KOTEX GOD OF BLOOD posted:this is verbatim what i was expecting from this. just another inception. i liked the insanely low stakes of inception: repair a dudes relationship with his dad so he breaks up his giant company (paid for by the owner of a rival giant company). succeed or fail they all get off the plane (in various states of mental distress)

I liked inception but also i don't even really have a concept of "a christopher nolan movie" because maybe 10% of his output has ever actually impacted my exocrust i just viewed it as a clever scifi film with a nine fig budget so they could show off that year's camera tricks or w/e

christopher nolan movies, not counting batmen: memento: a noir-ish pseudo-thriller involving changing timelines! inception: a action-ish pseudo-thriller involving changing timelines! interstellar: a sci-fi-ish pseudo-thriller involving changing timelines! tenet: reportedly some sort of pseudo-thriller involving changing timelines!

im slightly curious about tenet but all i have is cam rips, and i store those for strictly archival (in case society collapses) instead of viewing (in case i want to watch it) purposes

I'm not going to lie, i put on Wolf of Wall Street a few months ago, got to the opening scene where he's snorting bolivian flake off a model's rear end, and just stopped it with "that's it. that's the film, you got the money shot"

it's very long. some of it is interesting, but it feels every minute of three hours long. after the second hour i definitely did not give a gently caress about anything happening any more

it's fine. jonah hill vacillates between funny and tedious. there's a lot of debauchery that while entertaining, probably could have been cut to get the film down to two hours or less. or maybe not. i don't know what the message was

I haven't seen wolf of wall street but the message a lot of the worst people got from it was "being an alpha bro finance douche is totally awesome [the bad stuff won't happen to me because I'm smart though]"

see that's the thing. all the stuff that I associate with the series isn't really in the first one that much. reggie the balding ponytailed ice-cream man turns up about 3 times as a side character and just vaguely helps out even though he's arguably the main protagonist of the later films. the balls - the iconic image of the series, well there's just one and it kills one guy and then gets destroyed. even the Tall Man doesn't really do a whole lot directly considering he's the main villain. it was still ok to watch for the terrible acting and silly effects, but i think it's easily the weakest entry in the series Sweevo fucked around with this message at 15:39 on Sep 29, 2020 |

I kinda think it is though. If you make satire and it ends up as propaganda for the people you're satirizing, maybe your movie isn't good.

Metal Gear Rising is probably the worst example of this. The main villain is a burly fascist superman who gives a literally fifteen minute long speech at the end of the game about how awesome fascism is and how modern society is full of self-absorbed degenerates who need to be killed. Then the protagonist says "waah you're stupid!!" and then they fight. I wonder why tens of thousands of basement-dwelling creeps think this villain is "based". Real head-scratcher. It mostly just got an eye-roll from me when I played through it although this was back in the Before Times. e: I think he literally says MAGA at one point
