@TimothyJamesCat @Tico_Romao @SpyLovedMeToo @JaneNightshade @roger_bakes @JeffreyRothsch3 @OldCarLongRoad @MarkBringelson @ihateclaims @performativeUtt I agree. A lot of gay activists used to play this same parlor game of suggesting every gay film by straight folks is in some way homophobic. William Friedkin’s films Cruising and Boys In The Band were both called anti-gay and I don’t see them that way at all.
@TimothyJamesCat @Tico_Romao @SpyLovedMeToo @JaneNightshade @roger_bakes @JeffreyRothsch3 @OldCarLongRoad @MarkBringelson @ihateclaims @performativeUtt Yeah pretty much. I’d rather talk about what I love about movies than just complain about them
@Freelineorlando @TimothyJamesCat @Tico_Romao @SpyLovedMeToo @JaneNightshade @JeffreyRothsch3 @OldCarLongRoad @MarkBringelson @ihateclaims @performativeUtt Complaining is shallow, reductive and achieves nothing. Intelligent discussion and an appreciative aesthetic response opens up the film and leads to greater appreciation and insight.
@roger_bakes @TimothyJamesCat @Tico_Romao @SpyLovedMeToo @JaneNightshade @JeffreyRothsch3 @OldCarLongRoad @MarkBringelson @ihateclaims @performativeUtt As I like to say to the complainers, "Would you like some cheese and crackers with your whine?"
@Freelineorlando @roger_bakes @TimothyJamesCat @Tico_Romao @SpyLovedMeToo @JaneNightshade @JeffreyRothsch3 @OldCarLongRoad @MarkBringelson @ihateclaims @performativeUtt I don't know. I 've worked with complainers who can bring their game to operatic levels. Kind of entertaining - for a while.

@roger_bakes @MikeRey61920141 @Freelineorlando @TimothyJamesCat @Tico_Romao @SpyLovedMeToo @JaneNightshade @JeffreyRothsch3 @OldCarLongRoad @MarkBringelson @ihateclaims A book review of his bio quoted Henry Ford II after having been stopped for driving under the influence: “Never complain, never explain.”
@performativeUtt @roger_bakes @MikeRey61920141 @Freelineorlando @TimothyJamesCat @Tico_Romao @SpyLovedMeToo @JaneNightshade @OldCarLongRoad @MarkBringelson @ihateclaims MGFM: The only asshole bigger than either Ford might be Edison. All were fascists. The first Ford did have one good line: “You can get a Ford in any color as long as it’s black.”
@JeffreyRothsch3 @roger_bakes @MikeRey61920141 @Freelineorlando @TimothyJamesCat @Tico_Romao @SpyLovedMeToo @JaneNightshade @OldCarLongRoad @MarkBringelson @ihateclaims You got me on MGFM. Not disagreeing with your statement, but I was quoting HF the 2nd. For you army folks, I see that Machine Gun Firing Manual is a candidate.
