If being “unhinged” means I see a through line between these things, then I accept the eccentricity:

The recent historical practice of chattel slavery and current white Americans salivating at its possible return (or “legal” instrument equivalents *spoiler*) are shown directly and allegorically in Jordan Peele’s GET OUT.

The nearly 100% successfully fulfilled plan of a football booster family to BOOST | GROOM | ENSNARE a young Black “buck” with #NFL football potential and pass off their version of the narrative as virtuous in THE BLIND SIDE (with thankfully at least one other Black character calling out what it really was).

Some person sharing the “feel good story” of screech owls and Texas blind snakes, where the snakes are non-consensually turned into owlet nannies until there is no more need of a snake nanny, who then has a hard time avoiding being an owl snack. Not incidentally featured in the Snack Cider film about #EdgelordOwls acting like #DickBirbs and being #DumbAsRocks in other ways

I spotted a huge seeming Google memory hole for criticism of the #ZackSnyder film about the #EdgelordOwls.
Prompt:

"Legend of the Guardians" "The Owls of Ga'Hoole" "criticism" site:youtube.com

In this increasingly #enshittified timeline the first hit is, of course, a review praising the movie. Unsurprising since Google has been selling top spot to the highest bidder and lying to us about it for several years now, or longer I imagine. Probably when they first moved "Don't Be Evil" to someplace less prominent (thus first signalling they had been corrupted).

Cracking this nut exceeds my #PromptEngineering skills. AND I happen to know I wrote about the video I'm looking for and posted it on Twitter a while ago. I can find it there faster I think. Shining a light on this anomoly anyway.

I'll happily receive links to ANY video critical of "Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole" hosted on YouTube just to be shown that they still exist.

Just betas trying to make the flanges around their necks look bigger than they are.

My husband just told me how Tina Fey and Matt Damon took the piss out of LEGEND OF THE GUARDIANS: THE OWLS OF GA'HOOLE on the show 30 Rock. The episode is called "Double Edged Sword" (you'll need to watch the full episode, the clips leave off the comedy gold).

Matt Damon as Carol — an adult airline pilot — goes all reverant weepy teenager over the edgelord owls because Carol couldn't handle a woman disagreeing with him. The escalation during the waiting on the tarmac scenes is comedy gold.

Nothing good it seems:

… given the fact that the snakes are still sometimes eaten by the owlets (and don't survive well once the nest is vacated), this might really by a commensal relationship, where one species reaps a benefit and the other does its best to deal with the situation.

Screech owls keep blind snakes as live-in housekeepers

There's a very good reason why eastern screech owls like to share their nests with the tiny Texas blind snake.
