When Americans say middle class they mean homeowners.
When the British say middle class they mean the bourgeoisie.

nah, there are plenty of renters who consider themselves "middle class" in America
― sarahell, Tuesday, 22 March 2022 00:15 (two years ago) link
Usually those people will have been raised by home-owning parents so I’m sure my point stands.

Intriguing post, but to me "bourgeoisie" feels a bit of a punt, ie a straight synonym for middle class (and up), so nothing has actually been said about the British? But I am neither native UK, US or Anglophone, so please school me on "bourgeoisie".

idk, I'm just a "cool girl" (meant in a derogatory way by the ilxor who wrote it in the slack) who is "male-focused" and a scenester ... and trying to decide how to handle someone who shit-talked me on slack popping up on a sub-board where I'm a mod?

Saturday, 18 February 2023 22:56 I Love Everything Message edited to :sounds like a mollusk.circa, I've got to interrogate what "spectacle" means to you in terms of enjoyment and why it not being in CGI somehow gives you a greater thrill. Flynn's Robin Hood or even Spielberg's War of the Worlds, this ain't; it's workshopped and overwrought beyond common sense or spontaneous thrill. I'm not getting any soul or thought beyond obvious fanservice and slavish Cruise hagiography. If what's there is exciting you, more power to you; acting as if these blockbuster hoo-ha qualities are inherently recognizable, positive or even engrained within this work as a matter of fact is fallacious.I also take umbrage with your conception of me as a curmudgeons shooting fish in a barrel in choosing to engage the work and then positioning myself as holier-than-thou in voicing my objections. I think I've been clear in my intentions to want to find things to enjoy here; I'm simply not seeing them.Saturday, 18 February 2023 07:31 I Love Everything Message edited to :the positives are much the same as the first one: Full committal by all the actors, Cruise is an eyecatching actor and can mostly get away with the dumbest conceivable dialogue, the dogfight sequences are generally intelligible but holy shit this script though.STILL predictable and dogshit dumb, daddy-do-you-love-me-now, adolescent small dick power fantasy tech fetishism at its worst. it no longer has the benefit of explicit homoeroticism but the music and score do still suck!The decision to replicate not only the credits but all the main story beats, all the failson rising white narcissist savior bullshit and at least a dozen scenes note for note doesn't impress me, it only serves to show how utterly creatively bereft and unimaginative the hands on the wheel are. The inclusion of a more diverse cast and a slightly less sex pest relationship are directly undercut by Hangman's hotdog last second bailout (another bloated egotist to the rescue! let's see a woman do that!) and the cynical erasure of all the prior film's female characters. Kilmer can't even speak but he makes the cast while McGillis gets bumped for the unforgivable sin of aging.The product being sold here isn't the military, it's fucking Tom Cruise. Why the fuck did I just watch a two hour commercial for Tom Cruise?
