I don't think a lot of filmmakers understand that a lot of the people who enjoy period dramas enjoy watching them for the same reason people enjoy watching foreign films. They LIKE seeing the differences in culture- it's something new and different and interesting. And if you take away those differences, what's the point? You take away one of the major aspects of what makes the experience appealing in the first place. For me, modernizing a period piece to make it more "palatable to a modern audience" is like the equivalent of American tourists who go to another country and insist on eating at the nearest McDonald's. What was even the point?

Absolutely fascinated by how the original belgian draft horse, the brabant, just looks like your usual heavy draft horse:

And then American breeders decided to….. improve….. it:

sir that thing looks like it’s made of plastic

I feel like American breeders just have a tendency to do this. Behold, the French Percheron vs the American Percheron

The British Shetland Pony vs the American Shetland Pony

And it’s not just horses. Compare the English Cocker Spaniel with the American Cocker Spaniel

Nevermind. Forget I ever said anything. I don’t want to talk about the yassified belgians anymore.

Man I hate it when people use the pronoun “you” as a singular pronoun in an informal setting. “You” is plural, unless thou dost speak to an unfamiliar person. The correct singular second person pronoun is “thou” in most cases. Grammar never changes. Pronouns must always stay one way until the end of time. Learn thy proper English. *sigh* Kids these days.

If thou this mistake shouldst make on thine own blog, then know, villain, that thou art a dirty descriptivist, and no friend of mine. Ne'er should language itself alter, it doth remain fixèd as such, untouch’d by change. Wouldst thou, vile descriptivist, that we forget the heritage of our great tongue? Nay, say I. Thou art but a dickhead who sayest so.

Man i feel really bad for the guy who wrote this article because the article actually manages to raise a very very very good point but the way the headline is phrased completely omits 95% of what they were trying to say

And because i know people won’t even bother to click and check the article itself i’m gonna screencap it, it’s fairly short, give it a read:

tl;dr: the article’s point isn’t “corporate satire is not funny anymore as in “we should stop making fun of corporations””, the article’s point is “corporate satire is not funny as in “it’s extremely depressing to live in a capitalistic hellhole and corporate satire aims more to poke fun at that without actually making you think about our world or giving you hope for a better future, and therefore it’s just lost its bite””

Thanks for the screencap, I did try to read the article but the ads on that site were insane.

Kevin is the real villian in Home Alone

orgyporgy

The movie establishes that the phone lines to the house are down, that’s also why nobody is able to call Kevin at home. The movie also establishes that all of his neighbors are out of town which is why he couldn’t borrow their phones. The movie ALSO BEGINS by introducing the main antagonist as a “police officer” which is why Kevin doesn’t trust the cops. I’m so tired of the ignorance. The slander.

FINALLY we’ve reached the time of year for home alone discourse

ceasarslegion

This completely ignores the shot where Kevin runs to the phone and calls 911 in the middle of beating the preverbial shit out of the wet bandits, implying he could have done so all that time. He knew they were coming at 9, he was clearly the child of an upper-class family with THAT house in the Chicago suburbs, the cops would have come.

Kevin is still a bastard incarnate

i learned that in the 1880s, the Harvard Observatory director was frustrated with his staff, and would say “My Scottish maid could do better!” So, he hired his Scottish maid. Williamina Fleming ran a team for decades, classified tens of thousands of stars, & discovered white dwarfs and the Horsehead Nebula (x)

“She became one of the founding members of the Harvard Computers, an all-women cadre of human computers hired by Pickering to compute mathematical classifications and edit the observatory’s publications.

The group included Harvard computer and astronomer Henrietta Swan Leavitt, Annie Jump Cannon, Williamina Fleming, and Antonia Maury.”
