Movies Avengers: Endgame Trailer and Discussion Thread
Chris- replied to Pikachu's topic in The Performing Arts Centre
Just got back. That last scene, fellas. Ohhhhhh boy. And there is one other scene which is just going to blow your dicks off, it rules and is everything you wanted out of the MCU over the past however many years. -

On that note @sblfilms, if necessary, what is the optimal pee time frame? -
Again, I'm not suggesting it is insidious or hostile; obviously free college benefits the poor and working classes. However it (like climate change) is a priority driven by the educated class, and I don't see how that can be considered anything other than elitism. When your political movement is being led by an elite class (which, given national statistics, the college-or-more educated crowd certainly is), it is inherently elitist, no matter how much it looks out for those below it.

It's not disingenuous at all, because I'm not suggesting it is a hostile platform; it is hospitable to the working class. But the fact of the matter is that a plurality (if not majority) of the left is comprised of well-educated white people, and their priorities and actions reflect that. I don't know how you can call that anything other than elitism, no matter how benevolent it may be.

Television Game of Thrones - Season 8 - Starting April 14th
Chris- replied to TwinIon's topic in The Performing Arts Centre
My prediction: The episode ends with the Night King reaching Bran in the Weirwood; he then uses Bran as a medium to parlay with Jon and Dany, and explain that the White Walkers ultimate goal is to eliminate feudalism and the ruling class in Westeros. Jon and Dany are then split on whether or not to stand down. Think about it. The White Walkers were created out of the desperation of war, and the political system in Westeros does nothing but breed war. It would make perfect sense if their ultimate goal is to simply eliminate those institutions. There are also examples of them working with or otherwise ignoring common folk (e.g. Craster). -
Carbonated water or regular water? Because the former will help you feel more full.

You don't, and that's the point. I worked in the campus bookstore in college and movie adaptations always drove tremendous sales, regardless of the quality or content of the adaptation. Most people won't know or care that it is an 'alternative' conclusion, and those that do were the original books fans and thus were going to buy it anyways. -

There really is no difference for the purposes of this point, which is that behavior which may otherwise be ignored gets perceived as 'disruptive' simply because it's a child doing it (or otherwise gets overblown). I've watched a lot of Marvel and Star Wars and whatever films over the years, and I can't say I've ever witnessed a child do anything especially aggravating in a theater. -

And their parents are paying money too. Obviously there is something to be said about etiquette, but based on some of the rhetoric in this thread, I would be skeptical of how some of you define 'disruptive'. To wit, I'm part of a large craft beer group on Facebook, and one of the never ending arguments is about kids being at breweries. One day, someone made a post bemoaning the presence of unruly kids at the brewery they were currently at...Someone else who was at brewery then posted a (partially covered up) photo of the kids sitting peacefully at the table with their parents, and mentioned that outside of the type of laughter you'd expect out of a child, they had spent the rest of the time quietly coloring and keeping to themselves. -

Honestly, sounds like y'all kind of need to get over the fact that children exist and you will be forced to encounter them in public. Don't get me wrong, they annoy the hell out of me too, but you have no more of a right to a preferred theater experience than them or their parents. -
