Oh totally not, but that’s my point. If you are going to exploit those people, at least treat them with dignity before they go in front of the camera. Even Jerry Springer had at least the decency to pay for the flight, the hotel, the limo… before treating his guests like monkeys for his show. Not that it would excuse it, but it would appear a tad more humane.

That’s the thing, I totally get why people say he’s a sociopath cause even though he’s fucking rich, he can’t even pay for an hotel room for the participants. I have a feeling their belongings were taken so they would not have to deal with people stealing each other’s stuff, which would have been wayyy less likely if people got their own room. I highly doubt it’s that much cheaper to rent a fucking stadium, buying 2000 sleeping bags, paying for portable toilets, etc. than to rent a whole cheap hotel or motel.

He really wanted those participants to be desperate for that money. “At least if I get to the end, all that crap before will be worth it”. It’s disgusting… He’s not considering those people as humans but as cattle.

This reads like another Fyre Festival. Just when I thought my opinion of him could not get lower.

Thanks for that, wanted to do that little spoiler thing but was not able to do so hahaha

You should see the French title…

THANK YOU ! I was feeling like I was alone with this point of view…

It is possible for someone with two X chromosomes to still be colorblind, but since this gene is recessice you have to have the mutation on both chromosomes, which makes it way more rare.

Yeah I don’t think they enjoy it that much…

Also, the argument of “but what about the exploited workers in the fields ?” is one of the weakest that’s always thrown around. Do they realy think that everyone working for the meat industry are all treated fairly ? All those fields of corn/soy that are used to feed the livestock, guess what, they also need workers.

Also, this is indeed not even an unpopular opinion. Vegans/vegetarians are all around some of the most hated groups of individuals. Source : https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/1368430215618253

Really interesting concept you brought up, did not know that law and yes it makes perfect sense.

And I totally get your point, but it is still an issue to me considering that she wanted to keep the audience hooked as they aged. As someone put it in another comment, in the first book, Harry is eleven, it appeals to kids ~11 y.o, and so on. But, and I speak personnaly, by the fifth book it was already too disjointed for 15 y.o. me. Her books are like a Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure book/episode, but without all the corny humor and the self-awarness that makes it fun.

You brought up a really good example of a fantasy world with boundaries by mentionning Tolkien. It is heavily insinuated in the LOTR books that “magic” is not “endless posibilities magic”, it has more to do with special aptitudes and/or knowledge depending on the race (like elves or wizards). It’s not like Gandalf can just snap a finger and transform someone into a chicken. I know it limits what you can do with your world but in the case of HP it opens the door to endless plot holes and contradictions.

Yeah I am pretty sure this is the intention of the writers. Showing yourself naked to your subordinate is not “homoerotism”, it’s harassment.

I’ve had the 2× spicy. Honnestly the reason they should be recalled is for their quantity of salt. My mouth was burning more because of that than the spiciness.

Thanks for clarifying. Totally agree.

It’s easy to point the finger at China when so many products the western world consumes is manufactured there.

SPOILER ALERT Not that big of a twist (let’s say not the 6th sense kind), but the trailer showed the part at the end where the antagonist has his big transformation. And it was half the trailer. The whole movie slowly builds up to that moment, I thought it was a poor choice to show it. It made it look like half the movie was that when it is only the culmination of everything that happened before.

Thanks, corrected it !

Perfect albums that come to mind :

Pink Floyd - Animals

Depeche Mode - Violator

Fleetwood Mac - Rumours

Dire Straits - Dire Straits

Curtis Mayfield - Superfly

Daft Punk - Discovery

Iron Maiden - Seventh Son of a Sseventh Son

Death - Symbolic

Rush - Moving Pictures

This album is one of the greatest album OAT in my book, like top 5. A perfect album with no dulls, one of the best exemples of what a 10/10 is.

I saw a version of the trailer for Split (2016) that revealed the plot twist. I was glad I already saw the movie, but my parents did not watch it because of that.
