Movie Thread

It's Jurassic World all over again. But damn I have the hots for Bryce Dallas Howard!

 

Another thing about Rogue One: it is a war movie. Like, a 60's and 70's type of WWII movie. Are war movies even made any more?...seems like the modernAfghanistan stuff doesn't work as well as WWII movies did.

 

I see stuff like this said here a lot. I really don't understand it.

Why is pissing feminists off a good thing? It it some "cool guy" pseudo macho thing I'm missing?

Genuinely curious.

 

Because they suck.

Was hoping for something a bit more mature, but I know where I am.

Defining "feminist" would be too much to ask.

Ah well... COMIC BOOK MOVIES!

 

Yeah..."I hate Lena Dunham, so feminists suck".
All I know is that in every crew I've led in construction, the women outperformed the men 2 to 1 in nearly every metric except lifting heavy objects, and the men almost lost that one too. Bill Gates told Iran that they would never advance in the world stage or achieve greatness as long as they continued to keep half of their population subjugated. I think he's right.

 

If you have seen the movie and read some of the comments regarding this movie, you might understand where I'm coming from.

I'm not sure how anyone can watch that movie and walk away from it saying the whole premise is celebrating white male privilege.

One even goes on to state that this movie is a sign that to "fix" the world's problems, we should change the idea of maleness and masculinity on a biological level.

Seriously W...T...F?

 

No idea as to the movie or what it's about. But I see the whole "yay! People that care about women's equality are pissed off!" stuff on this board a good bit. It's odd. I'm guessing it's mostly pseudo machoism in the form of jokes... but yeah... makes me wonder.

 

I think most of this stems from the subset of feminism that basically identifies everything male related as privilege and/or oppression to females.

I have a serious problem with a group of people who think that there is a problem with the existence of males because of what they deem as "male nature" and that somehow eradicating maleness (whatever that means) is the answer.

 

The Accountant was really good, watched it this weekend and will watch again.. I liked the whole "nice to see you brother.. i love you too brother" part, i laughed
