Some Guy TT posted:ive never understood why harrison ford literally being a replicant is supposed to be important the whole point of the story is that he might as well be a replicant given that he guilelessly serves the whims of elite money havers who dont care whether he lives or dies and turning that into explicit biological determinism completely ruins the class metaphor People can make art without knowing what their art actually means. Many artists (particularly disconnected wealthy ones) are terrible at understanding the concepts undergirding their own creations because they are too busy eating out of the trash can of ideology *sniff*

Arcane is really good this animation quality is fantastic, moba’s are still trash as a medium tho.

if it's true that they told him his first scene was gonna be a huge fight and then they changed it to a Bollywood scene after he'd roided himself out then I do feel a little bad for him

it’s just mind boggling. You take a character with a Japanese name who looks Japanese whose whole deal is being a samurai and you make him, a Bollywood star? And then you get a guy who can’t even do the simplest Bollywood movements properly? It is a good example of just how shallow and insincere Hollywood wokeism is when they just take an actual minority character and throw out everything about them. And then won’t even commit to the new thing.

especially when you cast someone who isnt indian and repeatedly tells the director he cant dance and doesnt want to do a bollywood scene so he has to be tricked into it

Xaris posted:this is pretty much the internet now, particularly anything 'lib'. a zillion media/posting about how CHUDS!! are mad and therefore its good! with 1000x the audience and identical takes compared to any insignificant tiniest 'chud outrage'. like yeah sure im sure you could find one singular 4chan or freep weirdo that's mad about X sjws ruining star wars or buttman. it's largely libs getting mad at imaginary people and then harnessing that to ultimately uphold the neoliberal status quo and pledge allegiance to massive multi-national corporations for it. It's a symbiotic relationship, both media ecosystems feed off each other like this and all you need is some account with 2 followers saying something insane and you can get your whole political side riled up. Like way back I remember someone had some article about how the video game Cuphead was drawing from early 20th century cartoons that were sometimes racist and does that make Cuphead racist and this was spun into an entire media attack on what was hailed as a pretty decent game. Thor owning the comic book nerd saying Thor can't be a girl in a comic is just the liberal version of this and both groups seem pretty happy with the situation since entire media crit. careers are built off of it.

Also, while I have no seen the movie, it really seems like it is a critique of toxic masculinity.

I haven't see The Last Duel or read Last Duel twitter, people are upset b/c of rape culture? Or is it more that people are just being dumb on twitter and posting bland hot takes? GoT shoved rape into every plot point and it was bad. I trust Scott as a director, how is TLD different?

Or is it more that people are just being dumb on twitter and posting bland hot takes? it's the usual dumb hot take of assuming depiction = endorsement. ridley scott did a fine job as usual and handled it pretty well. obviously if someone doesn't wanna see something like that in a movie, more power to 'em, it's understandable. but it's a fool move if someone is saying that it's perpetuating rape culture, that just makes me assume that they didn't even watch the movie.

I’m really looking forward to seeing The Last Duel but I was all “this is the perfect movie for streaming lol going to the theater in 2021.” It’s not exactly a hooting and hollering kind of film.
