As a black person who grew up among the whites it wasn't really the whole stealing bodies that was scary to me and I get a bit confused that cultural appropriation is always the go to main point of why it works and is relatable. It's kind of hard for me to explain what I felt personally but I'll try. It was that uncomfortable feeling of everyone in the room making you feel different and alien by you just being there. Being trapped in performative Uncle Toms roles as to not steer the pot. Someone handwaving your discomfort because they didn't have to learn the language of subtle racism. Feeling bad because people weren't being "mean" racist. Finding out that some of the people you call friends, family or allies are doing and saying some shady racist stuff behind your back while they are probably also using you as a shield for anytime anyone calls them on being racist. I wasn't surprised when I found out that he was half white because that in of itself carries some distinct forms of racism that I find even harder to articulate. There is so much more but I hope that gets my point across. Content.

More and more I come to believe that Revenge of the Nerds was like the first tentative step of the mra movement and reactionary politics from “respectable” white professional-class nerds. Wasn’t gamergate predicated partially on the conviction that male white nerds are an oppressed class like black people are?

It's a good B-movie and I enjoyed it, but what bothered me afterwards was that instead of focusing on the fact that this was an entertaining little action movie that made quite a bit of money, they started trying to suggest it had deeper meaning than it does, and, as far as I'm concerned, they played the "support the troops" card, and that really turned me off. In fact, at once the luncheons, the lead actor (Tom Glynn-Carney), who is not from the United States (he's British), was giving us a lecture on the glorification of war in America and how civilian lives matter, and I thought, "What does this have to do with Dunkirk? They're trying to make me think that if I don't vote for this movie, I'm a hippie". I was really offended. That sealed it for me. Wow, it almost writes itself.

Augus posted:look up the comments that academy voters always give on the animation category If I had money and was (more of) a troll, I'd: a) Raise a bunch of money to make an animated feature film off (popular property that is beloved and thus could raise lots of money) b) Get everyone hyped up about (popular property that is beloved and thus would generate insane hype before any details are even released) c) Hire a Dingo Pictures-level company to make the movie-- though maybe punch it up JUST A BIT so the previews look okay d) Drop a huge stinking worst-movie ever "what the gently caress were they thinking" turd. (I may have to make it genuine by hiring and firing a long list of people who would love to work on the project but can't handle crunch time) e) Take all the rest of the budget that I didn't spend on the movie, and instead use it to send "For Your Consideration" campaign And that's how you end up with Academy Award Winner Bionic Six: The Re-Bionicing Began

I've been recently The Report of the Week food reviews and it reminds me a bit of a video version of Jeremy Parish's talking time articles that weren't game related. Down to "I dress up formally for some sort of weird heart warming reason" being a thing on both pieces.

SuperButterBuns has a new video on Spongebob Squarepants: Battle for Bikini Bottom, a 2003 3D platformer that apparently is way better than you'd expect. I've heard about BfBB but this video explains why it's held in high regard. I don't know what to make about the similarities to Psychonauts and I don't know how justified the accusations that Psychonauts was very inspired by BfBB but they are interesting comparisons regardless. There's something about SBB's comedic timing both in editing and vocal performance that's truly masterful.

It's incredibly good that a movie about white people using black people, and specifically black artists, as tools for self-aggrandizement has itself become a tool white people use for self-aggrandizement.

It’s more like someone took the script for a really good episode of the Twilight Zone and turned it into a full length movie instead.

Hey, remember how YouTube is/was having issue with those videos for kids that had Elsa and Peppa the Pig and whoever, but they had weird, terrifying stuff like Peppa Pig getting stabbed with a needle, or Elsa having upholster a couch or whatever? Where does something like this fit into that? Also, IHE put out a video about Hunt Down the Freeman: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VMw5XohHkPs

There is a even very hard and demonstrateable shift in the quality of discussions between the month he was probated and after his return. The thread is actually generally very civil, except for one poster that has been proven at every occassion to be absolutely toxic to any conversation and just drags the thread into try to make them see common sense for entire pages at a time. The only one winning in that situation is BoTL's smug sense of superiority, because he will always argue in bad faith. Try the flipside if it helps to understand us; What does BoTL actually contribute to the thread aside from toxic opinions and derails?

Terrible Opinions posted:The new Eli Roth Deathwish is actually real racist, which should be kinda expected. You take a series known for a very uncomfortable nuanced subject in its first entry, then took the sad dive into racist power fantasy with its sequels. Then you hand that series to Eli Roth, a man for whom subtly, good taste, and making good movies are strictly taboo and violations of his most sincerely held beliefs. You're going to get a movie that is balls out super racist. For his last few he’s just been doing straight recreations of different 70s exploitation sub-genres. No nuance and no self-awareness—not even like a Tarantino pastiche. I would expect exactly this from him.

Watching the Best of the Worst episode on Death Wish 3 is just like pure black comedy at this point because it's actually kind of hilarious how tone deaf, unpleasant, and mean-spirited it is, and you can tell that the guys are just waiting for that last five minutes at the end where Charles Bronson blows up an entire neighborhood full of poor people with an RPG. You straight up could not make a movie like that in the modern era, let along get it released in theaters and expect it to do well... which Eli Roth has just shown to a spectacular degree.

CharlestheHammer posted:I’m more confused on how Get Out could be considered a B movie. Just less than five million, which for Blumhouse is probably on the higher end, but compared to other Oscar contenders it's rather low. Three Billboards, for instance, cost $12 million, and Phantom Thread $35 mil. B-movie is an outdated term now that most films aren't sold as double bills, but Get Out is definitely an independent low budget horror film from a studio mostly known for stuff like Paranormal Activity and The Purge, so there's a bit of the same stigma that "B-movie" has. E: Moonlight was even cheaper, but A24 is a prestige outlet, so it doesn't get pegged as a "B-movie" the same way.
