Eternal Sunshine if a Spotless Mind has such good reviews and people speak fondly of it online. I hated it, just thought both characters were insufferable, and there was nothing remotely romantic about it. Felt like I was trapped in the bad relationship with them.
This movie is fine. I don’t understand why it tops so many peoples lists for greatest movie though.
God she’s incredible.
Lee Pace. He has done a lot of great tv recently, and is easily the best part of the shows he is in. I hope to see a Cillian Murphy-esque rise from excellent tv to starring in great movies.
He has been in Twilight, the Hobbit movies, and the MCU which are all huge franchices. But I hope he gets good interesting parts like his chracters in Halt amd Catch Fire, The Foundation, and the Fall.
I mean, I understand that taste is subjective, but you don’t get to be the lead actor in a movie if you are ugly. Even the weird looking actors and actresses that people argue about are striking to look at compared to a lot of normal people.
Kieran Culkin “ye of little faith” while shaking his fist at his wife was adorable.
Thanks for the thread!
They are supporting wide scale loss of employment opportunities as retribution for one job that they felt had an unfair result. This logic is inherently selfish. But it will be difficult to change anyone’s mind that thinks this way if they are unable to empathize.
The amount of stories I heard from older generations while I was expecting. “Don’t lift your arms above your head.” “Don’t lean down and get a pot out of the drawer.” It seems every woman has a story, or the story of a friend highlighting the ever present risks.
The original comment made a big deal about jobs requiring physical ability. But there are so many jobs thill be impacted by this DEI freeze that are behind desks and are probably safer than being home alone.
We should have properly covered maternity leave so they do not need to risk themselves or the child. It’s unbelievable to me that we don’t have that yet.
I love that you see ending DEI and, therefore, the employment of pregnant women as a good thing. But retroactively wish that our government could establish properly covered maternity leave.
You are incredibly naive if you think that will ever happen. DEI was a solution to that problem. Lobbyists pour huge amounts of money into preventing any significant mandates for maternity leave. People had to fight to continue to work and have job security because it is crystal clear that no one is coming to help us. We have to work. We have to feed our kids somehow.
Your logic is flawed. If they came up with a plan to cover maternity leave and then dropped the DEI, maybe it would make sense. But those actions in reverse? Directly lead to an increase in human suffering. The fact that you can not see that and are just happy that you have less competition in the working world demonstrates a lack of empathy. “Ohh, if only our government would properly cover maternity leave.” You don’t actually care. Stop pretending.
I realize I my diatribe was pregnancy related. But it goes without saying that this logic follows for disabilities and plenty of other situations.
Who the fuck is going to pay us to sit home and be Suzie Home Maker? All I see in these statements is some distorted idea of galantry. “The woman shouldn’t have to work” … in this economy?
In reality, being unable to work during pregnancy will leave women dependant on their partners and the family in a worse financial situation. They want us locked away in our own little boxes too poor to break free.
We shouldn’t be forced to replace tech this frequently. If you are comfortable shelling out money for the next big thing that is on you. The rest of us want functioning products that last.
