    Oh, cool, Moviepass has made it so that not only can you not buy gift subs (which I already knew), you also can't just buy the monthly rate! You have to buy the full year up front. Which was not the case when I first planned to use them as a prize. What a pain.

  • minor incidentminor incident expert in a dying field njRegistered User regular
    No more monthly payment options? And they got rid of gift subs that they just announced a couple months ago? WTF, Moviepass?

    Ah, it stinks, it sucks, it's anthropologically unjust
  • Goose!Goose! That's me, honey Show me the way home, honeyRegistered User regular
    They said gift subs were only for the holidays. And now that they're offering $7.95/month if you sign up for a year, I guess they're pushing that.

    I haven't watched Shape of Water all the way through, but in the course of theater working, I walked in on the one scene where
    the cat is being eaten and, despite having no context, I hold a fierce grudge against Mr. Fishman for doing that. Don't even care if the rest of the movie is the most wonderful amazing Best Picture of 2017, boo to killing and devouring pet cats.

    That scene cost the movie a lot of godwill from the girlfriend.

    The retroactive worst part of the Oscars is Taraji P. Henson clarifying that her red carpet thing with Seacrest was meant as a "keep your chin up" gesture and that she "absolutely" supports him after the sexual harassment allegations.

    It's pretty weird that people generally don't give a shit about depictions of violence towards cats but there are entire websites cataloguing dog violence so people can avoid those movies entirely.

    It definitely left me feeling a little sour on shape of the water, and added some uncomfortable questions about the central relationship

    Those websites catalog violence against any non-human animals, generally

    I don't get that sense from mainstream media at all. I think the context in the film is entirely different than a human just hurting a cat.

    The scene in Shape of Water was definitely rough but
    It didn't make me question their relationship.

    He clearly didn't realize the cat was a pet,
    As that concept was probably entirely alien to him and I would imagine small animals=food out in the Amazon, but as soon as it became apparent that Richard Jenkins loved that animal the fish man was super apologetic and tried to make it up to him.

    yeah, I don't think it's "unable to know better" but instead "ignorant of why that wouldn't be acceptable"

    the name for the website 'Does the Dog Die' was mostly chosen for alliteration purposes, and will accept submissions of pretty much any form of animal abuse. I'm pretty sure everything is user submitted though, so it may be missing some

    I just don't agree, there's entire movies about dogs and how sad it is when they die, with cats it's almost a joke.

    Do you think this scene plays the same if it's a dog? Would the characters weirdly laughing it off with a shrug have happened?

    I think that the way Richard Jenkins’s character reacted to other things in the film he absolutely would’ve reacted the same way.

    Hmm ok that's a fair point
    I think generally the movie needed a greater display of intelligence, it didn't really act beyond what a smart primate could be taught to do, i think the movie ended up in a pretty murky area regarding consent

    I really can't think of a single instance in which a cat being genuinely hurt was played off for laughs. That scene itself wasn't even played off for laughs in Shape of Water, the later reactions to fishman's mistake were the only humor.

    Oh no I mean, how would audiences react seeing Jenkin's reaction if it was a dog?

    There's a comedy (can't remember the name) where one of the running "gags" is a cat getting abused horribly and repeatedly (for example, there's a scene where the cat overdoses on cocaine that's been left out.) At the end, the couple adopts the cat saying it has X number of lives left (where X equaled 9 - the number of "gags".)
