Oh my fucking god. Did just create this account to tweet me this? 🤣🤣🤣
Replying to @dosnostalgic
Holy hell. Someone just created an account to tweet me a link to a YouTube video that kept explaining how D-Fens was right to do what he did for 17 minutes. The video had over 200,000 views, and you can only imagine what kind of a cesspool the comments were. Jesus Christ 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Replying to @dosnostalgic
From the video: "Once again, in a stunning lack of self-awareness, this film that is supposed to be sympathetic to disenfranchised white men..." Oh, buddy, you were SO CLOSE. So fucking close, man. 😂
Replying to @digitalcrap2 and @sehugg
The guy who trashed the store. Vote with your wallet. Can't believe you created yet another account. Fuck off. 🤣
Replying to @emii_iime
That's good, but honestly the Ebert review already gets the job done
Replying to @luisfmercado
I think that might have been easier to do in that particular region as a lot of D-Fens's targets aren't white. But props to your distributors. That didn't happen in my country.
Replying to @luisfmercado
For sure. But then again, Americans didn't even get such in your face satire as Starship Troopers. Feels like the audiences just might not be receptive to satire if it's not portrayed in an extremely negative way.

Время есть, а денег нет, и в гости некуда пойти.
Watching a new Russian film "Summer" which is a musical loosely based on real events that took place in the early 80s USSR, and I'm really not feeling it. I think the concept is great, but the film itself is just so... cold. I haven't felt a single emotion & I'm an hour in.
Replying to @dosnostalgic
Oh no, they are doing an awful cover of All the Young Dudes, and I don't think I can watch the rest of it. 🤢
Replying to @grulgh
Making a cold musical is an achievement in itself, I guess.
Replying to @fkebld
I'm not watching a Soviet film, I'm watching a modern Russian film. And The Mirror is one of my favorite films of all time.

Well, I'm glad that's over. Good night, everyone.
