question for the thread: is 6 underground genuine fascism or is it satire? most of it is straight enough but there are just a couple things keeping it on the edge. obviously the civilian casualties of the protagonists but also the evil dictator using US manufactured chemical weapons dropped from f-16s. the hilariously optimistic civilian rebellion and statue destruction montage seems like pretty pointed criticism of the Iraq war buildup

There was a season 2 on syfy. I dunno if it ever came to Netflix.

When I saw season one I was astounded it was a product of that channel. The best stuff they’ve ever done up until then was Channel Zero and, gloss aside, those shows are powerfully mediocre unless you have the right kind of eyes to see them.

Also the last season was amazing house porn for a couple who lives now, and will probably forever live, in lovely overpriced apartments.

they should make a movie about a guy who a new kind of human that has special powers and his are regeneration and claws and so the military makes him into a super soldier by fusing metal to his skeleton but somehow he dies anyway and makes a deal with the devil to become a hellspawn and come back giving him even more powers but then gets dosed with radiation turning him into a massive muscle bound monster man too then an alien creature comes and fuses with him so he also has alien powers

also he adopts a baby yoda that he has to take care of

I just assume all Hugh Jackman movies are Wolverine prequels so he was also Archangel Gabriel and an Australian cowboy

Its fine but it's got two main problems, the first being that doing le Carre with the slow pace it deserves means that the plot is practically incomprehensible in a two hour run time if you're not paying very close attention (or have read the book); also Gary Oldman is really good but he's way too charismatic to be Smiley imo. That said it's very well acted and shot and the story's still good so it's worth watching even if it's not as good as it could have been

I watched Double Indemnity for the first time last weekend and the only thing I got out of it was that Spanish colonials in LA once went for $20k then I blacked out and according to my wife started strangling one of the couch cushions.

Getting "Mural of AOC shopping with Warren, Michelle, Pelosi, Kamala, and Ginsburg" vibes from the Disney+ trailer of Diary of a Future President.

All these "anti-capitalist" movies are way too milquetoast to be more than fart huffing.

Case in point, one should end on an uplifting moment as the masses cheer at a real-life billionaire being graphically decapitated with rusted saw. See these failsons go "mmh, quite right, there's a lot wrong with our society indeed" then.

Considering all the teen dystopian sci fi movies about overthrowing an evil government, I'm still waiting for a film to dramatize a full blown Marxist revolution in America led by zoomers with smart phones. It goes out of its way to demonize liberals who oppose Revolution. And it's framed entirely heroically without a shred of irony. And features a closing credits sequence with The Internationale blasting.

Have it reclaim the "fight the power" message that corporate Hollywood co-opted using quintessentially Hollywood tropes. It doesn't have to be realistic. I just want to see it.
