Just to suck the life out of this (yet another) hilarious vignette, did you know, according to the data gathered by defenders.org, in the United States more people are killed by cows than wolves?! The UK-based theconversation.com has a webpage advising how to stay safe around a killer herd!
Workers of The World…Relax!

I’m back. Didja miss me?
Have to politely disagree with Mr Ager’s analysis/conjecture. While I may concede that some abuse may have happened in Alex’s childhood, there’s no solid or even implied link to either parent being the abuser. Unfortunately, people hang for such circumstantial or presumed evidence. I’ll generously grant Ager that there may have been sexual abuse on the part of the law (Deltoid, police) and if any case may be made regarding the parents’ culpability, it possibly would be their turning a blind eye to the presumed sexual abuse (there’s a legal term for this but it escapes me at the moment).

Really? You need to see a (max.) 64px sq image of something to engage?
Here. Use an Invidious link instead of Piped. Best of both worlds: it doesn’t link directly to privacy-ignoring YouTube and (usually) will show a post thumbnail image when linked to from Lemmy.
If you all will excuse me, I’m gonna engage in the linked analysis of A Clockwork Orange.

When was the last time you had USD$10B? Next you’re gonna defend Mackenzie Scott’s hard-earned USB$34B, I suppose.

Indeed. Now she has only ca. USD$11B left over to survive with. She can buy only five, possibly six Sentinel ICBMs.

What’s everybody getting so perturbed about? Geez. Isn’t this just like when an ethnic group uses an ethnic slur within their own circle? 🤣
admitting homosexual men into seminaries
Ooh, like that’s never happened before in the entire history of the Holy See. 🙄

I should know better than to ask but…
What kind of image are you uploading to a lemmy instance that’s eight meg?
Famously (depending on your definition of “fame”) the only Roger Corman film that lost money.

“What do you know about brains?” Hilarious! 🤣
Why? Is there more than one kind?

It’s all subjective, isn’t it?
No, I have documented sources and signed affidavits by the crew…of course it’s all subjective! 🤣 🤣 🤣 Then again, film critics and the public were unanimous in their opinion and the film flopped, soooooo there’s that.
Was it this movie or Meatballs where he chanted, “It just doesn’t matter”?
And with this, sarcastic or sincere, you’ve proved my point. Murray, at this point in his career, was more famous for leading the chant “it just doesn’t matter” (Meatballs) or for goading John Candy to mudwrestle, “You’re a lean…mean…FIGHTING…MACHINE!” (Stripes)
And to think, he did Ghostbusters just to get financing for this vanity project. Hey, we all like what we like and later make up reasons for it. Cheers!
No, much as I would have liked this film to work, it didn’t and Bill Murray was the main reason.
Murray, like De Niro or even Steve Martin (see The Spanish Prisoner), has a distinct presence, a style, an “scent” if you will, and his style was definitely not suited for this role, especially for that point in Murray’s career. Like George Reeves’ uncredited role in From Here To Eternity (the audience in 1953 kept expecting Reeves to rip open his shirt and fly off) it seemed that Murray was always on the verge of breaking into “lounge singer” mode or at least delivering some withering, sarcastic punchline.
In later years, directors such as Wes Anderson and Sofia Coppola found how to mix that characteristic Murray flavor into the stew.
High style, terrifying premise, subtle performances, dryer than a vodka martini. I’d almost dare to say it’s required viewing.
After (as of this reply) eight hours, you have produced nothing more than anecdotal evidence if not outright invented. I must assume at this point you are spreading disinformation for whatever your goals may be to that end.
Thank you for wasting everybody’s time.
OK, I’ll bite. You got something more substantial than “I read it on the internet” to back that up? One reputable source on your accusation? Not sayin’ you’re lying/wrong, just asking for some verifiable proof.
Breathtaking! Thanks for posting this.
