Never shuts up about how the country has gone to hell, complaining about "the queers", etc, etc, etc.

The greatest spectator sport is curling 🥌. I'm not even joking.
I think you are missing the context of the film I used as an example. All the friction and the "comedy" in the film comes from the racism. From the start, it is the point. The taxi driver picks them up from the airport and asks the main character if he is from India. When he replies yes and asks if the driver if he's ever been there, his reply is no but he stopped in Turkey once. The when they arrive the soon to be mother-in-law assumes that the Indian boyfriend is the Taxi driver and the driver is the boyfriend. We are five minutes into the film at this point and it goes downhill from there.
That is just one easy to digest example using media. Our real life daily interactions with the staff from our European clients is a never ending source for more.
You misunderstand. I don't mean that it was a remake, just that it was the same concept. I think the term is "trope".
The fact that the Norwegian film is based on a true story just makes it all so much worse.
Never forget the initial teaser reveal. shudder
I am far more worried by the constant attacks by white Christian nationalist and adjacent, as well as never-ending stream of school shooters, but sure let's make IS aligned attacks the sole focus again. Anything to keep America from looking inward and actually helping its own people who are struggling to cope and getting racialized radicalized (stupid autocorrect).
European racism is out of control to the point of cringe. The new world cannot hold a candle to you.
Here is a quick example. Netflix released a Norwegian movie called "Christmas as Usual" (translated). It essentially takes the concept of the American 1967 film "Guess Who's Coming To Dinner", moves it to Norway and gives it a holiday twist. According to Netflix, this 2023 film was in the Top 10 in thirty countries. How? How is a movie concept from America's peak civil rights battles era working for you in 2023?
My wife is European and my largest clients are European with European staff and the abundance of casual racism is hard for myself and my staff to handle. Don't get me started on my family in-law.
EDIT: Europeans were definitely not ready to hear this one. LOL
Back when I used to work for others, I would always remove the disk drive and replace it with an identical uet fresh out of the box one and a fresh Windows install. A few hundred dollars and a little work is a small price to pay.
For me: The JJ Abrams Star Trek movies, by far the best ST stuff ever made, I couldn't take seriously the original universe with the dated effects and stiff acting, same goes for NG... These movies did ST actually great looking and much more believable, not just the effects.
Just kidding... but not really.
Aaaaahhhhh!!! Aaaaaahhhh!!! Ahhhh...ooh, camera. strike a pose Ahhhhh!!! Aaaaahhhhh!!!
She a professional, and a professional does not allow their personal feelings to ruin a photoshoot.
Some folk prefer to only eat the filling.
This is not a Harris thing. Super PACs are all scams one way or another. This is by design.
yes
That pool is a giant toilet. Just saying.
