Forceholy posted:I thought it ended in that Utopia becoming the Krypton that sent Clark Kent to Earth in the first place in a weird Paradox. That too. Funny thing is that iirc Grand Morrison wanted to do that for mainline Superman but editorial said gently caress no, so he suggested it to Millar for their one-off. Also that MoS Krypton and some other versions of it are now thematically apocalyptic Earth, just not literally, complete with its destruction changed to implosion due to insularity and greed in an obvious climate change analogue.

Most episodes are lupin steals something but gets in trouble because he’s horny. Then his friends help and they are super competent. Then it is revealed that getting in trouble because he was horny was the plan the whole time.

i had only seen red jacket lupin on toonami years ago and then i watched the original series on lupin and thought the different tone in the first half of it was very interesting. there's an episode where lupin stays in prison for years to gently caress with zenigata because zenigata just knew he'd break out

Zenigata also had moments of competence a lot more often in the earlier stuff I think. Part of the reason Lupin stayed in prison so long is that he refused any outside help from Jigen or Fujiko, because he felt he needed to even the score after Zenigata successfully caught him. The Goemon vs Lupin episodes before Goemon joins the gang were good too.

I'm watching high and low (1963) and it's amazing 🤩 the mid century modern furniture, the aspect ratio, the camera pans. imo Kurosawa didn't really come into his own until he switched to widescreen

Ive been binging peaky blinders and am up to season 5. Not sure how historically accurate it is, but holy poo poo it goes to 0 to 60 in ambition levels for characters. Was communism really a problem between 1919 to the ww2 in Britain? I knew the ira was a big issue but didnt expect the heavy handed anti communism in the show.

I was talking to my Dad about the new Woody Allen documentary coming out and I said "Eh, gently caress Woody Allen". My Dad then lectured on the ole "artist vs art" trope when I didn't even bring his films (never saw them, never will) into the conversation. gently caress, are his early movies THAT good to jump on a grenade for the man when I am only talking about him personally? Also, gently caress Woody Allen.

Polanski made Rosemary's Baby, which is all about a woman in the entertainment industry being raped and then manipulated by the people around her.

i saw the back end of rainy day in new york the other day and couldnt help but feel unnerved about how the lead actress is creeped on by literally every hollywood person she meets when her only personality trait is easily bewildered especially by fame but this is presented in such a way to make it seem like shes desirable and theyre kind of pathetic in a related note the other lead characters mother turns out to be an escort who bootstrapped her way into high society after marrying his dad and this is presented as if its supposed to be empowering and inspiring

Atrocious Joe posted:the Joss Whedon stuff still coming out is somehow making Dollhouse even creepier I didn't enjoy Dollhouse, but I like what it represented in the "big long overarching plot" vs. "enjoyable individual episodes" debate that was raging in TV for a bit. I've never seen a TV show just throw every idea that had in the plot bible on screen because they knew it was never coming back, and it reconfirmed my usual "just watch the first and then last two episodes of each season, because these are the only ones that matter" strategy when it comes to "season arc with filler" shows like it. I can't imagine how painful it would have been to watch those episodes stretched out to five or more extra seasons. If the only thing a show has to offer me is shocking twists and endless foreshadowing, rather than an enjoyable watching experience, well... I could just watch the movie length feature that was all they had enough ideas for, you know?

Resignation? Acceptance that they were as radical as could be and won all that they could in their time. William Van Spronsen didn't feel that way as he grew older nor did Parenti. But just contrast the left-liberal response between Parenti and Chomsky. One is trotted out every 4 years to remind us the Dems are as good as our choices on the ballots get and the other toils in obscurity.
