I enjoyed Bullet Train and Equilibrium.

A much harder stipulation is that it needs to be below a 60% audience score, too. I haven’t found any there, yet, but it feels like it’s more in line with the idea that the movie needs to be unpopular.

I’ve been liking KBin a lot, I definitely recommend checking it out.

The beatings will continue until morale improves.

The sub’s older brother always gets to use the good controller.

I’m morbidly curious to see what the right-wing talking points will be about this, because it’s going to be an amazing exercise in mental gymnastics.

An authoritarian isn’t simply the person at the top, it is also all of the people who support them. Authoritarians like the comfort of being told what’s good and what’s bad. Life is simpler when those difficult moral choices are made for you and you free yourself of the responsibility of them. They don’t believe they’re at fault if those choices end up being disastrous because they were just following along, it wasn’t their idea after all.

Of course that’s all nonsense, but the point is that it’s a comfortable fiction which means it is very appealing to someone who is susceptible to that mindset.

While this is true, it’s sort of like being in a car accident. The other person may be in the wrong, but that doesn’t exactly unwreck your car.
