Ixoid@lemm.eetoPolitical Memes@lemmy.world•Pope Francis was a great Christian pastorEnglish6·23 days agoI tend to place personal experience over random internet articles written by strangers. I attended catholic church weekly until 18 and went to catholic primary and secondary schools, and not once did I hear a member of the clergy referred to as ‘pastor’. Not once.

Ixoid@lemm.eeto movies@lemm.ee•What’s a movie nobody can convince you is good?English101·2 months agoI’m pretty sure my recent rewatch was the director’s cut. The theatrical release must have been indecipherable. I hear what you’re saying about the cyberpunk aesthetic - the visuals were the best thing about this movie. I would thoroughly recommend scifi buffs reading Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep by Phillip K. Dick - it’s an excellent (and not overly long) dystopian novella that has so many layers and themes (that Blade Runner largely omitted).
Ixoid@lemm.eeto movies@lemm.ee•What’s a movie nobody can convince you is good?English183·2 months agoBladeRunner - is like they wrote the screenplay based on the excellent source novel, then cut most of the ideas out, leaving only things that make no sense. Rick Deckard is a terrible detective, and only wins the final confrontation because Roy Batty… just gives up? I recently decided that my teenage self might have been wrong and rewatched it… nah, still terrible.
There was no scenery left after Tim had chewed it all up in RA.

Calls Grow Louder.English7·2 months agoWhat if there is great value in repelling foreign invaders from your country? Ukraine needs all the funds, especially after a certain shithole country has withdrawn financial aid.
