Hello, the most recent movie threads have seemed a bit unfocused, this thread is for the discussion of movies we just watched and other anon's takes on them. So, without further ado I'll begin.

I just watched Parasite last night, it was pretty good I think, but not as cutting edge or witty as I was expecting. I thought it was a bit unfocused and threw a lot at the wall to see what stuck, but on the other hand, it was fun and more interesting than most. A solid 8/10.

I do an IMDB rating for each film I watch, for my own reference mostly, but you can see each film I watched lately and my rating if you're curious or want to ask about them. If other anons have something similar feel free to post.

He's a director known for his dreamlike, surreal, and dark films. For example the film Blue Velvet and TV series Twin Peaks have themes such as the darkness underneath American suburbia.

Why are superhero films looked down upon while Wes Anderson films are praised and well received?

Here we discuss woke agenda and forced diversity in media.

WARNING: just because there is a minority or leftist politics in some work of fiction doesn't mean it's a case of the woke agenda or forced diversity, there should be a valid enough argument why the inclusion of minorities or politics feels forced.

See, I knew they were libs. Fuck 'em and their lamenting about their dying consoomer culture.

Furthermore for context, The Women in the Yard either not playing in China or not making money in China):

- It seems to be a supernatural ghost/spirit film. China has banned superstition before or put disclaimers in supernatural stories
(which may have to do with China's history such as superstition during the Century of Humiliation (look up "supernatural Boxer Rebellion"),
and Indonesian communists getting killed because CIA told civilians that commies are having Satanic blood sacrifice orgies, which some say was an influencing factor for China's decision to launch a Cultural Revolution)

- China limits the amount of foreign movies allowed each year, I doubt this low-key unknown supernatural film would get in over stuff like blockbusters such as Godzilla



PS. Alien Romulus was allowed and made lots of money in China and it was shown uncensored! A sci-fi horror was allowed!

Lets adresse some points

<why are horror movies flopping

the real world is slowly turning into one, there is less demand for fictional scary, when there is so much real scary.

<Chinese people don't watch movies with actors that have a dark skin tone.

This could just be a made up psy-op to bias the media industry against China.
If this is true, that is unfortunate, but as long as they are not actively discriminating against people, not wanting to watch a movie can't be racism.
We have an anti-warmonger bias, so we assume that China, Russia, Iran, Cuba, Venezuela,… bad is false by default unless proven otherwise.

<People lacking the discretionary budget to buy movie tickets

Well look at it this way the economy is producing surplus and that can be spend on a number of things. The neocons are popping a roughly 50 million dollar drone about once a week over Yemen, that's 10 indie-movies per week evaporating in the sky. If you go look at the amount of money that was burned in Ukraine … that's more indie movies you could ever watch.

There's certainly communists who criticize the flaws of the Soviet system, and people who want to build a different system.

However people who really hate the Soviets, that always leaves doubts, because of the things the Soviets did, like defeating fascism in WW2.

That's it. We as a society have peaked when this show came out. It was all downhill from there.

This show is what comes up in my mind when I think of the dirtbag left. It's not preachy, not "woke," not anti-white, not misandrist. But most importantly, it portrays black Americans as human beings with realistic flaws that you can relate to or at least understand. This show would not have come out the same today because it wasn't above criticizing the African-American community, it wasn't afraid of calling out real sexism and homophobia within it, it wasn't afraid of criticizing the glorification of the thug lifestyle within the black youth and it ruthlessly mocked Black "Entertainment" Television for stupifying black masses. The show, created by a black communist, was constantly censored for offending white liberal sensibilities. But it also made fun of racism too and showed just how ridiculous it was with the character of Uncle Ruckus. Not only that, but it had a brilliant episode that humanizes gay people (must-watch for conservatives) Nothing was safe from MacGruder's critique. There was even an episode about R. Kelly's trial that criticized celebrity worship. The show arguably predicted radlibs even, with other people attacking Huey for merely being apathetic to elections.

While this show can be compared to South Park, the two shows have very different vibes to them. While South Park revelled in its mockery The Boondocks had a sad and depressing feel to its satire. It's like the author wanted to make a real change but felt as if he was powerless to do so. This really shows the difference between a leftist satire and a centrist one. MacGruder is like a combination of Huey and Caesar: he wants to remain Caesar, an optimistic revolutionary, but he inevitably returns to being Huey, a jaded leftcom.

Honestly, that's not that far off from what a centrist would say. It's cringe but it's true. Weird, shouldn't lolberts be against big corporations?
>Didn't they have an entire running gag which was basically "global warming is fake"?
Did they?

Like, just chatting and keeping in touch yet knowing nothing about each other? It's not even dating, it's just being friends, you name it. I'm up to using some email or torbook. Maybe onion version of reddit?
