But would studios still greenlight the script?

Its still a great movie and no I dont think Mike Meyers would intentionally write hurtful material, I just think some of the jokes definitely hit differently now.

That is partly for opsec reasons.

Forcing potential “unauthorised personnel” to constantly be sourcing new uniforms is a legitimate method to add another layer of difficulty to gaining access. The people who really give a shit will notice if you’re wearing out of date uniforms.

Punching Basils mother for looking like a man did make me think “Yeah, doubt they would do that one now.”

I mean, art isnt created in a vacuum. I suppose I’m watching it through the lense of someone who isnt 13 too.

I dont think any of them became bad jokes but I definitely think some of the jokes are a bit more “potentially offensive” today than just lighthearted fun.

What was on the radio when Princess Diana had her accident?

Her forehead.

The truth these days is that damn near every car has reasons why you shouldnt buy it.

The Germans are still fraudulently trading on their rep from the 80s, the French are always being different just for the fucking hell of it wether the customer likes it or not, the Italians love needing bespoke tools for simple jobs, everything British is now chinese or german, the Americans would be burned at the stake for suggesting the next model be smaller, Japans “reliability” rep is mostly being upheld by Toyota and Honda who charge accordingly, China is coming along in leaps and bounds but still cant figure out “supply chain logistics” for spare parts and Korea just keeps dropping the fucking ball over dumb simple shit.

People ask me all the time “What do you think about CAR” and Ive honestly resorted to “If you like it, buy it. Ive known people with reliable Fiats and unreliable Toyotas. The only unhappy people are the ones who bought a car they didnt WANT.”

What the french DID for food historically cannot be understated, but times change.

Because when its good, its so fucking good. They spend literal millions developing their menu to give you a dropkick to the balls of dopamine. FAT! SALT! MSG! HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP! REPEAT!

But that requires the stars to align. You need the buns and salad items to not be stale, the chips and meat for the burger to be hot and fresh, the burger to be assembled by someone giving half a fuck, the postmix machine to be set up correctly and give you the right mix, actually fizzy and ice cold. You rarely get the whole meal “just right” but when it is, that one perfect meal sticks in your brain like a catchy song and will carry you through the next half a dozen so-so feeds while you chase the dragon.

These days I only allow myself one trip to KFC a month and I go in and sit down in the restaurant because if something isnt right I go complain and ask for a remake because I spend 29 days a month counting every calorie and tracking every macro because you are not gonna fuck up my blowout meal.

I think you got what I meant twisted.

Its sad that thats where American thinking HAS to go because America had 69 victims and 12 shooters dead in 300+ incidents last year. Australia has had 6 incidents and 2 deaths since 1991 and our schools have fences too.

Theres dozens of reasons outside of shootings that schools may want to control access and yeah it does look like a prison and it is sad.

“Well… there goes LTT…”

Yeah but in 4 years unless Trump tries to go full Putin thats going to matter.

Vance doesnt have the cult of personality behind him.

See the sad thing is that almost your entire thoughts on this is centered around school shootings. Theres tons of other reasons schools might put up fences but to Americans kids deciding to ditch school and get into shit or getting themselves hurt or parents with custody disputes trying to gain access to their child when they shouldnt are just minor concerns.

I love the clip of that, watch Lukes eyes go as wide as dinner plates.

I genuinely believe that the best case scenario for America is that it all goes to shit SO FAST that even his most ardent supporters have to say “No, this is fucked. He needs to go.”
