If this man truly didn’t believe in God, he wouldn’t feel the sadness he mentions. It would simply be another fact of life. Other than that incongrucency, it’s an interesting little documentary.

Lets agree to disagree, your opinion is based on watching 40 minutes of something 3hrs and 27 minutes.

nowt 2 points 3 years ago*. (Contains Spoilers)

No, my opinion is from reading a fifth of the -text- of it and being able to reason well. As tho it might magically improve at sentence 2611, word 32,255, tho? Sure, buddy.

It’s Q-level drivel, derivative af. It’s like the poor man’s Protocols of the Elder’s of Zion broke-brain applied to more than just Zion. Gosh, never seen that done before from any pulpit.

Needs more Knights Templar.

[and just for your personal mind-improved future reference—

“‘I’m entitled to my opinion’ or ‘I have a right to my opinion’ is a logical fallacy in which a person discredits any opposition by claiming that they are entitled to their opinion. The statement exemplifies a red herring or thought-terminating cliché. The logical fallacy is sometimes presented as “Let’s agree to disagree”. Whether one has a particular entitlement or right is irrelevant to whether one’s assertion is true or false. Where an objection to a belief is made, the assertion of the right to an opinion side-steps the usual steps of discourse of either asserting a justification of that belief, or an argument against the validity of the objection. Such an assertion, however, can also be an assertion of one’s own freedom or of a refusal to participate in the system of logic at hand.[1][2][3]”

I was aware you hadn’t watched it, you commented within minutes of it being uploaded.

nowt 1 points 3 years ago*. (Contains Spoilers)

Scanned about a fifth of it, with some jumping thru for random sampling. Not much high school gym teacher Conolly was adding to the historical record except for triggering paranoids with a mixtape of the sui generis 20th c. white supremacist and Ameri-nationalist faves set to audiovisual sensory flood, which -reading- the script limits, laying bare that it’s essentially a delusional blogpost by some near-subliterate [despite his having taught high school English in England for some scant years [that must’ve gone well]].

One doesn’t really have to edge upon a dildo of petrified Viking poo for three and half hours to kinda immediately grasp that it’s not worth digesting. But whatever. ‘Poetry’ was being kind.

You Should Have Left (2020)
DemandingFemale 7 points 3 years ago.

The synopsis is slightly incorrect, although it does involve a house in Wales.

A former banker, his actress wife, and their daughter book a vacation at an isolated modern home in the Welsh countryside where nothing is quite as it seems.

As systemsoundbar has already said, it pulls very strongly from other sources, including The House of Leaves, and a Creepypasta short story: The Dionaea House. It brings nothing new, or exciting, or particularly scary to either the mystery or horror genre. IMDb ratings have reduced to 5.4, which is about right.

nowt 3 points 3 years ago*. (Contains Spoilers)

Stick with Harvard’s Berkman Klein Center’s ‘Partisanship, Propaganda, and Disinformation: Online Media and the 2016 U.S. Presidential Election’ [p. 118] for the relevant summary of why ‘Clinton Cash’ is more legerdemain farrago than anything: “Emails reveal that donors sought access, but Clinton aides refused them when they deemed the requests inappropriate.”

Also, rather brilliant visuals of the mediasphere in that report.

Cops (1989)

Dan Taberski’s ‘Running from Cops’ pretty much encapsulated all 32 seasons. But so did the 2004 Old Dominion and Prosise-Johnson studies, as well as Kathleen Curry’s “Mediating COPS: An analysis of viewer reaction to reality TV,” in Journal of Criminal Justice and Popular Culture.

I suppose if you see no interest or value in studying women, men, or human sexuality, that’s cool. You can always be one of those people that spends decades alone in the desert studying ant colonies or something. Or maybe gender studies as a broad topic is integral and vital to understanding how human society operates. Whichever. Do you.

Your race, in its poverty, has unquestionably one really effective weapon—laughter. Power, Money, Persuasion, Supplication, Persecution—these can lift at a colossal humbug,—push it a little—crowd it a little—weaken it a little, century by century: but only Laughter can blow it to rags and atoms at a blast. Against the assault of Laughter nothing can stand. —Twain, “The Chronicle of Young Satan”

Yesyes. How dare anyone be informed as to the quality of this via the quality of other productions [proving an ouvre of paranoia and bigotry] from the same source. And functional literacy and a bit of intellectual honesty -is- hard. QED and all that.

No, what ‘we’ got was ‘lunatic’ and ‘This is just his latest effort to dupe his audience.’ Don’t know what world those would -not- read as honest opinion, contextualized by quoted material. Ain’t this one.

Other docs he’s made, also subpar. The pro-Birtherism one, more Alex Jones lunacy and James O’Keefe dishonesty.

You ‘copied and pasted’ that from a search engine with minor edits, here: “Joel Gilbert is an American filmmaker, musician, and conspiracy theorist. Gilbert’s political films advance right-wing conspiracy theories. He has been a frequent guest on InfoWars. Gilbert produced several films on Bob Dylan.Wikipedia”
I’d much rather had your honest opinion of the film, that’s why I read these.

So the organisation making millions from it said it was written soley by her in 43/44 surprise surprise, funnily the same said organisation is now saying that it was co-wrote by her father so they can copywrite it for another 30 years. tin foil hats are only needed by people who believe a diary can be written with a ball point pen only available 6 years after her death

Furtive appeal to wealth after given two reputable sources [which themselves cite multiple scientific and forensic sources [documentation is such an infuriating anti-intellect conspiracy, huh]] and you’re on the net. Wundebar.

Anne Frank Remembered (1995)

Google books result for The Phenomenon of Anne Frank p. 67 deals with the weak Der Spiegel article enough to point one to the BKA sloppiness; annefrank [dot] org/en/anne-frank/go-in-depth/authenticity-diary-anne-frank/ explains that BKA sloppiness in fuller detail, so: No, it did not reveal ‘the manuscript could not have been written before 1951.’

Read the script first, of which exist gems such as—

Bulked-out Aryan has a handgun in one hand, detonator in the
other. Eyes wide. Standoff. The Old Woman in house dress
is SCREAMING… Her retarded Son sees Tubbs/Gina as a threat
to his mother…grabs butcher knife…rushes forward during…

[hope the son is a CGI’d De Niro/Pacino hybrid]

And this—

It’s as if no one had ever lived there. A few papers flutter
in the breeze from the light wind entering through the open
doorways. White papers against white marble against white
walls. A profound statement of nobody is home.

[which I’m pretty sure sums up this movie as only an innumerate gotten recursively lucky in a head trauma fugue state could]

Oh lordy, yet another movie to celebrate the Patriarchy. What ever will we do?! It’s as if the atmosphere, acting, or direction of this movie can be completely overlooked, because of our own political bullsh*t. Why judge this movie on it’s own merit, when we can do so with our own bias? The funny thing is, Grace was not a weak character from what I saw, so maybe the bias lies somewhere in you, and your own views on women being helpless.

nowt -1 points 4 years ago*. (Contains Spoilers)

Strawman, followed by plurium interrogationum based upon that strawman; then a definitional failing concerning how direction and acting were not addressed, with a bit of Bulverism; more Bulverism and another failing concerning definition, this one about what constitutes merit; and to this point you’ve managed to compose a dense circulus in demonstrando. The appeal to emotion [funny thing] followed by the psychologist’s fallacy with the end note return to yet more Bulverism, is like shit icing on a shitcake.

Might’ve been better to’ve said that horror lends itself to psychological torture as a genre, but alas: There wouldn’t’ve been as much excuse to publicly dismiss whatever projected hobgoblin made of wtf your understanding is of feminism with that. Better luck next.
