What did you guys think about the South Park episode about this very subject? I thought it was OK, but Parker and Stone are libertarians who are rich enough to not face reprocussions. The episode did get South Park "banned" in China, but it's not like they will give a poo poo.

get that OUT of my face posted:i'm convinced that a big reason why nu-metal was popular was that middle-school aged boys in the late '90s wanted an alternative to boy bands. i should know, i was one of them Yeah. It's one thing to like superhero movies. It's another to think Marvel Movie #3234 will be remembered in 20 years. Remember when Sam Raini directed Spiderman? No, you don't, and the cultural zeitgeist will forget these cookie cutter movies as well. Also, the whole question of nerd identity and the novelty of the "new".

Some Guy TT posted:the head of the most powerful studio in hollywood either sincerely believes that black panther is a comparable piece of filmmaking to the work of scorcese and coppola or just thinks that acting like it is will score him points in the field of public opinion When enough margilized peoples will stan your work for a little bit of lip service, does the end result actually matter?

She was pretty good in Lost in Translation.

Watching Isle of Dogs and I'm enjoying it. I remember when there was a small controversy with this film when Wes Anderson was accused of being a "White Savior" and culturally appropriating Japanese culture. Whatever, the way they use actual translators to translate Japanese to English is novel.

Nerd Culture Delenda Est. It's amazing how nerds will go up to bat for monstrous corporate entities when given a bit of lip service. It's like being a Sanders supporter, but with junk movies. i say swears online posted:Yeah the first and prairie sections were best but i was entranced by the tom waits one because being in the mountains totally alone for significant amounts of time is something I've done and loved. The loneliness is terrifying I thought that viginete was weaker compared to the others with the trademark Coen Bros dialogue. If I were to rank the stories in Ballad of Buster Scruggs, It would go: 1-The Mortal Remains 2-Ballad of Buster Scruggs 3-Near Algodones 4-Girl who got rattled 5-All gold Prospector 6-Meal Ticket.

Freaking Crumbum posted:"you're a colossal gently caress-up on a scale of magnitude that is difficult to over-exaggerate and your reckless actions are both wildly illegal AND have placed hundreds of innocent lives in danger. despite all that, a woman is still going to at all and i serious do not understand why anybody would want him to continue to exist in the plot. he has no connection to rey turning into kreia from kotor2 and he's been usurped from his role participating with Finn implementing luxury gay space communism by rose He's just going to be Rey's love interest in next movie.

Pener Kropoopkin posted:From the beginning to the end, the only thing that changes is a bunch of #Resistance members die. Nobody grows or changes. Rey is in the exact same spot at the end as she was at the beginning. Nobody goes through an arc, and any threat of character development is precluded by the fact there has to be a sequel. They could have just killed off Leia, but they didn't have the balls. Laura Dern's character could have been interesting if they didn't gently caress up her storyline. The hard rear end superior taking down the hotshot is a trope as old as time, which is fine. However, there was no need to keep her plan secret from the crew for the sake of tension only to culminate in a cool looking futile sacrificial effort. Serf posted:what's amazing is that it is bombing at all. every review is like "this movie has lots of fun stuff in it and everything you could want to see in a star wars movie and it loving sucks" So like video game reviewers. Complain about the game endlessly, but end up giving it a score no less than 8.5 while claiming that there is "something for everyone".

Dr. Killjoy posted:once upon a time in Hollywood It portrayed Bruce Lee as an rear end in a top hat and beaten by a white man! (never mind that Lee was a bit cocky and it's totally plausible that a fit, former Military stuntman could hang with am elite martial artist). It portrayed violence against women (who belonged to a cult that commuted murders to ignite a race war). Identity is important, but it can be blinding. As a Latino, representation is important, but context is doubly important.
