because mafias and cartels are the fundamental economic units of imperialism. the hollywood movies are recruitment ads for the next generation of imperialist gangsters. of course capitalist propaganda will glamorize these criminals.

>because mafias and cartels are the fundamental economic units of imperialism.
This reminds me, how did the mafia go from beating up workers on strike in Italy to being involved with unions in the US like in Goodfellas and The Irishman?

Goodfellas:
>If any truckers or airlines gave us trouble…
>…Paulie's union people scared them with a strike. It was beautiful.

Furthermore, what about other mobsters such as the ones that dealt alcohol during the prohibition and Chinese triads?

This is the capeshit film thread
Discuss capeshit
I'll admit I hate Marvel films, first off they're some of the glowies films out there, every single one fellates the Pentagon. The plots are almost all identical, filled with general pro-porky propaganda. The jokes are overdone and stale, literally Adam Sandler humor. The CIA is shit for such expensive productions. The characters are getting stale. Fuck these movies, death of cinema shit piles.

What's happening is that a bunch of Marvel characters will be facing off against Doctor Doom, who's the villain.

My worry is about Doctor Doom is that he's played by the same actor that played Iron Man, which could come out questionable if they decide to go a certain way instead of letting Doom be Doom.

I don't know, I kinda didn't watch the MCU in a long time, but there's characters from previous films appearing in it. MCU films but also characters from Fox's X-Men original trilogy (the 2000s one). I don't know how relevant the previous films are.

They kinda got me on the nostalgic tip, but I don't know if I'm actually gonna head to a theater for it, if you know what I mean.

Didn't that get retconned a million times? I really liked the quicksilver one. I might pirate it! The last one I watched of Marvel was Spiderman's Far from Home sequel, I forgot the name.

What's your favorite eastern movie anon?
I recently watched the Turkish film "The color of pomegranates" (which follows the story of poet Sayat-Nova) really great film, instantly spiked to one of my favorites of all time, even if I'm still yet to rewatch it.
That left me thinking, what is YOUR favorite eastern movie and why? I feel like some of the biggest gems in cinema history are hidden in the middle east and south-east Asia, what do you think?

I'm tired of weebs shitting on Western pop culture. What excuse do these mfs have to shit on Western pop culture if they themselves watch some mediocre harem and isekai slop? Western pop culture isn't bad, we have a rich back catalog of great Western works waiting for us to discover them. Neither did it become worse, all the good and promising talent just went into the indie and AA segments so basically the West sorta relies on doujin circles for releasing great games, comics, cartoons and music which is fairly unique to it compared to the Far East. And even AAA game studios, Netflix and cartoon channels, with all their DEI, dwindling quality and appeals to the lowest common denominator, still occasionally produce some bangers (CDPR, Rockstar, id Software, MachineGames, io Interactive and [adult swim] still look promising despite all the fuckups).

So here's my message to the weeaboos: stop shitting on something you don't understand and having a superiority complex because you watch moe girls flashing their panties and jiggling their tits on-screen. Sure, Western pop culture is in its late-capitalist casual-friendly pandering enshittification phase but it's not all doom and gloom, even though it used to be better when it comes to the mainstream pop culture. Or maybe it became too mainstream so the indie scene is sort of a counterbalance to that? Remember how gamers were often bullied for their hobby? Now everyone and your dad plays video games and it obviously affects their quality.

No other medium was affected by commodification as much as music. Mainstream music was trash even before the 21st century, it was only a matter of time until Western big-budget movies, superhero comics, TV shows and AAA games became trash, I think it's just a natural coarse for turning art into business. It's terrifying how many shitty pop songs major labels manage to pump out in one year, pop music is the precursor to YouTube's content farms. Same for broadcast TV tbh, broadcast TV is the worst.

You know, even if kids' cartoons are dying adult cartoons are taking their place, being free from the restrictions kids' networks would put on them. I don't see American animation becoming worse, it's just different now than it was before. But even kids' cartoons of yesterday weren't as immature as people claim them to be, they're not Peppa Pig or anything like that. Why do people think that anything other than FOX, MTV, Comedy Central and Adult Swim projects is just variations of Peppa Pig or Dora the Explorer?

Kids cartoons even today are superior to the average adult cartoon.

Most adult cartoons rely on constant toilet humor or “nihilism” (which is really just hatred for work and decent company)

Difficult to say.
Jiri Barta's 1986 Krysar comes to mind. It's a very weird Czech adaptation of The Pied Piper of Hamelin, complete with a wild European prog soundtrack. It's possible that I like the 1967 folk horror film Viy better, but Krysar is really more unsettling.

Disney, wtf? Of all the cartoons to base a live-action remake on you didn't choose one of the most obvious ones? It could've been something actually refreshing. The plot wouldn't change but at least it'd be something interesting. 90% of them aren't even good, such a waste of money, talent and resources.
