someone: the disney little mermaid is a bad adaptation of the original story because she’s meant to die at the end

me: the original story was meant to be an outlet for the male author having unrequited and repressed romantic feelings for another man and the only happy ending he saw for a same sex attracted man was to die and the only reward was being able to earn his soul through the joy of children his stories brought while the Disney adaptation touched upon the same themes with the work of Howard Ashman, another same sex attracted man but instead being able to give the mermaid a happy and loving relationship where she lives out her dreams is just as thematic and truer to the what the story sought to tell instead of having it become a tragedy. in this essay i

“This is the big reveal that’s mirrored in the game of mahjong. Rachel draws a tile in mahjong. It’s a set-building game; it’s very much like poker, so you can draw a card that gives you the win. So Rachel draws the win, but instead of winning, she lets Eleanor have [the winning tile], and so that mirrors the dialogue because what she tells Eleanor in that moment is, ‘Your son has proposed to me, but because I don’t want him to lose his relationship with his mother, I am going to say no and in the future, when he marries someone you think is appropriate, you’re going to remember that that’s because of me.” ~ Bourree Lam, journalist

Crazy Rich Asians (2018), dir. Jon M. Chu

It’s better than that. She’s a game theory expert, and knows better than to play a lose/lose hand. She explicitly says that to her students in the opening scene of the movie. This is Rachel using her professional expertise in her personal life, and turning a lose/lose situation into a win/win by not playing a game based on fear. It’s paying off the very first thing we ever learned about her as the climax of the story.

The script for Crazy Rich Asians has the kind of scriptwriting tightness only the very best romcoms have, like Top Hat, How to Steal a Million, and While You Were Sleeping. Except it understands racism and misogyny better than those films do, for obvious reasons, so it juggles even more balls, with even more skill.

It’s really well written, and should be taught at film school, stat.

like fuck jk rowing her battle of hogwarts doesn’t hold a CANDLE to the battle of olympus in percy jackson….. annabeth instinctively taking a knife for percy that would’ve hit his achilles spot bcuz she just knew….. silena dying after masquerading as clarisse to convince ares cabin to join the battle, revealing in the end she was the spy and caused the death of her own boyfriend…. kronos being defeated after percy realizes he’s not the hero and gives luke annabeth’s knife which he uses to kill himself…. percy being offered immortality and instead asking for the gods to from now on recognize all their children so no one ever feels unwanted again….. TELL me u didn’t absolutely go feral reading this for the first time in 6th grade or whenever

[leovanni69]

Don’t forget Clarissa going fucking nuts at sight of silena dieing and solo’d what was basically an elder dragon to which she chained its 2 ton carcass to a chariot and rode it into battle…

Rutger Bregman is the Dutch historian who became a global sensation after an appearance at this year’s Davos summit, where he accused attending billionaires of ignoring taxation. Now he has created another viral moment in an extremely uncomfortable interview with Fox News’s Tucker Carlson.

Bregman so riled Carson with his accusations of hypocrisy, critiques of Fox’s conservative agenda, and attacks on Donald Trump that the TV host called him a “moron” and angrily told him: “Go fuck yourself.”

Lot more people around the world are going to watch this now than if it actually aired. Speaking truth to power is the best viral content!
