Amphigory posted:More Jarmusch posting please Rashomon comes up a lot during Ghost Dog. As the movie goes on we see that Ghost Dog and Louie both remember their first meeting differently: Ghost Dog remembers that Louie selflessly saved him from a beating, while Louie remembers that he defended himself against one of Ghost Dog's assailants.

Also Immortan Joe is an enormous manchild and exactly the kind of person to commission a mobile soundtrack for his automobile violence society (I laugh at myself every time I watch Fury Road and am forcibly reminded by the camera that the stirring drums and guitar music is diegetic! loving Immortan Joe!)

IT is kind of hilarious how between Mad Max and The Menu Nicholas Holt has been typecast as a tryhard loser trying desperately to be noticed by their idols.

I feel an underrated line in The Menu is when Holt's character is forced to cook something and the head chef's just like "It's done? Are you sure? You don't want to force it through a Pacojet first?" taking the piss out of him namedropping the device to sound impressive.

 A friend hadn't seen American Psycho so we watched it the other day. I never noticed before, the knife on the cover isn't a reflection of Bateman; it's just a reflection of some other guy who looks a lot like him because these yuppie sociopaths are indistinguishable from one another

I think it's supposed to be him, but it's a drawing rather than a render, so it's not a 100% likeness.

Tree Bucket posted:I think Nux talks about Valhalla being where you McFeast for eternity. Ouch. Holy poo poo. I can't find it through some cursory googling, but several years back, the Onion AV club had a series where a writer wrote about what he considered the best action movie of each year. When he wrote about Fury Road, he pointed out that the movie released at almost exactly the same time as Donald Trump's escalator ride announcing his campaign. The movie was written and filmed before anyone could predict Trumpism, but the similarities between Immortan Joe, his failsons, his cultists, and Donald Trump, the Trump boys, and American Trumpers are utterly staggering.

Absolutely. And people caught on to it, too. Note the date. https://twitter.com/MeltdownComics/status/640962087326347264 There were also MAGA people (to use the term loosely) who posted images of Joe's convoy on social media with captions like "this is us coming for the polls" at which people with media literacy were like "uuuuhm guys?"

They did that a lot, they're dumb as gently caress  My favourite was when a MAGAt dressed up as The Homelander and the showrunner of The Boys plus Homelander himself ripped into them   Subtle movie moment: the Death Star was made by the bad guys

The fact that Antony Starr sells it as well as he does is a big part of that.

He's elevated the character beyond the comics and I can't get enough. The fact that chuds think he's the hero is an endless source of lmaos from me. Gen V, the spinoff show, is also quite good.

I've only ever seen the cover of American Psycho that had the yuppie on it, I didn't know the suddenly work safe version where he's got blood all over him was more commonplace and not worth tagging

So a couple of days ago I was watching Twilight Zone with some friends and we got to It's a Good Life, you know, the one with the little boy who has godlike powers. I never understood where the social commentary was in that episode, the other ones were all very clear with their message but that one always just seemed like "Did you see that poo poo? Wild." Rod Serling even says at the end "No comment here. No comment at all." Then somebody pointed out how much the setting looks like Leave it to Beaver, and that's when it clicked. It was satire of all those lovely saccharine tv shows that littered the airwaves in the 50s and 60s. A small town where nobody ever leaves and nobody new ever arrives, everything is good and nobody ever says or even thinks a negative thought, and the whole town knows and loves this one little boy

And I personally extrapolate from that the all consuming misery of catering to the small town perspective so thoroughly, which is what mass media can do. It gives a strange power to a specific way of life and calcifies things into a rather banal little hellscape.
