Human Tornada posted:If you have Amazon Prime I recommend checking out We Are Still Here. It's a fun little Fulchi-esque (or so I'm told) horror movie about an older couple who moves into a New England house that has ghosts. I'd compare it to Ouija: Origin of Evil in that it doesn't reinvent the wheel or anything but it's pretty solid and doesn't overstay it's welcome. Also Barbara Crampton and Larry Fessenden are in it. I'll back up this recommendation. We Are Still Here is pretty cool and has a bonkers final act (even though character motivations seem a little off the rails by then). I remember it being technically impressive as well. Everything looks great, and it has just a touch of CG around the edges to enhance its mostly practical effects.

Bloody Hedgehog posted:Disney is too afraid to simply entertain a child anymore, every film has to have a message. Messages that teach kids lessons are fine, but not every single movie you put out has to have a life lesson. There's no such thing as an apolitical film or one that's "just entertainment", Disney's messages just mostly suck. Which is one of the reasons why Tangled is probably their best film since going over to 3D.

I couldn't get through the first episode of Glow, and even Allison Brie's tits couldn't keep me interested. The political subtext was just too thick. Look, women pee and lactate, and can't get good roles in Hollywood too! I don't know when strong female characters became associated with visible bodily secretions and a hairy upper lip, but they are laying it on too thick and its tough to watch.

By the way, Che is on Netflix and it's so good it turned me into a communist. Come to think of it, Glow is a great television show and we must support our sisters in their struggle to free themselves from their oppressors.

Jackie Brown is on Amazon Prime. There's something cool about seeing a 20+ year old movie that is a tribute to movies that were 20+ years old at the time. Max shopping in a Sam Goody makes me feel as nostalgic as he does about the music he is buying. A scene takes place in the mall theater on July 1st, 1995. I saw it at mall theater in the 90s... Today is July 1st. deoju fucked around with this message at 03:17 on Jul 2, 2017 |

Its simply impossible to imagine a reason a show about female wrestlers would focus on the physicality of their bodies beyond feminism's well-known goal 2 fill the airwaves with women pissin & shittin 24/7

I started watching GLOW myself and while it feels a bit hokey at time it's really enjoyable with a huge cast of really interesting characters. It also came out right as I started to get into wrestling so the timing was perfect.

The first couple episodes of Glow are a little more dour in tone than the rest of the series- like, the characters remain very flawed and there's drama to go with the comedy, but there's a shift away from black comedy to a more positive sense of them coming together.

Will I still have to watch 2 girls 1 cup, or will there be character development and drama? If it's the latter I will give it a few more episodes. You could make an interesting show about Lincoln, or you could dilute it with episodes about morning wood and making GBS threads in an outhouse in 1850ies america. All I'm saying is, ain't nobody want to see that poo poo.

Okay I obviously was not paying full attention in the first two episodes because I think I would have remembered if there was poop everywhere. Episode 3 is when the girls start to get gimmicks and live together and while there's not a lot of actual wrestling you see quite a bit of training and preparation. I mean Ruth does pee on a stick at one point but there's a very good reason for her to do so.

Yeah, I really don't get the complaints that it's the same ol' Disney movie all over again. When was the last time there was a Disney Princess movie without a romantic interest? Hell, when was the last Disney movie (outside of Pixar) that lacked a true villain? There are a couple antagonists in the movie, but no true villain.

K. Waste posted:This "subtext" as you call it is an ideological fantasy. You are simply revolted by female sexuality. I don't consider pissing to be a sexual act, but to each his own. Before I eat a probie for trolling, allow me to elaborate on what I mean by political subtext. Movies and television shows are directed by someone, and this person shows you - the viewer - his/her vision of the script in in a very specific way. Everything you see on screen is there for a reason, because the director put it there and wants you to see it. You may see or overhear something unexpected in real life but not in a movie. I believe GLOW suffers from a misguided attempt to support modern feminism, but instead of building strong female characters the director turns it into Everybody Poops: The Movie. They are very heavy handed about it and I have a hard time engaging with the show as a result. Lets talk about some famous pissing scenes. In the show Patriot, a number of major plot events develop in the men's room of the McMillan offices. However, you will notice that the pissing is never actually the focus of the scene. The events take places in the bathroom, point of the scene is always character development. That's why you don't hear the piss hit the urinals. The bathroom scene in Robocop likewise exists as a backdrop for character development: the evil guy overhears some scrub trash talking him and decides to kill him. The scene sets up a whole chain of events without having the viewer hear the pissing, and Paul Verhoeven does not need smellovision to show that the evil guy just took a dump, because that's not the point of the scene. In GLOW, the first bathroom scene is supposed to show Allison Brie as a strong and dedicated woman because she waits for the hiring manager lady in the bathroom, but then the director hits you with the very noticeable pissing sound. It is so noticeable that it took me out of the scene completely to ask: why did the director put it in the scene? The pissing is followed up by the very expected dialogue on how its tough for women to get good roles in hollywood, etc etc, and I receive the answer to my question: its the modern feminist subtext. The very next scene is the milky nipples at the gym, and at that point I'm done with the show.
