Israel is a safe haven for paedophiles, they exploit the law of return so they can move there when they’re feeling under pressure in their own countries. Brett Ratner moved there recently . All those sex offenders are also in close vicinity to a territory comprised mostly of. .

Watching this documentary about checkpoints in Palestine, and had to clip this bit, what the actual fuck. It’s insane to me they do this shit on camera, but I guess that’s what decades of impunity gets you

Fucking hell, I know this wasn’t filmed just now but being released just two weeks after the Nuseirat massacre where they hid in aid trucks to kill over 200 people, jfc . You ever wonder why Palestinians are so vilified and dehumanised? Decades upon decades of this shit.
Boycott this racist ass movie that normalizes Americans hiding in aid trucks to shoot and murder Arabs. Does this sound familiar to anyone?. I’m literally 1 min 43 seconds in and they have Arabs wearing kuffiyehs, using subtitles like “(terrorist in Arabic)”. Instant boycott.

Remember how Obama blocked the release of about 2000 photographs of torture and sexual abuse at Abu Ghraib, many of them of women and minors because it would inflame the American public opinion? These Haditha massacre photos have been released for the very first time today
U.S. Marines killed 24 civilians in Haditha, Iraq, and documented the aftermath. For years, the military has tried to keep the photos from the public. The New Yorker is now publishing newly obtained images.

children. Shit makes you sick to the stomach. There’s documented accounts and reports of Palestinian children (often abducted in the middle of the night) sexually abused and tortured in Israeli jails. Given the trauma and shame for victims, these cases are likely underreported.

Really excruciating to watch. Just an undiluted look at the mundane reality of day to day life for Palestinians. These checkpoints are enough to drive anyone insane. There’s a bit just before this where an Israeli Border Police officer brags to the camera about making.

Palestinians suffer (with an extremely obnoxious macho bravado), then spots a Palestinian girl across the street getting her ID checked at a checkpoint, crosses over to her and demands she turns around and faces him. He gets up all in her space, essentially sexually harassing her.

Watched #TheRiseOfSkywalker a few hours ago and my lord, the pacing of this movie is fucking insane. The first half especially feels like it’s going 300mph. Reducing Adam Driver to an exposition machine is a crime. And the ending. horrific. SO SO tone deaf.

The most entertaining parts of redemption arcs come after the character has been redeemed, and I don’t understand why Western storytellers don’t get that.

@Astral_Turf Just so creepy, and they can’t do anything for fear of angering them and getting gunned down on the spot. I shudder to think what he would have done to her had there been no cameras. So horrible.

Weird how Kylo is one of my ultimate fave characters but I think he’s very underwritten. Like, it’s actually insane how much mileage Driver wrung out of the character, he carried it hard. I really don’t think he would have become as popular or as iconic if nearly any other actor.

#trosspoilers. Redeemed Ben Solo was genuinely incredible. Demeanour was so free & loose compared to Kylo. Funny too. Honestly, it was like seeing young Han Solo in the flesh again. Truly his father’s son. There was a shot where he looked downright angelic. He was a delight.

“Luke Skywalker, who feels he’s in a small town, and is destined to do something greater, and needs to get out and do it.” . Same energy as Rian saying Tatooine is a small world that represents childhood. They get it.

The main association with Abu Ghraib is of the institutionalised torture and assault of men, but this wasn’t because women and girls weren’t being raped, they were, but they’ve successfully hidden it to this day. There was a letter that was smuggled out of the prison around 2004.

So it’s already been brought up that JJ met with George Lucas before crafting the story of TROS, but in that GMA interview he mentioned that he also met with Lawrence Kasdan and RIAN JOHNSON 👀👀. #TheRiseOfSkywalker.

Adam Driver really needs to play Rochester in an adaptation of Jane Eyre or something. That man is MADE for period dramas. Basically, what I’m saying is that he should play a Byronic character again.

Kylo taking off his mask in TFA is recreated shot by shot in TLJ, right down to the camera angles and lighting. Only difference is he looks more put together in TFA, as opposed to a wreck in TLJ.

Patty Jenkins perfectly articulating here as to how having a love interest for a heroine should not be seen as demeaning. Female characters should be allowed to experience the same range & complexity of emotions as male characters. Love is a natural part of everyday human life.

Just watched this scene again. It’s so compelling & emotional. Look at Rey, she’s devastated. Forced to confront the truth buried deep down. How did JJ/Terrio look at this & decide nah we’ll make her a Palpatine? That they couldn’t take her lowest low and build on it? Upsetting.

Rian was operating under the constraints placed upon him by JJ’s storytelling, and he still opened up those mystery boxes & tried to give logical answers to them. He also wiped the board clean & handed a blank slate to JJ. He could have went anywhere, options were limitless.

When you introduce a new mystical concept like the dyad in TROS, and surround it with language like “two that are one” “a power like life itself” and reveal that it’s something that only comes around once a millennium, then of course you create very high expectations around it.

“You don’t just have power. You have his power.”.“You are a Palpatine”.“Your parents sold you to protect you.”.“Your parents were nobody, because they chose to be.”.“I’m going to find you and turn you to the dark side.”. What did Adam do to be saddled with these godawful lines 🥴.

You know how during TLJ press RJ constantly mentioned how before beginning the writing process he wrote the characters names & then tried to figure out how to best challenge them? Mentioned that in regards to Knives Out too - “make life as hard as possible on them”- (the heroes).

One of the very few scenes where the movie slowed down and was allowed to breathe. There was a real sense of warmth and love in this scene. Admittedly they only had two scenes together, but Harrison & Adam had great father-son chemistry.

“Never has Driver, even with his Star Wars rage monster Kylo Ren under his belt, torn into his lines with such vicious ruination.”. “When Charlie finally loses his cool, Driver unleashes a kind of brutal intensity that might even jangle Kylo Ren’s nerves.”. Oooof.

Adam has literally said several times in interviews that he’s seen TLJ, and praised Rian’s work on it. He’s seen TFA as well. His Star Wars movies are the only ones from his filmography that’s he’s actually watched. Weird hill to die on.

Pedro standing up to TFM/alt-right is amazing and a breath of fresh air but it really does underscore how this wouldn’t have snowballed so much if SW/LFL had taken a firm stand at the beginning and made very clear that these types of ppl weren’t being catered to.

So this shot is incredibly interesting. Up to this point, despite sharing scenes, Rey & Kylo are never seen in the same frame or the others environment. Not framed like conventional dialogue sequences. This is the first wide shot they share & first time they are framed together.

Using KMT’s statement that the film had too much on its plate and that it was ultimately bigger than her to defend Rose being erased isn’t the gotcha you think it is. She’s far too classy and we know that if she actually spoke up about her mistreatment (even though she would be.

This headline is insane. Straight up inciting violence and directing antisemitic hate speech towards someone who spoke out against their identity being weaponised for genocide. Putting a picture of the entrance of Auschwitz next to a Jewish man, are you crazy?!.

It’s funny how the TROS artbook pulled vague quotes from 2014 Story Group conversations & recontextualised them to prove that the plan was always for Rey to be a spiritual Skywalker when the TFA artbook says this. Just amusing inconsistencies, is all
