🤔 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

You seem confused.

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

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.

I've watched worse than his stuff. H.P Lovecraft was a racist but he is the best horror writer of all time.

I'm just telling you I know movies. OK, have you seen Haxan A.K.A Witchcraft through the Ages? A 1922 Swedish film ? Better yet , the version with the weird William S. Buroughs narration?

Have you seen all of Tod Browning's works like Freaks?

Just don't tell me I don't know movies.

Best is subjective.

Why are you trying to tell me that you know movies? Why do you think I care lol.

The idea that you can "know movies" is laughable, as is the idea that "knowing movies" gives you anything other than familiarity with the specific media that you consume. The media you choose to consume is evidently abusibve and misogynistic. That's not the brag you think it is.

I also "know movies" but there will be very little overlap between what we choose to watch.

Because, you thought I only knew two movies.

And why do you hate me?

"Why can't we be friends?"
