Mel Gibson’s “Hacksaw Ridge” (2016), based on Medal of Honor winner and Christian conscientious objector-Army medic Desmond Doss, is wonderful. It cost ~$46 million and made ~$175 million and counting.

More Super Queero movies should do it. /s

[hoosierham]

That UGLY Chevy was probably the Aztec. And named after a bloodthirsty savage empire to boot. What’s not to like?

[Uncle Lonny]

This guy pegs it.

Factual and eloquent!

Everyone at the movie is a foreigner. Why would I put up with that?

[freepertoo]

Ohhhh...please bring back Gene Kelly, animation wizards.

[ican'tbelieveit]

Easy, increasing access to streaming, commercial free content

[Biggirl]

Did a quick online search. The program looks real.

The way I see it, this is strong anecdotal evidence that this country is ripe for a turnaround.

The best is yet to come.

Those are TWO statements I will TOTALLY agree with.

WT* do they expect?

It is more delicious Phil IMHO. Good luck with your Calipornia succession when your prime source of income is sucking pond water. No I am not tired of winning...

It may also result in thousands upon thousands of very geeky small film producers making movies in their parents’ garage.

I can’t imagine a dystopian hellhole as depicted in BR not featuring such things. That wouldn’t be realistic.

Thanks for that link.

I get sick of watching some skinny little woman that benches 110 lbs beating up some white guy that would destroy her with one punch—it’s stupidly unbelievable. Also, every movie has some African good guy, who is also a genius, leading the victors over some half-witted white guy, or an astonishingly brilliant queer who turns out to be the tough guy that triumphs over some homophobic Nazi.

Yeah, it seems like every movie must have:

- the diminutive woman who kicks the asses of guys three times her size and strength
- the black computer nerd
- and the gay who is is more tolerant, or human, than anyone else

Yes, you get sick of it!

[Neoliberalnot]

Good. We’ve been talking about top priority enemies on FR for more than a decade, the old media empire and homowood are the primary components. Destroy them and everything changes for the better.

[Neoliberalnot]

I don’t pay any attention to typos. I look for ideas and interpretations and there are some good ones here.

[SaraJohnson]

Liberalism is why we can’t have nice things anymore.
