I watched the video on You Tube and it gave me such a boner I had to put on the crucifixion scene from Passion Of The Christ to calm down. That did'nt work and I ended up whacking off to the bit where the Romans hit Jesus with hammers. This song should be banned.

Empowering for women?! Are you KIDDING??!! This is THE most feminist, sex positive, LGBQIA+-inclusive track EVER!!!!!!! The haterz are just butthurt, white-male boomer conservatives who are afraid of BAME womxn of all genders.

Amen, sister! I bet Trump's quaking in his boots right now. The lesson here is you don't grab the pussy, the pussy grabs YOU!

RussiaBot1917 - August 17, 18:53
If it's meant to be so empowering to women why is the video full of lesbian action? Answer: it's designed for teenage boys to choke the chicken to. Wake up and smell the corporate coffee, sheeple.

(((They))) are promoting non-procreational sex to eliminate us from the gene pool.

Biden2020 - August 17, 19:12

@RainbowPrincess456: TERF bitch.

RainbowPrincess456 - August 17, 19:46
How am I a TERF?

KarenKilla - August 17, 19:51
It's LGBTQIA+ not LGBQIA+. Don't you recognise Trans people in your evil, cis-privileged world, or do you want to have them all wiped out like the gender absolutist little feminazi you obviously are?

RainbowPrincess456 - August 17, 20:02
That was a typo. It wasn't intentional. I have nothing but love and respect for the Trans community. I'm so sorry if I offended you. I really didn't mean to upset anyone. From now on I will proof read all my comments before posting them to make sure they are as inclusive as they can possibly be.

Biden2020 - August 17, 20:04
Don't worry about it! We all make mistakes :)

KarenKilla - August 17, 20:07
@RainbowPrincess456: Spare us your tears of privilege, TERF. People like you are worse than a thousand Hitler's.

BLM4EVA1865 - August 17, 20:11
@RainbowPrincess456: And it's not BAME, it's BIPOC. Educate yourself, you race-baiting fuck.

Biden2020 - August 17, 20:14
@RainbowPrincess456: Thinking about it, I find your blatent transphobia and racism deeply upsetting. You should be ashamed of yourself.

KarenKilla - August 17, 20:23
@RainbowPrincess456: If I ever find out your real name, where you live and what you look like I'm coming round to unload both barrels of a shotgun in your face, you sick, evil bitch. BELIEVE.

JUstinBieberLover3988864592 - August 17, 21:57
i jus watched it on you tube with the sound down so mom wudnt hear. its ok but its no blurred lines

"Are you a sad, lonely individual obsessed with conspiracy theories and Schwarzenegger movies? Then why not try the Bellingcat social network? Just log onto our website and we'll hook you up with other sub-xenophobic, warmongering bastards who have next to no understanding of global politics or how journalism actually works. Who knows? In no time at all YOU could find yourself on the advisory panel of a reactionary, NATO-sponsored think tank developing hypothetical military strategies that bring us closer to World War III! So visit Bellingcat.org today to let your warped world view and social malaise endanger the lives of everyone on the planet."

Trivial Shit That Really Pisses Me Off (AKA: 'It's a Conspiracy, I Tells Ya...')

DVD has long been a godsend for fans of world cinema, especially when the films you're interested in watching have either failed to pick up theatrical distribution in your country or are unavailable via streaming services. Having said that, it's not very reassuring to find the people responsible for marketing these home media releases either have absolutely no awareness of the content of the films they're trying to promote, or - and this is more likely - are quite happy to mislead undiscerning DVD hounds with cover art that bears very little relation to the flicks they're pushing in the hope of making a quick buck. (As a fan of German and Russian cinema, I find this tends to be a regular feature of my consumer life.) I therefore present some examples of this ignorant and, dare I say it, underhanded practice in the vain hope that someone at Entertainment One, Metrodome or the otherwise excellent Arrow Video is actually reading this.

Bring on the accused...

Gagarin: First in Space - DVD release

For some reason, the Entertainment One DVD shows Gagarin as a combination of Keir Dullea wandering around the Regency-era bedroom in '2001: A Space Odyssey', Sandra Bullock holding on for dear life in 'Gravity' and John Hurt about to be orally-raped in 'Alien'. The original theatrical poster may be a little clichéd with its profile shot of Yaroslav Zhalin staring into eternity, but at least it's trying to be awe-inspiring rather than suggesting - somewhat cynically, I think - that the first human being's journey into space was, well, a bit boring.

2. Anonyma: A Woman in Berlin - theatrical poster

Max Färberböck's adaptation of 'Eine Frau in Berlin', based on the anonymous memoirs of a female journalist caught between sexual violence and emotional dependency in the dying days of the Second World War, was immediately controversial upon its release in Germany, and it doesn't require a doctorate in philosophy to understand why. Although it may not be the most sophisticated of films to deal with this subject matter, it's still a very powerful meditation on identity and gender politics that's still horribly relevant wherever women are caught in warzones and forced to compromise themselves, either against their will or to guarantee the safety of the people they love.

Anonyma: A Woman in Berlin - DVD release

"Fuck that: let's put Nina Hoss in a beret and make it look like an espionage thriller instead! While we're at it, we'll make that bloke stood next to her look like a Nazi of some kind. It's all right, no one'll know he's from the Red Army - unless they're the sort of sad bastards who watch the History Channel. And why don't we stick a bunch of planes in the background? Everyone loves an aerial dogfight. Actually, we could do with changing the title, too. What was that really good flick that came out a few years ago called? You know - the one about Hitler in the bunker?"
