Doctor Who chat itt


I've enjoyed the twitter drama this morning involving the show. They made the next doctor female, nerds everywhere are angry.

it lets idenitarian libs be real smug at the predicable retardation from identitarian CHUDS over a terrible show about a magical immortal british alien who lives in a special multidimensional portapotty.

it's funny because humor and mockery used to be something libs had on lock-- they had the daily show and colbert and all this and when right wingers tried it (ie half hour comedy hour) they ate poo poo so libs pretty much had a monopoly. now that the dirtbag left is showing how they are just as culpable in how hosed things are with the same sort of acerbic barbs and ridicule, the veneer of smug assuredness goes away and they can't stop shrieking about it.

forgot who said it originally, but those shows reinforced the self-concept liberals had that they were genuinely smarter and better than everyone else, and in turn a lot of their humor was just as much rooted in punching down as conservative comedy, but aimed at more socially acceptable targets like uneducated and poor whites instead of uneducated and poor minorities

Night is kind of a crazy movie for the time with a black protagonist and all. And the ending is as loving real as they come.

I prefer the 1990 Night remake, but the original is like a must-watch.

George said that he never intended Ben to be black, just that Jones had the best audition, but good god does it make the ending and the credits sequence even more haunting and bleak

Part of me wants to believe him, but a louder part of me thinks George is full of poo poo on some level. I remember seeing an interview where he said the same thing about Dawn, that there's no message to the movie and its just a horror flick, so I'm not really sure he's telling the truth. That ending you posted was no accident.

I don't think George has any agenda in being coy or whatever but yea I think he very purposely takes the stance of 'oh it's just a movie, what do YOU think about it?' when it comes to things like that. I think it just comes from wanting to do his thing and not get bogged down in debate and drama. Like, there's zero question what Night is about, you can go back and forth with Day all day long but Night is super overt in its messages, and yea there's no way he at the very least didn't understand what kind of extra tone that ending had with a black protagonist. The dude couldn't have gone from that level of overtly left wing view of the world to such a basic 'oh gee it's just a movie we weren't DOING anything' one for real.

e: or 'had' instead of 'has', :smith:

I'd believe him about Night if it wasn't for.... literally every other film he made, even the bad ones

I just saw Land of the Dead at the time as a generic "Republicans are bad" subtext but man I gotta rewatch it again now. The class traitor John Leguizamo (one of my favorite roles of his) gets screwed over by his 1%er boss

my posts are as bad the Current Releases review of Gone Girl

The thing about George saying he never intended Ben to be a black man is misleading because it omits the back half of that story, that after Duane Jones killed it in the audition the role of Ben changed a good bit to be more in line with Jones' performance. As written initially, Ben is a thuggish, uneducated trucker - compare that to the Ben of the final film.
