Henry Cavill really carries it and the guy who plays Jaskill fits the role too.

Yeah it's a big mess especially the cringe worthy Syfy channel like special effects. But I still like especially episodes like the Striga one that capture the charm and unique feel of the games/books. Plus learning how a hunk like Henry Cavill is obsessed with PC gaming putting 100+ hours into Witcher 3 and beating theTW grand campaign with 6 different Warhammer races.

The Witcher show is awful and Cavill is the worst part of it.

how do you not recognize that making a twee Wes Anderson movie about growing up a Nazi with Hitler as an imaginary friend is parody?

Some Guy TT posted:the eighties had so thoroughly propagandized the american public into thinking that war was inherently good that the idea of a movie saying that actually war is inherently bad was completely inconceivable The text of Starship Troopers is that war is awesome, but the subtext is this is a fascist movie made by a fascist government to recruit you into a meaningless war that can only get you maimed or killed. But people who spent most of their lives studying & reviewing film didn't pick up on the subtext.

the movie is basically a parody of liberal war propaganda that takes it so far that libs can feel something is wrong but can't overcome the contradictions in their brain so it makes them uncomfortable

also its a very fun and entertaining movie which makes libs even more uncomfortable since it doesn't have a flashing sign that humans are the bad guys

Its about a bunch of women working in a strip club who start drugging and robbing the Wall Street guys that come in, set during the aftermath of the 08 recession. Thinking about it its a little too nuanced to be called propaganda (not in a bad sense of the word) but its pretty open about the financiers they're robbing being complete shits. Also the acting is pretty good all around, Jennifer Lopez in particular. I guess it was kind of marketed as a comedy and its certainly got funny aspects but its more a crime drama. I'm in the process of digesting it so ill probably post more later

the description mentioning Girl Crimez made me remember that THE KITCHEN exists and the previews made it look like it took very serious. I bet it's pretty bad, but is it funny? I've been burned by CATS! recently.

They're making a Snowpiercer TV show too, ready to see an American remake completely miss the point of a foreign film? The ad does reference the crazy fan theory of the villain being Charlie from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory though, which is at least worth a smile.

A Gnarlacious Bro posted:The idea that the prequels are rehabilitated seems to exist only in the minds of people who watch long rear end youtubes, similarly I think the "discourse" about the new movies is largely not representative of the actual popularity. Though I know a lot of people who either don't want to see the new films or outright hated them, and even that mild lack of consensus is enough to turn the algorithm ecosystem into constant star wars anxiety. long rear end youtubes which Disney in no way encouraged, I'm sure.
