Lil Mama Im Sorry posted:What holiday movie should Dougherty do next? Well, someone scornfully mentions the Easter Bunny in Krampus, so there's your answer. axleblaze posted:I like that congress didn't pass a ban on selling guns to people on the terrorist watch lists because people can end up on that list erroneously. No effort was made to fix the watch list. So apparently it's better to sell a gun to someone the government suspects is a terrorist than it is to accidentally not let an innocent man buy a gun. Also it's more important to make sure people can buy guns rather than erroneously being listed as terrorists. This loving country... Weirdly, I actually kind of agree on that one. Anyone can be put on the no-fly list with no due process or oversight. It's a pretty bullshit thing that needs to be fixed and basing other laws on that list is also kind of bullshit that legitimizes it.

CPL593H posted:Dire, ugly, and spiteful is exactly the kind of Christmas movie I wanted. Yeah I mean if you wanna snicker at some fat stupid poors in between snickering at some bush league August Osage County poo poo and nodding your head at some cloying messages about Consumerism is Bad, Family is Good, then Krampus has your back. A big failing of the movie is that its disdain for its poorer characters never reaches the over-the-top spitefulness of something like Idiocracy and its disdain for its richer characters never reaches the painfully awkward earnestness of like a Noah Baumbach joint, so outside of one or two standout moments (like the opening montage), the whole thing ends up feeling pretty toothless. Hence, "slog". I should also note that while I call the film "ugly" partly because of its morals, it's also largely because of its aesthetics. There's a scene where some evil elves roll up to the house and the wise German grandmother looks at the camera and says "elves", which is fortunate because the lighting consists of nothing but dim, low-contrast blues occasionally illuminated to bright, low-contrast blues by lightning, and the visual design of the elves is so cluttered and scattershot, that gently caress if I knew what I was looking at without the helpful exposition pal spelling it out. Like, if you're fed up enough with the cultural context around Christmas that you just need the catharsis of seeing it get dunked on, I'm sure Krampus can be a satisfying time. But Christ, there has to be a better way, y'know.

I agree that the no fly list is BS but I feel they should, y'know, fix that rather than use it as an excuse as to why they won't pass a single gun control law. Like they have the power to do something about the no fly list, but they're perfectly happy having innocent people on there as long as they can buy guns.

Hence, "slog". I kinda felt that the portrayal of the rich family members and the poors was perfectly over-the-top. The way I read the film was that if we settle for the representations given to us (specifically by the media) of these two types, then we really are screwed. There can be no hope and no chance for any of us if we're going to accept and believe that these stereotypes are in any way real. Like Curtis Mayfield said, "Don't worry, if there's Hell below were all gonna go." And that's what happens when the boy is confronted with this bleak representation. Even after his dad gives him the little talk about looking past our own prejudices and perceptions for the sake of something greater than ourselves (in this specific case it's the symbol of spirit that Christmas represents, but it really could be replaced with any set of belief system or virtues) the kid consciously chooses to not sacrifice his own perceptions and gives in to cynicism. And cynicism appears in the form of Krampus and his little helpers. I'm definitely applying a reading based on my own experiences and views but this is just how I responded to the film as I was watching it. I'm in no way implying that this is what the film really was trying to say, but I'm just trying to articulate (tho not that well) why I enjoyed it from my seat.

I don't really give into that poo poo, but the other day my brother told me he doesn't want to go to the 70mm Hateful Eight screening in Boston because he's concerned about mass shootings in big cities on days when a lot of people will be around. I found it really sad. This is our reality now and no one wants to do anything about it because our politicians are in the pockets of the gun lobby.

Kramjacks posted:That's not what hollow points are, actually I think the police themselves use them. From what I remember, hollow points were designed to mushroom out in a person's body, doing more damage to the person while also not going right through them and hitting an innocent bystander. Of course, this doesn't work when it hits the bystander first. "Cop killer" bullets were a subplot in Lethal Weapon 3 and don't actually exist.

Freddy Got Fingered is a masterpiece of Dadaist filmmaking. Tom Green managed to get a major studio to give him full creative control and money to make that film. It's more of a prank than a film.

Dull knives are more dangerous than sharp ones, and armor-piercing (hardened core) bullets are cop-killers, not hollow points. Furthermore, most mass shootings happen in the grey, textureless sprawl of suburbia, where paranoid weirdos go to escape the "craziness" of the big city.
