You're watching a NatGeo documentary, of course they're not going to go all-in on how creepy these people are, because they're initially broadcasting on some NatGeo channel. You can't show the extreme misogyny behind imported wives without disturbing a large portion of the audience, who only want to see an entertaining piece of information on the subject. The audience wants to be a little grossed-out because that's where the interest is, but they don't want to watch something too soul-crushing, in which case they'll simply turn it off.

Then why the gently caress make a documentary about it in the first place. Like, that's really not a subject you can kid-glove without it just coming off as really really... off. I Think We're Alone Now levels of creepiness are the baseline for it.

Also, best political film is Tetsuo: The Iron Man, suck it nerds

Does anyone know what the score for The Purge 2 is like? It looks awesome but I can't imagine anything but an ultra-80s John Carpenter esque synth score fitting it, and the lack of that in the trailer is mildly worrying.

Unpleasant movies can be dope, but frankly if there's nothing there but unpleasantness I can't get behind it.

Like, I love Eraserhead, Only God Forgives, Possession, and Come and See (which I really need to take off of my shameful list), but I somewhat dislike Salo and Antichrist and I've really soured on Cannibal Holocaust, because with all three they come off like the filmmakers were thinking "I want to make a movie that shocks people!" rather than just telling the story they wanted to tell and having it coincidentally be super uncomfortable.

Ugh. If it was just a short story about a dying old man seeing his imaginary friend from childhood again, it would be sweet, but the shoehorned in C&H stuff really drags it down.

You know, I feel like I shouldn't be saying this given its history, but fuuuuuuuck the Tangerine Dream score for Legend is good. I honestly like it better than the "real" score.

I really wish Tangerine Dream and Vangelis would do film scores again, one of the best parts of GTA5 was the TD work on the score.

I've posted drunk, high, on shrooms, on doses of Adderall that would kill a bull elephant, blacked out on klonopin (much to my embarrassment), and on painkillers.

I mean, other than "high" the rest of those have only happened once or twice, but I think about a third of my SA posts have been made stoned out of my gourd.

So this has just been like an entire day when gen chat has been having dumb arguments about how their personal taste is somehow the correct taste to have even though, especially when it comes to food and drink, that's something that just plain varies from person to person without much that person can do about it, right?

I wasn't really arguing with his taste, just pointing out that he basically sounds like a time traveller v:v:v

On an unrelated note I've been watching an old 80s anime called Armored Trooper VOTOMS and uh it sure is a thing. I was digging the gently caress out of it for a while but then the female lead got kidnapped and gang raped out of nowhere. Jesus gently caress. :catstare:

Slice of life: guess whose debit card got stolen by a trucker who proceeded to buy 200 bucks worth of gas using my paycheck!

Fortunately Bank of America is letting me do hell of chargebacks, but I have a feeling I'm banned from a lot of Illinois truck stops.

(Not that it matters, since I live in Texas.)

The angry texting had nothing to do with her locking me in and everything to do with me being scared shitless that she was breaking up with me because I threw out a lot of my life plans to be with her and didn't really have a backup plan.
