I can attest to this. My kids and nieces/nephews are all reaching high school and they are so chill compared to my generation. They’re not interested in booze, sex, drugs or being out all night. They’re happy at home gaming together online or coding or something. It’s good really, we were not risk averse enough
The first movie was historical fiction (if anything they toned down Commodus and his brutality in the movie) but once you do something like make the Emperor black, now it’s complete fiction. And it does matter, otherwise we wouldn’t have issues with white actors playing roles that should go to people of color.
It’s too jarring to my historian heart I think. Like a white as fuck John Wayne playing Genghis Khan
My wife always brings it up. He’s one of those people who just does his own thing and doesn’t really care about anyone else’s plans or preferences, so that’s another reason I stopped going out with them. It could be a group of 10 and he wants Indian food but everyone else wants Mexican, so he compromises by having us all go to the Indian place… Where he can order his food in an Indian accent to the Indian waiter
Sadly I’m Canadian. And we’re as fucked as the u.s when it comes to worker rights. Thankfully I’m in a union now
I tell my wife she doesn’t have to but she hates how it feels. And for whatever reason she feels more confident and sexy that way. It had nothing to do with me. I’m not gonna dissect what role society has in how she landed on her preference, I’m just gonna respect her preference.
Remember how after 9/11 Republicans wanted every Arab and Muslim dead? Did these Arabs forget that?
America is the stupidest damn place that has ever existed
It may surprise you but many women actually like having smooth shaved legs. Just like some men like to be clean cut. It’s weird that leg shaving is such an issue cause I never saw it as being about men, it’s just a personal preference women have
My doctor told me the best way to heal my back was to take a few weeks off work. She didn’t understand why I was laughing my ass off, till I reminded her that most people don’t get paid time off. Doctors kinda live on the moon in terms of what the rest of us can get
It will be a Duke Nukem forever situation at this point. It will never live up and it’ll flop
I stopped going to dinner with my wife and her father when he’s in town. We will go to a restaurant and he’ll pull out his laptop and phone and start working, while vaguely listening to what we’re saying
What’s with Hollywood making a character black even if it makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. A black Roman Emperor? Really? The Romans were not that progressive. It feels so forced.
It’s like the producers heard emperor Macrinus was from Africa and they’re like “oh he was black!” No he was a Roman provincial born in Africa. He was not of African descent. It reminds me of that Cleopatra documentary. A complete ignorance of northern Africa and it’s ethnic populations, considering to this day northern Africans are not ethnically black.
Why not just make a movie about George Washington and hire Morgan Freeman?
Anyways, it’s weird when Hollywood race swaps. And as someone who loves roman history, the whole thing is really distracting.
The rest of the word is gonna be part of the Chapet 2 expansion of my comment. There will be no third.
The rabid insanity towards such a non offensive post… You ok guy?
It’s a post about a politician…

Still holds up. If you told Americans they could have healthcare forever but they’d have to give up football for 1 year, they’d riot. The NFL alone generates like $40 billion in revenue, add college, and all other football tiers, merchandise, etc. It’s gotta be a hundreds of billions dollar industry
I used to work at a book store at the time it released, it was very popular. You expect a stage play to be more upbeat I guess, but basing the movie on the play based on the book, sounds like a complete miss
It’s crazy that a movie like this can cost more than the price of the entire Lord of the rings trilogy
I wish I could get a VR game where I play with my control as normal, but just use the VR headset to look around.
