Unpopular Opinion@lemmy.world•Yes, providing spoiler warnings for very old films is still appropriate and necessaryEnglish
1·3 days agoPretty much what I was trying to say, succinctly.
Fuck yes I love shit like this.

Just kinda fits with the stereotypical naming convention. Like John White for an American.

5·3 days agoYou don’t have to put up spoiler warnings for old films, but it’s still thoughtful to do so.
I definitely put up spoilers for old films if I’m telling people to watch something and I think it is improved by the twist. But I also don’t think we as a collective society need to avoid openly talking about The Sixth Sense to protect people who haven’t seen it.
So I guess you’re not in the wrong to spoiler tag, they’re not really in the wrong for thinking it’s funny to spoiler tag a movie that’s older than some of our grandparents. Unless they’re actually, legitimately, shitting on you for tagging spoilers, then they can fuck right off
Some fantasy is heightened by that, though.
I think CS Lewis employed a similar strategy, and Narnia is all the more fantastical for it. I mean what the fuck is going on in The Horse and His Boy and The Silver Chair?
JK Rowling’s strategy of adding lore via halfassed Twitter replies may have a bit less thought involved, though.
I call the first two “unoffical Christmas movies”
Omg I didn’t realize her writing had grown so much! I’ll be paying much attention to the inclusion of Cheeseburger Slurman (American).
The joke is that JK Rowling names her characters offensively.

I’ve seen this done before with multiple non-existent examples.

This one also uses a Japanese example.
My point is that JK Rowling already named an Asian character offensively. She also has an Irish kid named Seamus that loves blowing stuff up, and a black man named Shacklebolt.
All I’m saying is the joke is now distracting from the source, because there is a real example of using her naming conventions on Asian characters. I’ll also say that we don’t actually know Cho’s nationality, yet I don’t have faith in JK Rowling to distinguish between non-European nationalities.
Of course, the longer I talk about it the less funny everything becomes.
Nope, not kidding. Clearly we disagree. It seems Mr. Cuarón’s look for a good fantasy film was a washed-out blue.
That said, I still think PoA is still the best non-Columbus movie - I just enjoy the coziness of the first two. It’s what Hogwarts felt like to me when reading the books, so I naturally like seeing that brought to screen.

17·5 days agoI’ve always wondered that about this story.
Did he go for 100% sleazeball child rapists, or was it just a random selection off the sex offender registry?
Because there are a lot of different ways to end up on that list.
