Look I love being alone in room silently. I'll stare at a wall for an hour and not complain, I'm an introvert I love it. But if you give me a button that shocks me, I'm not gonna not press it.

Honestly wtf even is a left-comm? I've only seen that as an online term.

Well we're also concerned about the campaign promises we do think he'll keep, like paying cops more and "standing up to China."

Politically left means "likes weed" in this context and nothing else.

This isn't a "shit on this director" thread, I'm actually a big fan. Which is why I was a little shocked I can't think of any specific meaning to derive from his films. I had a teacher say once that writing something you have to ask yourself "so what? why am I writing this" but I can't for the life of me think of what the larger message is behind a single one. Jackie Brown maybe is the exception there, Hateful 8 even less likely.

I know not every movie has to be a moral struggle session, but it seems like the pattern is he likes making movies and there isn't anything deeper than that. And not in the Coen brothers way of "there is no message is the message" kind of theme that highlights the absurdity of reality. Quentin leans into the camp as his bread and butter, but he does it well.

Is he literally just a talented homage-machine who obsessively crafts entertaining movies? Are they just high quality pop-corn flicks?

I have people that swear by it, but couldn't get past the second episode. I swear I must be watching a different show than what other's have.

Somebody's epistemology is limited by the confines of capitalist realism and is too insecure to move beyond that box.

Doesn't mean they didn't ruin her.

Zaheer was cool, but they gave him one line that invalidated his whole ideology. His anarchism is worse than ancap, it's "everyone look out for themselves."

They lowkey ruined Toph. She literally had a speech where she said Amon and Zaheer took "equality and freedom too far" and that's why they were bad. Also she went from blind bandit "let's break some rules" to queen of the cops.

Yes, because the PC is a superior gaming device.
