A part of me wants Half in the Bag to do an episode on Cuties just to counter all the lovely qanon baiting from tradcaths and chuds online who haven't actually watched the movie but are swearing it's child pornography because it has clothed girls dancing in it, but on the other hand I really don't want them to attract more ire and also it would probably lead to more of their cringy rants about how people younger than them are dumb.


Spending 20 years laughing at the same joke which was itself a 30 year old baby boomer meme when it was made while acting like you're edgy and cool for doing so is a pretty good distillation of modern GBS humor.

Well don't leave us hanging, it sounds like you really enjoyed Cuties?


Edit: It would be funny if RLM advertised they were going to review Cuties but instead of the Netflix movie it was the slasher film instead.

Hey Quantum of Phallus, instead of spending your time having a laugh about 9/11 maybe you should be watching this video of 10 year olds grinding, instead. :smug:

I grew up in an extremely conservative Christian household and was constantly told that I should repress/be ashamed of my sexuality (especially since I’m bi). I rejected that belief system, and would never want that for my kids. But I still think something is pretty off about a TV-MA rated movie about 11 year old girls twerking on the internet, regardless of what message it’s supposed to have. Especially since the trailers portray the whole thing as some kind of liberating experience.

Though, maybe I’m just not a refined intellectual like Sleevless, and my provincial mind can’t see through to the deeper meanings of the film.

It's a movie about a muslim girl who rebels against her families conservative values & joins a dance troupe that encourages her to become more and more oversexualized. This is depicted as a bad thing in the film (to the point that she has an emotional breakdown mid-routine), and she symbolically abandons both the troupe and the conservative values at the end

It draws from the director's own experiences, to the extent that the main girl is french-senegalese (same as the director)

The marketing is as if you advertised Supersize Me with posters of athletic hip models skateboarding while eating fries

So you basically became exactly what you hated with zero self-awareness of the fact, congrats. Maybe you can mansplain to the black woman who made a movie based on her personal life experiences with the intent of educating other people about the exploitation that occured to her and her peers as children that she's being sinful problematic while you're at it.

Lol, cool yeah I’ll get right on that.

In mean time you can watch a film with scenes of 11-13 year old girls slapping each-other on the rear end, secure in the knowledge of your artistic, moral and intellectual superiority.

Also, France took in Roman Polanski after he fled the U.S. rather than face charges for raping a 13-year-old girl.

In all fairness, I do understand the context of the life experiences of the French-Senegalese filmmaker, and the ultimate message. This isn’t the sort of argument that I relish, and I apologize to Sleevless and any one else on the opposite side. I don’t want to come off like I automatically think that you’re terrible people just for disagreeing with me.

But, beyond the marketing being complete pedo-bait, I do question the film’s methods; especially since it brings up a lot issues. Such as, does an 11 year old actress, who is well under the age of consent and too young to even watch the film without an adult present, fully understand the sexual things she’s being asked to do in front of a camera? Or do we really need this many sexualized scenes, including long shots of the butts and crotches of children to drive home a message that sexualizing children is wrong?

I don’t give a single poo poo what consenting adults do. But with children, I have to draw the line somewhere, and this is it for me.

Anyway, that’s all that I’m going to say. It’s too ugly of a topic for a thread about lovable hack-fraud schlubs from Milwaukee.

cuties is going to be another one of those things were 90% of the people locked in to a giant undying internet argument about it, including ted cruz see below, has not nor ever will see the movie, and will just be arguing about what they think the movie is about based off of some trailer, if that.

https://twitter.com/SenTedCruz/status/1304754228477472768


by the way I have not seen it, probably won't see it, barely know anything about it except about the director and what they were trying to do, and just want to point out that you may want to see a movie before rushing off to discuss in it in some capacity.
