Man it's always so much fun when this thread turns to politics, I sure do love reading the same goddamn opinion phrased slightly differently over and over and over and over andCicadalek posted:He has an annoying habit of announcing a twist or interpretation as if it was an earth-shattering revelation. "The book itself is a maze" is not an insight that needed that much buildup. I didn't make it much farther than the intro where he was talking about what an amazing and influential book this was and I'm like, "Bro, it was popular and did some cool stuff but hasn't really made that much of an impact on most creative work."

I heard that Donald Trump is a less than ideal president. Is there any truth to this?

I like Super Eyepatch Wolf but I think he pronounces 'film' with two syllables and I can't un-hear it.

CharlestheHammer posted:Yeah as someone who grew up very poor getting a ticket to see a movie wouldn’t be something I would be extremely excited about. It would be neat but it’s not a transformative experience to see one movie in a theatre Granted kids shouldn't be needing loving charity to have decent school lunches because lunches at schools should be free to begin with.

achillesforever6 posted:Honestly people raising that money sounds like it was a bunch of people at the same time chipping in and it suddenly just ballooning to that amount. What that charity should have done was also direct said people to an actual transformative charity. Clearly this wouldn't have happened with Black Panther.

Sanguinia posted:I too hate charity, and also for children in desperate situations to be exposed to media that may inspire them or at least expose them to a positive message and potentially empowering role-model. All those idiots who paid for young black kids to see Black Panther really should be in prison when you think about it. Raising $60,000 to ultimately give $20,000 to Disney as if Disney doesn't waste $20,000 on napkins every day. I mean, gently caress, maybe petition Disney to offer the screenings for free for underprivileged kids if you really think it's that important. As soon as you start 'buying something to piss off the chuds/libs,' congratulations, this is how and why people get scammed.

i also liked the idea in that post that if this charity scam didn't happen, these poor kids would have to suffer the whims of the 'cowboy channel' instead, and be tragically exposed to, like, Once Upon a Time in the West instead of a loud, stupid, mediocre super-hero movie

I can't fault you for disliking military involvement in Hollywood action movies, but I have to imagine that would be at odds with an anti-war message concerned with the plight of refugees.

The us military helps fleeing refugees by toppling despotic regimes and dropping freedom right on top of oppressed people, citizen. The Air Force has certainly never created refugees, nor blown them apart from a great distance as an incidental part of regular operations. That Vietnamese girl shouldn’t have been so close to the forest.

McCloud posted:I think it's fun there are people unironically stanning for the US military and Faux feminism and organizing "charity drives" that gives money to one of the biggest corporations on the planet. Well, bad news about where food and shelter come from re: charity drives giving money to evil corporations. Movies are frivolous compared to food and housing insecurity, but if kids were invited to see a movie for free, they’d probably like it. Like, the harm of all media being propaganda for the us global empire is pretty diffuse, such that it’s not going to hurt a bunch of kids worse than the years of being stalked by hungry recruiters who are allowed into their school cafeterias. I agree that it’s dumb to act like getting kids a free screening of a movie is some great victory or even particularly meaningful, but it’s not worse than anything else people try to do for their communities.

Spark That Bled posted:So you're basically saying that Captain Marvel is vaporising Vietnamese girls in the new movie, then? A pro-peace message can coexist with the militarism of us culture because people don’t typically think of them as at all related. War pilot is just a cool job associated with freedom and excitement, whereas the horrors of war are perpetrated by bad armies far away, as Americans typically imagine those things. And the movie keeps those things separate as well, as most movies do.

I have to say, I wanted to at least get a sense of what this movie was about, even though I won't watch it because I've lost interest in superhero movies long ago, but that Wikipedia summary made absolutely no sense to me.

Captain Marvel continues the years-long Hollywood tradition of tantrically denying me, specifically, the satisfaction of seeing a Sonic Adventure 2 homage on the big screen. i am so weary. one fuckin quote from such a quotable game is all i ask. if you're going to visually reference the True Ending of that game at least admit it!

All those idiots who paid for young black kids to see Black Panther really should be in prison when you think about it. I was going to say that I recall seeing there was a similar fundraising effort for Black Panther. I think most people would argue, though, that with $60K worth of funds, it would be better spent on improving or adding something more long-term and beneficial to an under-privileged area (say a rec center, or funding for extra-curricular actitivites), as opposed to a film that's over in a few hours and with half of the proceeds going to Disney, who could probably provide five times that amount to a community without their bottom line going into the red.
