I’ll go Cheap Thrills. Rich gauche asshole with younger trophy wife takes advantage of economic devastation to pit desperate people against each other in order to feel powerful and impressive and didn’t think through the consequences.

This is an odd one cus the film is already the defining film of the GWB post 9/11 era and doesn’t have any themes that can really reflect on the 08 crash or Obama’s subsequent failures. Without those contexts you can’t make anything that defines the Trump era.

Good list but I Am Dora Suarez, The Treatment, and the totality of the Red Riding Quartet are the most soul sick novels I’ve ever read. I’d also like to say the online novel Worm has some of the most fucked up and scary moments in the whole of fiction.

That’s your inference. :~)

And yet.

Good for you. Did you know John Lennon beat his wife?

“Elevated” absolutely fuck that.

Its not the genre’s obsession it’s the audience’s and the audience is largely women.

Snyder’s made bad films (aside from DOTD) and is professional and apparently a good guy in his interaction with underlings and actors. Whedon has cheated on his wife and slept with actors he had the power to fire and is apparently abusive to others as well. Certainly easy to see which one is more endearing.

Charles I gave you a little bit of shit on the Witcher article but this is a great article highlighting a great film. Nice work.

Maybe try not sexualizing actors using terms from pornography. We’re better than that.

Didn’t seem like it to me. Some characters made comments that they heard masks weren’t even proven effective and a full-on brawl took place between the people who wore masks correctly and the people who wore masks ineffectively down on their chins (which they brilliantly called chin diapers). That seemed to be the…

2 replies to the same comment. Lmao, big mad. Also you said you don’t care but if you didn’t care you wouldn’t think it’s rad. How inconveniently convenient.

You just said don't care now you say you think it's pretty rad. How inconveniently convenient. 

Reference/nods is one thing, adapting say the full story of Fargo into a TV show is another but Hawley doesn’t do either he just uses really powerful moments in different, lesser contexts. Sure he has permission tho so I’ll walk back rip off but stick with hack. You did make me wonder though if they had much choice in…

I was gonna be glib and just say season 1 and 2 of Fargo but the most egregious sin is when he tries to rework one of the most indelible moments in cinema, and maybe modern storytelling as a whole - the “look in your heart” scene from Miller’s Crossing but with none of the power and emotion.

Can’t wait to see what infinitely superior scenes, moments and moods the hack fool Hawley rips off this time. Ah wait, yes I can.

You have to admire the persistence of people sexually harrassing someone yes of course that makes sense.

I see that the popular misconception of the alt right being.majority incel losers is making people confused about Stormfront. Sure that’s a part of the alt right but there’s an awful lots of successful people who vote Trump and hate minorities. It’s explodes the just world fallacy so I get that people struggle because…
