Ooooooh!!!! I'm definitely liking the look of these new Old Republic Black Series figures. While I have nothing against the new Disney canon (except for giving Admiral Ackbar a quick unsatisying death), I can't say I'm not nostalgic for the EU.
Sucks that they're Gamestop exclusives (which I don't thunk exists here in Australia) but I'll find one way or another to gwt these. EDIT: Nuts! They're all ding-dong expensive on the aftermarket! I should've seen this coming to be honest, but it's still frustrating. Shipping from the U.S. is shockingly expensive! I had to give up buying third party Transformers fron TFsource because of it... There goes my hopes for a piece of childhood nostalgia. Last edited by gashatfreak; 09-10-2020 at 07:08 PM.. |

With the reviews dropping about "Cuties" and "Cancel Netflix" trending on Twitter, I cannot help but feel utterly disgusted and defeated by an industry I once admired and dreamt to be a part of someday. So many in the media are defending it and the trends are heading towards a dangerous direction. I don't know if I can in good conscious view any new content coming out of Hollywood. This is not a political statement. This is genuine concern about the direction our society is heading, particularly in the entertainment field.

I refuse to watch it but I’ve have listened to commentators who have seen it, and how they describe it absolutely disgusts me. This outright evil content that should be burned.

Trust me, there's definitely a lot of trash coming out of Hollywood these days. And while I am tempted to say that film quality havs been in decline in recent years, the reality is that there have been plenty of trash films that have come out since the bginning, it's just that social media has allowed people around the world to emphasise and critique them more.
What's happening in Cuties has been made into a film before and frankly, I don't know what that says about society nor do I wish to know. |

The thing with Cuties is that it's AGAINST sexualizing children as seen with the original film, but Netflix's marketing glorifies it. Very Cool of Netflix to take a movie about a woman's personal experience about an issue prevelant in our culture warning against it and to fucking end her career y marketing it by gloriying the exact shit it's against like how Fallout went from being against nuclear warfare to "wow nukes are cool"

Yurp. Our 4 seasons are: Dry/scorch/worse than summer I assume, Raining (closest one you'll get for a 'winter'), durian season, and lastly the haze season because some place just keep burning their plantations and the winds pushes it to our area and it's hazy for like a month to three.

This logic is like making a porno about why porn is bad. It defeats the purpose doesn't it? https://summit.news/2020/09/10/imdb-...BBiN-0668rdIog |

So one has to hold casting involving hundreds of twerking pre-teens and film closeups of underage private areas in order to preach against sexualizing of children? Not to mention that those who criticize the film has been called everything from Anti-Semitic by various outlets and Twitter trolls to "those afraid of child sexuality" by the Telegraph. Plus scenes from the film have been legally determined as cp and pedo. Link below.'

You DO realize you're linking articles written by Paul Watson Jones, a rightwing journalist who's been caught fabricating evidence, lacking sources, deliberately spreading misinformation and more while having proudly worked with conspiracy theorists to sell drugs, right? Because again, the movie does not promote that at all, Netflix is, especially as the rightfully controversial poster wasn't made for the movie, which came out in France 8 months ago

The movie's still not taken down so evidentally Paul "Estrogen will feminize you but my Brain Force pills need estrogen because otherwise the pills would be too strong" Watson isn't actually reporting on stuff factually and probably looking at a review instead of the law like the dishonest liar he's always been
