It has the Angry Black Woman rebel leader holding a white child hostage and ranting about how they need to murder all the white children while you bang against the window in panic trying to stop her before waifu-heroine teleports in and shoots her to save the white children, then drops the gun and starts crying like "what have I done I'm a monster" There's very few things in video games that get me more angry then anyone trying to pretend like it Bioshock Infinite wasn't abhorrently racist and completely missed the loving point at every step of the way. pentyne has issued a correction as of 15:51 on Feb 12, 2021 |

Spazmo posted:the weirdest thing about Narcos Mexico was that after a few years of seeing the surreal excess of the Colombian cocaine cartels on regular Narcos, Mexico expects you to get worked up about some dudes growing pot. basic rear end weed. who the gently caress makes a show about reefer madness in 2018? IIRC they even had an episode where the Mexican weed growers meet with Escobar to talk about moving cocaine, which is just a reminder to the audience that the stakes used to be much, much higher. If you watch 'The Last Narc' you'll realise the DEA operations and response to the cartels is so heavily fictionalised in Narcos Mexico that it's pretty much pure fantasy apart from Camarena stumbling on to Quintero's farm. I don't want to spoil the documentary since it's a whodunnit, but this is the spoiler-free summary: DEA were being paid by the Guadalajara Cartel (not shown at all in Narcos), CIA and the cartel were trafficking drugs and weapons from Quintero's farm to help the contras (again not shown in Narcos), Camarena discovering the farm scared the CIA into arranging the kidnap. The CIA, Guadalajara Cartel and Mexican government were allies and they all decided Camarena needed to fall. And the bombshell spoilers: Camarena refused to take money from the cartel Jaime Kuykendall and the gusano CIA war criminal Felix Rodriguez were involved in arranging Camarena's kidnap Jaime Kuykendall regularly accepted bribes from the cartel DEA and CIA killed the investigation into his murder because the investigator - Hector Berrellez - had enough credible sources to point the finger at Felix Rodriguez as one of the kidnapping masterminds.

Yeah, thanks for the tip on LAST NARC. I got most of the way through the first episode. My only gripe is that it seems to invest quite a lot of time and effort into building up Berellez as a cool dude -- there's a good 10-15 minutes in the first episode of him telling stories about times he epically owned people in bars or meetings. But I'll keep watching because I want to see more of the dirt!

That part was dumb as gently caress but the rest of the doc isn’t like that. The first episode is a little slow, but the next three get crazier and more and more gripping. It’s certainly not pro-DEA.

i'm pretty sure Take2 got tired of Levine's dicking around and sent a fixer down to the studio to staple together everything that they had into a shippable state. tons of stuff that they showed in previews got flushed down the toilet during that process.

so belated thoughts on a brief history of seven killings the part of the book i was at when i made my post was basically the peak of gratuitous homophobic commentary it dropped off almost immediately afterwards and only reappears later in the book in the context of actual gay characters so the statements are no longer gratuitous theyre actually relevant aesthetically parts three four and five are much better than parts one and two to the point im honestly not really sure why parts one and two are in the book at all in addition to being much harder to read due to the intense dialect and overly similar characters the events that actually define the backstory for parts three four and five are never actually described in parts one and two nor are they clearly implied parts three four and five basically play like a mystery of trying to figure out what the gently caress happened on the day bob marley got shot and nearly all of the relevant exposition from parts one and two is repeated in parts three four and five in a way thats much more effectively contextualized so in summary i was a little harsh on the book but i still feel comfortable saying its overrated as a final cspammy note i thought the parts where pages are spent explaining why powder cocaine is not as bad as crack cocaine and how this is even used as a plot point was weird as loving hell and i was left scratching my head why a gay black jamaican man felt the need to emphasize this way back in 2014 long before anyone felt the need to pretend like the war on drugs was good just because joe biden said so

another belated observation i got around to finishing the second season of the boys and im appreciating the subtle effective critique of suburbia in that beccas idealistic notions of the suburbs as synonymous with good mothering create as many problems as they solve and are shown in parallel to not really be that meaningfully different from homelanders experiences with parental figures its a really good modern critique too not this wandavision bullshit of the imagined distant past you can practically smell the brunch and becca being presented as a sympathetic character otherwise really helps get across the fact that shes not a bad person but that rather people in toxic situations often cant see the warning signs a cultural statement thats paralleled with several other characters

I just finished "Framing Britney Spears" and there's some minor crack-pings in there about how the conservatorship placed over her has been turned into a business venture that reminded me a lot of Stanislaw Lem's The Futurological Congress, and placed within the context of similar cases such as with Kesha, has some rather darkly foreboding implications on the relationship and personhood of celebrities vis-a-vis management.

I still can't get over how freakish the people on Its Always Sunny wound up looking (except for Charlie). Dee looks like Fergie now and Mac turned into a roid monster. Dennis appears to be slowly transform into a smooth monster.

I mean, the show's set a record for longest-running sitcom or something, they aged well, mac became ripped because it would be funny, but other than that

It's incredible to me that there is so, so much discussion and drama around such a boring franchise/director, especially when the additional material is clearly a bunch of slow dramatic zooms and bad cgi action figures slamming into one another to pad the run time Check back next year for the exact same cultural debate on Guy Ritchie presents: Naruto, or whatever
