In a shocking incident, horrific visuals are surfacing on the internet in which it can be seen that the Hamas militants are taking a semi-naked dead body of an Israeli woman on an open truck and parading in the city. It is said that the militants after attacking Israel are killing and taking the civilians as hostage. The militants took the dead bodies of the innocent civilians who were killed during the attack in open trucks and paraded them.

    Just saw Andor recently. Very interesting the parallel between Israel and the Empire. The issue is the overarching reach of Israel throughout the conflict that is only help breeding more radicals. And islamic martyrdom is just another factor that would serve as a cayalyst for more violence in the area. I’m impressed how long Israel defense held up.

        Lol, I pretty much react to this whenever I see people reference pop culture shit.

        It just doesn’t matter, and they’re usually trying to tell people “I enjoyed this thing, you should watch it too! It’s relevant I swear!”

          Which is almost as bad as the people who inevitably pop up exclaiming how they’re definitely way too cool to enjoy [thing that is currently popular]

                Yeah… you would think having higher standards is just ‘not being like other kids.’

        Tarkovski was able to make movies with overtly religious themes in the Soviet Union, because it was ‘just science fiction’.

        Andor is a tv show about more than just funny space aliens. So is Star Wars obviously, but Andor is properly good tv.

        Thankfully people thinking it’s ‘just a Disney show’ or ‘it’s just scifi’ is how stuff like this slips under the radar. See also: trans metaphor The Matrix, Starship Troopers equating right-wing American militarism with Nazi Germany, and V for Vendetta’s ambiguity on the ethics of terrorism.

            They didn’t kill Tarkovski, despite at one point viewing him as a subversive and dissident. He defected in 1979.

            Tarkovski is arguably one of the best and most influential directors of all time, but you don’t seem to know that much about him. Do you think you’re in a position to be a snob about what you consider a ‘mere Disney’ show?

            In my experience, real filmlovers aren’t snobs. Same goes for music, art, books, etc. Posers invariably are though. They pretend that they’re better than that, because they’re insecure and need to feel better about themselves.

                TIL. In my native language the ий in Тарковский (still?) becomes an i.

                Honestly, I wonder if they don’t just do it randomly. I volunteered with Ukrainians. I met brothers who had the same family name in cyrillic, but two different names in roman/latin script. They were in the same group, but didn’t follow each other in an alphabetic list of surnames. Wasn’t a y/i either. Think it was something at the beginning of the surname.

                IRC the Soviets used to use the French method of romanisation (for passports). So the ий became an i. I think at a certain point they started using an english system, in which the ий becomes a y.

                But if you google romanization of Russian and the Russian alphabet, you’ll still see that й can become an i, y, or even a j.

              I didn’t say killed I said would have.

              Andor is a mere Disney show, produced for profit and for the masses. I know who Tarkovsky is, I’ve read his book and watched his films. To compare Andor to his works is asinine.

              I’m not being a snob, I liked Andor. I dislike trying to compare real world tragedies and countries that aren’t Nazi Germany to Disney shows. Israel isn’t great but it’s not that level. This is an issue with people on the internet as a whole, they want to connect to recent tragic events and attempt to do so through whatever pop culture media just released. Is why I said the “hecking Star War moverino” and added the soyjack.
