I know it’s taboo to say in a lot of places, but I really do, too. can’t stand the Kelvin films.

I know it’s taboo to say in a lot of places, but I really do, too. can’t stand the Kelvin films.
edit: what does this have to do with courtesy?
Olyphant would have been 40-41 when they were casting Star Trek (2009) and Chris Pine was 28-29. That’s a pretty meaningful age difference that comes off in both appearance and performance. It wasn’t just some minor detail— the actor who got cast had to play Kirk from the age of ~18-25, so it made a lot more sense to cast an actor much closer to that age. I don’t see the problem here or how explaining that is “mean”.
edit: in fact, Olyphant didn’t think it was mean at all:
FTA:
“Auditioning sucks,” Olyphant concluded, “and the fact that I remember the audition process fondly says a lot about J.J. Abrams and what a wonderful man that guy is.”
wouldn’t that be dishonest?
I don’t think Abrahams was blaming Olyphant for his age, just that Kirk’s role needed to be cast with a young actor. Olyphant doesn’t meet that requirement. How should he have said that?
hmm… I’m not so sure. Olyphant seems too chill to be who Pike was in that film. He’s not quite imposing enough of a presence.
there’s a difference between “capturing a style” and “looking cheap"
No they don’t.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
were not going to see eye to eye because I’m not defending racists and racist symbolism using a bunch of logical fallacies. I reject your explanations for the reasons I explained: they’re logically fallacious and not based on fact.
and your stubborn insistence and denials don’t change that.
I guess I don’t see what you see in my words then
probably because I’m not trying to twist myself into knots to defend racism and racist symbology with a long list of logical fallacies ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
also, nice cherry-picking
Edit: heres the wikipedia article: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/No_quarter
funny how the flag under discussion isn’t shown or mentioned on this page.
so, your argument is they’re not racist, they’re just stupid?
lmao
sorry, internet rando who keeps defending racist traitors has a lot less credibility than the deputy director of the FL ACLU.
except you can’t explain how without making a false equivalence, which is why your argument makes no sense at all.
there are a surprising amount of racist/racism apologists here.
also, re: your example:
nice false equivalence.
edit: also, nobody is arguing what that the no crossing sign is racist. that’s a
because he can read a history book and see racists waving the flag. it doesn’t take a genius to put 2 and 2 together, even if it’s beyond your abilities. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
they certainly know racism and like racist symbolism
because he knows history and sees racist Trumpublicans hanging/waving this flag?
you really think the Deputy Director of the FL ACLU is full of it and doesn’t know what he’s talking about?
it’s not, though. it was used by Confederate traitors to signal that they’d rather be killed than be taken prisoner, and it’s used today by traitors to say the same thing.

didn’t Parler have something like this, then their entire DB got hacked handed over to the FBI just after jan 6th, complete with hundreds of videos of the traitors committing crimes that they upload themselves? since Parler didn’t strip any metadata from uploaded media, the feds were able to use it all as evidence and use everyone’s IDs to tie it all to them.
I bet they arrested hundreds of people this way and used tons more of it at the various trials
