Antifa Turkeesian posted:An unfortunate consequence of the 60s being extremely misogynistic was that there wasn’t really any understanding of the difference between sex as an expression of personal autonomy and insanely unhealthy grooming and coercion where a gross libertine was just raping kids because they could get away with it. That whole generation just assumed that any criticism of sex was a holdover from establishment prudery and that a kid loving Donovan could only mean that the kid was empowered and leaving behind hypocritical morality for empowered self-determination. You can see weird vestiges of this attitude in some of the old cults from the era that are still around like the Raelians (I think it’s them—it’s a ufo cult, anyway) that have zero understanding of bodily autonomy and think that anyone who doesn’t want to go to the post-meeting orgy is just a repressed square. See: French intellectuals. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/02/11/world/europe/gabriel-matzneff-pedophilia-france.amp.html This is a highly recommended read. Long story short, a famed writer blatantly wrote about having sex with kids as young as eleven without being challenged. He wrote about the joy of having sex with multiple kids at the same time. Some highlights: Fled to hotels to live with his 14-year-old "lover" (paid for in part by Yves Saint-Laurent). When detectives showed up, he showed them a letter from the president praising his work and they dismissed the reports as coming from a jealous rival. In 1990, a French literary program had a discussion of his latest memoir, which included Matzneff writing about having sex with 11 and 12 year-old boys in the Philippines, calling them a "rare spice". The only person who denounced him on the show was also the only person not from France, she was a Quebecois journalist who got attacked for her prudishness by an editor from Le Monde. When the writer of this article interviewed this editor asking about her defence of Matzneff at the time, her response was "I saw him as a man who liked young women. In France, he was never seen with boys". The same people who ignored or defended his vileness are still influential figures in the French literary world today. He won a major literary award as recently as 2013 when his close friend (who was entrusted with incriminating letters and photos of children when Matzneff feared a police raid) influenced the 9 men and 1 woman on the jury to select him. Matzneff isn't even in legal trouble, but he's whining about how he was cancelled this year because the aforementioned 14-year old, Vanessa Springora, recently wrote a book about her abuse at his hands. It's an infuriating article. Kevin DuBrow has a new favorite as of 03:34 on Aug 5, 2020 |

I knew that the drill sergeant from Full Metal Jacket was a memorable character, but the actor got multiple tv shows out of it where he seems to reprise his role from that movie, and apparently people love the character. Seems weird for a film partly about how war breaks down young men in a wholly unhealthy way, and a character whose abuse most directly led to a boy's mental episode and murder-suicide.

I was watching the original Twin Peaks and I don't know if the way David Lynch uses a man with dwarfism sits well with me. It's not explicitly demeaning, but it just seems like Lynch went "you know what would really make this scene even more otherworldly and unnerving? A dwarf, how abnormal." I'm willing to be convinced otherwise and I know it's positively respectful compared to other portrayals in media. Hell, Austin Powers came out ten years later and I absolutely don't think that the character of Mini-Me is anything but crass mockery of people with dwarfism.

That was an honestly embarassing part of the movie. The first half shows the insidiousness of the U.S. military-industrial complex which is all well and good, but as soon as the action shifts to Hong Kong we get an extended scene of hyper-competent professionals in the Chinese government who spring into action. I guess that's the cost of having part of your budget bankrolled by the PRC.

CharlestheHammer posted:I like the stuff that panders to me and dislike the stuff that panders to foreigners It's not quite the same, though. While many U.S. films are propagandistic, especially about the military, plenty of them, especially from the '80s and onwards have had themes of how the government fails its citizens, victimises other countries or is downright corrupt. China can't be depicted that way without having the movie be banned from the largest international market. Like from my post earlier about Transformers, it's silly when the first half is about corrupt government actors and then there's a scene jammed in about the decisive and competent central government coming in to save Hong Kong.

One of my friends, who worked at said store and thus interacted with a lot of people playing various games, had a whole treatise about this. There's an anime about the Japanese board game Go where the protagonist is told what moves to make by some Go genius in his head, which always struck me as unexciting. Its like using a computer to play chess.

hard counter posted:arch is real bad to be sure and i wouldn't be surprised if he either argued the point ineptly or tried to make a different, dumber conclusion, but i think it's fair to say the imperium is more like a mishmash of various dystopian authoritarian governments blended into a gross soup then amped up into caricature than it is a satire of historical fascism, specifically There's a lot of truth in this, but Arch put forth some pretty bad arguments. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P0nSZ_L6Wto It's an hour long and I admit that I only watched the first fifteen minutes or so, but in that time he puts forth some pretty weak arguments. He points out how the aesthetics don't match up with historical fascist governments, like how the Imperial insignia is based on the Weimar Republic's. That's fine, but philosophically the Imperium is fascism taken to the extreme. Individuality is subsumed in favor of ultranationalism, xenophobia is a cornerstone of society, and political opposition is forcefully oppressed. Sure, you can't have a form of government entirely analogous to WW2-era Italy and Germany when your state encompasses millions of planets, and there are as been pointed out individual worlds can vary widely in how they're run but the philosophy of the universe and lore always returns to fascism. Arch also tries to say that the Emperor let his son lead his armies and entrusted the running of his empire to an advisor, and what kind of dictator would relinquish power like that? He fails to mention that their positions are contingent on the fact that they are subservient to his wishes. Kevin DuBrow has a new favorite as of 08:36 on Nov 10, 2020 |

In Degrassi: The Next Generation (2001) one of the main characters is a passionate environmentalist, and one of the episodes is about a campaign she starts in her high school. The cause she champions isn't about reducing its carbon footprint or minimizing waste, it's that she wants the cafeteria to stop serving GMO foods even if it raises the cost of lunch. In the big meeting with the principal, she gives him a tomato to taste. He says it's fine and then she reveals that it has DNA and that there haven't been any studies on what scorpion DNA does to humans. Later, her stepdad tells her to stop causing trouble and she silences him by asking if he would fine with the new baby eating GM foods

I watched this 90s documentary about child actors from the earliest stars to the modern day and there are a whole bunch of movies I can't see the same way again. There are a lot of  stories but two that come to my mind was how Jackie Cooper often had trouble crying on cue, which was a problem because he was known as "The Crying Kid" and directors were expected to have him cry in at least a couple scenes per movie to bring the audiences in. One time the director had the security guard take Cooper's (age less than 10) dog behind a building and pretend to shoot it, then they shot the scene with him crying about his dead dog. For another extremely young star who wouldn't cry, they took her aside and told her that the family depends on her and would become homeless if she didn't do it.Another is child actor Bill Mumy who was fidgeting during filming of Alfred Hitchcock Presents. He says a sweaty, heavy-breathing Hitchcock walked up to him and whispered in his ear, "I am going to get a nail and nail your feet to the mark, and the blood will come pouring out like milk". There are some heartbreaking scenes where they gather a bunch of former child actors to discuss their experiences and its like a trauma support group, many of them cry. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5U8s9eiLYU Kevin DuBrow has a new favorite as of 15:14 on Jul 16, 2021 |

Has anyone watched Kubrick's adaptation of Lolita? I read the book recently and enjoy Kubrick, but the tagline for the poster is "a tale of forbidden love" and has the 14-year-old actress wearing heart sunglasses and suggestively sucking a lollipop. So it just feels like they miss the point of the novel and went straight to "sexy pre-teen seduces man" instead of "normal young girl kidnapped and raped over the course of years leaving irreparable damage and suffering"

I don't mean to give that as the "point" of the book. I just mean it's a novel with a very sensitive subject that even some contemporary readers took as a riveting tale of love and the poster sets off red flags.

I occasionally see the Japanese tourist trope come up even as late as 2000's Disney Channel shows. It's rarely hateful but often feels disrespectful. I wasn't around for the 80's but it's always a gaggle of Japanese people blindly following a tour guide and mindlessly snapping pictures. Maybe it's true to life but to me it invokes a stereotype of conformity and herd mentality among Asians. Like in Forgetting Sarah Marshall the joke is that they're taking photos of random cutlery.

They're probably talking about the quest where two virginal teenagers are in love but the boy is inducted into the priesthood of some religon and has to be celibate. A possible solution to the quest is to drug him with ant queen pheromones that make him become uncontrollably horny and have sex with her, forcing him to do the honorable thing and marry her instead.

I recently learned of an interview where Terence Stamp, who played the Chancelor in The Phantom Menace, says he was uninterested in the role but accepted it partly because he had a "terrible crush" on Natalie Portman and was extremely disappointed that he had to act against a prop stand-in instead of the actress. He was 60 at the time of filming, and Portman must have been like 16/17?
