(Did notice that the 1970s Ellen Burstyn footage doesn’t appear to be from the original film, either).

Marketing. We can’t even use the color purple. The fact that we got tubular bells was a miracle

No idea who's voicing him, but Snowflame is in season four of Harley Quinn, so the character is at least on someone's mind at DC right now.

They actually brought Snowflame back for an arc in Catwoman a couple of years ago. He was updated to a copy of the white guy from Miami Vice, which is as perfect a look as you could wish for an 80s retro throwback.

No word on whether cocaine was still his god or if he was the living instrument of its will, though.

While the Exorcist trailer is indeed a very good trailer, I would argue that the 1979 Alien teaser is superior.

This poo poo is always incredible to me because I'm complaining about white dominant culture in a white supremacist nation and there's still people who go "oh gosh you're so mean" as in the default of me constantly gracefully graciously absorbing abuse from white media is the definition of civilized behavior

pale person here to agree with you, he sucks, and it doubly sucks that the liberal baseline always finds a way to institutionalize polite support for poo poo like his without any challenge to what it communicates. this thread prolly ain't gonna be the place to solve it tho since it's more of a thread about the way things are presented technically than what is being presented, such a thread premise already carries with it so many assumptions about media and what has value that it's worth thinking about however

Oh, I thought he was just a guy who made movies you don’t like, didn’t know about the white supremacy. He’s not really talked about at all in Asia. I was just going off his IMDb of movies I never saw and you not liking the accent he gave Kidman.

Why can't you use the colour purple? Who owns that? And how?

IP is so interesting to me because my friend is currently writing the legislation for indigenous artworks and it's kinda a weird line between counterfeit indiginous works and people who grew up doing it and it's cool, it seems like it has to be decided by local tribunal, so they have to make laws that solidify the decision, which is weird and hard

His politics are just all over the place. Mayor of Kingstown has some legit criticisms against the prison industrial complex and the police being militarized but is also easily one of the most misogynistic shows on TV right now. And I did enjoy parts of Wind River but he got a lot of poo poo for bragging about how he has done all this work to bring awareness to indigenous issues when in reality the movie suffers from white savior bullshit.

I liked Hell or High Water, but I think it was mainly due to the performances. The guy isn’t a known sex pest/abuser/criminal as far as I know, he just makes a lot of mediocre-to-bad things that have very unappealing politics.

The ending of hell or high water is outstanding. Really elevated the film. His little cameo/scene was pretty good too just lots of little good moments in that movie.

Yellowstone is pretty much the same way. Sheridan once claimed he was shocked that it was considered a "red-state show" since "The show’s talking about the displacement of Native Americans and the way Native American women were treated and about corporate greed and the gentrification of the West, and land-grabbing. That’s a red-state show?" Of course what he doesn't point out is how those are legit the only remotely left wing points the show makes, everything else is basically non stop mocking of "coastal elites" and "city folk"; glorifying rural values, toxic masculinity, and abusive parenting; mocking environmentalists as knowing less than the people who actually work the land, etc.

At the very least, Sheridan doesn't seem to be using his clout to endorse terrible politicians, at least to my knowledge. Scummiest thing he did was purchase the 6666 Ranch in Texas with his money and then convince Paramount into shooting the show there and charge them market rent for all the stuff there, so he gets paid coming and going. I kind of respect the grift there.

My Sheridan hot take is I don't actually think he has terrible politics but I think he is an idiot who isn't capable of nuance and is way to full of himself. Sicario is one of my favorite movies from the past decade (yes I know he only wrote it) so I think in the right circumstances he is capable of good stuff. And I think he does try to critique toxic masculinity at times with his stuff but then his tiny brain is like "MANLY COWBOY LOOKS COOL."
