I hadn’t watched Film Brain in a while, so when I watched his review of Into Darkness I was shocked by how difficult it was to listen to without gouging my ears out.
The review itself was sloppy and underthought (as were most reviews of Into Darkness which take issue with Star Trek referencing itself but don’t bother to distinguish between an homage, a rip-off, and poor characterization and plotting, the latter two of which Into Darkness has in spades), but what really killed my enjoyment of it was the voice that Film Brain forced to an obnoxious degree. WHY?!?!?!?!?!?
Apparently a fan bullied him into using that fake voice.
Elderly Pakistani Man Stabbed To Death After Leaving Mosque In Birmingham
A 75-year-old man stabbed to death yards from his home may have been targeted in a racially motivated attack, according to police.
Mohammed Saleem, who used a walking stick, was stabbed three times in the back as he returned home from prayers at his local mosque in Small Heath, Birmingham, on Monday night.
The blows were struck with such violence they penetrated to the front of his body.
The father of seven also had no defensive wounds in what has been described as a swift, vicious and cowardly attack by the man leading the murder investigation, Detective Superintendent Mark Payne of West Midlands police.
Officers want to trace a white man, aged 25-32, of medium height and build, spotted on CCTV footage running near the scene of the attack around the time it happened, just before 10.30pm.
Police also want to trace a seven-seat people carrier captured on CCTV, driving near the mosque with the two male occupants, both white and in their 30s, who are considered “significant witnesses”.
In an emotional family appeal on Thursday, two of Saleem’s daughters, Shazia Khan, 45, and Nazia Maqsood, 44, called for the attackers to hand themselves in. They tearfully described their father as a “widely respected member of the community” and “much-loved”.
For just a minute, can we talk about how fucking broadcasted this would be if it was a Christian walking out of church?The dictionary definition of terrorism states it is “The unlawful use or threatened use of force or violence by a person or an organized group against people or property with the intention of intimidating or coercing societies or governments, often for ideological or political reasons.”
So why aren’t anti-Muslim or anti-immigrant attacks ever referred to as terrorist attacks? They seem to fit the dictionary definition perfectly.
thank you
Islamophobia kills.
Confession: I always kill the prisoner in the cage at Ostagar, because I can’t bear the thought of leaving him there to face the Darkspawn horde!
Whoa, never thought of that but you’re right! o_o
