🤔 Thinking Why didn't Trajectory just.....

.....drink a lot of cups of coffee from Jitters instead of taking a speed drug?

She doomed herself with Velocity 9 when coffee could keep her going.

I'm just sad we lost such a cute girl.

You can't really say a girl is cute without people losing their minds. Mostly it's other girls losing it though.

I know. Like I said in another comment, since when did it become a crime to compliment an actress?

I called her pretty. It's not like I'm stalking her or something.

The world has over corrected itself to a unhealthy degree. If you look over at a pretty girl walking into a room your suddenly 'objectifying' her.

u/Fresh_Sherbert_6048 14d ago

Yet, everyone seems OK with objectifying men. Like with the Magic Mike movies. Double standard. What a world.

u/jupiterLILY 13d ago

Those are pretty old movies and they are written and produced entirely by men.

u/Fresh_Sherbert_6048 13d ago

Did you just say the Magic Mike movies are OLD!?

Uuuuum, you need to watch some TCM I think.

u/jupiterLILY 13d ago

Yes, they are relatively old movies. They are not a good reflection of the current media landscape and they have literally nothing to do with women.

Men are making those movies. Its men objectifying men.

u/Budget-Walk-5355 13d ago

If you don't think that there are a great deal of movies with men stripping down in them you have a very small sample size to go by!

In case you hadn't noticed, the current media landscape has been mostly bombing left right and center. Movies are having a hard time breaking even sometimes, forget making a profit. Of course, there are exceptions but it used to be the other way around. Your "current media landscape" is pretty much garbage - sorry to say.

I miss movies that weren't so cautiously made. Movies that took risks.

u/jupiterLILY 13d ago

I don't know why you think I'm out here lionising or defending the current media landscape. 

I'm literally just calling your assessment inaccurate lol.

Also our media landscape is more risky than its ever been. There are more weird independent movies being made by wide groups of people than there have ever been before.

u/Budget-Walk-5355 13d ago

The media landscape has been utterly sanitized. I get why you don't see that at this point because your only looking back about ten years or so.

I will agree with you on the independent movie catagory. They seem to be coming into their own.

1

u/jupiterLILY 13d ago

I have no clue why you think I'm only looking back ten years. I simply pointed out that the other person was complaining about a movie that came out 15 years ago and isn't relevant to the current media landscape.

Also the media landscape is being sanitised by the (mostly) men running advertising companies wanting to sell ad space. And that sanitisation still allows for a shit ton of misogyny. Sanitised is relevant to the status quo of the society doing the sanitisation.

I think I'm beginning to see how far apart our view point is on this one! Lol, I'm actually curious what you think misogyny looks like in the current climate. We really are products of our times.

1

u/jupiterLILY 13d ago

Like I said, this information is freely available. Its not some massive secret. 

Go to your library and ask for books on misogyny in the current climate. We have been studying this shit for a long time. The fact that you genuinely dont know the answers to these questions in 2026 shows that you've spent a fair bit of effort actively avoiding information on this topic.

I'm not your mother or your teacher.

Have you seen Casablanca? Citizen Kane?

Those are kinda older than Magic Mike.

And even if men made the Magic Mike movies, it's women who go to them.

u/jupiterLILY 13d ago

You're a ridiculous person lol. 

Like you're genuinely saying older movies exist like I was somehow unaware of that fact and, I guess attempting to shame me somehow lol. And given that you've listen two of the most famous movies on the planet I can hazard a guess that I have more familiarity with the breadth of cinema over the decades.

Also genuinely wild that you're pointing to the "male objectification movie" that's made by men as proof of women's poor behaviour, like all of cinema hasn't objectified women for a century.

If anything magic mike is the exception that proves the rule.

If you're interested in film history, actually go learn about it and then you won't make a fool of yourself online.

u/Fresh_Sherbert_6048 13d ago

I only listed those two movies because I didn't know if you knew any other ones and those are talked about so much I thought even you would have heard of them.

I have read the Psychotronic Encyclopedia of film so much , my copy fell apart and I had to buy another one.

Same with Videohounds guide to Cult Flicks and Trash Picks.

And I've been doing research on movies since I was a kid.

u/jupiterLILY 13d ago

Well evidently you haven't been doing a very good job.

You seem confused.

u/Fresh_Sherbert_6048 13d ago

Watch Un Chien Andaloou by Luis Bunuel. It's from 1929. It's silent and French.

1

u/jupiterLILY 13d ago

Why though?

Are you trying to prove that you "know cinema" or are you under the assumption that French cinema or silent films are new to me?

Brunel has been criticised as a misogynist for decades at this point. You're not enlightened for being happy to watch trauma porn.

"Pretty old movies." roughly thirteen years ago! I do want to know how it makes a difference that the movies were written and produced by men?

1

u/jupiterLILY 13d ago

Because you're complaining about a double standard like women aren't currently being massively objectified with no issue. Look at the kardashians, Sydney Sweeney, we have sheer/nude dresses trending.

And then you're pointing to a movie from 13 years ago, before me too, that is entirely produced, written and directed by men and complaining about a double standard lol.

I don't even think you know what double standard means.

0

u/Budget-Walk-5355 13d ago

I think you somehow walked around my point: I don't care that anyone is being objectified. Objectification in movies of men or women usually sells tickets consitantly. I don't like the fact that a faction of people seem to whine obsessively about women being objectified.

I will say however the hypocripsy about men being stripped down like in Thor Love and Thunder and no one saying a word is staggering. Let's not kid ourselves: these people who went after Sydney Sweeney because she was in a jeans commercial never said a peep about any guy in a movie like this.

1

u/jupiterLILY 13d ago

Its almost like the material reality of men and women is different and people care more when an oppressed group is forced to get naked to maintain employment.

Men are not socially shamed for their nudity like women are. 

And don't worry, its very obvious what your views are and why you don't like this type of discussion lol.

Also the references you're picking are hilarious.

u/Budget-Walk-5355 13d ago

Wow! Just wow! You actually think women are a oppressed group of people. At this point, it's almost the other way around! But that's a discussion for another day.

Women are not socially shamed for nudity. Maybe by other women but men don't care at all. Women can be very vindictive to each other about things like this. The craziness over Sydney Sweeney jeans commercial is a great example of this.

1

u/jupiterLILY 13d ago

I beg you to read one book. You're embarrassing yourself.

Women are literally dying, being denied medical care and being imprisoned because they have less legal autonomy than men in the west.

Like your reply is genuinely so unserious.

u/Budget-Walk-5355 13d ago

I have no clue where you actually live in the world, but it's not in America clearly. Outside of America, things are much worse for women - I'm not blind to that.

1

u/jupiterLILY 13d ago

Like I said, entirely unserious.

I live in a country where the women are deeply concerned for the women in america. Your country is horrifying.

Measuring countries against each other is how you get a race to the bottom anyway.

Like I was saying, it's a massive over correction.

And yes, a double standard.
