CW is a bizarre network.

it did Walker Texas Ranger reboot

it has 37 DC superhero shows that all cross over

the Riverdale cast are a key part of the Nicaragua regime change push

Squid Game was a fun watch, but it was pretty typical for that genre. Nothing amazing.

like, to warn them about negative trends in pop culture? pop culture's problem in the 2020s is more about homogeneity than quality, per se. like, if you plucked out any random MCU movie and sent it back, it'd probably be a pretty well-regarded superhero flick; the problem is that there are 40 other movies exactly like it. similarly, ready player one is so cringeworthy because it's created in the context of a creatively bankrupt studio system that can only mine its past. so it's hard to say what a single, isolated example of our worst impulses would be. maybe space jam 2? (i didn't see it)

if you mean that we should just warn them about the crises of the 2000s, send back kanye's "bush doesn't care about black people" clip to warn them that bush doesn't care about black people

kinda yeah? the world has been going crazy for korean media for a while now

Yea that's kinda how I felt, but as was mentioned, the themes are very similar. The story takes some leaps but the production value is great, I originally ignored it b/c I thought the esher-esque promo image looked dumb, but it really does a great job selling it's goofier ideas like the masks and nonstop ultra violence. I thought it was going to be rather one-note but the show kept surprising me by actually leaving the game for episode #2 and adding characters like the detective and surgeon to reveal (and add) mystery to the narrative.


Also that's Phillip Seymore Hoffman's kid in the PTA movie and one of the HAIM sisters.

does anyone have the studio of this, or know who the artist is? youtube's other versions aren't as rockin'

That wouldn't be too crazy to say,

a lot people think the most watched movie of all time is a 1979 Jesus movie.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jesus_(1979_film)


Yearly people watch that Moses movie at easter, and a Wonderful Life, and a Christmas Carol every holiday season.

You wanna make bank, just toss together some bullshit holiday story about the love of mankind, and off you go to print Elf money.

Code 8 was fun, but severely harmed by its lib-brained creative team.

You have an explicitly fascist public order designed to create and exploit an underclass, and yet because that public order happens to fly an American flag, breaking the law and fighting against the system (even just for personal gain) is somehow depicted as beyond the moral event horizon.

The ending could have been worse, though.
