    Censorship and Art

    How do you know if cavemen painting found it pleasing? Maybe they were drawing for records, maybe they were drawing to teach? Also, the entire post wasn't about whether the art was enjoyed--but rather whether someone could even recognize it as an expression of something. If it had enough natural...

    Censorship and Art

    Again, you're confusing the subjectivity of details (A small range), with larger standards that can be agreed upon. Everyone can walk up to this and see something interesting, they can see it represents something, even if they don't get the meaning or its not mind blowing for them. This...

    Censorship and Art

    I'm not sure what you're trying to say here. But whether the postmodernist artists agreed or did not is irrelevant. Part of having objectivity is your views alone do not matter, you ALONE can not dictate reality. If the objective standards we agreed on to measure "postermodernism" are found to...

    Censorship and Art

    It's ironic that with this post you literally just made the point that beauty is actually objective. Classical art actually had objective standards (Or an "agreed" truth) based on natural phenomenon your brain finds interesting. When you break many classic pieces down, symmetry and other...

    Get Out (2017)

    The hypocrisy charge isn't from an anecdote, its from the specific message in the movie--it's just made worse by the view point its written from, because it illustrates that even in the best case scenarios this kind of racism is absolutely acceptable in our society, especially by well meaning...

    Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017)

    Get Out (2017)

    Every black man was literally getting his soul sucked out by a middle age white woman. It wasn't just Rose. Also, I think it satirizes the whole SJW stuff because the white people specifically represented were so clearly that. "Oh I loved Obama", and the cringe inducing obsequies behavior? You...

    Get Out (2017)

    That's brave posting your political opinions in a movie thread. After seeing the confrontation avoiding whiners everywhere I know now why my nephew gets offered to play with play doh after he might have been traumatized reading Huckleberry fin. I'm sorry you feel so butthurt (Or jealous?)...

    Get Out (2017)

    I mean, dude has a white wife and mother. It walks the line. It's biggest rebuke, for me, was against the moral outraged very wealthy Liberals who trumpet how terrible black people have it and then do nothing. But it had enough elements to be critical of people who believe there is no racism or...

    Get Out (2017)

    It is full of SJW tryhard shit--because it satirizes it. That's the joke. It also though kind of confirms it (IE the whole point of the movie is black people are exploited most by SJWs). Peele, as always, dances the line very well. (Yes I've seen it. No, I didn't pay for it.)

    Get Out (2017)

    Maybe because many of the "black" focused movies have racial components explicit in the films? Spoiler below for the "racial insight" of this film (Which ironically could be a slight against SJWs, but its also one of those moments where you realize Peele believes even people groveling and...

    Aren't guys from the firm that tabulates the votes supposed to be standing RIGHT there in case this ever happens? How the fuck did people make their speeches and all before they came out?

    Last Week Tonight with John Oliver

    So again, posting an opinion on a message board is the same as going and beating people, and actively blocking speech, right? Don't get me wrong, I get that you're trolling to save some face because you were completely unprepared for me to tea bag you like I just did, but man...Trolling will...

    Last Week Tonight with John Oliver

    It only lets me do 5 pieces of media. :( Chicago, Trump was driven from the Venue, his supporters were beaten by large crowds. (I actually have a lot more of these, mobs of people attack Trump supporters...but lets go with after election violence.) Man pulled from car and beaten...

    Last Week Tonight with John Oliver

    There are two instances of people being "beaten" at Trump rallies. One was a "Liberal" wearing a KKK costume punched by a black man. The other was a guy who was pushing people around and insulting people and got popped; the man who punched him was arrested, and apologized to the man he hit, they...

    Last Week Tonight with John Oliver

    When I see the Alt-Right state that Oliver's vitriol is inspiring violence against vulnerable people by attacking Trump, and that Olivers words are the same a violence? Then the term snow flake fits. Until then, you sound obtuse. Someone who has no idea how fucking bad shit has gotten and you're...

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    Dinosaurs were already going extinct before the event, too. Vertical farming and LEDs+Nuclear (Or fossil) would make it sustainable for some segments of the population. The vast majority would die though, whether other humans would kill the survivors is anyone's guess. More than half the...

    Hidden Figures: we wuz space kangz

    Bro, little different for a historical figure which isn't still alive today and deals with issues that are not currently getting people beaten in the streets and causing protests. Fuck, Scotland doesn't even want to leave anymore--they CHOSE to stay. So no one is really going to give a shit if...

    Rick and Morty

    This. I actually agree with his sentiment no joke should be out of line. But given a Nobel science prize winner was stripped of his position because a writer lied about a joke he told? Well, it's obvious this kind of solidarity only works in one direction. And that, to me, is extremely annoying...

    Hidden Figures: we wuz space kangz

    Yeah, but its a pretty big deal. From what I understand, NACA didn't want to segregate anything but they obeyed the state law. NASA did not, they did the right thing in spite of it and everyone at NASA went along with it. It's something we should commend and it was twisted for artistic license...

    Hidden Figures: we wuz space kangz

    Which part of the movie took place in the NACA? Which ended being an organization before the film takes place? NASA, which adopted digital computers. The installation was desegregated Nothing at NASA was segregated.

    Hidden Figures: we wuz space kangz

    The division of black/white units didn't exist, and a bunch of other 'systemic' stuff. NASA was really egalitarian, both in terms of race and sex. Issue is, there was no 'black campus'. They weren't segregated. I don't believe the bathrooms were segregated either (Though I don't have exact...

    Rerolled bro's, I need your help.....

    Get a few photos of him AND the girlfriend, go to where he grabbed food, where he dropped shit off, and the gas station where he fueled up. Show the photos to people who work there or around there and ask if they saw him (Or her). Also, importantly, ask if they saw anyone else with him. And make...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    If chances that low scare you, then you probably shouldn't touch your wife at all. There are so many things that can kill a human, they just don't because the odds are ridiculous that everything aligns perfectly. However, straight sex during pregnancy even carries risks--those risks are just so...

    Alien: Covenant (2017)

    My wife and I both said the same thing when watching it. "Why are scientists not using basic biological protection". "Because we don't know what's out there" (One scene)----->(Next Scene) Goes out there with no protection on. The fuck man....:(

    War for the Planet of the Apes (2017)

    Yep, that's the aspect that frustrates me while watching it. They are really well done, and I think they are good films. I just can't get into the story. Outside of Cesar? I just don't empathize with any of them, I consistently want the humans to win. It's especially difficult because even the...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    The dude bringing you coffee? He won't be helped. Unless a guy is bringing you some food during a traumatic time, its almost always a romantic gesture. Real ape brain shit; he's already hard wired you for possible romantic involvement. If you have no interest, need to cut it. Other one sounds...

    Blade Runner 2049 (2017)

    I have to admit, I don't think they could have gotten a better blade runner than Gosling. Dude has absolutely perfect the quiet conflicted man role. After drive and place beyond the pines? I'm open to the possibility.

    Well, the show is all over with its tech, its 2052, I'd want to say probably not space? But given they had flesh encoding handheld computers (When he repaired the one guys neck) and the hosts themselves? Some of the tech is so advanced its ridiculous. So space could be a god bet. Honestly...

    This. In the end, Ford said many, many times--there is nothing special about human consciousness. It's not some golden city on a hill. If she kills a human or a host it doesn't matter. There was no one there to reveal the narrative to except MIB--if they could impress MIB, the hardcore server...
