the entire movie is 'man the 70's were a loving weird time' stretched out way too long, it's incredibly clear basically everything in it is some degree of hosed up and stupid

I like Anita’s stance that you can judge if a movie is racist by how racist people (not you obviously, other people) react to its depiction of racism

yep. people are loving braindead

the only thing that makes me suspicious of the movie is that the male lead is the son of phillip seymour hoffman

it's not even that, it seems to be full on 'if you have racism in a movie even if it's explicitly shown as a negative, unless the main character (who, of course, can have no flaws or you're endorsing them) turns to the camera and goes 'wow, that's bad, let's all take a moment to think about how bad that is' you're endorsing it'.

because most people saw the trailer and went 'this seems lame and stupid' and didn't see it but tiktok and twitter is full of 'here's why (x) is problematic' in lieu of actual reviews because those generate better engagement, so it takes a little bit for them to find a movie that'd work for their gimmick.

i do like this bit from the licorice pizza wikipedia page:

quote:

Development

Around 2001, Anderson was walking by a middle school in Los Angeles on picture day. He observed one of the students nagging the female photographer and had an idea of the student having an adult relationship with the photographer. The screenplay of Licorice Pizza evolved from this experience

anyway i haven't seen this movie. probably not gonna see it.

I really think hollywood should stop making movies about hollywood and should maybe start crawling out of its own rear end a bit. half the people working on the movie are probably already related to each other anyway

You should hear my accent.

I'm so tired. I am interested in watching the movie so I'm not looking for spoilers, but does the segment at least make sense in the context of the film or is it just some random ching-chong-wing-wong poo poo thrown in for shits and giggles?

I'm grown up enough to know that depiction isn't necessarily an endorsement.

I saw this in the replies.

Honestly I appreciate how Anita was one of the few people from yesterday's internet culture war who didn't use her increased profile to punch left or "join the club". She just mostly stayed in her corner of the internet, wanting to just (poorly) talk about how sexist pop culture is long after it stopped being cool to do so.

Shame she's sticking she's sticking her neck out on a weird hill to die on.
