That was my takeaway as well, that the mom took Peter at his word when he said, "school BBQ", and thought it was chaperoned event.

By the way, have you seen Midsommar? It's the second film by Ari Aster (the director & writer). I haven't yet, but I plan on watching it while I have this trial of Amazon Prime.

I really liked Midsommar as well, but personally not as much as Hereditary. They were both really intense but the way everything fits together in Hereditary I just thought was brilliant.

I enjoyed it. Especially the sister scene. I felt real horror at that part. Imagining what the brother must be feeling.

Yeah wow. I thought so many of the moments were unexpected yet in hindsight completely appropriate for the characters. Can any of us really say what we would do in that situation? Being completely dumbstruck seems more than possible

I saw it in theaters, and really enjoyed it. I felt so bad for the teen the whole movie.

All I do is worry and slave and defend you. And all I get back is that fucking face on your face!

Yeah the dinner scene was very intense and felt real. Honestly going back and viewing again the only thing I would consider a weakness is the shaky reasoning for Charlie going to the party in the first place, which Peter points out at dinner. But I guess she was trying to get Charlie to socialize and she believed Peter that it was a 'school barbeque'. Also at least I guess he never actually heard his mother saying she never wanted to be his mother, since it seemed that was only a dream sequence...unless in the nightmare he said he was having he heard it all.

TopicReporter asks what Trump has to say to frightened Americans
AnnoyedCops
03/20/20 9:05:34 PM

The first question was very mildly worded. He alludes to Trump's 'impulse to put a positive spin on things' not some evil desire to mislead. Yes it indicates a potential criticism but that doesn't mean it was designed to provoke. Even someone 'on your side' can ask a question like "what would you say to someone who criticizes what you're doing as x for y reason?". I think you can broach a criticism without being provocative. We need to be able to ask these questions. It wasn't some trick question that was impossible to answer.

I don't think the question about people being scared was intended as an escalation. Trump himself escalated the situation. The second question doesn't depend on Trump spreading false hope or not. It's 'OK, people are scared because of these facts, what would you say to comfort them?' He didn't say people were scared because of trump's reaction, he actually gave the objective reasons that people are feeling scared. The question still applies whether Trump is giving false hope or not. You're reading a lot into his intention with the question, and I'm sure you won't believe the reporter but he claims the purpose of the question was to give Trump a platform to comfort people.

He did literally berate him though. Whether you think it was justified or not. He angrily told him he should be ashamed of himself. It seems you agree the response was unwarranted, so how bad are the reporter's questions really? I guess I see it as a role of the press to question the government's messaging in a reasonable way

It seems you are taking one question out of some type of exchange between the two people. What preceded that question and answer? What is the context.

Edit: I just watched the exchange. The first question included an embedded accusation that he was spinning information in a positive way to inspire a false sense of hope. The answer to that question was relatively reponsive. The second question which you're talking about seems to essentially again suggest that people should be frightened because the reporter didn't get what he wanted from the first question and wanted to perpetuate the same theme of distrust. The answer wasn't great, but that question wasn't designed to obtain information either. I mean, the fact that NBC posts it on youtube with the title that "Trump berates" the reporter kind of makes that clear.


Hmm, that's not how I see it. The reporter had just asked another question, asking if there was any possibility Trump was spreading false hope given the unproven nature of the treatments he was suggesting. Trump says no, essentially. Trump really had a lot of space to refute that he was giving false hope and give his perspective on it. Then I guess the same reporter gets called on again and is allowed to continue the conversation, resulting in the exchange in the OP. What is the nasty or sensationalist aspect of his question? Is his indication that people are scared supposed to be stoking the flames of hysteria somehow? I don't see him saying people "should" be frightened but observing that in fact they are which I can't argue with. The whole purpose of the question seems to be to give Trump an opportunity to say either why people should not be scared, or help them deal with the fear, something like that.

I watched it again today.

I noticed towards the beginning Peter is in class and as the teacher says the hero is brought down by his tragic flaw, Peter is staring at the butt of the girl in front of him. The girl he later leaves Charlie alone for, trying to win her favor, starting the chain of events that would lead to his downfall.

Kind of itching for another amazing movie now but maybe I'll have to get into Animal Crossing lol

What do you say to Americans who are scared, though? I guess, nearly 200 dead, 14,000 who are sick, millions as you witnessed who are scared right now. What do you say to Americans who are watching right now who are scared?

What would be a reasonable response to this question? Personally I would hope even if he is tired of answering similar questions or somehow feels attacked by the question, which merely states reasons people are frightened and gives Trump a platform to give some encouraging words that he would do so. If Trump thinks the virus is nothing to be scared of, whatever the reasoning, he could explain as much. instead...

Trump:
I say that youre a terrible reporter, thats what I say. I think its a very nasty question, and I think its a very bad signal that youre putting out to the American people. The American people are looking for answers and theyre looking for hope and youre doing sensationalism and the same with NBC and con-cast, I dont call it Comcast, I call it con-cast. ... You ought to be ashamed of yourself.

Honestly what's nasty about the question? I watched the whole video for context.

It was only fair to point out flu and coronavirus are not the same thing when the original comment was saying "flu and cancer aren't the same".

One part that really stuck out for me was when Annie tries to explain about the photo albums she found and the fact that someone put the grandmother's corpse up there... and he doesn't believe her. "More than the headless corpse of your mother. Of course." Then he goes up there and his brief but horrified scream... and comes down and accuses her of digging up the body herself. It was a great moment, actually kind of rational from Steve's point of view other than the fact that he witnessed the seance... but so tragic and horrible for Annie (and ultimately Peter and Steve). They are so doomed and the one person that maybe could have helped at that point can't understand what's happening.

Space travel isn't restricted to people who work for star fleet, but if you are in Star Fleet you'll get to travel to different planet as part of your job as an art teacher for kids of the other crew members on a star fleet star ship. Of course, you'll never get to choose where to go, and will often be sent on deadly missions (you won't be required to participate in the mission personally, but the ship you're on will be sent there, and the ship itself being in danger is common).

Yeah that's why I'd kind of rather not get involved.

I agree wow it was just jaw dropping. Several scenes in the movie I just couldn't believe they went there but it was also the best choice for what the film was going for. I was in disbelief and I am a big horror fan so I've seen some out there stuff... but wow. Also the scene where they throw the book in the fire was just tragic and horrible. Looking forward to more films from this director. I liked Midsommar from him a lot too but not as much as this one
