more vocal stims but they're way more niche and specific

if i was gonna fuck a turkey, i would warm it up LIKE A GODDAMN GENTLEMAN!!!

i'm....not....vaccinated!

there was a stonehenge monument onstage in danger of being crushed by a dwarf!

ARROW??? no.

the fucking shofar is broken, peter!

who approved mounds???

not the wet grotto. anything but the wet grotto. god forbid the wet grotto.

and now look. the children are dead.

...this is a parrot.

you dyed your hair. we thought you might kill yourself.

i love it when racism is casual.

"pick up uncle mark from the airport." not in this piece of shit.

forty minutes late with six melting scoops. i tried, like, a hundred samples. forty minutes late and i picked vanilla. there was a huge line and i paid with a check.

pilk it!

"congratulations" isn't usually a holocaust adjective.

okay, if you get this wrong one more time i'm segregating the school.

hi, and welcome back to another episode of trailer music, today's topic, Ronald Reagan. i didn't watch the traielr when it came out, because of course i didn't, then i saw headline yesterday saying Bob Dylana nd Gene Simmons were contributing songs, so let's see the trailer. 1

huh, this lyric's familiar...

oh

it's Tears For Fears' classic 'Everybody Wants to Rule the World' off their sophomore album 'Songs from the Big Chair' released 1985. and, yet again, they can fuck right off.

it feels like it makes sense for them to use it, a prevaling image of Reagan is the 'tear down this wall', which is even the last shot of the trailer. and allegedly, according to the video description, it's about how he was 'sustained by the love of a woman who supported him in his journey'. so a lyric like

'Holding hands while the walls come tumbling down' 2

would be big for them. and guess what

they don't even play that bit of the song.

and general lyrics abot freedom, liberty, and;

i can't stand this indecision married with a lack of vision

which you could use over the footage of Carter in the trailer, to try and play up his percieved faults, that he 'was hapless, was feeble, was someone who could be taken down by a rabbit' 3

and my favourite segment, reading comments.

there's a number of comments quoting back to the future

someone compared it to 'The Iron Lady', with a response to that calling Thatcherism based.

people saying it looks like an SNL parody trailer, which, i guess it does

people going 'oh boy, i hope it shows the Iran-Contra affair', which i can't comment on, because i don't remember what happened.

people in both the trailer comments and lyric comments saying 'ooh, ooh Skibidi toilet.' and i have no idea

and finally a couple of people saying that a guy from Creed is playing Sinatra in this movie. thankfully Sammy Davis Jr. will be played by Scarlett Johansson 4

i just really like the song, and am disappointed again.
