I think basically everyone agrees that the Ghostbusters trailers fucking blew but there’s “doing a shit job of selling your film” and then there’s “making it look like you’ve cast the black actress as someone ‘street smart’ when really she’s just a huge fucking history nerd"
That’s the point where it tips over into being damaging for more than just your box office.
You mean the black actress is NOT cast as ‘street smart’ but is actually at the same level of intellectual nerdery as the white characters? Maybe I should watch this movie after all.
When she says “You may know science, but I know this city,” she’s not saying it like “I grew up on the streets” or whatever. It’s immediately after this line, “I read a lot of nonfiction.” Her entire thing is that the scientists all know science, but she knows THE HISTORY of the city. At one point she’s griping about joining the Ghostbusters… because she expected it to be more like a book club.
“if you want to adopt kids at an older age, that’s just lazy and you’ll miss the important developmental years. you won’t be able to connect.” okay but consider this:
1. I will not be able to handle a baby, but I will definitely be able to manage and guide an older child
2. no diapers. hallelujah
3. As a foster child gets older, their chance of adoption plummets. Adopting an older child gives a late break to someone who would have otherwise had to age out of the system
4. my plans for adoption are none of your concern
PLEASE CONSIDER THIS.
“As a foster child gets older, their chance of adoption plummets. Adopting an older child gives a late break to someone who would have otherwise had to age out of the system”
I’m glad there are people that share this sentiment
A fun reminder that Aang was a terrifyingly powerful Avatar.
Most Avatars are informed of their newfound destinies at the age of 16 to begin their training. Because of the approaching war Aang was told of his status at the age of 12. He had already mastered airbending, and in the span of a year he mastered the other three elements, the avatar state, and energybending. He also learned lightning redirection and seismic sense (a technique no previous Avatar had even encountered). In the span of a year.
This child was a terrifying force of nature.
Heads up, Ghostbusters has an after credit scene. Just warning because @deep-sea-prince and I were the only ones in the theater to see it. Everyone left early.
A group of douchebag Mystics have been camping the gym at our theater. They’ve been sniping the gym every time someone takes it from them. It’s a huge dick move. I really hope that Niantic makes it so you can’t claim the gym unless you actually Beat It. Snipers are assholes.
not to sound too millennial here but it annoys me so much when I’m at a restaurant and someone I’m with will complain about the service being slow like buddy pal it’s fine it’s not that important
I’ve been packed lately. Shifted companies and accepted some freelance gigs here and there.
I was very nervous doing this scene because I’ve never done actual transformation stuff. It was definitely a learning experience, and a good callback to really mixing up straight ahead animation again.
I am Silver Tongue, I am an artist. I have many characters and you can check out my art in the art tag. I occasionally practice witchcraft though I don't do anything too complicated. I am girl 2 and don't know what else to put here.
