Dan Arel is the gift that keeps giving, a shining beacon illustrating the depths of stupidity of the regressive left and Antifa. Although he missed getting a Cuntie last year, he's going strong for 2018.

Re: There are 2018 genders... and a bitch ain't one
No doubt you're right about the costumes, but (on face value) the gofundme is a different and more constructive thing entirely. It seems to be to do with mentoring which, if it's any good is a path to responsibility and independence and not victimhood or entitlement. If it helps to take the kids to see a silly comic book film to get them involved, then fair enough.John D wrote: ↑Prediction... next Halloween it will be racist for a white kids to dress like Black Panther.

Great. Now it’s out of context, and I look like Steersman.
Re: There are 2018 genders... and a bitch ain't one
Thanks for reminding me. I'm definitely going to want to have a gun duct taped to my back.
Re: There are 2018 genders... and a bitch ain't one
Cool. Hollywood is catering to a crowd that wants to make the majority of the movie's prospective audience unwelcome or uncomfortable in attending. What could go wrong? Sure, maybe itll be another financial catastrophe, but at least they'll be able to blame the shunned demographics that took the cues & didn't attend. Can't wait for the first big trans movie.

Re: There are 2018 genders... and a bitch ain't one
It should be, when the film purports to be historically accurate. I'm fine with poetic license to move along a story, but not when it's used to create a biased and false impression.
In short:What are you referring to specifically btw? I only followed what was reported in the papers, but nothing jumped out to me.
* Grant was beatified by adding fictional elements and scenes while omitting important details, such as a long rap sheet that included weapons possession and, most importantly, resisting arrest. The implication, that Grant had 'turned the corner' and given up a life of crime, is unsubstantiated. A relationship with his daughter is prominently featured, yet he'd mostly ignored her for much of her life;
* The cops, otoh, are fictionalized and portrayed as 2-D racist bullies with no background stories of their own. Coogan may as well have cast two Imperial Stormtroopers for these roles;
* The fictional young white woman who wants to befriend Grant / burn his coal in her hopper, is pure, heavy-handed pathos designed to stroke the white guilt of Emily Lakdwaddalla and her fellow virtue-signaling cucks who surely carefully avoided the Grand Lake opening of FRUITVALE STATION and who certainly wouldn't be caught dead boarding BART at Fruitvale Station. A better option would have been to simply splice in a clip of Paul McCartney and Michael Jackson signing Ebony & Ivory;
* The events leading up to Grant's arrest are sanitized and, when not simply pulled out of Coogan's ass, based only on the eyewitness accounts that paint Grant in the most favorable light. Other witnesses saw Grant repeatedly bash someone's head into the car window. Grant is shown pleading with the cop when in fact he was actively resisting arrest. The cop stepped back and announced 'I'm gonna taze him' and can be seen reacting in confusion at the report of his own sidearm. All this is omitted from the film.

Re: There are 2018 genders... and a bitch ain't one
Looking at the IMDB scores and metacritic user reviews will probably be a good gauge of that, since shitlords are allowed to have opinions on those sites. I note that on IMDB ghostbusters is hanging out at a 5.3 out of 10, and on Metacritic the users give it 2.9/10 (critical score of 60/100). It will be especially interesting to see if there is more or less disagreement between the critics and users on metacritic. Currently the critical score for Black Panther is 88/100 so at very least the early critics think it is a better movie than Ghostbusters was.deLurch wrote: ↑Yeah. I think a difference may be that this film might actually be decent by superhero movie standards.Ape+lust wrote: ↑Tue Feb 13, 2018 11:08 amI think it's a replay of what happened with Ghostbusters, only more intense. Ghostbusters was garbage, but few wanted to be dogpiled for being misogynists, so most reviewers lauded it. This time it's about race and people are being waaaay more assholish about it. That 3rd "negative" review is by an Irishman named Ed Powers and he's getting reamed as a Nazi hack who wants nigras to disappear. The fact is, he gave it 3 out of 5 stars, which means he liked it, he just didn't love it. But that hasn't kept his review from being called NEGATIVE every time it's cited.
But who would know? Anyone speaking ill or even average of the film is getting branded as a racist. It sounds like career suicide for film critics to say anything bad about the movie.
I am going to wait until audiences actually see the movie and can report back.
Then again, I have a feeling that Disney's PR marketing campaign is purposely using racial divisive rhetoric to market their film, as was done with feminism & ghostbusters. And if that is the case, they won't see one thin dime of mine.

I don't think Disney are quite as foolish and pigheaded as Sony, and I also think even the most idiotic SJWs telling white people en masse to fuck off won't actually prevent the movie from making loads of money.Easy J wrote: ↑ Cool.

But it should serve as a warning that in the present climate it isn't possible to use any sort of "benign" progressivism as a marketing ploy because shitheads are going to use it as culture war ammunition and make it needlessly adversarial.

Re: There are 2018 genders... and a bitch ain't one
You can't, though. There are too many. Plus, even if you try, you will do something "problematic" because anything that looks anything like reality will be offensive to someone. Social Justice has the same mentality about sin that Christianity does. In fact the whole religion is just a re-skinned version of Christianity. MLK is the new Jesus - the only sinless man ever (although he'll probably be tarred an feathered eventually by trans activists or something - which will be a problem). And of course, social justice Satan is Hitler, which explains why he is more infamous than Stalin despite having been responsible for the deaths of a smaller number of people. Bigotry is the new sin, and everyone has sin. The SJW puritans are sure everyone is predestined for hell and that thier microheresies prove as much.

I don't understand why you're so upset about this. The reality is that half the country thought one thing and half thought another. It's not realistic to suppose that millions of people are going to suddenly change their minds.
The main point, though, is that nothing hinges on this at all. The government consider themselves bound by the results of their referendum, even the ones who think it's a bad policy and it's passed the point of no return now. It is worrying, though, how many of those who thought leaving the EU was such a great idea now seem to regard the policy as so fragile that the mere existence of people who disagree is going to scupper it.
An incoming McDonnell/Corbyn government (all but inevitable given current shambles) won't have the political will or the ability to reverse it, so you don't have to worry there.
It's as if, if we all close our eyes, wish upon a star and pretend that May and Johnson are doing anything other than haplessly muddling through, all the obvious economic consequences of this policy will just go away.
Re: There are 2018 genders... and a bitch ain't one
It's the dithering and pissing about over Brexit that's pissing me off. It's bad enough that these cunts (here and on the continent) are so fucking arrogant that they didn't even have any kind of plan in place for what would happen in the event of a vote to leave, but now we have absolute incompetence on our side actually doing the deal.
Why aren't we leveraging the grand plan? Why haven't we confirmed that we can indeed retract article 50. If we can, why don't we say "If we ain't getting a good deal we stay in as a permanent spanner in the works"

Yep, would have described my self as a reluctant remainer but didnt vote due to work circumstances on the day and acceptance of the general consensus, assuming it had emerged and was acted on, and was not against the idea of leaving in principle, if handled properly. But UK Govt handling of this has been a shit storm from the start.

2/3 of Labour supporters voted against leaving, but strangely enough Corbyn's at most pretty lukewarm/neutral acceptance of the EU (and the reluctant status quo) was probably closer to my own view at the time, and possible quite a few people, but if given the close margin of the result ,piginthecity wrote: ↑I don't understand why you're so upset about this.

The government consider themselves bound by the results of their referendum, even the ones who think it's a bad policy and it's passed the point of no return now. It is worrying, though, how many of those who thought leaving the EU was such a great idea now seem to regard the policy as so fragile that the mere existence of people who disagree is going to scupper it.
An incoming McDonnell/Corbyn government (all but inevitable given current shambles) won't have the political will or the ability to reverse it, so you don't have to worry there.
It's as if, if we all close our eyes, wish upon a star and pretend that May and Johnson are doing anything other than haplessly muddling through, all the obvious economic consequences of this policy will just go away.
he could have swung it . But it's the uncertainty that is worse thing and we are now clearer about what will happen 18 months or so on.

About 18 months ago I was volunteering at a local addiction treatment service and one wednesday,what must have been the entire heroin addicted population of a small Bulgarian town rocked up on the service' doorstep demanding methadone. ! lad had come over as a farm worker, got hooked on smack, got treatment and told his pals back home how awesome it is. I'm not joking, 14 Bulgarian heroin addicts just showed up expecting housing and methadone.
And now we have gang warfare in my area as Bulgarians and Albanians with Hungarian nationality are fighting with the local Pakistanis for control of the hard drug trade which the Pakistanis have had sewn up for 30 years.
