Civil War was made by a brit. He knows about America as much as I know about Brittan, which is just enough to draw the correct conclusions in a clumsy and hurtful way. Reading the spoilers on the last scene kinda makes me wanna watch it in a sloppy kinda way tho ngl

Tankbuster posted:One of those shows was about the 1997 asian financial crash and the notIMF are shown as offbrand evil capitalists with the one hot blonde lady who can speak korean in kdramas being their spokesperson. The show explicitly shows Karl Polyani's work several times and talks about how worshipping the market is bad and leads to suffering for common people. do you have a name for this one im totally drawing a blank on what this could be unless youre talking about default which is a movie not a tv drama incidentally default is good all yall should watch default https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eQ_dJ-FsbVg

Tankbuster posted:People being mad at the writers for violating the sacred aura of Robert House by putting him in the Dr Strangelove Room which gave him insider info to the war. "No, he is a supergenius who predicted it!" On one hand thats gay as poo poo, on the other hand thats like one of those 50s pulp american supermen people wrote reader's digest articles about. i wonder what ozymandias discourse would be like if there had been scenes suggesting the bulk of his image was just good public relations and that he devoted the bulk of his mental energy to mastering the mostly useless catch a bullet trick if nothing else there probably wouldnt be that whole subplot in the hbo show about him getting spermjacked

Al! posted:i think he has a valid point in so much as like, bioshock infinite is really more about 2012 politics and reactionary american aesthetics than 1912 politics. literally any work of fiction that pretends to be about the politics of a past era is actually about how that era is being interpreted contemporaneously one way you can tell this is true is because hardly any historical popular culture discusses the papacy when until pretty recently it was the one thing people never ever shut up about

I liked "Men" but I also assumed while watching it that he was in on the joke and deliberately making it goofy as hell but maybe he meant it to be a clever, straight thriller and if that's the case he's lost

Garland usually underwhelms me but a war film stripped of its politics, especially american politics is probably the smarter move. i doubt its gonna be the next The Red and the White or anything though lol

It was a very pretty series and goofy as hell but for the sake of letting Nick Offerman really tear at your heart same. scratched the same itch as Maniac, a complete story with beautiful shots of people looking sad set to cool music. Severance was similar but they're probably going to ruin it with another season and/or Walken will die before they wrap.

Space war is the worst subgenre of science fiction Good science fiction should be 99% talking and 1% the main character having a breakdown because a living planet is replicating his dead wife but not maliciously... just because that's what it does.
