If not death, or being institutionalised.
But you can also get institutionalised or killed under capitalism too if you say the wrong things (China, Russia, the Gulf States).
While you might not be killed in the US, but you can be harassed via lawsuits or deported to a foreign internment camp if you say the wrong things.
Yes, we need a "brand" that builds upon the ideals (and some of the theory) of communism/Marxism while taking in account both history (e.g. even something as simple as democratic governance being non-negotiable) and the "spirit" and challenges of our times.
That's my point. USSR and the CCP have arguably permanently damaged the communism "brand".
And you talked to russians, things were even worse for nations occupied by the russians.
Ghost of War (2020) - Decent WW2 Nazi occult horror that turned out to be somewhat unique. It's not a great movie, but I think fans of horror/thrillers will enjoy it.
Les Visiteurs (1993) - French comedy from my childhood with Christian Claver and Jean Reno. A fun middle ages to the 90s time travel comedy. A little stupid at times, but funny and wholesome.
Orion's Key (1996) - A dumb scifi-action b-movie about an alien artifact found in Africa. I enjoyed it, but I would only recommend it if you like sci-fi and 90s b-movies.
Zootopia 1 was a cool movie, hopefully the sequel will be at least as good.
It's not only decades of propaganda.
Whether you like it or not, but many countries have suffered enourmosly (genocides, extermination of local language and culture) under the banner of regimes that claimed to represent communist ideals and allegedly aimed to develop a communist society.
I was born in the tail end of the USSR, so I honestly don't really remember it. But from the stories of my parents and relatives, it was trash.
You can't just dismiss the association between the USSR and attempts at achieving communism.
Sandler is back! Surprised this was so popular.
The OG Happy Gilmore is fun (rewatched it a few years ago), but I can't imagine watching a sequel (and I am not going to watch it).
Good for Sandler though!
All four are excellent horror movies, I would particularly recommend The Empty Man because it's less well known and it's fun experience.
Those 3 movies all high up my favourite horror movies rankings. :)
I just realized he is 51 years old. I always associate Graham with Snatch (although I like several other movies he's been in); he was 27 when it was released!
I haven't seen the 2024 version.
I recommended the 1980 adaption to my relatives and they started with the 2024 version by mistake, they said that the first thing that came to mind was "[he] couldn't have recommended this to us, we are probably watching the wrong thing!" And then they found the 1980 version.
So I am guessing I wouldn't have liked it. :)
