cruel intentions is a movie that could not be made today, neither could it get a remake unless they rewrote the part where the protagonist is a literal rapist 😶

Hot take but Corey Dorris listing Will Ferrell in Elf as the holiday thing that freaks him out in his Grunch cast interview is so valid actually. It may be the two of us against the whole entire world, Mr. Dorris, but I got your back.

When Renfield fell back on his bed in his new apartment smiling to himself with his sharp little teeth, he looked so darn cute and adorable I just wanted to kiss him.

just saw a post that was like “what’s everyone’s comfort media” except i misread it as “discomfort media”, so now I’ve got a question for everybody: what’s your discomfort media? as in, media that you see and instantly feel the exact opposite of comforted by?

So I recently went on the Indiana Jones wiki to learn more about Satipo since I'm drafting a fic and first off...I must say I love the picture that they use for his page:
But then I scrolled down to the Behind-the-Scenes section and I’m just like wtf?!
I’m glad he was a trooper though and didn’t just remain in British theatre. I would not like to live in a world where he didn’t grace American television and film. (Although I love his British work too.)
Still, I don’t blame him for being scared. I would not be down for that either. I’m not a huge fan of spiders. The only spider I like is Spiderman. (Okay, I’ll see my way out.)

Okay, so now people are going from "The jedi never did anything wrong ever and are perfect and flawless and made zero mistakes and literally everything was Palpatine's fault even when there were moments he was clearly speed-chess-ing to account for the unexpected," a kinda dumb but not unreasonable take, to "Everything is Anakin's fault and he never had the potential to be better and we're just gonna ignore his slave upbringing and Palpatine's influence and just decide he was always the worst person alive and his redemption at the end-" (which I will admit was kinda small in comparison to his crimes, but also was still the centerpiece of the movies that are the centerpiece of the franchise) "-does not matter at all, fuck that guy, and also the Jedi are still 100% perfect btw". And I do not like that.

I really don't wanna get into the weeds here, but there's something about this that really doesn't sit right with me. I will happily call Kylo Ren a neo-nazi school shooter all day, because his awfulness was established and reinforced as his own choice, (no matter what RoS may retroactively claim) and while I could understand the argument for Palpatine being to blame for literally everything in the Prequels, (he is the big bad for a reason, after all) and I won't deny that Darth-youngling-slayer-Vader isn't even remotely close to innocent either; idunno, it still feels off.
There's just, this weird undercurrent of pushing the blame, or the idea the Jedi may have been even the teensiest tiniest bit less than perfect, or provided any ammunition for Palpatine to use against them, off to anyone and everyone else. And not only does it feel divorced from the actual subtext or even text of the Prequel Trilogy, the context of all the different factors that led to Anakin becoming Vader, (some of which he was responsible for, some of which he was not) or the ending of RotJ; but it also just feels increasingly bizarre outside of that. Like y'all are projecting onto the Jedi so hard that anything said against them feels like a personal attack, and the response is to refuse all responsibility on their behalf. And pardon the pun, but that feels very irresponsible when taking into account the political aspect of some of what the prequels were trying to say about complacence in the face of rising fascism.
I can sorta get why people would be like this, I have heard horror stories about Karen Traviss's Jedi-bashing nonsense, but this is going too far in the other direction at this point. I can also understand how RoS dropping the ball with TLJ's setup could aid in this, since I think TLJ's overall point that the Jedi are still good, but do severely need to evolve and change, was undercut by JJ's own blind worship. But that doesn't make the point any less valid at the end of the day, you're just missing it completely.
