gradenko_2000 posted:Leto's Joker wasn't so much bad (because you barely saw him) as really forced. It's like the media wanted to recreate this idea of Heath Ledger's Joker being too-real, too-method so they kept circulating stories about how dark and twisted Jared Leto was becoming even off-camera, and then you find out his "pranks" were poo poo like leaving condoms on the door handles of his co-stars's trailers. And famously trying to scare Margot Robbie with a live rat in a box, which was eventually adopted by Guillermo del Toro to live out its happy last years.

mandatory lesbian posted:Weirdlu emough i actually think the movie has some relevance. While the conditions of being a bored white guy with an unfufilling but well paying job are outdated, tylers mokies are basically proto-proud boys and from that perspective you can glean some insight tyler was the only one with any sort of money. all the goons were bartenders and service industry wage slaves. bored white collar workers didn’t go away either, just waned a bit, especially in media because they have no compelling story to tell

So the Chicago 7 movie sucks but has anyone seen 2000's Steal This Movie? I saw it well over a decade ago and recall it being pretty decent, but I don't recall it well enough to know if it holds up well.

I am 100% sure besson thought he was being extremely deep and profound, but it's just so absurd. Scarjo really commits though, she's great in it

was watching a movie with my girlfriend at the time and when the trailer for Lucy came up she inexplicably predicted the ending by making the connection with Lucy the Australopithecus such a gloriously dumb flick

Maya Fey posted:i heard it was really boring, maybe i'll check it out at some point i mean i wouldn't really recommend it. like the very first scene has so many things going on its basically incomprehensible. but you cant say its not clever. so i guess it can be an interesting movie for some people

Half awake thought but I realise possibly one of the reasons why liberals will agitate for the 'liberation' of any remotely leftist country or just one that doesn't want to be America's bitch while ignoring that the USA is best buds with literal slaveowning monarchies in Saudi Arabia and neighbours might be in pop culture; while a non-American leader who has the title of an elected position can clearly just be the false modesty of a dictator's whimsy, but a king is obviously enlightened and magnanimous and well educated to realise his people just aren't ready for democracy. Coming to America, Black Panther, Babar, et al. Like, the only times I've seen an African democratically elected leader portrayed positively in fiction is in Metal Gear Rising (where of course he's murdered by Western mercenaries who outright admit Africa isn't war-torn enough for their liking anymore) and The Phantom, which isn't entirely free of it given the Phantom is basically a hereditary monarchy itself. (the tribe who knows his secret even chants 'The Phantom is dead, long live the Phantom' at the ascension of the new one)

You could do an entire semester long class on how African nations are falsely depicted in Lord of War and Blood Diamond. A syllabus, books to read, things to listen to and watch, guest speakers, tests and quizzes and projects and papers and everything just off those two loving movies.

Rewatching Steal This Movie and so far it seems okay, though we shall see how it treats Bobby Seale and the Black Panthers. It definitely seems better than whatever Sorkin must have pumped out.

Like, the Phantom has a lot of iffy things going on even today, but manages to be shockingly progressive just in portraying an African country as a place where actual people live and work, and while there's gimmicky tribes in the jungle there's also modern cities, farms and towns. The Phantom even acts as a diplomat and coordinator of rescue work, as well as punching people, and a fair amount of villains are white westerners who think Africa must obviously be a lawless place where they can escape consequences. It's less that that's supposed to be impressive and more that it really shouldn't be, but here we are.gradenko_2000 posted:It was so badly written/acted that you wouldn't know that the two leads were supposed to be love interests if they didn't tell you I do feel like this is basically just the endpoint of filmmaking laziness and expectations; obviously the male and female lead are supposed to gently caress.

I remain convinced that the leads in ant-man were specifically cast without regards to chemistry precisely because the people making the movie didn't want them to gently caress but then the mcu people got involved and said nope sorry no not loving allowed

there's a lot of problems with the Phantom even just in the basic conceit of them being a white saviour but yeah, i can't pretend like i don't like a lot of it anyway. A Problematic Fave the 90s movie is also an important part of the  canonAlhazred posted:And also a surprisingly amount of exposed boobs: as someone who just read the American newspaper strips growing up and only really started reading the local reprints/translations of the European stories this last year or two i was pretty surprised by the non-zero amount of boobs, yeah
