No you can’t. That is disingenuous. There are specific words that are pejoratives aimed at specific groups of people.
edit: I misspelled pejoratives as "perjoratives", sorry that was rediculous

This comedy caper follows Jamie, an uninhibited free spirit bemoaning yet another breakup with a girlfriend, and her demure friend Marian who desperately needs to loosen up. In search of a fresh start, the two embark on an impromptu road trip to Tallahassee, but things quickly go awry when they cross paths with a group of inept criminals along the way.
That’s become the truism, but I’m not sure that’s so true in fact. MacBeth was really a project from his wife so I’m not sure how much it reflects the totality of Joel’s contributions not to mention how this is just one datum from each of them.Monterey Jack wrote: ↑Sat Jun 24, 2023 10:25 pmWith this and Tragedy Of Macbeth, I guess we know now which Coen brother was calling the shots whenever one of their movies had a bent more towards drama or wacky comedy...
I laughed when the film's title is shown spray-painted on a brick wall with the letters "o", "l", and "l" printed on sheets of paper that are covering up the original spray-painted letters (ostensibly "y", "k", and "e"); a jokey acknowledgement that the title had been changed.
Ok, thank you, that provides the context I was lacking!The Narrator Returns wrote: ↑Tue Aug 01, 2023 12:29 pmI would be excited for this even if it was just Ethan Coen branching out of his straight zone (I would've happily given him the pass to use the original title), but the interviews that have come out about this make it clear that Tricia Cooke has long identified as a lesbian even through her "very unconventional relationship" with Coen. I can think of no more noble action for any straight man than making a lesbian movie for and with your gay wife.
I dunno, it seems reasonable that if you're in respective long-term committed relationships with creative people, and you've been at the hip with your brother for a third of a century, you may turn over to your other closest intimate to see what's possible there as the primary creative team. I find it far more interesting that they didn't take a break earlier
Yeah, I get what you’re saying. It’s uncommon for people to devote so much time and creative energy when there isn’t some personal investment such as being gay oneself.Persona wrote:Ok, thank you, that provides the context I was lacking!The Narrator Returns wrote: ↑Tue Aug 01, 2023 12:29 pmI would be excited for this even if it was just Ethan Coen branching out of his straight zone (I would've happily given him the pass to use the original title), but the interviews that have come out about this make it clear that Tricia Cooke has long identified as a lesbian even through her "very unconventional relationship" with Coen.

And, yes, to Mr. Sausage, you're right, it's not odd to have interests beyond one's own background or self, so there's probably a better word I could have come up with there. But to dedicate years and an incredible amount of energy into something like a film trilogy, I was just wondering if there was something that I didn't know about Ethan or Tricia. And, clearly, there was.
And it's done in such a way that's practically a middle-finger to whoever made them change the title, re-contextualizing the change in a way that not only reclaims creative freedom but provides the film with extra meaning, expressed in an appropriately cheeky manner. Loved it.domino harvey wrote: ↑Thu Feb 15, 2024 1:38 pmApparently the film retains its original title in the final title card
