oscarthewilde posted:I mean, they clearly based 'the real' chris pine on jordan peterson and portrayed harry styles as an insanely overexaggerated version of a jordan peterson fan, bordering on an incel. it was to the detriment of the movie as a whole, and especially to its underlying moral, and it's a great example of liberal media not understanding that the jordan peterson fans and the incels aren't just pitiful greasy looking ugly losers but also 'normal' people, but to a certain extent it was a (bad) movie about incels. it will never stop being weird how i a broke brained internet weirdo neither knows nor cares who jordan peterson is or what he does but every few months some big name in the cultural production industry feels the need to parody him as if he were the single most relevant celebrity of our era

5 million copies is a lot of books but it's a rounding error of young/adult English speaking men in North America and Europe

i first encountered this insane fucker when i read about how he was a big influence on the guitar player for Gang of Four. RIP legend. also he played the mute executioner on Game of Thrones. watch this video and try to figure out wtf he is doing. take some speed first, get you in the mood. https://twitter.com/electricalWSOP/status/1595418632934367233?s=20&t=rRXD8rT7exaXDtAiboRSqA

Xaris posted:is it actually? matt christman has dogshit opinions about media but he made it sound kinda bad and i was kinda like ehh after watching a trailer It's been pretty good so far, although you shouldn't go in expecting a documentary ofc. Something I didn't like at first is that Brown being super religious is often the comedic relief but after thinking about it for a while there is something really comical about him being a true believer vs the "true believers" of our day. If you are a true believer you would probably live exactly like Brown did.

Pretty much if you think this painting of John Brown is sick (it is), then you will enjoy the series.

finished THE VOW season 2/finale last night and again there was a lot that was depraved and horrifying but some unintentional comedy too........ the scenes of keith's band of hanger on freaks strategizing on how to prove his innocence was p hilarious (tho tinged with pity), doing interviews thinking they can get a sympathetic angle on him and repeatedly being shut down, a rolling stone/TNR journo telling them she'd only be interested in a story on them rebuilding their lives from the wreckage, the scene of them trying to contact the prosecutor and judge and saying "we don't want to sound threatening".... just lmao also nancy put on a good show but idk you prob did a lot of heinous poo poo lady and you can be sad about it, but i don't think you should get off scott free i wonder if keith will start a cult in prison tho

The book is better of course but it's a solid adaptation. The dry boys are generally great at media and political analysis but surprisingly pretty bad with art. Pobodys nerfect!

R. Mute posted:i dunno, i saw off kilter superheroes, i saw a scruffy anglo-ish fella giving briefings Doom patrol's whole thing is off kitler superheroes and villains. One of the heroes in the show is quite literally a street. The anglo guy is just a magician they sometimes team up with. Pepe Silvia Browne posted:Probably a stupid question but - if I liked DC's other "loser superhero" shows like Peacemaker and Harley Quinn, will this scratch the same itch? It's a fun show although the plotline that carries over from season 2 -> 3 is very thin presumably because of covid.

Has anyone who's watched Doom Patrol also read any of the comics? I'm curious if any of the stuff from the Grant Morrison run gets tapped for the show. I know what I really want is to watch a show version of The Invisibles, but this might do me enough good for now

Any suggestions? more seriously tho, these aren't ~revolutionary victories~ but they are along those lines: Z the Carlos movies/miniseries maybe Harlan County USA and/or Matewan? not revolutionary, but the Show Me A Hero miniseries on HBO is good i think you're also describing the Matrix

The Boys isn't just more superhero schlock, it's left wing political satire wrapped in a cape and cloaked with sex and violence The writing is great and the acting is fantastic. Homelander is both a psychopathic, unstoppable ubermensch and despicably pathetic.
