the Blank Check podcast is currently covering John McTiernan's filmography. Between Cameron and him, yeah they really don't make them like that anymore. That whole mid 80's- early 90's action movies were loving amazing.

Hey, look. Look, if- if you screw me on this, I shall become more powerful than you can possibly imagine, you rat bastard!
I ended up trying to watch a few of the Matt Helm movies a few weeks ago and by modern standards Dean Martin looked like 20 years older than his actual age of late 40s/early 50s in them and still trying to play a young sexy leading man.

Ironically, I suppose, the original source material was supposed to have the relatively advanced age of the character be a plot point to the stories, but what I saw of the films doesn't seem make that a point of mention at all.

We need to do an Expendables-type movie with nothing but B-movie actresses from the 80s-90s.

The plot being that modern Hollywood has run out of ideas and is deciding to do a hipster reboot of a cult B-movie fantasy-horror movie franchise from the 80s and cast a bunch of big name young talents like Zendaya, Miley Cyrus, half the cast of Madame Web, etc.

The original films' leads are hired to appear on location to film a cameo where they are to be killed off in Scream fashion, but in a strange twist all the young starlets are instead killed off as real supernatural fantasy monsters arrive to stalk their shooting location and it's up to the B-actresses to fight back and survive the night.

Movie comes out, and they all attend the premiere and it turns out some sub-Justice League-level CG has been used to just digitally replace the younger actresses and the B-actresses one scene in the movie was cut.

Gonna be hard to get Michelle Yeoh onboard, but I'm sure Monique Gabrielle, Cynthia Rothrock, Jaime Lee Curtis and Barbara Crampton will sign on.

No, Yeoh and Curtis are too big name. We'll get Ginger Lynn Allen, Traci Lords, Cassandra Peterson, and Linnea Quigley.

The post-credits is set at the board room of another studio going, "Well, superheroes and toys and video game movies are dead. The new future is remakes of lovely B-movies if the success of (movie) is any indication. So, we've acquired the rights to our own old 80s franchise to remake!"

We slowly pan down the board room as they talk up their big idea to their boss. We finally get to the big boss and the camera spins to reveal Mary Woronov, smiling.

my original review of poor things consisted of "it's an anime eww" and I was going to write out a whole thing right now to explain myself but I decided it would be too draining mentally and spiritually. basically it's midsommar all over again: people are looking at the film as a powerful feminist statement which is a completely and utterly hosed take if you actually watched the film. the only difference is ari aster did it on purpose, and isn't a pedo afaict

I dont know what's worse, the fact that I only just heard about this Star Wars game today despite it being announced months ago, or that it seems physically impossible for people to not make a star wars story about a smuggler with a furry sidekick who takes on a job from a shifty weirdo with a robot palling around.

I think that Poor Things is probably supposed to fall in the category of movies with premises that are so preposterous that you don't need to worry about the real world implications because it could never, ever actually happen. The premise still feels really icky though, so I'm not sure they accomplished their goal there.

Men infantilizing women, marrying teens, and treating women as property is a core reality of patriarchal society in both the past and present. Presenting it as gross and exploitative is the point.

because as rich evans correctly pointed out, star wars is creatively bankrupt. continuing to pay attention to it is just silly.

did you know you can just not post about pedophilia at all?

you can just not talk about it, and, if somebody else brings it up, you can just not continue that part of the conversation

this works for other horrible things that nobody wants to think about as well, such as torture, or drug addiction, horrifying flesh eating diseases. notice how all of those topics suck and make a normal person sad to think about? so you don't bring them up in the middle of an unrelated conversation and just keep talking about it until somebody tells you to shut the gently caress up?
if torture comes up, you don't have to have a day long discussion dedicated to explaining why torture is bad and how you personally do not and would not ever torture a person

for some reason everybody seems to understand intuitively that, if it's horrible, just one of the worst things, and nobody wants to think about it, that you shouldn't have a protracted discussion about that in the middle of an unrelated topic
unless it's pedophilia
????
for some reason when it comes to pedophilia, somebody has to actively intervene and say something like "hey, stop loving posting about pedophilia you stupid goddamn pieces of poo poo" in order for people to realize they should stop doing that

For them to be identified as "cougars" it would require a group of young men who inexplicably jog shirtless everywhere they go being stalked by them, So it still fits the Decoteau oeuvre .
