Dolash posted:I'd say the Trump era is ripe for fatalism and defeat, but I don't think he'd even make good noir - he's just too crass and dumb. You'd have your overarching conspiracy, your lone investigator, and then the goddamn Trump train smashes through the whole thing upturning everyone's carefully laid plans and not giving a poo poo about any of them. Absurdism I guess, like the futility of man's attempt to plan and control their world when nature / God / Trump will overturn it all arbitrarily. lol everyone knows the mayor is loving his children and selling public assets to the highest bidder and no one gives a poo poo because a mob of retards can be convinced to burn down a local pizzeria because its a satanic cult

Baloogan posted:lol u and i both know he would be funneling that cash to the muslim brotherhood Better them than the Russians and the KKK imho, at least with the MB the terrorisims it funds will all be overseas and not in my loving backyard Dolash posted:It might be, if he took that position. As-is, it looks more like he's going with "actually I did win the popular vote, bigly, because whatever votes my opponent got more than me were fraudulent." True, but I think it's starting to dawn on him that nobody likes him or believes a single thing he says outside of his media bubble. I have no clue if this will bother him, or if he'll just settle into the echo chamber like every other Republican seems content to do. If I had to guess I'd say the endgame here is him dispatching the Army to force everybody to like him at gunpoint

Phobophilia posted:the problem is when a billionaire starts bankrolling every possible lawsuit against a publication, even if one of them sticks, you can basically commit barratry by proxy i don't know if it's as big a mine canary as people think it is. i mean, yeah, keep an eye on this behavior but thiel wouldn't have been able to destroy gawker if they had simply taken the small step of not posting a sex tape that a person in the sex tape did not want posted. it was really easy to make this one stick because it was actually an abhorrent lapse in journalistic integrity that caused harm to others for no newsworthy reason. the idea that it's a slippery slope and NYT and WaPo are next is absurd because they aren't run by a bunch of brooklyn hipsters making up the rules of journalism as they go along.

Then when they try to bring this to the public they're scooped by social media and everyone blows it off in a weekend news cycle because the President goes on to do something ten times worse publicly and with no attempt to hide it. Bush was the President you cast as the faux-folksy cover for the business and military elites, because that's what he was, but nobody'd seriously believe you could control Trump. I bet you could find actual life-or-death leverage on Trump and he still wouldn't have the discipline and self-control to toe your line, like the Russians actually have that hotel orgy video but every time they try to use it he just gets distracted half way through and they realize it's futile to try and blackmail the guy.

In terms of the whole noir being useless in a reality where Trump is loving president, I really think that new Dirk Gently adaptation hit at just the right time since it kicks around a story where both the protagonists and the antagonists have no idea what the gently caress is going on but things still keep falling into place anyway. That kind of storytelling is probably going to become much more popular now.

NCFOM is basically some deplorables trying to cope with the crushing boot of global capital. i mean, i just came up with this just now so it could be bullshit but I think I might be right. I mean, if we want to talk about noirs with faceless forces that some guy tries to fight futilely, Chigurh is your man. Iron Crowned posted:I still haven't seen that one.

I was super drunk and high when I watched it so despite having seen it, so I tend to withhold judgement I also withhold judgement on There Will Be Blood for similar reasons However I did see American Psycho for the first time super loving ripped out of my gourd and I feel like I actually got a better experience of it overall than a normie would have
