Reply to Is Eyes Wide Shut by Stanley Kubrick an accurate portrayal of common male and female sex fantasies? by Gloomy-Pineapple1729

I don't think you can generalize about any single fantasy that most people have. Sexuality is extremely diverse. People fantastize about all different things, and sexual preferences are very individual.

I also don't think it's particularly helpful to try to break it down along gender lines, either. Men, women, and everyone else all fantasize about all different things.

Reply to Movies about the fashion industry? by jigtwazlo

The Devil Wears Prada

Zoolander

Cruella

>It's compelling how the industry itself is a front. The beautiful people simultaneously being the most flawed, battling demons or just being plain awful.

That's pretty judgmental and generalizing. Industry and status doesn't make someone vile or not, only the merit of their individual character.

>Starting with no control over bankable IP and no catalog of decades worth of classic content feels like it makes competing anytime soon impossible.

You know what solves that problem? Billions.

(in all seriousness, you bring up a great point. You'd need a huge amount of money and the IP. Without both, this isn't working.)

Reply to comment by MarcusXL in The Godfather movies are so relaxing to watch. by AndyKaufmanSentMe

Ah yes, because having a different style of taste immediately means I am an uncultured manchild.

Are you even capable of respecting anyone other than clones of yourself? You're one of the most self-righteous presumptuous cunts I have made the mistake of arguing with in some time.

Interesting you call other people out as childish when you literally cannot give some sort of "wisdom" without it being smothered in your superiority complex.

Fair, 30 minutes is typically not enough time to get a feel for something, or perhaps I should have said "30 minutes after the title sequence".

I do understand that it IS highly regarded, but I do not understand WHY... Choosing what words mean to support your argument has drawbacks.

I also never said I didn't like the movie, I said I don't understand it. I like the movie just fine. See another thing you're intentionally ignoring is that it's so ingrained in cultural saturation that pieces of it get picked up on here and there.. I'm over 30 years old, people have talked about this movie my whole life. I know who 'Fredo is and what he does...

So even having a somewhat obscured "by proxy" knowledge of this movie, it didn't help. I often wonder if that's more reason why I can't get into it than not, but it's whatever. I don't think people are stupid for liking it, I just don't get their perspective. Maybe give me some of that instead of being a petty bully about it.
