Open the Pod Bay Doors, Barbie?

OK, leave your My Little Pony fanfic characters elsewhere.

Probably somewhat NSFW



Is seth green fanfic or mainstreem parody?

Saw it last night. Wonderful, touching, provoking and frequently laugh out loud funny.

Guys upset by this movie need to get a self-esteem tune-up. The piss-takes at our expense were hilarious.

Went with my partner and might take Mum to see it this week. Last time I went to a flick twice at the pictures was Titanic, ffs.

Robbie was fantastic but Gosling was an absolute scene stealer. I've had "I'm just Ken" stuck in my head all day.

Good job William S Burroughs is dead:

Yeah, there's an app for that these days.

Though it would be interesting to see if anyone has had the AI reproduce him covering Star Me Kitten...

What’s the app?

Well I was exaggerating for comic effect.

It's likely just a matter of time though.

"Siri, can you have Barry White sing 'Let It Go'?"

"MMM. The snow glows white on the mount tonight, oh yeah baby! Not a footprint to be seen..."

Huh. Ben Shapiro should have loved the movie, then.

Opposite. Shapiro thinks women getting wet is the sign of a medical issue.

Right, but she's not in the movie, so everything's okay, then.

Having had to clean up the porn room, I can confirm he did that.

I haven't seen the movie, but if you have to be sexist towards men in order to prop up the women in movies and television then that tells me that you are not learning from history, you are repeating it.

This is a thing in the imaginations of insecure reactionary dimwits.
Y'know what I think is sexist to men? Treating them as the disposable gender, and throwing them in the meat-grinder of war.
I never see these "men's rights" fuckers crying about the body count in Rambo movies, or Punisher movies.
You're never going to see it happen.
Don't wait for it.
They're the same old towel snapping locker room bullies trying to wear enlightenment masks.
No one's buying it.
I don't even buy that you're buying it.

Ever heard of Stepin Fetchit? One of the first really huge black actors in American cinema. And I do mean huge, he was pulling down money that some well-known white stars were envious of. Eventually, however, he fell out of popularity with audiences of all races, since his characters in films were often nothing more than racist stereotypes. A few decades before his death people realized a few things: 1.) His characters could easily be seen as manifestations of a Trickster figure from mythology. Think the witchdoctor baboon in The Lion King and Yoda when he first met Luke and was fucking with his head. 2.) If it hadn't been for him being onscreen and popular with white audiences, it might have taken a lot longer for other black actors to be able to land serious roles in Hollywood. There's a good chance that if white audiences hadn't found themselves laughing uproariously at Stepin's antics on the screen, we might never have gotten Sydney Poiter, or a host of other black actors, who've all been praised for their acting ability.

The simple truth is that humans think in patterns, not always the same patterns, of course, but if something is going to break us out of that pattern in a short period of time, it has to be pretty dramatic. Do you think that white audiences in 1930s could have handled a movie like, "Look Who's Coming to Dinner"? Probably not, and it doesn't have to be because of racism, either. Just the fact that it is so alien to their experiences and expectations they'd have trouble processing it. To the point that a great many of them would say, "What is this thing? It can't be a movie, that's not how movies work!" Simply because the idea of a black man in a leading role in a movie with white actors who are well-established isn't something that they thought one would do.

So, if you're trying to get your toe in the door with a new idea, and you can't pull off the incredibly dramatic event well enough to shock people back to their senses, then what you have to do is take the stereotypes people are familiar with and bend them a little in a different direction. It's like in the first episode of TNG, they made sure to drop references in for TOS to let people know that they were attempting to duplicate the quality of the original. Another thing about those really big events, it might take more than one.

Men are traditionally in combat, that’s why you see them as canon fodder, because they are. Edge of Tomorrow had a woman in combat and she was a badass and nobody complained because Tom Cruise and Emily Blunt grew together as characters. They were partners. They didn’t have to put down Tom Cruise in order to elevate Emily Blunt.

Eventually. He had to go through the loop a couple hundred times until he got good.
He was a knucklehead before that.

It’s called a character arc/ heroes journey. Luke had to be defeated by Vader before being able to beat him.

Then maybe Ken will be badass by Barbie 3.

Again, haven’t seen the movie so I can’t really comment.
