theyre probably just going to expand the token white guys importance threefold like they did last time once again completely missing the books rather unsubtle point about how there are no good cops

R. Guyovich posted:the theatrical adaptation actually swung back in the other direction. it's a much more book-accurate version without talking gargoyles and with esmeralda death this gave me enough hope to read the article but quote:Disney’s adding one more movie to its lineup of live-action remakes: 1996’s The Hunchback of Notre Dame. Now entitled Hunchback, the musical will pull from both the animated film and the original Victor Hugo novel — but not the stageplay created by returning songwriters Alan Menken and Stephen Schwartz. theyre probably going to add the part about esmerelda being a fake gypsy and keep everything else the same since that's the main thing i can think of that bad writing could try to spin as woke

stormtroopers are actually perfectly good shots they let everyone escape on purpose so they could follow leia to the rebel base the dialog explicitly says this yet somehow stormtroopers cant aim is the biggest plot hole of all time

Frog Act posted:i'm inclined to agree with this, particularly regarding basic critical analysis and examining what ideas a show perpetuates or what the ideological content of a piece of media is. people broadly assume entertainment is an apolitical entity (until it suddenly isn't, but that's a different topic) that merely produces and sells escapist fantasies while being discrete and separate from the rest of society. even though they comprehend these things are commercial ventures and vectors for profit and marketing, the ubiquity of those things ensures everyone in a liberal society accepts them as a feature of life and treats intrusive commercialization like natural law. i am very tempted to go ahead and start a new thread on the subject but i would want to call it popaganda after that tankie blog i like and i am worried people would make fun of me

ate poo poo on live tv posted:I'm 100% on this train with the media I consume. I really don't give a gently caress about the marxist reading of the Witcher 3, or how the latest battlefield is "problematic." Even though I'm generally sympathetic with those concepts, when I consume media, I am doing it for the express purpose of NOT caring about those things. In the rare case I discuss videogames in the videogames forum, I want to know about the mechanics of the game, not about whatever some arm-chair critic thinks about the representation of women in the new Smash Brothers game. witcher 3 probably not worth bothering about battlefied is pro military trash no matter how many women they put on the cover and smash is like the end result of capitalism all the criticisms you mention are cases of missing the forest for the trees and exactly why most critics are considered such a huge joke these days Frog Act posted:yeah I’ve been looking for an excuse to get super stoned and make a long post comparing Oz and SVU by looking st Christopher Melonis characters in both so id post in such a thread this guy gets it

more on producing a better quality of thread the op for best games of 2018 was a generally good read with a good summary of how lots of studios went woke only to hilariously have it be revealed that they were gaslighting shitheads to their female employees but then inexplicably describes far cry as a missed opportunity to call trump bad and then unironically praises ea for emphasizing minority and women active combat personnel in battlefield people are so very very close to realizing that the entire apparatus for producing our mindless media is hosed and that woke branding is a thinly veiled means of trying to disguise these systemic flaws but they always pull back because they dont want to acknowledge the problem is more complicated than kicking out a few token racists now me i dont see the contradiction with looking at both the text and the metatext of any given work of fiction in tandem i honestly find it easier to appreciate that way casablanca is actually a pretty underrated film when you consider the way its subtly pushes the message of how nazis were in fact bad when a couple of years earlier americans were jonesing for president charles lindbergh its a good propaganda movie mainly because no one ever notices that its a propaganda movie

Easy Diff posted:This ad having only a half-second glimpse of one actual black person is bad, but let's not forget the all-time champ in tone-deafness, "that time GE ran a pro-coal ad using Sixteen Tons" i never knew coal mining could be so sexy Farm Frenzy posted:levine said that he didn't intend bioshock to be a commentary on objectivism lol so did brad bird i think its really more a case of he doesnt want to be known as an objectivist socially lucky for him the word of the creator is considered more important in media interpretation than the text and subtext because criticism these days is atrocious

plot holes are a popular thing to attack because theyre considered technical errors so you can criticize them while still holding the pretense that you like the movie as a hole

the main joke of the tweet isnt plot holes its that big budget scripts are being written by imbeciles with connections who get all the royalties while minimum wage interns try to make them readable and a guy who calls himself a film critic thinks standards are too high

i have reluctantly come to realize over the years that ebert was actually bad he was a very liberal film critic in writing style as much as politics and this is the main basis for his reputation which was constantly signal boosted by similar institutions what im saying is plot holes are the washington post fact checks of film criticism does that make sense

hackbunny posted:Why don't you do it? I'm a sucker for critical analysis and if we don't already have a thread for it in C-SPAM, we should we keep talking about doing this and the main reason i havent made the thread yet is because im really busy right now i want to take the time to put serious effort into it the thread will be about american pop culture as a whole and not just film for what its worth

the reason nobody bothers to write continuity anymore is because fans can always be relied upon to make their own convoluted explanations and theories that inevitably have to be reworked when the next movie comes up with something even dumber

i like how they keep promoting this movie as being big in the marvel universe because its going to get into the war between the krull and the scree as if this is some kind of legendary rivalry like rome and carthage have any of the movies even mentioned these aliens before why are they assuming anyone is going to care

timefly posted:If you try to do a sex thing and your partner doesn't moan enthusiastically but rather tenses up and chuckles awkwardly then that means "I don't want you to do that". Yet people act like consent means getting a notarized contract ... If you know you're really bad at reading signals and body language, get verbal consent for each thing, otherwise just caring and reading body language ought to be fine that sounds complicated can you give me a version that can be communicated by george clooney raising his eyebrows were on a deadline here
