60 of 104 · most liked firstI'm just glad I'm finally on a social media platform where I can say stuff like "BIRDS OF PREY (AND THE FANTABULOUS EMANCIPATION OF ONE HARLEY QUINN) was the best DCEU film" without attracting a bunch of trolls.
positive · AI labelView post →A prequel to Spielberg’s movie Lincoln, called Thaddeus Stevens, covering from the start of the Civil War to the Emancipation Proclamation. Time for a new hero.
neutral · AI labelView post →A depiction of the famous photograph of "Whipped Peter" who was also known as Gordon, was a runaway slave with whip markings on his back and the scars spell out: AMERICA WAS NEVER GREAT The movie "Emancipation" with Will Smith is a great way to learn his history... #BlsckLivesAlwaysMatter

neutral · AI labelView post →It's time for Margot Robbie to use her movie clout to make a sequel to Birds of Prey and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn, and this time add Poison Ivy to the mix. Do this, Margot. For me and my friends.
neutral · AI labelView post →A picture is worth a 1000 words. My friend @normajeen.bsky.social posted this picture & it was labeled self-harm. The photo, 'Whipped Peter' was documented by Union soldiers of a slave. Whoever labeled this photo should read a history book or watch the movie, "Emancipation". DON'T erase history.
neutral · AI labelView post →A small price to pay so we can all talk about the masterpiece that is BIRDS OF PREY (AND THE FANTABULOUS EMANCIPATION OF ONE HARLEY QUINN). No, I'm not being facetious. I love that movie like I love a bacon-egg-hash browns-and-cheese sandwich with ketchup and spicy mayo from my local corner store.
positive · AI labelView post →#NowWatching NOW, VOYAGER (1942). Director: Irving Rapper. Bette Davis, Paul Henreid. Otherwise known as The Emancipation of Miss Bette (in my mind). Davis received Oscar nom as ugly duckling blossoming into a confident & independent woman. #filmsky 📽 Criterion Collection 1004

neutral · AI labelView post →Rewatching BOP and the Fantabulous Emancipation of a One Harley Quinn... this movie is so damn good, and the craziest part is that the final film is so obviously found throughout what feels like chaotic editing/post. Scenes feel restructured, moved around from where they originally were-
positive · AI labelView post →2020 was a bummer of a year for new movies, huh? Every other year was hard to narrow down, but the only movie from 2020 I've watched more than once is, somehow, "Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn)"
positive · AI labelView post →19. Birds of Prey and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn - Cathy Yan. Aside from incredible action sequences, the level of catharsis this movie exudes is simply stunning. Obviously Margot Robbie is great, as she is in everything. The acting and dialogue are top notch.
positive · AI labelView post →I'd love to see something that basically starts at the Emancipation Proclamation and culminates in Juneteenth, though it would be a lot for one film. Basically the legal and practical end of slavery in the Union and how much had to happen in between.

positive · AI labelView post →“Glitter” & “Charmbracelet” by Mariah Carey. Both were negatively reviewed and hated by critics and fans, but in actuality both albums are fire. I think the hate came from the movie glitter flopping & her nervous breakdown. Mariah had the last laugh though w/The Emancipation of Mimi 🦋

neutral · AI labelView post →Let's note that in Germany, the second Harley Quinn film "Birds of Prey: The Emancipation of Harley Quinn" had to be renamed "Harley Quinn: Birds of Prey" in 2020 due to poor box office results, and let the conclusion slowly roll off our tongue: Men are afraid of emancipated women. That’s all.
