Negative.
I am a meat popsicle.
It’s just so obviously a vacuformed plastic shell that doesn’t fit the actor that’s wearing it. Has no visual relation to any of the other armor styles in the film, despite supposedly being from the same culture, time period, and status level.
He looks like a futurized, Coppola’s Megalopolis interpretation of classical armor.
Almost like it’s exactly according to a document someone published years ago…
Man, you are just absolutely speedrunning a greatest hits of the worst takes on every subject you can think of, aren’t you?
It would be impressive if it wasn’t performative and pretty sad.
Oh my god.
You’re absolutely right. I don’t know why I’ve never seen it before. Steven Miller is Caillou.
…bald little shit.
By not acknowledging this gives them a well if I’m not human why should I try to be humane mentality.
You certainly seem to be connecting my opinion of them to their later inhumane mentality.
Are you seriously trying to say that by not acknowledging fascists humanity, it’s MY FAULT if they then act inhumanely?
Those are some convoluted hoops to jump through just to do some victim blaming.
If you side with fascists, and utterly forsake common moral decency, you are no longer worthy of having your humanity considered when society comes for you. Sorry, shouldn’t have voluntarily placed yourself in opposition to all moral and ethical standards.
The way Doug LaMalfa is remembered by the country at large was in no one’s hands except Doug LaMalfa’s.
If you don’t want people to celebrate when you die, you should probably try not being utterly morally bankrupt and siding with a fascist autocracy.
I try and never hope for another human being’s death. Fortunately, pieces of shit aren’t human.
Thank you!
I wish I could convey how much I went back and forth in processing on that damn grass. Take it out, leave it in, take some out, etc etc
Goebbels-lite needs a short drop and a sudden stop.
Beautiful!
Thank you!
All events that deserve and need support.
Have you ever been shelled? Or fired upon by a member of an enemy army who’s trying his level best to kill you?
I have. It’s not an experience I’m anxious to repeat. I think you’re drastically under-estimating the average person’s aversion to physical violence and the lengths the vast majority of people will go through to avoid ever being in proximity to it.
Successful rebellions start with demonstrations and build. The escalation of protest and response is necessary to build the kind of commitment a sustainable campaign of violence will require. You can’t just conjure a willingness to run into gunfire for people who haven’t been trained to do so, and thinking that you can just jump past the slow brewing of rage you need in the general population is idealist at best and naive at worst.
On the one hand, you’re correct on all counts.
On the other, you’re the only person in this entire discussion framing things in terms of open revolt. Collective action is NOT that, and presupposing the necessity of armed conflict could needlessly get innocents killed.
I’d much rather show up for a protest and have to deal with tear gas than show up expecting to assault the city and give them an excuse to meet us with tanks instead.
Edit - not to mention that a wave of people stripping the country bare of supplies and equipment as they move towards the capitol is going to do absolute wonders for the public perception of any rebellion. You’ll have Mr and Mrs Public screaming for it to be put down, hard.
Who provides shelter to a million people converging on a city?
Do you know what winters in the US are like? How do you keep those people warm enough to continue protesting in 10° (-12°C) weather? You can’t just say “people will have to figure that out for themselves”, people will literally freeze to death if you do that.
A cold winter was instrumental in defeating the Nazis in Russia, wasn’t it? Everyday civilians are not trained soldiers, are not accustomed to spending long periods in freezing cold, and for the most part don’t own the proper equipment that would even make such a thing possible.
Are you going to equip them? Feed them?
These things don’t just come together overnight or without a huge amount of planning and logistics. The fact that you think it’s as easy as “driving to the capitol and staying there” just goes to show how little you’ve actually thought about this.
Edit - just for context, there are roughly 115,000 hotel rooms in the DC Metro Area. Even with illegal double occupancy, that’s 800,000 people living on the streets, underequipped, in winter.
Next nationwide 50501 protest is a national walk-out on Jan 20th.
We’ll see you there, right?

If only there was an appropriately named “Big Party” happening somewhere important to the country sometime this year…
Next nationwide 50501 protest is Jan 20th.
I have no doubt that, in addition to the spontaneous protests on Saturday, there are many more demonstrations whose planning has been kicked into high gear by the events of this weekend.
I read an interview with Nolan where he said that because he’s red / green colorblind, he deliberately color grades his films to desaturate those colors and make the final result more accurate to what he sees.
Doesn’t change the fact that bronze/ heavily pigmented ancient Greece is a horrible choice for such a treatment, but still interesting why he does it.
