𝐿𝒶𝓃𝒶 "not yet begun to fight"With everything going on in LA right now it's just so difficult to figure out who the good guys are in this situation. If only there were, like, a really good movie I could watch that would make a super obvious analogy, like Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, Robin Hood, Braveheart, V for Vendetta, Indiana Jones, A Bugs Life, Snowpiercer, Ben Hur, 1984, MacBeth, Saving Private Ryan, The Matrix, American History X, Dead Poets Society, Schindler's List, Captain America, Casablanca, District 9, Come and See, Inglorious Basterds, Minority Report, Dune, Pan's Labyrinth, Sound of Music, Les Miserables, Harry Potter, Elysium, Gattaca, The LEGO Movie, Blues Brothers, Cheech and Chong, Barbie Movie, Oppenheimer, Planet of the Apes, Zone of Interest, Watchmen, Hunger Games, or Wicked. But it would be even better if there were like a whole TV show about it, like Andor, Handmaid's Tale, The Man in the High Castle, Game of Thrones, the Boys, Firefly, Star Trek, Battlestar Galactica, ....
michael aubert@Lana Babylon 5 and The Newsroom come to mind too
purple's a fire marshal first aider@michaelaubert @Lana yeah the Newsroom isn't perfect by any means but it's simple existence does drive me loopy sometimes.
Like, it's not even analogy. You don't need to unpick any clever parallels.
They literally pointed directly at the actual real world thing, with receipts, and went ‘maybe don't? how about don't?’.
But did even a single person get anything from it?
Apparently not.
