    Well if you don't like movies, I don't suggest you see a movie.

    I don't know why there isn't an "all movies are bad" thread, but creating one would just be pandering to their significance, and I already spend most of my time doing that.

    hmm, i don't know what the issue is with the app on my tv then. it let me watch like two thirds of the first episode, but now every time i try to watch anything it just freezes. maybe i will try reinstalling it.

    It is a measure of how many people saw it, thus it's a relevant metric.

    Phoenix was great but on the whole it wasn't that good. A Scorsese fanfic with a clown.

    The New Yorker’s Anthony Lane has the most trenchant analysis of Joker: there is no truly coherent underlying message because it is controversy as a deliberate marketing strategy. Quite appropriately for this thread, he drew parallels to Trump’s tendency to try and generate dumb controversies rather than work on substantive policy.

    Let’s move on from a movie about murdering people then, shall we?

    Yes, let's move on to a country that murders people in real life on a much greater scale.

    Hope nobody holds it against me when I'm skeptical of anything Wocky says that's dismissing of class consciousness or anti-capitalist works.

    I happen to like movies with political commentary. I loved Elysium as well.

    However, I don’t watch movies to form my political opinions, I look for movies that validate my political opinions. :p

    Bernie's rally this Saturday in Queens. Good chances AOC will be there.

    I like your optimism but I don't think AOC is gonna campaign for Bernie. Progressives don't want to look like they're campaigning for white men, regardless of policy, so she's gonna probably pick someone who is either a woman or non-white (or both). That's just how it is with progressives.

    She explicitly liked Bernie's tweet of the event, where he says "we'll have a special guest" ... The rally is in Queens....

    Of course, being there is not necessarily an endorsement, but I think there are very good chances that she will make a speech. I'd say 60% probability.

    Waiting for J-Rod or Starbob to swoop in and claim this makes them both sexist and racist. Lol.

    Oh, and Giuliani has officially given Hill Democrats notice he won’t comply with their subpoena. What a tough guy!

    Can't believe Bernie got John Travolta to show up in character as John Gotti.
