Also, they’re clearly on a lake

we’ll see what Starmer does. So far his gestures have sounded promising, but you never know

Roving gangs of suburban kids on bikes

or get promoted for having that wild / surrealist energy that the CEO has been looking for all along for some reason

I’m trying to work what kind of film genre that would be.

Probably a mix between 1950s film noir (read: well-dressed white men in fedoras slapping hysterical dames) and 1970s blaxploitation film (read: well-dressed black pimps in capes slapping back-talking street workers).

The fusion of tropes probably means that the women depicted are either given cartoonish-level plot armour to endure the abuse, or, more darkly, never make it past the first scene.

In a perfect world, where all criminals white or blue are brought to justice under the same hammer, you would have a point and my heart.

But the world is not just; you know that, I know that, they know that.

The people who claw their way to those positions, even if not seeing the lion’s share, should check their alignment. This is a nice check.

come on man, we’re all huge Lucas fans, I know Temple of Doom when I see it

any good reading resources on this?

Can you expand a bit? My understanding of boomer humour is that it’s sexist or racist, but I’m not seeing it here

So there’s real age/mindset-based tension in the trek community over series and/or generational themes - that a joke about nudity is a huge red flag?

your comment

wait, is this a joke now?

You lose that buff two weeks after acclimitizing to another country, and the perceived extra charisma is actually people nervously smiling around you to mask their limited english (half the language is just obscure idioms)

Is that the Bacardi Bat hanging upside down off a pirate Fez?

Is that a baby rat with a bird tail, perched on a branch?
