loquacius posted:Equilibrium was "what if The Giver was 1984, but also the matrix because it's 2002 and that's what sells" Also Brave New World, what with the letter T being everywhere. One dystopia you don't hear about as much is Jack London's The Iron Heel, which is mainly about the establishment of a fascist dictatorship, but the idea is that eventually that government falls and is replaced by a glorious Marxist utopia, and throughout the book are footnotes hinting at how things changed. pogi posted:Scrubs is probably the most accurate show I’ve seen about being in a hospital tbh. you’ll be goofing off with your work pals and then somebody will code and there’s a frenzy of activity and they’ll still loving die and then it’s back to goofin’. I remember reading that some law society declared Night Court as the most realistic courtroom show ever, because it shows that usually you're trying to get through minor stuff and not big dramatic cases. Scrubs was kind of a spiritual successor.

The real Kitchen Nightmare is the petite bourgeois owners and the capitalist mode of production But you never once will hear Gordon Ramsay say that. It's almost as if he doesn't even believe it

TheSlutPit posted:Remember when people “debated” the Iraq war? lol https://scrubs.fandom.com/wiki/His_Story_IV quote:"His Story IV" is the seventh episode of Scrubs' sixth season. Dr. Robert Kelso is the narrator of this episode as he struggles to maintains people's respect for him after the debate over the Iraq War causes problems thereby dividing the hospital. Meanwhile, J.D. spends the day researching the Iraq War, which he knows nothing about. Somehow this aired in 2007.

That episode was where any residual goodwill from the earlier seasons dried up for me. It wasn't funny, and it shifted into actively grotesque.

Luckily it was a very temporary embarrassment. It felt really out of place and shoehorned in, even for being in the middle of some of the weakest seasons. It's real easy to just skip those episodes cuz imo it's worth sticking it out through the eighth season

film critique & criticism is good but as a side effect is basically mythologizing the film making process. the language they use is completely divorced from the language of the film maker and they are basically their own story creator w/r/t interpreting film. their constraint is not budget but the work in front of them and maybe what background they can gleam from interviews w/ "the director" even in auteur film making "the director" has a team of dozens of people making wardrobe, production design, lighting, framing, acting etc decisions and like all dictatorships the dictator just runs a bureaucracy and doesn't actualize every choice themselves

when your film comes out and you see reviews and comments "interpreting" it you will definitely say "huh, I didn't realize I was doing that with the plot." "oh wow I didn't expect people to take it that way" "people like that part of the film? That's the part that turned out lovely tho" you can say 'death of the author' but film criticism basically always looks for themes across a director's works and attributes human intent to the content of the film, analyzing it from that perspective (with their made up gibberish critical theory language)
