On twitter they are trying to figure out which characters would have voted for trump like Hank Hill or the parks and Recs libertarian: If still alive at 82, Holden Caulfield born 1934, is statistically probably Maga.

Some Guy TT posted:Opera Australia prompted a similar backlash after casting a non-Hispanic performer as Maria for its 2019 production of West Side Story, a work with its own lengthy tradition of white performers playing Puerto Rican characters. there are white Puerto Ricans. Latin American nationality is not a race besides that though, goddamn, I didn't realize how much opera loves blackface

There’s no chronological or geographic rationale but I always figured Holden Caulfield would grow up to be Humbert Humbert.

I thought about this before, if it was the 2016 election: Hank: Hillary, reluctantly, and feel depressed about it Peggy: Trump, but tells everyone Hillary Bill: Trump. Duh. Dale: Trump Boomhauer: Hillary or maybe Evan McMullin Luanne: Gloria La Riva Cotton: Trump Kahn: Trump Strickland: Trump Trying not to project Echo Chamber has issued a correction as of 03:36 on Jul 23, 2020 |

Bill would be 100% full Q-anon/Maga and believe everything someone in that group tells him. Dale would have an initial interest but get kicked out of a q-anon group for also believing in conspiracies that implicate Trump in something.

hank would hate both trump and hillary but and would say its his civic duty to keep it a secret. he would have a crisis of faith in the ballot booth and be miserable until learning dale accidentally destroyed all the ballots due to a chain of events that started with him declaring a blood feud with donald after meeting him outside an atlantic city conspiracy convention in the 90s

Yeah, both are siege movies, but John Carpenter is a massive, massive Howard Hawks fan. And people have asked him and he’s just said “yeah I made it because I wanted to do my own Rio Bravo”, and played off the headlines of the mid-70s to modernize it. if cowboy movies hadn’t been dead when he got into filmmaking he’d probably have spent his career doing that.

i will admit that i LOVE escape from new york even though its premise hinges on the same vague racialized "crime" that apparently overtakes america in the late 80s or so escape from new york is a great example of a movie that succeeds even though it's very front-loaded. that scene at the beginning where snake is handcuffed at lee van cleef's desk is just so atmospheric and good. i love how lee van cleef still keeps cigarettes in a case on his desk in the far-off future of 1997 and snake just helps himself to one

i think hanks 2020 opinion is a more interesting thought experiment because hed totally be on the biden train but only because hes not aware of all the shady poo poo bidens done over the years and i dont think biden holds on to the hank hill vote in the event of a serious oppo campaign which we still havent seen this cycle

Also want to recommend Harley Quinn, esp if your a comic fan or of the old batman animated series. The characters are kept pretty faithful even though its humor is absurd and violent, and it might have the best take on jim gordan https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kn_moRlHE0c

Hank is the kind of guy who agonizes over not voting. He would have been unable to vote for Trump after Bobby says "grab them by the pussy" at breakfast in 2016. In my head canon episode about 2016 he would have pretended to vote, going into the booth, shaking his head, exiting, and then he would get mad when people try talk about the election with him

Yeah I remember the election episode they did where Hank initially practically idolizes GWB "the greatest orator of our time" and just a poor handshake is enough to make him agonize over the vote.

I always assumed the "crime" in poo poo like Escape From New York is just extrapolation of the "crimes" of homelessness and drug addiction. I aint seen that movie in years but I'd be surprised if there's more people in Manhattan than in prisons all over america irl. edit: I of course forgot the crime of mental illness Peanut President has issued a correction as of 16:20 on Jul 23, 2020 |
