If you need to B*tch about something... this is the place
Time

Sex and the City is a show for women, it’s written for them. Men aren’t gonna think its as good as women do, because they’re not who the show’s for. So they rate the show lower. It isn’t an intentional act of sabotage, men don’t gather at secret meetings and talk about how they’re gonna rate shows poorly to demean women or some shit. And it’s not what I think yhwx was implying, that they hate it because the cast is female led. It’s just marketing. Comic books are marketed at men, so they include drawings of attractive women wearing provocative clothing. Things are marketed to specific groups, and the people outside those groups aren’t gonna be interested.

It is the case for a lot of people who may end up “gay” (however you want to define that) and for whatever reason engage in their activities out of rebellion, for fun, to be crazy, or maybe their whole world is just upside down. Some people get over that and thus “choose” to be straight. It happens and I’ve seen it happen, more than once.

I think that’s called being bisexual.

I think it’s funny when two people go at each other calling each other mad.

“Why are you so mad, dude, calm down.”

“I’m not mad, you’re obviously mad and projecting your madness onto me, just calm down dude.”

“Woah dude, calm down, no need to get so mad.”

Let me ask you an honest pair of questions. Yes, of course there will be follow-up, though it may be several days before I can spare a few minutes to return to this. Here they are:

Has religion contributed any evil to this world? Please cite examples, and be fair.

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

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

Has atheism contributed any evil to this world? Please cite examples, and be fair.

Not that I know of, but I assume you’re gonna refer to the Communist regime of Stalin. As far as I know, the actions of Stalin were not committed in the name of atheism, he did it because he wanted power. Stripping people’s religion from them was an effective demoralization tactic, so that’s what he did. And it’s not like communist Russia was a godless society, their god was the state. Bear in mind, I don’t know a whole lot about communist Russia.

I’m sure the movie will be fine, I just think it’s a cheesy line. A New Hope had plenty of cheesy lines, but the overall tone of the movie allowed for it because it was a cheesy movie. Rogue One is trying to pass itself off as a gritty war movie set in the Star Wars universe, and if that’s what they’re going for, there’s no room for cheesy lines like that.

It’s just a little to on-the-nose for me. I would prefer if it went something like

“This is a rebellion, isn’t it? That’s what I’m doing.”

or something, anything else. I don’t think the delivery of the line is done very well, either.

This. The initial bad taste some had when they heard that line will be washed away when we actually see the scene in it’s entirety.

Hopefully.
