I was a bit late in posting the thread in yesterday's General Comments, so this is a reminder. Please don't post your comment secret here! Instead, post it in this thread:

(It's just easier if they're all in one thread.)

Thanks, and hope you're all having a good weekend!

Freezing this so people don't reply to the wrong thread. Thanks for what you do!

I was finally able to see it this week. I liked it a lot! Anyone else see it?

Waiting for D+ release to drop. Cinemas are expensive and smelly.

Yes! I went to a mid-week matinee and was the only person in the theatre, which was fun.

I think it might be my new favourite MCU film. I’ve been kind of checked out from that stuff for a while, but this was just my kind of thing. I’m all about the “group of characters learning to trust and work together”. And the big villain being personified devastating depression, overcome not through violence but through accepting love and support? It hit pretty hard, in a way that wasn’t awkwardly undermined by the execution.

I will definitely be rewatching, reading some character-study fanfiction, and looking forward to more stories with these characters.

Lucky you! Being alone in the theatre is awesome.

Yeah, my friend cried in the theatre. She and I liked all of the characters. And Lewis Pullman is great.

It was so good

I went yesterday by accident (I had booked to see Final Destination but accidentally booked at the wrong theatre and didn't want to wait 3 hours for the next showing at the theatre I was at) and it was so much fun! Plus it had me crying a little which I don't usually do at Marvel films.

New thoughts on old secrets?

Responses to old comment threads?

Updates on old personal posts?

Anyone here you want to thank?

I'm the one whose cat got diabetes about a year ago. She was cured after pulling some bad teeth. It's crazy, I had arranged my life around her shots and testing, and all of a sudden, I didn't have to do that anymore. I still have to test a couple of times a month to make sure the diabetes doesn't come back.

Cat (and small breed dog) teeth are crazy. They can cause so much shit in their life.

Glad to hear it! I’m sure both you and she are relieved.

1970s Sleaze

Someone asked why the UK was so sleazy in the 1970s. Repliers stated it wasn't just the UK.

I just want to add in from the US side:
-2nd wave feminism started in the late 1960s
-birth control pills were prescribed starting in the 1960s
-Roe v Wade meant abortions became legal in the 1970s
-Stonewall snowballed LGBT+ community building, pushing queerness towards mainstream notice
-the Hays code in Hollywood ended at the end of the 1960s
-"decency" laws were overturned in the late 1960s-early 1970s
-technology advancing in a way in which video camera ownership, VHS tapes with VCRs at home, video/games rental shops really opened avenues for more independent filmmaking (*cough* expansion of pornography *cough*)
All that (and likely a lot more) paved the way for the 1970s to be a messy era where progressive movements encouraged more voices and points or views to be boosted.

Conservative Christian white washed hierarchy was heavily questioned, those in power also had to deal with societal unrest with progressive ideologies and expensive wars in South East Asia and the Middle East.
Like...there was a lot going on in the 1970s. The sleaziness in places like the US was a result of a lot of things interconnecting and clashing.

In NYC, people went to warehouses where "points were being filmed". They would all sit in a room where there would be a bed and a camera pointing at it and watch the "recording" of two sex workers fornicating. Those sessions actually weren't always recorded.
Like, it's because those in power were too busy elsewhere to see how local communities were keeping afloat.
Many citizens had to turn to alternative work to make money and obviously sex work, burglary, theft, fraud would become big.
Technology was advancing in a way in which more citizens could start creating their own pieces of art. And human have a habit of obsessing over sex. It was more than just porn films. The printing press industry was huge. Playboy and other nudey mags made big business.

I was born in the 1980s so this elder millennial just has always found the 20th century so very fascinating. What a wild century.

All very interesting, thanks for the addition!

Define losers as you wish. Mine are Jerry Lundegaard in Fargo and Lester Nygaard in the Fargo TV show. Honestly, Fargo does pathetic losers really well.

Usopp in One Piece. He's such a great character, more well-rounded than at least 2/3 of the Monsters (I say as a huge Zoro fan) and better for his utter lack of win. He's going to be the second most well-adjusted Straw Hat capable of returning to a normal life post-series, behind Jinbe (because lbr Fishdad is already adjusted).

Peter Campbell in Mad Men
Always wanting to be important because he was born into wealth, but all that he has going for him is his family name. Lack of charm or self respect, all he can do is be a big fish in a small pond.
And yet, the show had moments where I felt compassion for him. Quotable as hell too ("Hell's bells Trudy!", "Draper! What in the hell have you-*falls down the stairs*", "THE KING ORDERED IT!", "Not great, Bob!").
What great moment when Lane Pryce beats him and all Don, Bert Cooper and Roger do is watch. XD

Donna Noble starts out that way. Actually, a lot of Doctor Who companions start out that way. I like that he finds people who haven't had much success in the real world, but he sees the potential in them.

The Gang in It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia

Arthur Dent in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

Charlie Brown

I haven't seen Andor S2 yet, but based on S1, I'm going to say Syril Karn. I would say Dedra Meero, but IDK if I quite consider her a loser in S1. A maladjusted fascist with no concept of how to be a person outside of the obsessive pursuit of her ideals? Yes. But I feel like she has two many strengths to quite fit the bill of a loser per se.
