Watching a film about a town turning to fascism under the influence of a charismatic leader who was created as a form of cheap entertainment by a grifter solely to make money hits pretty hard in the year of our lord two thousand and twenty five.
The opening scene of Werckmeister Harmonies is so beautiful.

People say “Avatar had no cultural impact” as though teaching a whole generation about the sacrifice of our brave boys who died fighting on Pandora doesn’t count as a cultural impact

You know someone is a real history understander when they identify as a “history buff.”
In terms of causing human misery, it goes:
1. War
2. Slavery
3. Communism
This guy doesn't know anything about the Soviet Union.

I don’t mind when the Home Screen of my tv is advertising shows or movies that are streaming or whatever, but when it’s advertising Taco Bell to me I start thinking about putting on the First Reformed vest.

Calling out a fascist for taking a hypocritical position is easy. It's also a complete waste of time. Fascist rhetoric is aesthetics— pathos, never logos.
You'll never get anywhere pointing out a fascist's hypocrisy. Fascism is not to be debated, it's to be smashed. Get comfortable using power.

Vimeo still does staff picks? Their website has been unusable as a community for finding new and interesting video and film work for at least had a decade, I’m surprised they would even still bother.

Most Americans don't know this, but December 26th is actually a special holiday elsewhere. I speak of course about: Chairman Mao's birthday!

I wonder what kind of bidding war took place to change the product placement from Pepsi to Cocoa-Cola between Home Alone and Home Alone 2.

It is genuinely nuts to be two years into a genocide and still see people you think are generally pretty normal complain that protesting the genocide is disrupting people’s holiday celebrations or whatever.
