No woke Batman discussion can conclude without pointing out that the current Batman is written by an ex CIA goon who participated in the Iraqi invasion on 2003.

Goofballs posted:Maybe the translation is terrible but Lacan is unreadable in English, like even worse than Derrida. There is an English writer called Bruce Fink who explains what he was on about in fairly clear terms. Just putting that out there in case someone punishes themselves for no reason trying to read Lacan, you will have a bad time if you do. Zizek’s book in Lacan is good too even if he completely ignores half of what Lacan was saying.

Goofballs posted:That's Zizek being Zizek and its what I like about his books. Fink is a lot dryer but very much doing his best to explain coherently, a task I wish Lacan placed any value in. He doesn't have a lot of rhetorical flourish but you finish a chapter you have whole concept, up to you if you think its cracked or not. I actually really appreciate his book on Deleuze for this same sort of thing. Like he somehow explains Deleuze somewhat coherently while also using it to illustrate diametrically opposite concepts than what D&G were after.

Bust Rodd posted:The article also kind of glosses over a huge component of the show, which is essentially that Wanda is as much of the villain as anyone else, and anytime you see a mortal, non-military person on screen, they are either being mind controlled or they are literally crying in terror or begging for their lives and the lives of their children, that’s how terrible and evil Wanda is. If the show is really about Wanda’s grief and pain and TRAWMA then how can you possibly ignore the grief/trauma/pain she is causing literally 3,000 people whom she held hostage in a helraiser/Freddy Krueger style nightmare for a month. There is literally no sane reading of this show in which Wanda is not literally the supervillain bad guy. Yea it’s odd how no one on Twitter or like io9 or whatever are talking about the message of how someone projecting their trauma across an entire unwitting community is perhaps not a good depiction of processing trauma

Groovelord Neato posted:The second season of the Confession Tapes had a loner kid who got entrapped by a highly paid confidential informant at his mosque. Sometime during the months the CI was trying to talk him into poo poo he'd gone to Pakistan for a family wedding and the feds claimed he'd gone for terrorism training and broke him down enough to "confess" to it. Except the site where he said the camp was located is a dense forest and was practically walking distance from a CIA office and they never went to check. He got 20 something years if I remember right. I’m afraid I must recommend Wendy Painting’s Aberration in the Heartland of the Real. I apologize because it will completely destroy your brain.

Starting JFK and the Unspeakable after a Relistening to death corner’s jfk series. Anyone have more context in the 5th episode? Did he just pull it because of the Jimmy File bullshit? Even if File bullshitted (and I think he was involved in some way as the shot he confessed to about Whitestar he couldn’t have known unless he was involved at the time) I think the kind of narrative he paints in the last episode is still a better explanation than the official story.

dreffen posted:My wife and I went down the opposite path and watched The Leftovers. Perfect time and place for that show. Wouldn’t have had it any other way. Leftovers is a really good antidote for that positive psychology crap that is Ted Lasso. It’s specifically about how trying to ignore the world falling apart leaves you hollow. About the pure terror of faith and uncompromising love for one another.

Vim Fuego posted:The interview episodes are so, so bad. especially when its a topic I have no knowledge about or interest in (this is afaik every interview ep). They completely skip context, fail to introduce the subject in a coherent fashion, and spend the whole time making inscrutable inside jokes and referencing conspiracy theories. The one saving grace is that everyone who interviews on chapo fails utterly at whatever endeavor was the subject of the interview They're fine actually. You could go and get context if you wanted to. The Telemarketers interview was good. I'm not sure what you think they "failed" at.

I love their effusion for Exorcist 3. Just rewatched it earlier this month and the good parts of it are so absolutely astounding for a "Horror" franchise film that it's headspinning. Absolutely Brad Dourif is doing some Marlon Brando tier monologuing and the whole thing is filmed with such skin crawling tension that what anyone else would have tried would come across as cheap but here is just perfect. Such a good loving movie. One of the best of the decade.

Halloween 3 is a great level of goofy but Exorcist 3 just transcends the genre. It’s also, in fairness, a hard one to watch retrospectively as soooo many well regarded movies were influenced by it.
