Joe Biden wins New Hampshire primary despite not being on ballot

Jump

  • I'd have loved Bernie to be in the general... ever, but it just isn't what happened and pretending it was some conspiracy just isn't healthy. The candidate you're in love with doesn't always resonate with everyone else, and that's okay.

    • Oklahoma proposal would make watching porn a felony, ban sexting outside marriage

  • That sounds reasonable and so it's probably not even remotely close to what actually happens.

    • Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, who was once seen as the biggest threat to Trump's 2024 White House bid, is suspending his presidential campaign

  • Over time I see less and less of the need to be like "lol I don't like who I'm voting for, but I feel like I have to." I see absolutely no regret in 1) voting against obviously they worst thing ever and 2) voting for someone who seems to a least try to do things that aren't horrible and are generally pretty good? They only time you're going to agree with everything a candidate says or does you'd be on the ballot yourself. Even then it's probably healthy to disagree with yourself a bit.

    • [FFVII] The Marvels Director Used Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children as a Reference When Pitching

  • “It's just an amazing, amazing movie, and has really great fight scenes and has a really great ending sequence with the main character being thrown into the sky by all the other characters,” she explained.

    ...I love FFVII. It is one of my very favorite things. But this is not a good sign. Cloud being nonsensically hurled into the air is one of the weakest sequences in that movie. It's cute just for how bad it is. Certainly not what you want your real movie to be like.

    • I just watched Barbie, What did you guys think of the movie?

    Jump

  • I thought the pacing of things was fine and didn't really feel like too many scenes overstayed their welcome. The 2001 opener I thought was pretty great. A few things did stick out a bit for me, though.

    1. The fantastical version of reality. A spelled-out theme of the movie is how hard it is being a woman, which Mom-lady really lays out for the Barbies. It makes some sense because the Barbies clearly don't know what real is like. The trouble is they say it instead of showing it. We don't see Mom-lady having any particular problems specific to her being a woman in the movie's world. The audience is supposed to nod along approvingly because she's saying things that many real women feel, but she's also from some surreal version of Earth where people in gaudy cowboy outfits can wander into a school and talk to the kids and steal library books and they don't get tackled by security. We really needed some scenes with some biting misogyny to give that speech some impact.
    2. Pitting the Kens against each other seemed convoluted. Ultimately the solution to the crisis is... voter suppression? Really?
    3. The old film montage near the end seemed really gratuitous.
