'd say Outbreak with Twister in close second place. It was because of seeing Dante's Peak as a kid that I discovered there could actually be horrible movies. I just thought: "How and why did they finish filming this?!" So many corny moments and obvious bad decisions.
I loved Stargate. Apparently the director's cut improves on the story.
And have you lived through such an event? I've been there. This isn't general paranoia; it's called preparation.
I agree. I'm watching the series again and it is really frustrating to hear other characters equate Snow's actions to evil, cold-blooded murder. Some monsters have to be brought down for good.
