Star Wars is fascist, Harry Potter is fascist neo-feudal dreck, selfie-obsession is fascist, British soap-operas are fascist, sci-fi is generally fascist, ironic detachment is fascist, porn is fascist. Masscult under imperialism is inherently fascistic. Sorry to spoil your 'fun'.

She still ate poo poo though and was wrong. The worst thing about the season is that none of the plotlines intersect with each other in a meaningful way and it ends on a big cliffhanger. It's nice that they're confident in producing another season but there needs to be some kind of genuine emotional climax. Miller's goop ghost really wanted to die, so his death doesn't really have the tragic resonance the other seasons had. Plus there's always a chance he could come back anyway so it doesn't really feel final. It seemed like characters are being retired or killed because the actors are old and they want to move on.

i liked ashford but that was definitely an actor wanting out way to die

season was pretty good, glad theyre done with the protomolecule forever... hopefully? burning the final bit in the ship seemed like a definite end. cliffhanger ending sucked, wanted to see billions be obliterated

it's super old school serialized poo poo and it loving owns

i think the hard truth of it is that its hard to build charismatic... characters out of a dude whose face you cant see and barely speaks and a baby. i still like it for what it is though, a serial western.

why do people try to defend The Last Jedi because of its “themes” or ideas? whatever ‘ideas’ it has are stupid Hillaryman poo poo or generic lib poo poo that it constantly contradicts itself on. The “commentary on Star Wars” stuff is boring wankery. Anything even vaguely progressive that it mawkishly half says is inherently bullshit coming from Disney.

it’s only real value is that it’s saying something about the franchise itself and that’s frankly worthless navel gazing.

It shows a little promise at times but consistently shits all over itself any time it could be vaguely interesting. It’s ambitious in a sense, but it’s like a child’s idea of what would be ambitious and it never commits to anything it’s saying or doing. To me that makes it even more of a bummer waste than TFA, which was also doing commentary on the franchise but at least it knew it was hollow.

the throne room fight was pretty cool

good enough for you to post a tearful rant about how it should have won best picture because unlike parasite it's a satire of class struggle?

i watched parasite and parasite was definitely better but a lot of the criticism ive read of joker was pretty bogus

i figure im the last person to watch joker on the entire internet so its fine to spoil it but the only thing i didnt like was his final line before shooting de niro. directly acknowledging himself as an Alienated Loner seemed way too weirdly self aware and on the nose. the politics was over the top, which i kind of loved actually, the scenes in the subway where everyone is reading papers just titled KILL THE RICH

the movie is obviously a direct response to the 2000s batman movies, especially dark night rises.

I have been meaning to watch the third season of the original, I binged most of the first two seasons in like two very drunken nights. Not sure if I would hate it now. I mean on one hand US loving with South America and the drug war, OTOH JFC Escobar was a monster.

third season is good but its about cali and none of the characters are as interesting as pablo. narcos: mexico has a similar problem, but i think the actual quality of the show has increased
