5 Feet of Fury

We have reached peak Guardian! I repeat: PEAK Guardian

I called it too early before.

Perhaps in ironic “what the fuck” “celebration” of their loss statement, this morning we read…

One added benefit from bringing things closer to the audience is an end to villains designated by dodgy, expedient notions of otherness: blatant racism such as London Has Fallen’s Arab terrorist stereotypes is rare now.

Oh, and on the topic of cliches:

Nurse Ratched is my hero.

But at the Guardian, another unconvincing case made by a man (of course) that Nurse Ratched is a villain.

Hey, Nicholson’s character isn’t a “petty criminal” — he’s a statutory rapist. And once again, this indictment boils down to “woman does her thankless job, isn’t nice to malingering males and I don’t find her sexually attractive, so she’s a bitch.”

In the “feminist” Guardian, no less.

Because, like the lady said, “I’ve been married to a capitalist, and I’ve been married to a Communist, and neither one of them would take out the garbage.”
