Poor Things should have won best picture

[Insipid]

I just watched it and I don't remember the last time I was this captivated by a film. I'm glad Emma Stone at least won best actress for her role.

Great movie but I think Oppy, Killers, and Zone just slightly edged it out.

I don't believe I've seen more cinematic masterpieces come out in the course of a year than I did with 2023 imo.

Spoiler

And if Dune: Part 2 were released in November like originally intended? I think the Dolby Theatre would implode Poltergeist style.

I still need to watch Killers and Zone. I really didn't like Oppenheimer that much.

I realized I made quite a few female friends in my life who were complete whores, like fuggs. Maybe this is why I like this film so much. 😑

What does that mean?

It means what it literally means. I didn't mean they were my friends "with benefits." They were just whores I befriended.

I’m not trying to put you on the spot.  The term doesn’t mean much outside being an all purpose epithet for women we don’t like or are trying to denigrate.  It doesn’t have to refer to sexual proclivity, but it almost always denotes disapproval.

Doesn't bitch and cunt better serve those purposes? When one says whore, I imagine most people think of promiscuity.

They all do the same thing for all intents and purposes.  So, I take it that your whore friends diminish themselves by being promiscuous?

I encourage women to be whores if they have it within them.

Yeah, slut is good - whore has too much of a business connotation.

[André Toulon]

Sluts and whores are different. Sluts are just ready and willing... whores want compensation 

[discolé monade]

if you slut right, you get compensated.  ; ]

Not to get all serious and shit, but it says something about the women who reclaim derogatory terms like these from men.  You never see passive women called either, only women who are standing up for themselves.

Strangely enough, this discussion over terminology is still relevant to Poor Things.
