If you make satire and it ends up as propaganda for the people you're satirizing, maybe your movie isn't good. yeah, all satire is bad, and also all art and all statements that have been made and can be made, really there will always be people who misunderstand

i liked ancillary justice. the titular character was well written imo. didnt care for the sequels, tho raven tower was decent, but very light reading. it was neat how practical and transactional the gods/worship functioned also youre a gimmick

reading Eon by greg bear & this character Lanier is repeatedly described as not caring about sex but earlier he hired an escort as the first thing after returning from space and now he's super horny again. seems like he cares a lot about sex to me  but seriously wtf quote:Sexual passion had seldom dominated Lanier; his drives were normal enough, but he had always been able to ignore them, or control them in inappropriate situations. His two-year celibacy on the Stone had been less a hardship for him than it might have been for others. Nevertheless, he had never been hornier in his life than he was at this peaceful moment.

the weird thing is so far there hasn't been any sex scenes (fade to black). it's just this guys weird characterization. tbh I'm not sure if it's the author doing it on purpose, cause those are the only mentions of sex

the android actors were great imo, also the atheist woman, and matias something who was also in narcos was also good. the bad guy relied too much on unfocused eyes / cricked neck to seem "unhinged", but idk if that was the script or directors cause tbf he does that pretty well FX and design were also good. but the story was absolute garbage after the first couple eps and im annoyed with myself for continuing to watch after i realized

qirex posted:ok I finished raised by wolves and I feel like it basically boils down to “what if humans [and robots] had religious experiences?” no character truly had agency, they spent the whole time getting brainfucked by voices in their heads and reacting to magical-seeming things happening to them instead of choosing to do much of anything lmao i forgot about the voices, its such a cheap way to give characters motivation. also if the voices/visions are supposed to be natural, they keep doing things that the characters dont know so they either have to be supernatural or some kind of intelligent life already on the planet. so i only finished it cause i was waiting for the reveal that the creatures were evolved humans (now youre cannibals!!), but i guess that got pushed to s2 so ill just watch that scene on futuretube if it ever gets made Carthag Tuek fucked around with this message at 00:53 on Oct 17, 2020 |

i just watched the borat II movie guliania probably didnt know she was 15 because the whole borat arrative is a construct created around a bunch of hidden cam pranks. very meta, but it works. anyway it doesnt matter how old she was irl or how old he hoped she was. she was a young journalist who acted even younger, and a non-gross person would keep their hands out of their pants no matter how much their knee was touched. also lmao that they used the "15 cases" clip from mike pence

romance is fine, i just have an incredibly hard time understanding the motivations at play here shes this larger than life joan of arc character who is super badass etc etc who meets this knight who seems familiar at the emperors court. like immediately after, the emperor arranges for them to be married. she realizes that they met once before the main story starts, when they were teenagers, and he literally had his friends hold her down and they all pissed on her which is pretty gross and wtf so now theyre married and he is constantly being an rear end in a top hat and calling her whore and slut, then he goes over to the enemy and gives them intel so they can capture her and send her to her certain death, she escapes and meets him again and he is still being an rear end in a top hat, all "waahh dont blame me, im just a coward, also i hate you and think youre less than dirt" all the while she is so horny that she cant help but smell her fingers if she touches him, or imagine him naked, like it literally fogs her thoughts so she cant pay attention every time he shows up. everyone else is like "why wont you let us kill him???" and now shes pregnant  i bet it ends with him seeing the error of his ways and falling in love with her. e: ive also considered a love potion or some dumb poo poo being in play, but it doesnt seem to be that kind of fantasy (its more like alt-history) Carthag Tuek fucked around with this message at 19:46 on Nov 17, 2020 |
