A mild copyright violation based on a system designed around the constant distribution of copies of things is NOT a parable about sexual violence, people.

I feel like this extremely insensitive rape take is the fediverse's version of the Godwin Law.

I'm verbose mode.

OP posted to a movies community about Tom Cruise's narrative troubles, and how he changed them in the eye of the public.

Your comment recommends two movies that don't have anything to do with Cruise, and a third, from 1988, with Cruise decades prior to his narrative issues.

You didn't offer an explanation of why we should watch the movies, or even mention that Cruise was in the third, which is odd since you mentioned stars from the others. It came off as you ordering us to watch unrelated movies that don't have anything to do with the article.

That just makes it feel very out of place. A recommendation list even with Tom in one of the movies feels like a sort of social non-sequitor in this type of thread.

That gives a similar kind of energy that a dad trying to search for celluloid clitorist couplings has when he mistakenly types into Facebook before confidently hitting Post.

Had you said:

"Tom Cruise was excellent in The Color of Money which was a sequel to the wildly successful and excellent The Hustler staring Paul Newman, and despite Cruise's personal issues later in his career I recommend everyone see both films! Also watch The Sting if you enjoy Newman's performance in The Hustler since he's excellent in both."

Or something like that, we would have all followed your thought train from the article.

I love movie suggestions and I am pretty sure those movies you recommended are great classics, but your comment was giving big "google for lesbian porn" Facebook post energy...

You're not my real dad!

If I haven't seen the first 9, will I understand the plot of ROG Ally X?

Why bother with that? If you need shoes to dissolve, regardless of the materials, just subject them to my foot sweat for a few months.

It still failed to hit projected box office returns with that factored in!

It's just funny because it's a good movie and the first one won an academy award but is terrible.

And they won it for writing "damaged" on Joker's forehead... at least in part.

Fun fact, The Suicide Squad (2021) was a box office flop, whereas Suicide Squad (2016), the only academy award winning DCEU film, was a box office smash hit!

Kids out of college who are grateful that they're being given a chance to follow their passion don't think they have collective bargaining power, and the people who stay in the industry tend to do so because they enjoy pain.

The fediverse has a built-in search engine?

I can only comment on my experience searching for communities in lemmy and people to follow on mastadon, but in both cases I am not sure I'd say "works quite well" would describe my experience.

But also that's not what I think OP was talking about.

They want a search engine for a random fact like google. It's been long true that you need to add "reddit" to the end of any google search to find the info you needed.

It'd be nice to have a fediverse alternative.

Well, by now they've probably seen all the films.

If it happened a long time ago in a galaxy far far away and has made it to our backwater planet, then it must be pretty widely popular.
