What’s the point? Not even an hour had passed after The New Yorker piece was published before the conversation turned to why none of these women had said something earlier making it their problem and, conveniently, taking all of the attention away from HW. The same happened when Paltrow and Jolie’s statements were…
eyeroll away, it’s your opinion on a subjective scene that probably could have furthered its point in other ways but didn’t.
Yeah that alone has me not interested in seeing it. And let me guess the mne by comparision are all dressed up and never really objectified -_- Im so over this ridiculous objectification/sexualisation that is almost always 95% done to women.
Does it, though?
Seriously? ALL of it was sexualized. All. I honestly cannot make sense of what you said.
The context is BOOOOOBS.
Yep.
they portray Harrison Ford as having a bigger role than he does (maybe other women dislike him for no particular reason, as I do)
It is difficult given that the white maleness is one of the (bleak) features of the world it’s in; and because many of the women would be programmed for men, they don’t have agency or -yet- really have the ability to function as leads. It is also presented that K seems to genuinely love his Joi, not because she…
I thought the movie was visually stunning (especially the Las Vegas scenes), if not slightly too long. I don’t know if I would call the overall movie feminist, but I didn’t think about the ending in that way, so I think you’re right to a degree. The rest of the women in the movie though were basically the sidekick of…
Seriously, one of the things I liked about A.I was that they had a male sex worker bot instead of the ol’ cliche of only showing female sex bots.
“The real trick now is to expand the audience past older men.”
Calling this movie feminist seems like a pretty bold take, to me. Other than baby replicant, who is comically physically fragile, the female characters are either pretty, skinny, and naked, or over 40 and aggressively desexualized. There isn’t a single woman who doesn’t function as a disposable commodity. I can buy…
No no no.
To be fair, it was also a terrible movie. Was there a reason for all of the tits? Real ones, fake ones, giant mannequin ones. I was like, for a movie that seems to be about searching for a lost child, they certainly didn’t skimp on naked breasts.
My husband bought our tickets to the movie but I also went, and I’m sure it was like that for many people. Such a dumb premise for NYT to jump from, IMO.
We went last night, and because of kids getting Columbus Day/Indigenous People’s Day off from school, there were a lot of kids in the audience. The theater was…
I cannot, for the life of me, understand why a sequel for a movie that’s 35 years old that flopped the first time, was believed to be a safe bet for a block buster. Blade Runner is a weird, moody, movie. It’s not exactly tent pole fare.
Really? I found them flat. And I love Cameron from Halt and Catch fire. I didn’t feel like they gave them enough material to be more than eye candy.
Alternative pitch “Millennials killed Blade Runner 2049: Dirty poor people continue to not spend their food money”.
But yes, the first film was also not a financial success, and to its credit in terms of being a sequel no one asked for, actually is a decent film (in terms of being a blade runner film, which is NOT…
