Watching a James Bond film (Moonraker) rn and its pretty boring ngl, even the gondola-speedboat chase with the knife throwing assassin in a coffin felt sort of half assed (hexbear.net)

That sounds like it would have been a lot of fun to do.

So I know you didn't mean anything by the use of the term peanut gallery but I just wanted to give you a heads up that the phrase has racist origins, because of course it does!

This is not a struggle session. This is one of those "Goddamn it, why didn't anyone tell me this before?" moments. And it's gonna be worse when I tell you I'm not even American and that I've never stepped foot in the US. Death to America etc. etc.

Fuuuuuuuuuck!! We can't have shit because of racists!!! It's rather fitting for a lot of the bond films though, some of the most racist stuff gets played off so casually.

How about we call it the shoe gallery? headshot

I'm in favour of calling it the Statler and Waldorf gallery

But I suppose that's a bit dated.

In the famous words of Bob Katter: "Let there be a thousand blossoms bloom!"

I personally just say "cheap seats." Has a good flow to it.
