Skwirl posted:It's very obvious that the directors watched a poo poo ton of John Woo growing up. According to the director (via Wikipedia, of course), the main influences on the first John Wick were The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (great), Point Blank (great), The Killer (great) and Le Cercle Rouge (the one I haven't seen). I think there's a lot of The Killer in Wick in particular.

gently caress, I forgot what dickeye's legal name was. There's a bunch of you I know your real names but can't connect to the username, I thought it was Vargo or you or some poo poo. In retrospect I should have guessed that the person driving 45 in a school zone would be Dickeye. Air Skwirl fucked around with this message at 21:43 on Sep 17, 2018 |

I was watching that Mary Poppins 2 trailer earlier. Got me thinking, is Julie Andrews winning an Oscar for that the only time someone's won one of the main acting Oscars for a film aimed (at least as far as I'm aware) primarily at children?

TrixRabbi posted:Incredibly Strange Creatures... is fascinating and oddly beautiful at certain moments (iirc there's a dream sequence that feels ripped from Kenneth Anger, but it's been awhile since I've seen it). Even when it was on MST3K I noticed that Incredibly Strange Creatures was fairly well shot (it’s the kind of movie for which everything being adequately lit is an accomplishment) and I found out that’s because Vilmos Zsigmond photographed it.

feedmyleg posted:If The Assignment isn't transploitation I don't know what is. It’s an odd duck because there are no transgender or transvestite characters in it. It’s about a character who is “punished” for his transgressions by being turned into a woman, with the point being that being a woman doesn’t make you any less than a man. Anything a man can do a woman can do, etc. If it has an exploitative category it’s more generally a “girl power”/badass chick one. The point is not that Rodriguez is playing a trans woman, but that she plays both a man and a woman, and the film treats this as a construct that oppresses the spirit.

It helps that there is a market of old racist fucks who want to watch a movie about a grizzled badass white man go kill foreigners who want to sexually abuse and rape innocent, sometimes virginal good white women. Taken taps into that market like Clint Eastwood taps into the racist grandpa market about foreign people assaulting them and stealing from them. Oooga Booga old white man the world is changing and you’re a relic but oh no your gun and thirst for vigilante justice to regain power is too much for us.

People rarely agree with me but I still think Taken is a satire that flew way over most people's heads. It's a movie written by a French guy starring an Irish guy about an American stomping his way through another country consequence free to stop his white virgin daughter from being sold into sex slavery to an Arab Sheik that's straight out of Looney Tunes. It's incredibly over the top and not at all subtle.
