I went to Costco on Friday. Still plenty of TP and bottled water left, but it was crowded and you could tell there’s a bit of panic buying going on. I’ll bet it’s only gotten more intense since then- all of my local CVS are out of hand sanitizer. Fortunately neither my wife nor I are on any critical prescription meds, but we do have plenty of extra of our dog’s prescription and plenty of food for him.

If you’re still stocking up, I’d recommend getting shelf-stable and comfort foods in addition to calorically dense foods over going full prepper and getting MREs and tons of water. I don’t think it’s likely that municipal utilities are going down because of this thing, and if they do, we’re probably at the point where most of us will be begging to be half-life war boys in our neighborhood Immortan’s army.

The only supplies I'm stocking up on are ammunition. :smugdon:

Its Always Sunny is incredibly political, but they mostly agree with the views of this thread so it is totally cool and good and flies under the radar more because we share those beliefs.




They literally have an episode where a black child is gunned down by police for no reason. That's political.

If something is going to tell me I'm bad for watching whatever for any reason, they should just come out and say it up front instead of trying to hide it in themes and special effects.

The movie explicitly did that multiple times in common English. The rest of the movie was just flashing lights to get people into the theater.

Sucker Punch is exactly the sort of exploitative fetish bait that it’s pretending to criticize. The only difference is that it turns to the camera and goes “isn’t this exploitation awful” and then goes straight back to it. I’d argue it’s worse than the typical sexist exploitation because it’s aware of how awful that is, but consciously does it anyways.

I’d be instantly skeptical of anybody claiming it’s a good MeToo movie

It's absolutely a female empowering movie, just like Kill Bill.

What makes it exploitative?

Doc Hawkins posted:




lurid sexual and physical threats to attractive young women. a premise that places their bodies fully in the control of men and offers them no empowerment except through seduction, seen through the effects-reel set pieces. Internet Wizard already says it: you don't get a pass just because you wink at the camera and say "but it's different when I do it!"

jon hamm's soliloquy at the end was vile, but in a sense perfect. "oh, wow! wow! seeing this mutilated woman has helped me finally feel empathy for her! this has really made me reconsider my earlier criticisms of snyder's ouevre! genius is never appreciated in its own time!"



...anyway, current event, i spent my weekend driving around state parks. i recommend it.

They showed plenty of empowerment without seduction. I'm not sure you're accurately recalling the movie. Most- if not all- of their empowering moments were acts of violence against men.

Is it possible you're thinking of the "dancing" scenes as seduction? The film explicitly does not show a single dance, so you dont have these girls gyrating in an exploitative manner masquerading as liberated or woke. The implication is that performances or dance scenes are actually violent outbursts by Babydoll in the setting of the psych ward, not stripteases. If anything it reinforces the concept of revolution through violence being the only way for an oppressed group to free itself.
