When talking about the Holocaust Revisionism (apparently according to them, the after-credits scene of King’s Man shows Lenin and Hitler colluding), they’re like “oh it’s fantasy, it’s dumb, fiction, fictional”

When talking about the fact that I walked out of the movie, they’re like “so disrespectful, put aside your convictions, just want to spend time, can’t enjoy media with you around because you won’t just blindly consoom”

Liberals continue to be fine with fascist propaganda if it’s said in a calm voice. We’re fucking Jewish. I don’t know how they aren’t taking offense to this. I have ancestors who died in the holocaust.

They still won’t shut up about how I have to like Harry Potter because i’m “letting her politics get in the way of her story something something Orson Scott Card.”

I say we should have seen the new matrix instead and everyone in the car is like “noooooooo” like what the actual fuck AM I THE ONLY ONE WHO’D RATHER WATCH A POTENTIALLY BAD MOVIE OVER A ‘GOOD’ STORY WITH HOLOCAUST REVISIONISM IN THIS FAMILY? FUCK YOU! :matt-jokerfied:

Liberals are a hivemind and their sole directive is uncritical consumption. I feel like im being low key gaslit with the amount them and my brother are trying to convince me I wasn’t right to walk out of a movie that apparently contained HOLOCAUST REVISIONISM!!! :marx-joker:

      It's not about actually "doing" something together, it's about sharing the same experience. So that when someone says "This just like in X movie when Y person did Z thing" you know what they're talking about. It's like sitting around swapping stories so that it's part of the communal memory.

      Not saying this is good, just saying that is the social function being served by watching movies together.

      Depends on what you're watching and how active you are about it. If you can talk during the movie, or you've got it on in the background because you've seen it a million times, or you're doing a Rocky Horror style call back, it can be social.

      It's also fun to watch a movie and talk about it afterwards. My wife and I got a few hours of Convo off the latest Matrix, for instance.

      Watching things with my wife really feels like a social activity because we're both huge nerds and we're both writers and we write together a lot. So whenever we see something together we'll spend hours after the fact breaking but down, talking about what worked and what didn't and what edits we'd make to make it better if we had that power

      I feel like watching a good movie (by today's standards ridiculously good) with someone in a theater is bonding, but if you're not able to talk about it after it wasn't.
