@ItsMeMTJohnson @am_monarchist Then why respond with this as if the show is going to teach people about the the very political alliances you mentioned

MT Johnson@ItsMeMTJohnson

@bananamorphs @am_monarchist No. The point of history class is to learn about history. You know, that little skirmish called WW2 that shaped political alliances and policies for the next 100ish years..... 🙄

No we shouldn’t be showing an entire HBO series in high school history classes.

Band of Brothers should be standard viewing in high school history classes across the country.

@ItsMeMTJohnson @am_monarchist Sure band of brothers is a good show, but there is a limited amount of class time, an even more limited amount of time that can be devoted to ww2, and the things this show has to teach are frankly irrelevant compared to that

@ItsMeMTJohnson @am_monarchist And do you think the experience of the soldiers portrayed in Band of Brothers is a better way of doing that than discussing *why* the war was happening and why it unfolded how it did?

DISCLOSURE DAY is Steven Spielberg's 2nd consecutive film to top-bill a woman, after THE FABELMANS. Martin Scorsese & Christopher Nolan could never.

Under new military guidance from Pete Hegseth, the LDS Church is officially classified as a non-Christian religion. My fellow Saints, you can love these Christian nationalists all you want, but they will not love you back. military.com/dod-officially…

@decrepitzoomer @thamosdeaf Bergman is among the 10 most important directors in the history of cinema

English

deaf kennedys@thamosdeaf·2d

As somebody who has seen ~30 Bergman films and owns the big Bergman set and the original run Taschen Archives, this feels like an opinion two decades out of step. Nobody really fucks with Bergman like that now.

@newyorkugly @ChristerEm @scottyDunham3 If this guy has never even heard of a movie which came out this year and stars MATT DAMON and BEN AFFLECK, it is safe to assume that his opinion on the quality of new releases is worthless because he isn’t watching them

English

Dustin Mendel@newyorkugly·1d

@ChristerEm @scottyDunham3 Don't you think The Rip being his top pick colors the argument he's making? Just because you share his conclusion, that doesn't necessarily make his argument a good one.

Does anyone disagree with this? Seriously?

Auteur House@auteurhouse

Quentin Tarantino recently told Sight and Sound magazine that he considers the current decade the worst period for cinema he has ever experienced. The director said that many contemporary films leave him with a sense of "contempt" for the medium and admitted that he has lately found greater pleasure in reading books than watching movies. Here is his full statement: “I loved going to the movies. These days, however, the concept of what is a movie is more inclined to inspire contempt in me than generosity. Which is fair enough, because by comparison the movies of the last six years make the ‘80s seem like the ‘30s. I’ve seen movies I’ve liked since then — “West Side Story (2021); “Horizon: An American Saga — Chapter 1 & 2,” a few others, but nothing that really held me in its grip, and swept me away fo to the magical land of enjoyment that I used to visit and was the reason why I loved movies above all artforms. These days I’d rather read a book. However, a new movie has now come out that did grab me and held me for its entire duration: Joe Carnahan’s “The RIP,” starring the dynamic duo of Matt Damon and Ben Affleck.”

The funny thing about Livy is that anyone who has actually read all of the Livy we have, instead of just the early legends (and had any sense), wouldn't make this statement - they'd be aware how uncertain Livy is early on and how different he is for periods where he has facts. 1/

Roman Helmet Guy@romanhelmetguy

Can’t believe I have to say this, but no, Livy did not just make all of Roman history up, and yes, you should absolutely read Livy and learn from it, despite every classicist on here telling you otherwise.
