                  You’re aight if you don’t click the disambiguation link

                  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pay_it_forward

                  I think we can keep Pay It Forward, I don’t think I knew it was a film much less an abuser-starring film.

                  The concept is old, but the particular phrase may have been coined by Lily Hardy Hammond in her 1916 book In the Garden of Delight. Robert Heinlein’s 1951 novel Between Planets helped popularize the phrase.

            A movie I refuse to ever watch again but still.

            Oh, I’m not the only one who can’t watch Eternal Sunshine again? Used to be one of my favorite films…

            Crazy how things can be tied so strongly to memories… Particularly when it’s a poignant piece of art that is far too relatable. Charlie Kaufman is a genius.

                I’ve watched it countless times… Like I said, used to be a favorite. Then my brain decided to attach it to the memory of someone that I miss dearly…

                “The act of killing” plays that role for me. The most amazing movie I have ever watched, but I’ve just been able to watch it a handful of times. Haven’t gathered the courage to watch the follow up, “The look of silence” yet.

      I feel like he is getting a bad rap here. I mean, he had a gender change to convincingly play female characters in Juno, Inception, and Hard Candy, among others.

      Talk about a method actor, let’s see Christain Bale do that…

      What we need to do is to invent a new racial group. Let’s invent a new ethnic/racial group from whole cloth, one that no living human could be mistaken for. Then, we spread all sorts of viscous propaganda against that made-up group. We’ll get everyone to project all their insecurities and racism onto this one group that doesn’t actually exist. We’ll create deepfakes of them committing crimes. We’ll have politicians lie about them invading the country and stealing resources. We’ll declare them a secret hidden menace against the whole civilized world. We can all just hate on the imaginary people, and no real people need suffer from racism.

      We’ll solve racism…with racism! /s

    The casting for this movie is a disaster in general. Zendaya can’t act for shit unless she’s playing a deeply sarcastic character who rolls their eyes every 40 seconds. She was astonishingly bad in Dune.

      I now am a believer in the many worlds hypothesis. Clearly we have seen very different movies.

      I loved her in Dune. She made the character very believable.

        She’s the only character I completely disliked the casting for. She is supposed to be strong, threatening, and brilliant. In the first movie she sort of is, but she is a wimpy gossip in the second movie. If I remember correctly Paul is afraid of her through the first book (2 movies), that barely translated into the movies.

          Okay so cut me some slack because it’s been a few years since I read it (despite it being my favorite book) but it seemed like she was tougher and more independent in the movie than what I remember from the book

            Yeah that sounds right to me as well. At least if we’re talking about the first book, she barely had a personality at all. Hell, I liked the book enough to read it multiple times, but sometimes I don’t know how Herbert wrote 400 pages and only managed to flesh out like 5 characters.

        Fair enough. The casting of those movies made them hard for me to enjoy. Chalamet is almost as irritating lol.

          We need a gaunt white man! Cillian Murphy isn’t available? Cast Chalamet! They don’t need to be talented for this role anyways.

            I just hate it when there is a hype around an actor so they just get cast in everything. I guess it makes sense financially. Art under capitalism and all that.
            I just can’t help but automatically dislike those hyped actors. Zendaya and Chalamet are on top of that list. The stole Dune from me.

              I think they wrote the new dune well enough for their characters to work as basically cardboard cutouts. But Austin Butler stole the whole show with his performance. I’m hoping they cast better for children of.

      She gives Disney Channel Original Movie energy in everything she’s in. Not a good fit for Dune or Odyssey.

      There are so many other great picks though. It’s an ensemble story with several arcs where few characters actually stick around for the entire run. If you don’t like an actor, there’s like a 90% chance they won’t be a factor for very long, especially Zendaya who’s likely one of the many characters they meet along the way.

    oh weird, I’m somewhat opposite – not a fan of the person themselves and the fame circle surrounding them, but I think they’re a decent actor with a good sense of subtlety and pathos.

    Same with Tom Cruise. Could not give a shit about the person IRL, but very good actor.

    I didn’t like his book, either. He comes off as weird, like red flags weird. If you want a gripping memoir by a trans person, I suggest README.TXT by Chelsea Manning, great book.

    I have to agree here. He’s like a less charismatic Keanu Reeves. There’s no nostalgia there either for great movies of the past. Just terrible.

    Hate someone for being a bad actor or a bad person but don’t attack based on gender identity. That isn’t attacking them, it’s marginalizing many many innocent people, and it makes them a victim.

    i don’t have anything to say about the movie since i have no idea what it’s about.

    but i will say, i SO want elliot to do another series of gaycation because i loved it so much and it’d be great to revisit or plan out more places (except sadly it might be even more dangerous with the increase in homophobia around the world :()
