Sheng-Ji Yang posted:Star Wars is fascist, Harry Potter is fascist neo-feudal dreck, selfie-obsession is fascist, British soap-operas are fascist, sci-fi is generally fascist, ironic detachment is fascist, porn is fascist. Masscult under imperialism is inherently fascistic. Sorry to spoil your 'fun'. this

Some Guy TT posted:remember when hollywood tried to make catwoman a franchise with halle berry and decided that what catwoman really needed was a bizarre half naked dominatrix outfit with cat ears that bore almost no similarity to the way the character was popularly perceived the era where hollywood adaptations of nerd poo poo were all made with a strong sense of embarassment and shame at the source material kicked rear end

Serf posted:i dunno what's worse, when movies/tv depict americans not torturing people because of course we would never be evil or when they depict americans torturing people but its actually good because hard men must make hard choices or this jack ryan poo poo where they hint at torture and saintly knight jack ryan doesn't torture, he gives the guy food and water by the time you get to poo poo thats ripping off tom clancy like 24 and the call of duty games they barely bother to explain why the torture is necessary. youre just supposed to see it and assume that the guy doing the torturing is a badass who is proving how morally good they are by showign what their willing to do

The Cameo posted:It's pretty much an open secret that Krasinski has been working with the CIA, most recently outed when Josh Olson, who wrote A History of Violence, mentioned on a podcast he does with Dave Anthony that he had a meeting with the CIA (because, honestly, even if you disagree with everything about the CIA, you kinda have to take that meeting just to see what it's like to meet a spook whose job it is to lasso in Hollywood for propaganda), and partway through the meeting, said spook tells him that they already have an actor on board for the stuff they've been discussing. Olson never mentions the guy's name, but Dave brings up the Jack Ryan show a few minutes later and Olson is like "oh, how'd you know?" lmao of course the best the CIA can get is office jim

get that OUT of my face posted:reading Felix Biederman's review of Joker confirmed the thought i've been having for months about it: it's a profoundly OK movie that won't be remembered after Thanksgiving. you know, the same thing that happened with Wonder Woman and Ghostbusters 2016 before it

i think marvel movies are different to 'cinema' in the same way that maybe trash direct-to-video/netflix stuff is. its not that they arent artistically worthy but the way you consume them means that youre judging them entirely differently

Freaking Crumbum posted:saw the third episode of watchmen and i gotta admit it finally feels like it's starting to pick up. my theory so far about the events in ep 3 are the senator that asks laurie to go to tulsa has planned elements of the 7th calvary attack since the beginning, and even planned for the suicide bomber to make his appearance, betting that laurie would stop him and he'd be able to leverage it into incredible PR. The supplemental material site has an extremely ominous letter written by Senator Keene Snr. to Crawford's dad that implies pretty much that, or maybe wants you to https://www.hbo.com/content/dam/hbodata/series/watchmen/peteypedia/03/four-letters-evidence.pdf. I gotta admit I'm digging it so far though. the plot is confused lib mystery box poo poo but the acting and cinematography is pretty nice

Some Guy TT posted:how could nixon possibly gently caress up post psychic squid cleanup worse than george bush hosed up post nine eleven im not sure it would be possible to do that even if he was intentionally trying to do it as incompetently as possible can't it be both? I don't think watchmen america is a full blown dictatorship, and nixon was already shown as pretty unpopular in the comic. the republicans got 30 years by winning vietnam but then everyone gradually got sick of them.
