I don't really think a pendulum is swinging much these days

like, you can't have sexy exploitation stuff in movies anymore, streaming TV had a brief period where you could but that's p much over too. Barbie was essentially a White Feminism movie and it was a blockbuster. But also people can see through when idpol is applied cynically, see: Disney trying to convince everyone that every single MCU thing was a triumph of social justice and increasingly failing at it. The alt-right are really trying to make a pendulum swing the other way (boycotting beer brands over being insufficiently fascistic in their advertising etc) but I don't really think there's anything to swing

Obliterated was refreshing because it had no deeper Important Message and also had gratuitous nudity from everyone.

Stop us if you’ve heard this one before: a gay clown dives into a vat of feminizing hormones at a chemical storage plant, then goes on to create an illegal comedy troupe in Gotham City. What sounds like a remix of the origins of Harley Quinn is actually the premise for an unofficial Joker parody. It’s called The People’s Joker, and though very few have seen the film, it will soon score a limited theatrical screening.

The story behind The People’s Joker is already infamous. What began as an unofficial dare to re-edit Todd Phillip’s Joker eventually sired a queer coming-of-age parody from Vera Drew. The Emmy-nominated editor and director also stars as the Harlequin, a clown on a quest to explore her identity as a trans woman while fighting Gotham City’s staunch rules against comedy (in this universe, Batman has outlawed the practice).

The People’s Joker premiered at the 2022 Toronto International Film Festival, but was pulled from subsequent screenings after Drew was pressured by an “angry letter” from a “media conglomerate that shall remain nameless.”

“I went to great lengths with legal counsel to have it fall under parody/fair use,” Drew wrote in a statement posted to Twitter. Still, its use of images from previous DC films might have caught negative attention from Warner Bros., so to avoid “potential blowback,” Drew voluntarily canceled future screenings. The filmmaker has been searching for a distribution method ever since, and has finally found a backer in Altered Innocence.

The independent distributor will screen The People’s Joker for one week at New York’s IFC Center in 2024. The film’s run starts on April 5, with the possibility of additional screenings in the future. It’s just one step towards securing a wider release for the film, but it’s a promising development for Drew, and for any filmmaker hoping to color outside the lines of established intellectual property.

“I am absolutely thrilled and humbled that Altered Innocence is helping me bring The People’s Joker to theaters this spring,” said Drew. “It has been a long road freeing The People’s Joker and finding a release plan that rings true to the queer, anarchist spirit we had while making it. What better home than among Altered Innocence’s catalog of gorgeously gay and deliciously edgy films.”

There's actually decent arguments that the stinger is more pro trans than anti

There's a lot going on in the Barbie movie like lol of course an idiot with no self image spends one day exposed to modern American culture and becomes a fascist, but kinda got me that I'm pretty drat sure there have been horse riding Barbies and horses in the toyline

Yeah I'm not sure I follow how it's antitrans? If someone said to a transperson you can be whatever you want to be in like "you get one wish" kind of way, I can guess what the wish would be.
