Look I’m not even the biggest Alejandro fan but his moments in MW2 keep standing out to me!!!! Also MW2 is my comfort watch when I’m puttering around at night and I’m still hearing dialogue that I never noticed until now.

Alejandro and Gaz over comms taking back Los Vaqueros’ base.

Gaz: Did you ever suspect Graves was up to no good?

Alejandro: I always keep my eyes on the gringos… but no, I trusted him.

LMAO

I blocked another radfem today so I just wanted to send out a reminder that if you’re a terf you’ll never be welcome here and I don’t wish to associate with you. So much of my art and my writing has been directly influenced by the work of trans and nonbinary people. Bioessentialism is setting us back by decades. If your brand of feminism insists on enforcing a definition of “real women” and “real men” please explode

there’s this extremely kind soul of a woman on instagram that makes accessible recipes that don’t require standing, chopping, or a stove and she might just have a permanent place in my heart

The sexiest thing a woman can do is move on. Whether it’s from their partner, career, family, etc. Society has programmed women into believing there’s a moral reward for enduring and staying. Fuck that. Get a new partner, new career, move to another state/country, please just MOVE ON.

@chemicalcyan you get it. The Spanglish was actually taking me out

One thing I’ve never seen anyone really touch on is the racism thrown at Alejandro and Rudy in MW2.

When they’re tracking Hassan across the border and get intercepted by local law enforcement, one of them says “hard to tell you boys apart from the cartel”.

He wasn’t saying it to instigate them either which makes it even worse. He sees an armed Mexican man and it’s immediately “he’s a bad guy”. Idc if some of the military is in El Sin Nombre’s pocket, he still profiled him.

When Graves, Alejandro, Ghost, and Soap are scoping out the cartel lieutenant’s house, Graves says “I got enough shadows to take over the whole country”, to which Alejandro cuts in with “I prefer if you didn’t”. He was quick with it!

Then Graves placates him with a “I’m just sayin’, one house shouldn’t be a problem.” BOMBASTIC side eye.

Idk just as someone from the south, those moments really stood out. They give insight to how much shit they must put up with when dealing with white people and it’s so frequent that they’re obviously used to it.

That’s why I really love the relationship between the 141 and Los Vaqueros. Soap makes a genuine effort to learn the language whereas Graves speaking Spanish always feels like a mockery. And the reason is plain as day.

Kung Fu Hustle constructs an imaginary city of pre-communist Shanghai through a fictional world of images and collages in order to recount notions of Chinese-ness. [This imaginary city] is situated in the temporal and spatial combination of past and future, fantastic xia [warrior-heroes in Chinese literature] and urban gangster, nostalgia and capitalism. … Chow’s genre borrowings result in a collage of several major trends in Hollywood cinema … to represent the urban Chinese landscape in the 1940s.
