This displeases Dev- ..van. Shut up.
HBO Max has all five seasons of Inside Number Nine. I’ve been waiting years for Hulu to update their collection.

there could be a movie made that juxtaposes the CIA's evil deeds with the fact that they are completely incompetent gently caress ups. Chris Morris actually did a film along those lines about the FBI but I haven't seen it yet. didn't review terribly well though.

I was thinking it could be a thing where the first movie that focuses on the cruelty says "this is what the CIA does" then Burn After Reading follows up with "this is how they handle everything else"

a double feature of zero dark thirty followed by burn after reading would be a welcome recontextualization of the formers obvious propagandistic elements

reminder that in the original version of zero dark thirty no one even comes close to actually accomplishing anything and the final cuts semisuccessful ending had to be awkwardly grafted on when osama bin laden actually died

When a tree grows, it is soft and pliable. But when it's dry and hard, it dies.

Hardness and strength are death's companions. Flexibility and softness are the embodiment of life.

That which has become hard shall not triumph.

it ages well imo. it's the best movie tangentially about the bush administration. i think about clooney's sex wedge a lot

i saw it recently but i should see it again. my big problem is that i didn't think the first third of the movie was funny at all, basically up until brad pitt starts the blackmail plot. pitt and mcdormand are easily the highlight of the movie, especially counting out jk simmons

There's a movie about James J. Angleton but I think it's a fawning portrayal which lol. I feel like you would need that French director who did the Carlos the Jackal miniseries to tackle it.

When kamaleia harris took over the galaxy she sat on her hands for her mandate and allowed an even larger group of fascists to surface and make their own death star, inevitably leading to a redescent into fascism. A Good Tweet.

Whats hilarious is that in their efforts to both excise all the inherent political themes in Star Wars (aka have only vapid Lib themes) and make the story a store brand knockoff of the Original Trilogy, Disney made this statement 100% unironically true. Instead of making a New Republic that rectified the mistakes of the Old one, Luke, Han, and Leia decided to make an even shittier state that was unable to resurrect the Jedi and allowed Fascists 100 times more powerful than the Empire to make their own even bigger Death Star that blew up like five times as many planets. Even in their own fiction NeoLiberals always fail.

i really have to wonder if whiplash from this was the main reason fans reacted to it with such hostility kind of like how the main immediate thing that made people mad about last jedi was that it turned luke skywalker into a cynical rear end in a top hat hobo

personally i dont think thats necessarily a bad way to run a deconstruction but if the creatives are just going to skip all the parts that explain why the fans childhood heroes turned into douchebags and say deal with it thats canon i think the fans have the right to be a little annoyed

Main problem is it just wasn't as good by every metric, certainly not good enough to justify what it did with the characters from the original, and it also has some pretty dubious politics

I'm still not sure what it is he actually tried to do. It was like "Step 1: Give African-Americans Rayguns. Step 2:???"
I mean it's not like America doesn't already have enough guns floating around to arm every man woman and child with a Tank cannon. It seemed to be the standard liberal "Being angry about injustices is bad" because he shouts and says he doesn't like white people so he must be wrong.
