for sure, especially now that i'm probably around the same general age & physique of the weird uggos that comprised 90% of the show's material vs the 10% of actual sexy people i wanted to see when i was a teenager

i thought the Northman sucked rear end but i guess he did what was required of him in it.

i think i liked him in Hold the Dark, which also kind of sucked rear end.

You're incredibly wrong about Northman but basically correct about Hold the Dark

it's a mid-grade thriller with way too high an opinion of itself, but the shooting scene is legitimately brutal and unsettling

yeah that scene's good. the problems with the movie all come from the book which also kinda sucked.

jeremy saulnier should do a good movie again, as a treat.

that part was a bit weird. spoilers for the new mission impossible  as you said, first hunt saved her life. then gabriel told her that she was going to betray him, because hunt saved her life, but he kind of said it like he'd need her as an inside woman in IMF. but it was the entity that told gabriel that she'd betray him, so technically that may actually be what's happening? like i said, i'm not a 100%, guess we'll have to wait till next one for it to really make sense.

I mean you are absolutely allowed to simply like [Starship Troopers] as an entertainment product and appreciate the film-making on display. The CGI is probably some of the best we ever got in that decade and honestly they were good enough using the tech that it at times looks good enough to be a modern film. There's a lot of really great miniature work as well which, sadly, has been disappearing from film as a medium. I'm a huge huge fan of Phil Tippet's works though!

I personally have always considered it to be kind of a black comedy more than anything else since most people outside of Rico and Ace in training don't get promoted without the higher up getting brutally killed in a battle iirc and there's a lot of stuff like "ah ha! mobile infantry made me the man I am today!" and he's missing limbs and Razchak orders rico to field-execute him instead of just field-evacuating him right there. I'm just rewatching that specific scene but I don't really see anything preventing Rico and others to just pick the dude up and put him on the boat. There's also oddly anti-fascist things like how women generally have equality but also need a license to have babies, and preventing women from having babies and letting them serve in the military and/or pursue careers is explicitly not something fascists really jive with and I'm convinced that Veerhoven put that in because the original book is rather dismissive of women in uniform outside of noting they can look cute dolled up in military outfits.

Yeah I do get that the point is that the protagonists are all vapid morons but spending 45 minutes of your action movie convincing me of that succeeds a little too much
