Even to the most well meaning, progressive of adults who wish to be parents, you have to be aware of the power imbalance between you as adults and your children. I don't know how to navigate that dynamic completely, but I know remembering that they're their own persons first and foremost is crucial.

Oh yeah, I heard he later had to go to that guy's hometown and apologize. When you're dealing with actual history, especially tragedy, straddling the line between accuracy and telling a story can become perilous.

If you want an even messier example, take Todd Haynes' Karen Carpenter student film.

Two things:

1. I wonder Abed would've thought about Cabin in the Woods, considering it came out during Community's run?

2. Blumineck reminds me of another great video from YouTuber Ahoy, more a broad sweep on the history of the Bow & Arrow and its culture & video games:

Trump doesn't understand euphemisms (nor pronounce it), so he's essentially ripping the mask off showing the "logic" of:

- Voters of color pick Democrats.
- White voters pick Republicans.
"MOAR WHITE DISTRICTS AND VOTERS NAOW!!!" - Trump

The left is made up of Theatre Kids, Band Kids, "Kewl" Kids, and niche dorks. Meanwhile the Right has Jocks with severe anger management issues, creeps who spy in the girls' locker room, drug addicts, and trench coat wearing "loners" who tell their buddy not to show up at school tomorrow.

I still love this Reddit post of Victoria 3 (another Paradox game) where the original user's "confused" how having one fascist leader in his government leads to widespread fascism and the commenters below tearing him a new one, because what did you expect!?:

"Unless you understand people, you're gonna get tripped up by people, time and time again."

That's been part of my personal philosophy these last few years, and one thing you understand about people, is that a lot of people don't understand things in general! They do not know what they are doing!

Culturally, they're like the 2nd largest film industry in terms of production, just behind Bollywood and ahead of Hollywood. In fact, Nollywood has received criticism from its neighbors for its oversized output shaping outside perception of the whole continent. The "Nigerianisation of Africa".

And given how Europe's acting, these are the "Vacuum" years where there's no true polar or bi polar nation states steadily dictating international socio-economic policy. It's why everything's a fucking mess. It's likely things will go back to just the US and China when both get over the crazies.

Honor Among Thieves is literally an adaptation of a campaign among a group of friends (I feel like they just had a campaign with the cast, and then just storyboarded & scripted it out after).

And the story is a simple action-comedy heist romp. The lore is simply the frosting to the cake they baked.

I know it's not 1:1 adaptation, but this is why DnD: Honor Among Thieves is perhaps so far the best film adaptation of a game. Because the goal isn't about adapting the lore or backstory of game to film, it's adapting the experience of playing said game vicariously through cinema. That's the goal!

Obviously the AIs are having their Spiral mass today, and the Supreme Court ruled that employers must let employees observe their respective holy days.

First comes worm, then comes affair,
Then comes baby coffins as a result of measles outbreaks because the Kennedy you sanewashed is now in charge of America's health and he's pursuing a eugenicist agenda YOU [REDACTED] [REDACTED] [REDACTED]!

. . . I might be a little upset about this shit show.

Trump's gonna mistake him for a Mexican when he rambles between "sleepy/crooked Joe Biden" and illegal immigration, and the world's gonna cringe itself up its own asshole.

Hell, Indeed's affected too. Not great for anyone in the US looking for work in what looks to be another recession coming. 😬

I know Clint Eastwood did an Iwo Jima diptych with Flags of Our Fathers & Letters from Iwo Jima. Both I hear are good, though Letters is the more critically acclaimed of the two.

On a more personal recommendation, my late Mom used to enjoy the gritty King Arthur (2004) set in Roman Britain.

Hmm, the masses got pretty pissed at the decline of the traditional Western (for obvious reasons) and went seeking their "Cowboys vs Injuns", and "Explorers vs Savages" elsewhere.

(This is just me bullshitting, yet sci-fi and fantasy has been used as "safe spaces" for questionable content. 😬)

Some people who don't "get it", likely will never, and that shouldn't be the end of the world for you. Some might come around, but that's dependent on them choosing, not on you spending all your time chasing them. Just keep moving on.

(Didn't expect to sound like a therapist to an industry.)

I've come to find that question based in insecurity. It's "Will Dad [Roger Ebert] finally accept me and love me for who I am?" Which, sorry pal, he never cared for you to begin with. And any "reason" he gives is really more of an excuse.

Which . . . sucks, but you learn to grow and move on.

That or both the Napoleonic Wars & Franco governments REALLY fucked them up both physically and spiritually!
