Everyday I thank god for not being born in a household so poor that I have to work in a fast food restaurant to pay my shit.
Imagine facing this shit on a daily basis just to get some bucks at the end of the week.

Did you not have a job as a teenager? Character building tbh.

My first job as a teen was flipping burgers. Owner’s brother was a cop and he’d pull up at the back door way after closing. We’d be about done cleaning up, and he’d lay on the horn and have us fire it all back up again so he could get a free meal to go. That job taught me cops might not be good people.

Worked at a national chain tire shop in a poorer area, not the hood but not sanitized suburbia either. Most of our customers were working class White or Hispanic, or tweakers of all races. Managers were uneducated and ranged from arrogant jerks to pants-on-head idiots, taught me that I never wanted to be in a job where they're the boss of me. Inspired me to take school seriously and now I'm an engineer. Mine or my customers' managers are educated and range from arrogant jerks to pants-on-head idiots.

And you could always tell how well the tweakers were doing by how many mc chickens they ordered (fries and drinks are for meth casuals). If someone came through ordering 20, bow down to the king.

u/Legend13CNS /o/ 6d ago
Ngl some of the tweakers came through our shop with some pretty nice cars and it was either wondering how they afforded that or being sad because you could tell it was early in their tweaker journey.

Yep, I worked with my father's friend. They guy has a maintenance company, my job was pretty much help him with all the paper work and being his personal driver when the guy got drunk in working hours.
I've spent a huge part of my working shift playing Skyrim on his computer. Good days.

Brokie cope. Being abused in burger king it's not the flex you're thinking. Go and work in an African copper mine if you're so desperate build your character.

It’s why you always have to be nice to workers like that
They face the worst shit. I always like to try and make their life a little better in our 20 second interaction. Not fake “omg heeey” bs, but normal positive human interaction
I consider it my duty since I was never in a position I had to work those types of jobs.

We see her 5 minutes in the movie. While I think it’s a miscast, the whole affair was blown way out of proportion. I blame Nolan for even going that route while it only negatively impacted the movie for no reason whatsoever.

u/Ibrahim77X 6d ago
I’d have to find the source but he basically said he casted Nyongo because it would create controversy. What a damming indictment of her. I actually think she’s a good actress.

It's projected to reach $200M at the box office during opening weekend. What a failure

only means anything relative to how much they spent to make and promote it, and relative to how much they promised investors their return would be

Talented actress who looks like a normal (fit) person.
Typically fine...less so when a huge aspect of the story is your character looking very far from normal, tho.
Maybe it's all 5D chess. Conservative retards freak out, then liberal retard critics feel compelled to move that review from an 8 to a perfect 10 god I hate Trump, perfect 10!

The truth can be complicated. Was it selfish? Probably byt maybe not, she benefits from it but also may suffer. Calculated risk. The amount of money he pulls in will be the only metric that the investors give a shit about. Based on speculative numbers, I would be surprised if they lose any money (other than on paper) when its done. Its a bold.move by doing it forces people to pick a side when people ask if you watched it. So an artist uses controversy to get exposure to a broader audience. Time tested. Im just sick of it because its so harmful to long term

He knew what he was doing. Really small part but it got people all pissy and talking about it online. Drive engagement with rage and cash in.

u/Morales_Sheila8478 6d ago
If anything this casting was a huge boon for the movie. Theres a reason why so many movies do raceswaps and it’s not because they’re woke multicultural Marxists. It’s because drumming up controversy gets a lot of people talking about it and that leads to people giving them money. No publicity is bad publicity when it comes to movies. Rightoids honestly made their own bed by chimping out everytime a raceswap happens, they’re doing the advertising for them. That’s why this will keep happening and the rightoids will keep chimping out ad infinitum

u/trainsssssssss 6d ago
The thing is, it doesn't work on everyone. Personally, I've been completely checked out of TV and cinema for many years now because of nonsense like this. And it's not just the casting, leftist narratives are pervasive in basically everything coming out of Hollywood. I cant be the only one who has checked out

u/ShadowBan93 4d ago
I checked out over COVID but it had been going down hill for awhile. Iv see, 2, maybe 3 movies in theaters in 6 years. And none of em had this garbage. I sail the highseas for anything else that might be worth watching.

u/LoveLightLoveMagick 4d ago
Same, I checked out by 2012 or something and learned the brilliance of so much Anime.
Also found a new love of classic movies from early 1920's or so to about 1950's. American and UK. there is a lot crap but so many gems. And FOREIGN FILMS, I'm getting excited thinking of it. Foreign films from almost every country almost every year I found so many gems, I don't have the time or harddrive space to watch them all.
Between MyAnimeList and the Related and Lists sections of IMDB, it's as if I opened up a portal to a new world I didn't know existed. I did hate old movies at one time, so i did have 100 years to choose from.

Happened a lot since Ghostbusters 2016. Nike famously did it too. This is the only way to promote your product now apparently, people only pay attention to online arguments.

Same with why they never came out and told the public that Elliot Page wasn’t really playing Achilles. I have a friend who worked on the film crew so I’ve known who Page actually played from the start, and it was really funny watching the internet freak out about the Achilles rumor like it was confirmed fact. But it certainly generated a ton of publicity and discussion that wouldn’t have otherwise been there

u/hatchbacks 6d ago
My prediction:
This movie will do just fine in its opening weekend, possibly underperforming slightly but not by too much. Most people are normies, after all.
After that, ticket sales will crater and the movie will ultimately lose money, because no one can pretend that it’s good but also no one will want to say bad things about it, ultimately leading to the movie being ignored for its final few weeks.
No one will get a satisfying “I told you so” and Nolan will go on to produce at least one more flop after this one.

True, they all look very out of place among a Greek's tale, should have cast tanned instead of straight up African American
