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.

yeah, all satire is bad, and also all art

and all statements that have been made and can be made, really

there will always be people who misunderstand

we were doing a ghibli kick the past couple of months. it was pretty good though certainly their 2005+ movies haven't been nearly as good.

i mean, ponyo specifically is a weird one since it is clearly made for the very young (without pixar wink-at-the-adult nonsense), so it is hard to judge as an adult.

providing entertainment is important and if that means we unwittingly enable fascism then that's just the price we must pay to watch a good movie.

also has the most authentic "using a ham radio" scene that i've ever seen in a film, just about, ever. She sets up what appears to be a Diamond HFV-5 dipole antenna which is very popular in Japan, tunes into a valid voice frequency on the 6 meter band on a radio that looks exactly like an Icom 7000, and uses what would be a valid (though fictional) Japanese call sign. i smiled so big

it's really nice when they get the details right like that

the movie K-19: The Widowmaker is not very good overall, but the part where they go in to fix the reactor is the most accurate welding i've seen in a film. they actually use two different rigs to do the cutting and the welding! first they haul in an oxyacetylene rig with an actual cutting torch fitted and use it to remove the broken pipe. then they pull that out and go in with a stick welder to fit it back together, even properly scratch-starting the arc.

after 10000 films where no distinction is made between welding and cutting, and both are just a blue propane flame that shoots sparks everywhere like they're welding with a sparkler, it was quite wonderful

everyone remembers the final third of the movie (with the dogfights and the submarine refueling) and rightly so, but the middle third (eastwood being smuggled from moscow to the airbase) is a wonderfully grimy and nasty cold war spy movie (ala john le carre) in its own right

lol @ the synopsis for today's Kindle bargain

quote:

Eight self-drive cars set on a collision course. Who lives, who dies? You decide.

When someone hacks into the systems of eight self-driving cars, their passengers are set on a fatal collision course.

The passengers are: a TV star, a pregnant young woman, a disabled war hero, an abused wife fleeing her husband, an illegal immigrant, a husband and wife - and parents of two - who are travelling in separate vehicles and a suicidal man. Now the public have to judge who should survive but are the passengers all that they first seem?
