I attended a class in college that was about analyzing that scene from TDKR. I can't find my 20 page essay on it right now, but the scene is going over your head too OP.
So in TDKR, I'm sure you all remember this exchange between Littlefinger and Bane at the beginning of the movie:I understood this, but the joke is really that the audio is terribly scripted and edited
LF: If I pull that off, would you die?
Bane: It would be extremely painful.
LF: You're a big guy!
Bane: For you.
A mindbogglingly large number of people thought Bane's last line refers to "You're a big guy!". Which makes no goddamn sense :lol
Do people have the memory of an amnesiac goldfish and can only remember the last spoken line? Did the delivery throw them off? Is Nolan a master troll?
Who knows.
Anything that made you think "Wait, are you fucking stupid?", brehs?
That Starship Troopers was a satire.Related : That Robocop was. It's the only way I can reconcile that awful reboot that tried to play it straight or whatever the fuck they were doing.

People enjoying the Adam West Batman "ironically" and not realizing it's deliberate camp.When I was a kid, I thought Adam West's Batman was high adventure. When I became a teen, I enjoyed it all over again as a comedy. Truly gold.

Because milk is produced by female mammals, a feminist perspective seems to offer a logical foundation for such inquiry. From the start, feminism has been a movement for justice: at its heart is the centrality of praxis, the necessary linkage of intellectual, political, and activist work. Feminist methodology puts the lives of the oppressed at the center of the research question and undertakes studies, gathers data, and interrogates material contexts with the primary aim of improving the lives and the material conditions of the oppressed. Using standard feminist methodology, twentieth-century vegan feminists and animal ecofeminists challenged animal suffering in its many manifestations (in scientific research, and specifically in the feminized beauty and cleaning products industries; in dairy, egg, and animal food production; in “pet” keeping and breeding, zoos, rodeos, hunting, fur, and clothing) by developing a feminist theoretical perspective on the intersections of species, gender, race, class, sexuality, and nature. Motivated by an intellectual and experiential understanding of the mutually reinforcing interconnections among diverse forms of oppression, vegan feminists and ecofeminists positioned their own liberation and well-being as variously raced, classed, gendered, and sexual humans to be fundamentally interconnected to the well-being of other nondominant human and animal species, augmenting Patricia Hill Collins’s definition of intersectionality to include species as well.
In California and Wisconsin, rows of cows are lined up in stalls, with metal suction cups pumping on their teats, extracting milk; on the May 21, 2012,cover of Time magazine, a twenty-six-year-old mother is pictured, breastfeeding her three-year-old son.
Which image is more shocking? Ideologically imprisoned in a humanist colonial framework, few human mothers who breastfeed their infants use this embodied experience as an avenue for empathizing with other mammal mothers; few human parents who touch and nurture their newborns have used these behaviors’ affectionate oxytocin release as an opportunity to consider the experiences of other animal parents locked in systems of human captivity. Feminist milk studies addresses the bio-psycho-social connections produced through the behavioral and material elements of this first relationship, the mother–infant bond, and their nursing milk
For too long, the dominant culture has childishly projected its own gendered image onto nature as selfless and self-sacrificing mother, as in Shel Silverstein’s book The Giving Tree, or onto other mammal species, requiring the female bovine to symbolize maternal nature: mindless, patient, slow-moving, lactating. If we set aside this stereotype and look into her eyes, what can we see?
What would posting about this article on GAF do to convince the author and the commenters otherwise, or solve the systemic social issue of ingrained religious misogyny in any way?
Are we planning on screencapping the incoming sure-to-be-solid deconstructions of their arguments and using them to reply to every single one of the comments on the linked conservative website? Just let me know what the endgame is here.
From the author of "With A Beard, Paul Ryan Exudes Manliness", "Practically no one is transgender", "Pro-Lifers are Today's Abolitionists", and "5 Things Taylor Swift Teaches Us About Capitalism" and the GAF poster who troll-posted "Towards A Feminist Postcolonial Milk Studies", Milo's "Promiscuous Feminist Bullies Tearing The Video Game Industry Apart", and the hit Jim Gilmore 2016 |OT| comes this thread that I just locked!
People watch Fight Club and think it's a positive statement about how awesome Tyler Durden is, and how great it would be to ditch the mainstream lifestyle and live as a sexy anarchist criminal. It's actually about the destructiveness of hero worship and the cult of personality, and how a search for individual self-actualization can't be found by becoming a follower in someone else's ideology. Many people skip over the fact that Tyler's supposedly an anarchist, anti-establishment, but is the leader of Project Mayhem, which is run in a cult- or military-like fashion.People enjoying the Adam West Batman "ironically" and not realizing it's deliberate camp.When I was a kid, I thought Adam West's Batman was high adventure.

Your perspective of Fight Club kind of depends on the age you see it. What you get out of it at 15-22 is much different than what you get at it from 28-40. That's really the same for most movies, as the older you get, you identify more with the older characters. There's an entire generation of people that loved Ferris Bueller for years, until they hit like 25 and up and realized he was a fucking asshole that makes everyone around him suffer.
Also holy shit if there is anyone that watches Adam West Batman and doesn't realize it's intentionally ultra camp. Like...loooooooooooooooool.

The fact that characters like Walter White, Don Draper and Rick aren't meant to be role models.

Well i guess i need some education then because I've been living my entire life thinking that's exactly how karma works, at least when it's being a bitch.
No need to wait for future lives, you reap what you sow in this life as well as your next.

Ok so i didn't read ALL of that, but i found this quote in that text:
"We perform an action, and sometime later we begin to experience its results. We plant a mango seed, and many years later we taste the fruit."
Seems like bad things will happen to bad people because karma is a bitch.

Not necessarily.
Being President of the United States or any country requires you to be a certain kind of person. Someone who is willing to say yes to killing people - sometimes potentially innocents. Obama signed off on those drone wars in the arab world. Obama has killed people. Not with his own hands, mind you. But he's killed people nonetheless.
Do you think something bad will happen to Obama because of that? Do you think something bad will happen to those who use the general populace and make themselves richer? Or are they more likely to sleep soundly at night?
It does, however, affect others. Karma merely means action. There's good action (karma) and bad action (karma) but it is not a boomerang that comes back.

Fox News Channel originally used the slogan "Fair and Balanced", which was coined by network co-founder Roger Ailes while the network was being established. The New York Times described the slogan as being both a "blunt signal that Fox News planned to counteract what Mr. Ailes and many others viewed as a liberal bias ingrained in television coverage by establishment news networks."

How can you take Robocop for anything else than satire (unless you're a young kid) ? :lol
Starship Troopers I can see, it's outrageous but confusion is clearly the intent at some level here, though it's pretty shameful that some professional critics "who studied filmmaking their whole life" (© ResetEra) took it at face value when any passing familiarity with Verhoeven should be enough to avoid missing the point that much (unless you've only seen De Vierde Man and Basic Instinct and thought they played it straight too, somehow).
