One of the reasons for the first amendment, and why the press is referred to as the fourth estate, is that private journalism is supposed to be another check against the government. We are now in a situation where the executive, the legislative, the judiciary, and the media all conspire against the will of the citizens.
What a vile cunt. Uses all the typical leftist tricks to attempt to shut him down. "You have a responsibility to do what propagated The Message. I'm not saying your can't tell the truth, I'm just saying don't tell the truth."
I've noticed that as well. Throwing in pop culture references and current slang rather than dialog of the relevant society, station, or time period.
Marvel movies made it quite obvious over their decade long run. It was particularly jarring for Thor and Loki's dialog. They started as regal characters, rulers of a planet, and they spoke like it. Over time, both of those characters started speaking like teenagers, their dialog consisted of internet memes strung together rather than the developed characters they started as.
That seems to be a feature of culture generally these days. People just quip memes and cultural references back and forth to one another rather than actually converse. I've caught myself doing it, and try to consciously avoid it, at least when having a meaningful conversation. To some extent that's just how communication and the conveyance of ideas works, but it's definitely a crutch and not very creative. Especially if you're trying to write something new. I guess that's the difference between art and "content", another word I have come to despise...
I never said it was society's responsibility to provide anything. Society also shouldn't actively shit on you either, when you're just trying to go about your business. When it does, can you blame someone for falling down?
It all started when he just wanted to sit down and rest, and a couple of of thugs decided he couldn't. All they had to do was leave him alone, but they couldn't do that.
It's about society using you, then crushing you when it can no longer use you. Dfens is a sympathetic figure people can identify with, an anti-hero for standing against that society. He killed the Nazi shop owner in self defense. The Nazi wanted someone who was lockstep in his opinions, the same kind of purity testing you're applying here by saying Falling Down isn't "based" enough for you, so you reject it entirely.
On top of the animation, modern pop music is shit. I've been noticing how chimp culture has affected everything. Lyrics, melodies, rhythms, everything has been dragged down to the lowest common denominator. And it's everywhere. All forms of entertainment are infested with crappy pop music: movies, TV, TV commercials, even theater. How many movies and musicals are "reimagining" an older work into a hip hop nightmare?
