Hollismason posted:Howard also wasn't racist and actually pretty progressive. Like for his period he had pretty progressive views. Robert Howard was anti-imperialist (in a sense) and did hold some other cultures in high esteem, but he was still heavy into racial science and similar bunk. He might have been anti-WASP but he wasn't anti-racism.

King Vidiot posted:I'll tell you what doesn't eat rear end, Color Out of Space. Holy poo poo was that good, like a modern retelling of that meteor story from Creepshow by way of a Brian Yuzna-esque Lovecraft adaptation. All it needed was Barbara Crampton, but then you could say that about any movie. Its a very solid example of horror as the monstrousness* of getting exactly what you want. *Don't know if that's quite the right word.

Thundercracker posted:Shin Godzilla is so perfect, and using "Decisive Battle" from Evangelion is chef kiss good. I really love how level 1 Godzilla is just googly eyed doofus, but at when he's evolved and unleashed it's just awesome and horrifying. I know people love the laser show, but I think the biggest "holy poo poo" moment is when the big floppy googly fish stands up. "Oh right. This flat gently caress is Godzilla."

Space Cadet Omoly posted:One flew over the Cuckoo's Nest has a lot of weird sexist undertones. All the patients are men and all the problems they have are because women have emasculated them, the only good women are prostitutes and what makes them good is how they are readily available to men sexually. This ties into what Franchescanado was saying earlier about how most people in the institution are there on their own volition and don't see themselves as victims until McMurphy tells them they are. Their abuse in the institution is being compared to domestic abuse, with the inmates as the battered wives. Although I wouldn't say that the story is about a fear of powerful women as such. Chief wasn't emasculated by a women, but by racism and the US government. Schwarzwald fucked around with this message at 17:47 on Aug 10, 2020 |

Space Cadet Omoly posted:She sold her soul to be "Camp Champ", so like she condemned herself to eternal damnation so she could be popular for a few weeks at a summer camp. There's a weird secular Christianity to the Care Bear films (and shows of that ilk) where its basically sunday school but with God and Jesus crossed out (so to speak) and Brave Heart Lion penciled in.

STAC Goat posted:I mean, if you go with the "love one another" idea of Christianity then yeah, I guess "love and caring stops evil" is kinda the same thing. I'm not sure the Care Bears were really indoctrinating anyone though. I guess maybe I should rewatch them and see. It's been a while since I've watched them myself, but I remember them being fairly preachy. I remember thinking they weren't too different from the weird cartoons that Focus and the Family and similar groups produced. There share a structure where the protagonist kid will be tempted to Do A Bad Thing, be warned against this by the stick-in-the-mud friend, ultimately succumb (frequently from peer pressure), but ultimate be saved by faith in Jesus/caring a whole heck of a lot. Same with the DARE cartoons now that I think of it.

STAC Goat posted:I mean, maybe, but is not doing bad things because you care about others really a bad thing to be preachy about? I mean, yeah I guess that's the basis of Care Bears. They're magic teddy bears who look after kids who need someone to care about them. It strikes me as sweet and basically good. Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to say the films are somehow malicious or anything like that. I'm just saying that it's weird. The suits at American Greetings decided to design a story that wouldn't be of offense to anyone and the committee came up with a "vulnerable child tempted is by Satan, is saved by teddie bear." That's wild! There's also the angle where the kid being corrupted by a book a magic came out at the start of the D&D moral panic. flashy_mcflash posted:I don't remember the original Care Bears movie at all but Care Bears II was the poo poo. That's when they expanded beyond bears. Love the CBEU 11-year-old me thought it was bullshit Dark Heart lost his powers when he became nice and 11-year-old me was right.

Iron Crowned posted:Fantasy as a genre has mostly fallen out of favor. It was practically dead when the Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter movies were coming out, and nothing else really took up the mantle. If anything the Hobbit and Fantastic Beasts movies are the nail in the fantasy coffin for a while. GoT's conclusion certainly did it no favors.

Drunkboxer posted:Yeah do they ever address why everyone just immediately jumps to murder? It’s always the rich people going on poor person hunting safaris. Isn’t it supposed to be anarchy? Why is it still just The Most Dangerous Game style capitalism? Why are the rich teens with baseball bats so invincible? Where are huge drug fueled public orgies that all the freaks would actually be doing? Where are the huge contraband farmer’s markets that would definitely be there? Where are the killdozers knocking down bank vaults? Why does everyone want to murder so badly? The 2018 film addresses most of those questions.

dorium posted:A semi-recentish episode of an online movie chat about show talked about PG and they really nailed down that the girl character is the lynchpin to it all. Either you learn to love her or she just runs rough shod over the easily enjoyable parts of the movie. It can be a hard movie to love and that’s alright. Agreed. She's terrible in the very specific fashion of a certain sibling dynamic, and I don't know what I would have thought of her if I hadn't been familiar with that. As it is, I thought she carried the film.
