MonsieurChoc posted:Discourse changed, but when it came time to actually go through with changing reality, the movement was smothered. It's good that it helped you, but don't get angry at me for pointing out how it was thrown under the loving bus. And yes, powerful people find it easier to get away with misdeeds, no poo poo. Nobody disagrees that's a bad loving thing. Get out of here with this pedantic, strawman crap.

When every single DNC-aligned news outlet and also every single liberal celebrity booster associated with the MeToo movement suddenly aligns at once to directly ignore the rhetoric and beliefs they'd been espousing for years to call a rape victim a liar, russian asset, and con artist on national television for the crime of being raped by the democratic frontrunner, then yes, that is "the DNC trying to kill MeToo," and if you are unwilling to accept that then you need to do some serious self reflection on how you interface with politics.

The arguments on the last page seem to be along the lines of “the democrats didn’t kill metoo because it’s not that easy to actually kill an idea” than an endorsement that their behaviour was cool and good though.

I haven't gotten irritated at most people arguing your point, but it's irritating when people post "sniff sniff" poo poo about other posters based on almost nothing. If that was not your intention, I apologize. massive spider posted:The arguments on the last page seem to be along the lines of “the democrats didn’t kill metoo because it’s not that easy to actually kill an idea” than an endorsement that their behaviour was cool and good though. Pretty much this. Yeah, the DNC 100% dropped MeToo and "Believe Women" once a big name was accused and it was no longer useful to them. They 100% wanted it to go away. But I never believed MeToo was going to negatively affect people like Biden anyways. Also, I didn't really believe it was about making sure all abusers are punished. And if MeToo didn't work, why's my Castlevania getting cancelled =(. (I wanna be clear Ellis deserves to lose the show).

I know I enjoyed the movie then, but yeah, I loathed Nelson's character. I wonder how I'd feel about the movie now. It's interesting how Molly feels about what happened to her character in Breakfast Club, and how the actress in 16 Candles feels about what happened to her character. It's been 4 years since that article came out. I wonder if her thoughts have changed. SimonChris posted:Reminds me of this: Lmao I forgot about the troops in Iraq line. The only thing worse than sharing a movie with someone and them not reacting to anything, is sharing a movie that aged extremely poorly. Edit to add: An ex's friend watched Ninja Scroll with his mom. He hadn't seen the movie before and hoo boy.

I don't really think Bender is meant to be a model for how you're supposed to act, like he's a delinquent from an abusive home and everything he does is built on that. He isn't even sympathetic until we hear about his home life and see how the principal treats him. I mean, I don't like that he basically ends up dating Molly Ringwald's character in the end because it kind of sends a bad message. But I think what Hughes was going for was a redemption arc. Like Bender has been a huge piece of poo poo for a long time but maybe he'll turn himself around now instead of turning into his dad.

I think it's the fact that he ends up with Ringwald's character without much reflection? that makes it so annoying to me. But again, it's been ages since I've watched it, so I can't comment much. Skwirl posted:Ah, I just remembered a similar article from Molly Ringwald talking about rewatching 16 candles a few years back. It might be the same article. This one is actually from 2018.

I’m not gonna say that every single Scientologist is a bad person but you can almost guarantee when they start to circle the wagons around someone and put their defenses up that person is probably guilty as poo poo. Rich Scientologists are made to believe by the church that there are no consequences for their actions even beyond the usual rich person poo poo because they have a billion dollar entity ready to commit all sorts of crimes to keep their names out of the mud. One of the victims’ husbands came out and said that after coming forward with these accusations their dogs were poisoned, which is not the first time I’ve heard of Scientologists going after pets to try and send a message.
