SympathysSilhouette

Really been enjoying this show a lot. Though I did think episode five was the weakest so far. Still good! But not as good as the first four imho.

Possibly! But many of her peers seem less discrete about their boyfriends! In any case, I don't want to keep up this treadjack any longer! Thanks for the info, everyone.

Thanks for the info! Wasn't aware of either of those two relationships.

I'm kind of serious, I'm not overly interested in models' love lives, but with most of the models on BZ, you cannot help notice the occasional mention of a boyfriend, or the guy showing up on their social media. But I can't recall ever seeing a dude openly linked to Mella? Which I guess means she is very private about her love life (which is understandable). But it stands out compared to most of her peers.

I kind of thought it would have been hard for her to return anyway. She burned a lot of bridges. So this is just her accepting the inevitable?

Is Effy's chest natural? Because it's giving off a lot of "fake" vibes in these two shots.

Who is she dating? Seems she is pretty discrete about her love life? I don't recall ever seeing a lot of details about her boyfriends.

Who is she? She is very cute!

I think Peter Dinklage is entitled to his opinion and to express that opinion publicly? Whatever happened to "diversity of thought". I think his objection is not to the cast of little people in those roles but to how they have historically been portrayed in Hollywood.

This video clip was directed by Michael Moore... So this is who they have always been. I've been a Rage fan since I was 13-14, I don't think their stance on this is inconsistent with their past. Quite the opposite.

Neil Young is a polio survivor. He did not want to share a space with someone broadcasting an anti-vax message. He made Spotify choose between him and Rogan and they chose Rogan. I don't see the huge problem here if you are someone who loves Rogan and now hates Young. Seems like it panned out how you'd want it to pan out! Seems to me that Neil Young has as much right as anyone else to decide which platforms his music is hosted on.

What about being anti-establishment means you also have to be anti-science? 😕

How the actual fuck are people surprised that Rage is left-leaning? Have you ever listened to their lyrics? Take notice of their imagery? They shot a fucking music video with Michael Moore! "I cannot believe a band whose logo is based on Zapatistas is left-wing!" = Apparently a real thing people are saying in 2022!

Her body is unreal.

Christen looks better like this! I didn't like it when she had lost a tiny bit too much weight.

I like the directors (Adil El Arbi & Bilall Falah)

I wouldn't be too surprised at some Dutch ancestry, there is something slightly Dutch about her facial features.

Cindy is a dreamboat.

I can't believe they didn't include Roger Stone in this meme!

Heya Pinky, how are you doing?

I think where we disagree is that I don't really see a woke agenda in a lot of the bad media we are being confronted with. There are reasons for why things are shitty, but I have given my perspective on why I think that is above. I see the direct influence of "wokeness" a lot more in stuff like SISE (MJ's activism through swimsuit issue) than I see it in TV and movies. A good movie is a good screenplay adapted to the screen by an able director, who marshals the various departments to create something special. But I am not overly preoccupied with the exact nature of the story or who the cast is (as long as they are good). Probably my favorite film of the past few years was "Portrait de la Jeune Fille en Feu" and that barely has any lines for male characters. But it is a beautiful story, incredibly well-shot, with some inventive scenes and a terrific soundtrack.

But this is conflating two things. Your original objection was to the character itself (her and Rey) and not to the actress who portrays her. I haven't read many American comics, but I did read quite a bit of the older Miss Marvel runs (back when Captain Marvel was still Miss Marvel). The Brian Reed run from the mid noughties. And she was already pretty high-powered even back then.

The cast is about the only thing I like about it. Especially Kate McKinnon doing a "female Egon" thing. But it is one of the worst-written movies I can remember seeing. Written by someone who clearly does not care about nor understand Ghostbusters. Before he himself was cancelled for apparently being a sexual predator, Max Landis wrote a good critique of it. Including the fact that a supposedly "progressive" movie had made the black character the only one who did not have an advanced degree (remember that she worked for the MTA whilst all of the others had a STEM background).

But Cap Marvel isn't the only overpowered character? So do you also hate say Superman then? Or Supergirl?

But what is woke about Afterlife? It's just a bad Ghostbusters movie. That sort of tried to make "Stranger Things, but it's Ghosbusters!" instead of a proper Ghostbusters film.
