I’ve heard a lot of bad stuff about it mainly due to the cgi of the dead actor, but it’s ableist too? I was already annoyed it existed since they made this instead of another Ridley prequel but I didn’t realize it was that bad

I’m James Cameron’s biggest defender and think he’s the best American blockbuster filmmaker, but I will admit I think Aliens is near the bottom of his filmography. I prefer Alien way more, Aliens to me is just decent

“In Alien she is the scratched liberal, and in Aliens she is the fascist who bleeds,” is hilarious though

I’m so mad one of my coworkers comes a few inches from my face to tell me that he’s “sick as a dog” and that he “was up all night freezing” and “almost didn’t come into work today but fuck it”. I can’t afford to get sick, not to mention the countless customers he’s going to get sick too. I fucking hate how selfish and individualistic American society is.

Yeah I feel like I’ve heard that about him, and given the other stuff I’ve read from him I’m surprised he wrote something not terrible. I’ll probably check out Hickman’s Ultimate Thor limited series from a decade ago after this

Cw: Capeshit

Started reading some cape shit comic slop during my breaks at work and Millar’s Ultimates 2 is accidentally based? The Avengers are tools of American imperialism who destabilize a country for having nukes but Thor’s a leftist who actually challenges them and opposes the military industrial complex (He was sent to Earth by Odin to end the war on terror lmao). I say accidental because I’m pretty sure the writer is a neocon through and through and the way he wrote some of the characters in the first volume is edgy and cringe at best and reactionary at worst.

“All they have to do is say ‘nuclear weapons’ and Tony Stark just falls into line like the rest of them. Do you think that’s how they’ll get you to invade all their other target countries? Supposing they decide China’s a threat a few years down the line?” The MCU wishes they could have a Thor at least 1/10th as cool

Playboi Carti filmed his new music video at the French Communist Party Headquarters, do you think he knows who Althusser is?

Monopoly slander ooooooooooooooh

 
 

copy and pasting this from the daily discussion thread: “struggling so hard with my philosophy paper where we have to analyze any philosopher’s thoughts on ethics we agree with and abide by because i disagree with everyone we’ve learned about in some way 😭 aristotelian virtue ethics, kantian ethics, existentialism, and utilitarianism just have way too many idealist and individualist flaws for me to get behind

are there any prominent philosophers whose thoughts on ethics are compatible with materialism, determinism, etc., and advocate for things like empathy, liberation, etc.?”

 

“fuck these fascists i got jew ties” this is why he’s the GOAT

i usually listen to underground rap but i’ve been on a my first huge classic hip hop binge in a while, at least a few years, and have have been listening to a bunch of ghostface so i’m curious

 

i’m about to start a 5-7 page research paper for my world history class about any significant historical events, people, ideological movements, etc., that take place anywhere between 1500-now and i’m not 100% sure about what to write. i was kinda interested in maybe writing about the french revolution but i’m sure there’s better stuff out there, i was also considering writing about marxism/class struggle or the russian revolution but idk if it’s a good idea to go full blown tankie LMAO but i might change my mind idk

so yeah just wondering if anyone can think of any fun topics to research and write about for my paper, any personal favorite pieces of history in that time frame, etc?

edit: i don’t have the time to respond to every comment but all these suggestions are amazing i’m definitely going to use one of these, thank you everyone!

 

i just love it’s dark and almost mythic nautical, maritime vibes and i just can’t find anything else that even resembles that

so if anyone knows of any movies (or any other media) that resemble that please drop them in the comments
