I've been trying to not just be "liam bad", but him saying "yea I've seen Enemy at the Gates" as if it has anything of substance to say about ww2, the ussr, the battle of stalingrad, or literally anything really rubbed me the wrong way. I swear that movie is one of the most successful pieces of propaganda ever.
Between that, Alice's russophobic brainworms, and hearing them uncritically repeat the "russia blew up the dam" story without considering other very likely scenarios got me to skip most of the goddamn news
tbh I remember watching it as a lib teen and then spending a few 100 hours in Battlefield playing Soviet sniper with my brother, competing who gets the most Nazis domed.
I'll admit scenes of that movie are a kind of guilty pleasure of mine, like when Vasily snipes 5 nazis using artillery to hide was dope. But referring to the movie as a whole as anything other than heavy handed anti-soviet propaganda is a big L for liam and the pod

Now that's not fair. It also has one of the most off-putting (consensual) sex scenes ever put on film.
