/ent/ - Entertainment

>>8762
Haven't seen this movie, so this is more a general observation.
You have to understand the business model of this type of entertainment, they make lower quality stuff and try to offset that by adding cultural pandering.

I don't know if it's really ego-exploitation, I think women like stories where the protagonist has to resolve relationship conflict. It's a very limiting framework from a narrative standpoint because it's either a man-v-himself or man-v-opponent type of story. For reference the least limited type of story is man-v-environment.

>>8762
damn, i need to see this.

The main character is a neurotic nerd that's dating a chad. Essentially he's all the qualities that women associate with incels. Women HATE seeing beta men, especially depicted in a humanizing light (because it lays bare their own rabid bigotry against them)
Ironically his character is a copy and paste template of most Cinderella style female romance movies.

>>8762
Hollywood still hasn't learned that having all the characters in a film be queer/women/POC is not by itself a reason for people to see it regardless of what their political views are. We watch movies to engage in a narrative for a couple hours. Tell us a story! We'll sniff our own farts and feel smug about how right our politics are on Facebook later.

Also, who the fuck did the producers think would watch a film like that? Only certain women like rom-coms, and they just project themselves into the leading lady's role. Can't do that without a leading lady! Were they thinking that gay men would watch it? While gay men may be gay, they're still men. That rom-com bullshit ain't gonna play with them.

>not watching hours long videoessays materially analyzing the political economy of the world of Shrek 3 and its subsequent echoes on western anime's themes to bring about the revolution
Yikes

Apologies, famrade

Steven Universe isn't fascist, it's pretty liberal. Although the main character is literally the stone if a dead revolutionary who's held in high esteem by most of the protagonists. It's mostly just about family trauma though.

>>7808
Is a TV cartoon the open dictatorship of the imperial finance bourgeoisie in decaying capitalism ?
probably not

Does the ideology off that tv cartoon propagate fascist ideology ?
Maybe, i can't say, i haven't watched it.

On top of being a hilariously awful show with a litany of technical problems and dumb as fuck writing, the overall message is liberal to the core and culminates with the show's big space nazis being given a slap on the wrist.

>it just looks like every generic anime
Wait, have they released concept art/trailers?
>a 2D animated movie that looks like a smoother version of the old Rankin-Bass movies
Yeah that's not happening. I knew a dude on DA who was part of a reboot for Flight of Dragons but it got cancelled with only some refurbished concept art he had posted on his account left.

>>7697
Nothing released yet, it's just what I'm worried about

Watched enough of "Ghostbusters: Afterlife" to say that I saw it.

How much you like the movie depends on how much you liked the GB franchise / early-mid 80s cinema in general.

Seeing the original gang back, albeit briefly, was nice. Ghost Egon was nice and very sentimental. I'm an old person so it would've been nice to have seen a bit more of the OG cast. Kids always act like snarky adults in the movies and, no offense, but I never remember any of my friends or myself acting like that.

The mid-credits scene w Murray & Weaver was a bit stupid, though. Mid- & Post-credits scenes ought to add something / hint at what could be.

I watched the latest dune movie and it was okay, that's the only mainstream shit I've watched since 2016

Can any one recommend me some old japanese live action monster movies? Like with the monster of the week like godzilla or where dudes in spandex fight monsters and shit.

>>8728
Look up super Sentai on wiki.
Thank me later.

There's thousands of episodes and series after series. I like em all so far. I love the giant robot battles of the guys in rubber suits kek Also Zyurangers was what the used to build power rangers in top of and it's hundreds of times better and more captivating.

Streaming companies are making the exact same mistakes major cable companies made: To much saturation in the market with to many options and all behind a massive expensive walled garden of price.

So yeah, people are turning to piracy.

>>8701
kek sometimes i forget how retarded porkies can be

>>8702
Well, its not entirely that. Its note so that in their myopic race for profits they fail to realize the bigger picture and thus you end up with everyone of them competition with one another and that's how you get to the point where its thousands of dollars just to watch the things you want lol

>>8703
Wow, I haven’t seen E-Rotic referenced in years.

I still can't find anyone to play doom with :(

bumping my map from last summer but whatever, it's had a couple of minor updates

>>8690
i'll try it out, i hope it works with the brutaldoom mod

>>8609
I remember when they would have demos of games that you could play on computers at stores. This was one of them. The 6 degrees of freedom was so nauseating that I had to turn away from the screen for a moment.

Doom 3 never got the respect that it deserved. Awesome engine and they tried to put an actual story into the Doom IP other than "Run around and shoot shit." Got toasted by the Half-Life 2 fanbois and the "OMG! Gravity gun! Gravity gun! Did you just see that?! Gravity gun!!!" hysteria.

Kind of ironic that the Doom IP is now more popular with the kiddies these days than Half-Life (although Alyx closed the gap slightly for a bit). Of course, when you find out that you've cornered the market on digital distribution for over a decade before the first credible competitors show up, who gives a crap when HL2 : Episode 3 comes out, amirite?

>>8664
I will… eventually

the reason you say manga are better than anime is because they can hit you with a powerful sensory-emotional overload, and anime don't do that, they are traditional media in the relation to the audience. It's bad for your health and intellect. You become easily addicted and it's also a more solipsistic activity that also can lead to the development of an ill fetishist relation to the physical book object.

>>8669
Every one has something they use to cope with this shitty world under capitalism. Some people do heroin "I like to read high fantasy manga. I think it';s a bit cynical to simply discount these works as "Addictive" as if there is nothing to learn, no information to garner of value, nothing of worth.

I find that far to cynical of an outlook.

>>8671
>as if there is nothing to learn, no information to garner of value, nothing of worth.
I didn't say that.

>>8672
That 2as the implication I was kind of drawing from what you said. If you didn't mean that sorry, but, Still anon.

>Like sure the vid is teensy bit radlibby and silly in its conclusions
thanks for the warning and sparing me that.

Socialist realism was just what most proles and peasants in the Soviet Union wanted to see during that time. Since the proletariat and the peasantry was the patron of the arts, that's what artists produced. In capitalism artists have to produce what people with money want. If you want creative freedom as an artist you have to do it as a hobby. We'll make sure people have enough leisure time to do that.

For entertainment we'll do healthy mental states vs unhealthy mental states. We stick people in a machine that looks at their brain while they consoom entertainment. And then try to support what ever entertainment correlates with the mental states that correlates with good brain health. Basically we are going with neurology over psychology because that has more objective data. Ideologically socialist media is what ever doesn't melt your brain. Because i think that ruling classes try to cause brain damage to the population as a way to make people cognitively impaired enough to be lorded over and screwed out of the wealth they produce.

Censorship was not very effective. I think the most effective tool for shaping the entertainment information sphere was just making sure that there is much more of the stuff you want people to see, so that statistically, people see more of the "correct information". The Soviets banned certain entertainment and in a weird turn of events that was like a stamp of approval that made that media very desirable and also politically credible.

I think we have to make sure that people who create the information that goes in the brain of people have similar life experiences than their audiences. The reason mainstream media has become so unbearably cringe is because people in that system live in a completely different world, and they have nothing in common with the masses.

In order to produce ideological stability i think socialism has to do something that allows people to track where economic surplus and resources are spend, and it has to be very accessible for normal people, basically the complete opposite of the incomprehensible stuff what wall-street does, that even baffles many so called expert economists. I think Socialism does transparent economy anPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

That's a good idea you said about a more transparent economy under socialism

>The Soviets banned certain entertainment and in a weird turn of events that was like a stamp of approval that made that media very desirable and also politically credible.

Very true, Like a troll, Ignoring is the first and best way to curb it, If something anti-socialist does get popular than idk what to do after that tho

>Socialist realism was just what most proles and peasants in the Soviet Union wanted to see during that time
Do you think the popular support of it ever fell out? Was it co-related with people's faith in the direction the government was going in?

>thanks for the warning and sparing me that.
It's not really that bad, It's mostly just talking about Tarkovsky's Stalker and film theory along with socialist and capitalist realism, one of the moments she kind of paints Stalin as an authoritarian who only wanted power kinda thing which is why I called it little radlib-y

I don't know who this Tarkovsky's guy really is but he came off kinda anti-communist in this vid

The insistence on prioritizing Socialist Realism at the expense of based prolekult is what caused Mayakovsky (based OP of the porky meme) to an hero. Terrible mistake. USSR could have dominated the art world as the home of the avantgarde but they chose to bet on promoting themselves as boring and lame instead. This is ur brain on demcent.

>>7820
what's demcent

>Mayakovsky
This guy sounds interesting, Russian Futurist and whatnot and the rocky relationship with the government

>>7821
>what's demcent
it might mean democratic centralism, not sure tho

I FINALLY FUCKING FOUND THE VIDEO that talks all about the halloween franchise

and goddamn it was actually a GT video on how to kill M*ke meyers and not a series retrospective

So the politics of the purge movie
I've never watched it but I hear the in-universe explination is that they let it happen because "it boosts the economy and brings down unemployment"

I don't think the creator intended that to be commentary on how ghoulish the practices of capitalist countries are but it's funny
I'm pretty sure it was intended to be some boomer anarchism bad type of movie
