it's very problematic that this movie did not portray the white supremacists as the heroes of the movie.

Has anybody tried out that Nebula platform that a bunch of creators have set up? If so is it any good?

Antifa Turkeesian posted:I guess the new ride in star wars land is like a walking tour of a bunch of carousel of progress tableaus? It still looks pretty dope and Jenny’s monologue makes it a pretty good found-footage narrative: It's not, but in a way they basically made the queue into an attraction all of its own, which I don't believe Theme Parks have really done to that scale and ambition before. You start in the Rebel hideout, which is the most traditionally queue like portion until you get to the room with BB-8 and Rey's hologram. From there you're ushered into a waiting spaceshuttle with the animatronic Mon Calamari dude, it shakes about and you get more story as the room spins around to empty you out into the actual show building. From there you're pushed out into the Star Destroyer's hanger with the 50+ Stormtroopers while cast members dressed as Imperial Officers bark at you and organise you into separate groups that get shoved into holding cells, where a scene with Kylo Ren plays. Then you're bust out of the cell and the real ride starts

That’s why it didn’t feel cathartic to me kinda? Like I’m not gonna say the family was just misunderstood or anything that stupid but it just rubbed me wrong It just felt like Charles Manson himself was extremely downplayed and almost as if he didn’t even exist. Like plenty more people died. At least inglorious basterds had hitler himself being shot to pieces and not just some nazi foot soldiers. e: Alaois posted:it's very problematic that this movie did not portray the white supremacists as the heroes of the movie. no but the fact that they were white supremacists is never touched on. In the movie their motivation for doing the killings is as a rebellion against Hollywood watho fucked around with this message at 16:09 on Dec 8, 2019 |

It's meant to 'glamorize' them a bit as well by downplaying that, that's the core message of the movie, hollywood wipes away the good and bad to make a simple story.

The Strange Story Behind The Evil Within" https://youtu.be/jXHRdfLnktU I'd never heard about the movie The Evil Within but had heard of grampa Getty being a heartless monster towards his kidnapped grandchild. Absolutely fascinating. The effects look cool as hell and I really like the premise. I'm 100% going to watch it later and get immensely disappointed. Btw has anyone else experienced their YouTube recommendations being impossibly worse than usual? Full Pages of languages I've never typed, recs for beauty expose videos because I had watched Dan Olsons Book of Henry video and minecraft/toy stuff for children because I've watched true crime docs and (what the gently caress) Capturing The Friedmans.

Groovelord Neato posted:The funniest thing about the movie was every review going I'M NOT GONNA SPOIL THE ENDING made the ending super obvious if you'd already seen Inglorious Basterds. that was my issue with it. i knew it would end like that because if he is cool with killing hitler and friends, he is find with offing tex and susan and co. i did chuckle tex getting loving curbed after doing his stupid line. i will agree somewhat with the bruce lee scene, but i kinda take that with grain of salt of it taking place in flashback in Cliffs mind, so i feel like he probably fudged the details. Rockit posted:Seems more like "It's very problematic that the movie made white supremacists stand-in for new female filmmakers" or something like that Given that the OP's podcast link in the reply talking about how hosed manson and the fact the complaint was actually about how he should've been the main bad guy. i mean, those people irl gutted a heavly pregnant woman, so i am fine with their fictional depictions getting loving brutally killed. gently caress em and gently caress the stupid comic.

Even within that though, provided the choice between brutally killing the girls Manson manipulated into his service, or brutally killing Charles Manson, widely considered among history’s greatest monsters? Going with the former feeling gross and worth pointing out seems like a pretty natural reaction. I can absolutely see finding Tarantino’s choice pretty suspect.

It was pointed out that Hollywood has a very odd relationship with Manson in that it's almost reverent. When he died, you'd see celebrities recounting their encounters (even if several times removed like, "I drove past the Spahn Ranch once") like they were Zacchaeus climbing the sycamore tree.

Also to be clear, I liked the movie and I didn’t hate the ending. I just didn’t find it cathartic Also I’m super glad that Maya Hawke bailed out at the end because her being brutally murdered would’ve been kinda weird with regards to her mother’s allegations watho fucked around with this message at 17:46 on Dec 8, 2019 |

I was a bit annoyed with the response from the likes of MatPatt and TerminalMontage and several other creators, so I'm kinda glad Legal Eagle has made a COPPA video yesterday. It's a bit ago, but it goes over everything in a clear sense, explains the exaggerated parts and the actual bad parts, and even if it's somewhat an advertisement for his crash course on copyright for creators, it only, only farts that out late and puts a plan of action that is far more coherent than shaking fists at Helen Lovejoy.

Simultaneously confirm the notion that "the world is going to hell" and that everything's black and white, and anyway the bad guy just got caught, the system's gonna keep protecting me, so I can relax.
