gently caress is they're still a bunch of people trying to come to the US from Cuba on rafts? Like it made sense in the 90s enen their entire economy collapsed when their biggest trading partner disappeared and it had to adjust to crushing US sanctions.

but whether it's bad is independent of whether there are queer space socialists in it (because, of course, star trek has always had queer space socialists)

It's weird that trekkies are so quick to poo poo on a new show, they all seem to have at least one bad season to start with anyway.

Serf posted:last night i watched "minari" which i thought was really good. very down to earth drama about rural communities and immigration from a point of view i hadn't seen before. great performances, too. i didn't think steven yeun had those dramatic acting chops. my only issue is that the daughter, anne, is the only character without an arc. she just kinda exists to give david, monica and soon-ja more character development and i think she ended up underdeveloped as a result go see burning (2018). amazingly tense and slow murakami adaption and yeun is great as this slick too successful maybe good maybe bad guy. great atmosphere (great music too, the l'ascenseur pour l'echafaud scene is maybe favourite scene of the last couple of years)

The Look this B-List character who doesn't have lines in half the episodes said husband instead of wife when referring to their spouse!". They really make sure to never mention anything that could really be considered "socialist" anymore, in fact things in both of the new shows seem downright Capitalistic. Since now the Federation apparently has poor people and money and stuff again.

i didn't watch any discovery but I was stupid enough to watch most of Picard and I think it drives home the idea of hauntology in modern culture more than anything I've ever seen, even more than Stranger Things

Feldegast42 posted:Trek died on 9/11 when everybody gave up on the future ever getting any better You could see the 9/11 stink infecting Enterprise when it aired but there was still enough residual 90's optimism in the tank for the show to run of its fumes for it's 3 seasons. Even if it's a noticeable downgrade from pre 9/11 trek. But once that was done yeah, American Media Corps have no room for Trek style utopianism both because it doesn't keep the proles afraid of the other, and that Utopianism requires you to say "The current system (in this case Capitalism) should be replaced". Back in the 90's the Elite could allow Trek to get away with the latter because the system seemed stable enough and the masses comfortable enough under the economic boom that it's not like anyone would actually call to abolish money. And with the fall of the Soviet Union and the End of History it's not like the peasants would seriously consider any Left-Wing alternatives the show presented. Now all of a sudden the whole system is falling apart and isn't working for even the Educated White Middle-Class. So telling the people that they could instead have a different system is a lot more dangerous.

watching the opening of larry crowne on cable and appreciating how the plot is set into motion by tom hanks getting fired despite being a model employee because his not having a college degree somehow puts him in violation of his retail outlets woke policy for equal opportunity promotion also appreciating how id already seen the later part and know the main vocational thing he learns at school is how to do a strategic bankruptcy wild to see a movie from ten years ago demonstrate basic literacy of working class economic problems

Ghost Leviathan posted:Pretty much all the best parts about Bond don't actually require that No fortresses of doom, but Juzo Itami's(of Tampopo fame) A Taxing Woman is more or less this exact film. A tiny Japanese tax official goes around passively-aggressively annoying tax dodgers and arresting them during the Japanese 80's economic boom. It's on the Criterion Channel(also on Youtube but don't go around telling that!)
