female focused where she doesnt take poo poo from anyone or get bogged down in a shoehored romance. liberation of the proletariat from a maniacle dictator. flaming guitar gimp. made by the guy who made babe 2: pig in the city.

I might have said it before, but the best part of that series was giving Daniel Radcliffe enough money that he could do whatever roles he wanted regardless of how low budget or doomed for failure the movie was. Even if some of them ended up being real stinkers.

Rupert Grint has also had at least one good independent British movie since then, Driving Lessons. Probably a lot more but they never got marketed over here. It's good to see child actors not permanently hosed up by the monster that is Hollywood.

elijah wood also does whatever he wants so he's starred in some pretty good sitcoms and directs low budget horror on the side iirc

I liked Birds of Prey because it didn't really feel like it was moralizing or pandering to the audience and they beat up a bunch of cops.

what if punk witch feminism but in the service of the fascist American war machine?

quote:

Motherland: Fort Salem "follows three young women from basic training in combat magic into early deployment" in a women-dominated world in which the U.S. ended persecution of witches 300 years ago after an agreement.

Very interesting! Which begs the question, who are the antagonists here? They clearly can’t do anything in regards to sexism or gender roles, given the premise. Fighting white supremacist occultists on American soil? Pretty bad outlook on the use of military power in domestic spheres. Fighting devious misogynist Islamic mystics overseas? Who knows! The cable network aimed at teenagers certainly doesn’t!

The trailer makes it look like a combination of YA magic and witches fantasy, plus YA coming of age drama, plus wrapped up in a military recruitment propaganda package

Given this I feel like it's only a matter of time before we get a Harry Potter prequel where wizards fight in The Blitz

I always thought the minor background fact in Harry Potter that Dumbledore defeated his German-sounding archnemesis in 1945 implied that there was a wizard component to World War 2, and then along came those terrible Fantastic Beasts movies which I guess confirmed that? Or didn't? I don't know I only saw the first one once and it was really bad so I never saw the other ones.

they love diagnosing problems without offering solutions and parasite gives the viewer a very bleak portrayal of modern capitalism but offers no way out of it

i would argue that at the end ki-taek shows us the way out. the tragedy is in how everything plays out after that of course

The real good news following Parasites victory is that if you, like me, never got around to seeing it in theaters you can probably stream it for free on one of the big services soon. I’m guessing Amazon, because they seem to snag the big ones made by external studios these days.
