“You can sorta understand a censor getting upset about your reaction to a movie you very much liked, or very much did not like, right. This movie was neither, but both my review, and literally the fact that I even watched it, were tampered with, quite frankly. Not even just the public review page, bu” read more

Ironic Mysterious Censoring (of Reviews)

“—I have an emotional response to a movie about rape being covered up. —Rape? People censoring rape? You don’t want to hand in a la-di-da doesn’t matter response to something like that? Down the Memory Hole. (walks away, whistling).

It’s like…. Wow…. Surely it isn’t rape ” read more

“Wow. Talk about defending the liars, right.

“Everything just fits together so perfectly; it always makes me so happy.

But yeah: Chris Sanders is a middle-piss quality director, but I figured I’d give him that third movie to watch like I always do, now: and also, I have a personal history reason for watching, right. I had my broth” read more

This will probably be a lot of fun, right. Who says that we shouldn’t tell twelve-year-old white boys, and people who are twelve year old white boys at heart, that they aren’t far more important than they actually are, right?
