It was alright, people who gave it a sub 5/10 score might have unironically just been too low IQ to understand it.

I wanna eat Aubrey Plaza's butt.

How does he do it?

Give him an Oscar!!

I watched American Sniper which is 2 hours of him shooting brown people and trying to be a hero and a good husband. Which he ultimately is, but the tension of his portrayal of Chris Kyle as a tryhard insecure freak makes the movie great. I don't think that was baked in the script. A different performance or even a better performance and the movie would be boring af. A confident, strong, but damaged American Sniper sneeding and coping over duty and war while also sorta getting off on the action?? Get that shit outta here!! I want desperate and weird American Sniper.

Perhaps Cooper studied the real Chris Kyle because if you read his wiki page his weird tryhardyness may be what ultimately killed him. His desperate need to be a hero caused him to spend time with a PTSD schizo he didn't even like. When the schizo couldn't handle the bad vibes he randomly shot American Sniper.

Politically, the script was pro-war I guess . But it didn't make me wanna go into battle, especially with American Sniper. It's perfunctory touching on veterans' disillusionment is quickly dismissed by American Sniper so you don't have to think about it too much, you just continue to be transfixed by American Sniper.

The sound effects were very good. All the sets kinda looked the same but that's probably just unfortunate realism. Pirate a high bit rate copy or you're going to get some Iraqi dust colored banding.

Overall American Sniper 9.9/10, without Cooper 3/10. The only thing missing was American Sniper american sniping Katrina looters.

I'd watch Maestro but I don't wanna see gay Bradley Cooper. Instead I'm gonna rewatch American Hustle, I don't really remember it but with my newfound Cooper appreciation I'm sure I'll enjoy it!

There's a genre of show that appeals to foids, what I call the "Wunder-butthole" genre. Where some cerebral genius effortlessly dominates his field of expertise, most of the episode showcases him berating his co-workers and yelling at anyone who opposes him. He gets to break the rules while others don't, and suffers little consequences for it. Also he usually has a soft and agreeable homosexual-coded male best friend. His eccentricity is tolerated because he's that good. House, Mr Robot, Sherlock, the Mentalist, Dexter, Psyche, all fall under this genre.

Are these shows mostly subtle sexual coombait for women? I mean the mystery aspect is often comparatively shallow compared to actual investigation shows. Large portions of the show are dedicated to literally the cycle of some plebian normal having an opinion, the wunder-genius yelling at him or mocking him, the plebian normal trying to argue back, the wunder-genius publicly humiliating him, and then the pleb slinking away. Oftentimes there's a self insert woman that's close to the wunder-butthole who doesn't get treated quite as mean, and just pouts the entire time the main character breaks the rules and tags along. Over the years I've noticed women drawn to these shows while men have been for the most part indifferent.

I ask because nobody else really seems to make this connection. Nobody even seems to talk about how the target audience for this slop is middle aged women either, the same target audience for serial killer slop, in fact, Dexter is both serial killer slop and wunder-butthole slop. But to me it's always seemed really obvious the butthole braggart aspect of the characters is the main appeal of the shows, women get turned on when powerful men get to talk down to other people. And that's it, all the plot contrivances are to just have a repetition of that play out over several seasons.

I first clicked onto it when I was talking to a teenage girl about the Marvel movies and she mentioned being attracted to Dr Strange. I said "He's just an butthole" and she was like "yeeaaaah... but I really like that". She wasn't as drawn to Captain America, Thor or all the other ones that are more conventionally attractive, she was drawn to the smart sardonic butthole that berates people. After that I looked into the slop women consumed with that in mind, and seen these butthole characters everywhere.

Am I wrong? I don't think I am.

Frank Baum, the writer of the Wizard of Oz was infamously criticized as a racist and Far-Right Nationalist. He infamously called for the genocide of Native Americans, particularly those belonging to the Great Sioux Nation. Editorials reportedly written by Baum in the late 1800s called for the genocide of American Indians and called them a "pack of whining curs," a far cry from the stories of Oz and the tolerant, intelligent people who resided there.

Wicked is the perfect opportunity to stoke the fires of ambition, awaken the freudian spirit within the slumbering Western Man, by paying homage to Frank Baum's true ideology. The timing is perfect. Hollywood is at it's lowest both financially and spiritually in decades. The American populace is showing its growing exhaustion towards modern ideas of diversity, equality, and inclusion.

The Right Wing Great Reset is here and Wicked will spear head the next cultural revolution. Mark my words, Wicked's premiere wil mark the beginning of the next dimensional shift.

There are some films that tend to provoke either extremely positive or extremely negative responses - "love it or hate it" - from audiences, with very little in between. More often than not, this is due to one of four reasons:

1. It deals with controversial subject matter.

2. It includes graphic and/or disturbing content.

3. It strays from what audiences expect of conventional cinematic storytelling and/or is just weird in general.

4. It is esoteric in nature, appealing only to a specific group of people.

Without including blatantly political films since those would be too obvious, here are some of the most divisive, polarizing films:

What would you say are the most polarizing films and why?

!kino

I watched the directors cut and loved it. Peak fricking 90s movie with great action and a compelling story. Mel Gibson at his best, Lucy Lui at her begining and William DuVayne in his most memorable role besides his gold commercials. It also has the cop from Menace 2 Society.

The pacing and style are like a methed up and coloueized noir film

!kino

The hits just keep on coming. KWAB .

My attitude toward Nazis. (The scene in the movie is way more complicated in context but I just wanted to make a comment about killing Nazis.) My bad.

Not much box office news this week, but apparently Joker 2 is a contender for biggest second weekend drop of all time so we'll just have to see It could also surpass The Marvels as the biggest sequel box office drop of all time.

Meanwhile ticket pre-sales for both Wicked and Gladiator 2 are apparently pretty good. This bothers me because those movies look fricking stupid

Anyway, what is everyone in !kino watching this week?

It would destroy such life in favor of its new matrix. (Try to keep up.)

Do you have any idea of what you're saying?

I was not attempting to evaluate its moral implications doctor.

Actual footage of me dealing with a dramatard.

These arguments are only anti-art if it's from handwringing Christian moms but totes okie when it comes from a pompous mainland Euro auteur (Haneke is an Austrian btw, make that of what you will ).

My mom would sing this to me all the time as a kid.

James Cagney is a mick. (Like me.) He's playing George Cohan (a Jew if you don't get it). That was considered normal back then because we were all Americans.

Btw "over there" is referring to France. We'll keep coming back.

I'm gonna post stuff written by Jews until the kids here get how much of a Jew-lover I am.

This might be incredibly shocking but I really like Jews.
