I miss the genre of movie where literally anything can happen and there’s no questioning it. there’s no judgment. like. a bunch of kids explore a booby trap rigged cave system & find a pirate ship with treasure while an italian crime family tries to kill them. some guys start a ghost fighting agency and then blow up a giant stay puff marshmallow man. david bowie is a goblin king and there’s wonky puppets and a labyrinth. a child commits war crimes against two burglars on christmas. a dad pretends to be a nanny to hang out with his kids. jim carrey in eighty pounds of green make up and fur terrorizes a town. like seriously. bring back absolutely hog wild bonkers ass movies. shits getting boring
The “why do they like the Jesus statue, but not me, even though we’re both made of wood” scene in GDT’s Pinocchio is great because on the one hand, excellent criticism of the hypocrisy often running rampant in religious communities, but on the other hand, well, you see, Pinocchio, that one doesn’t move and talk.
Del Toro/Mchale adapting Pleasure Island as a Fascist Youth Camp where the boys are forced to train and play war games, turning them from innocent boys into mindless soldiers (jackasses, if you will) is a masterstroke- I think seeing the kids and Pinocchio run around with fake guns and grenades, knowing that something bad was going to happen to those kids was more stress inducing than the original scene in the 1940 version.
I think that for every episode of bake off that has a foreign country as a theme there should be a special third judge that is just a grandma of that nationality and they should be equipped with an air horn they can toot in paul hollywood’s smug face whenever he confidently says something completely incorrect about a bake’s construction, flavour, texture, etc etc
My favorite piece of lore about the Thirty Years' War is that everyone was CONVINCED Prince Rupert's dog, "Boy," was a Wicked Demon with Dark Powers. And the dog apparently looked like this:
The suspect in a Buffalo mass shooting reportedly live streamed the massacre on Twitch and posted a 106-page manifesto pushing a racist conspiracy theory prior to the attack.
"A man has opened fire at a supermarket in Buffalo, New York while live-streaming on Twitch, killing at least 10 people and injuring several others, local officials and witnesses say," BNO News reported Saturday. "A 106-page online manifesto, believed to have been uploaded by the shooter, explained that he was motivated by a conspiracy theory that white people are being replaced by other races. In the document, he says he is 18 years old and a self-described white supremacist and anti-semite."
J.J. MacNab, a researcher at George Washington University program on extremism, studied the 106-page manifesto allegedly posted by the shooter.
"He self identifies as a white supremacist fascist with Neo-Nazi beliefs who is anti "high fertility immigrants" under the white replacement theory. There are several 4chan markers," she explained. "He states that he was radicalized online on 4chan and was inspired by Brenton Tarrant's manifesto and livestreamed mass shooting in New Zealand."
