I only just got around to finally seeing this Honestly it reminded me of the other Matrix sequels. There were some cool aspects but like 2 and 3 it kinda gets bogged down in an overly convoluted storyline and just isn't very coherent. But I was giggling at the unsubtle mockery of Hollywood reboots complete with a jab at Warner Bros

!neolibs according to our magazine GRRM and James Caldwell provide some advice on real life governance. Here's the article in question.

https://archive.li/ZN8jm

Daemon's tactics differ only in degree from those of Nayib Bukele, the president of El Salvador, who has rounded up tens of thousands of suspected gangsters, locked them up indefinitely and shared a video on social media of them stacked like semi-naked Lego bricks in overcrowded jails. Both leaders want to look tough on crime; neither fusses about due process.

!latinx Nayib Bukele is just like Daemon Targaryen

The second season also has echoes of modern America. King Aegon II Targaryen (Tom Glynn-Carney) is a narcissist with improbable hair who knows nothing about governance and says whatever he thinks will please the audience in front of him. When grown-up officials offer sage advice, he grimaces with boredom. When devious courtiers want to sway him, they flatter his preposterous ego.

OMG AEGON II IS JUST LIKE DRUMPF

Aegon II is incredibly based by the way but Blackcels keep popping up propaganda for Girlboss Traenyra.

The characters in "Shogun" are often cruel, too, but they follow a code. They respect the law—indeed, much of their plotting depends on the assumption that their opponents will not openly flout it. Good luck trying that with Mr Putin.

I dislike Putin but media comparisons are always so cringe. Plus for all the talk about honor, the characters in Shogun are very backstabby so to speak.

It's p good. It's a "found footage" movie about a late night talk show host in the 70s who will do anything to boost his ratings. It's not really scary but more spooky and tense. The little girl is really creepy.

The first trailer for ‘CAPTAIN AMERICA: BRAVE NEW WORLD’ has been released.

Here's what she looks like in the comics

Take a look at this shit, it is literally comical with the amount of racism towards arabs

No, it did not get better in modern times

And naturally the actress is an IDF soldier too

we will NOT be seated! not only is former idf member shira haas still in this movie she's featured TWICE in the trailer.

REMINDER: MARVEL IS TRYING TO HIDE THE FACT THAT SABRA THE ISRAELI SUPER-SOLDIER CHARACTER IS IN THIS MOVIE. SHE WILL PLAY A PROMINENT PART AND IS THE REASON THE MCU BOYCOTT HAS BEEN CALLED.

What I'm wondering is why they're so surprised Disney is well known to be aligned with Israel, they should've been boycotting anyway

Anyway look at this kino shot

I love shitty greenscreening

Pretrial was insane hope someone makes live threads

NWR's next feature is his long-in-the-works spy movie "The Avenging Silence."

A listing in Production Weekly confirms the production start date in Korea

The project is a blend of "James Bond" and classics likes "Le Samouraï" and "Tokyo Drifter," about a mute ex-spy brought out of retirement to kill off an exiled Yakuza boss. Bond alums Robert Wade and Neal Purvis pen the script for Refn, who last year called "The Avenging Silence" his "last grand finale" and the "endeavor of his soul."

NWR has teased fans about this project in countless ways over years: it'll be a "big extravagant action film;" a 2016 tweet paired book covers of "Dr. No" and "The Soft Machine" with the accompanying text, "Ian Fleming + William Burroughs + NWR = The Avenging Silence."

some guy is gonna kill the President-Elect to install the VP

is this predictive programming or do the (((producers))) need to read another insurrection?

!nooticers

EDIT: LOL WHY WOULD THEY DO THE CHRISTMAS SPECIAL LIVE FOR RYAN TO GO ROGUE ON LMFAO

EDIT2: all in all this episode was about 100000x times better than the last one, but it's still The Boys season 4

I have never laughed at a Simpsons joke.

Total !familyman victory?

Many angry slop enjoyers in the quotes

Why is this clip funny:

The deep ( Green suit ) and black noir ( black suit ) have just come back from a fight they lost. The deep is a confident r-slur who is mentoring black noir II into how to be a superhero. They are both bro'ing at each other and then the fat black foid passes them by. The deep asks her where she is going and she says Homelander ( leader of superheroes ) fired her. Black Noir tells her not to leave because he loves her. This is funny because so far in the show the deep has been sleeping with the black fat foid, and the only way she can sleep with him is by lobotomizing her brain ( it grows back ) so she is r-slurred enough to find the Deep attractive and worth making love to. The deep realizes that she is having s*x with black noir II too and asks him if she is having s*x with him too after giving herself a lobotomy. "What lobotomy." Asks black noir, which makes the situation funnier because it shows that unlike the Deep, the fat black foid does not need to r-slur herself to be able to have s*x with black noir.

It is the only legitimately funny moment in the entire show so far across 30 episodes.

LA times published an article on Rhaneys's death last episode and interviews with the actress playing her and with showrunners Ryan Condal and Sarah Hess.

What Rhaenys represents is someone with absolute authority, power, wisdom, intelligence, expertise, political savvy and utter compassion — a constant awareness of [the need for] collaboration and making a choice for love, as opposed to destruction

Meanwhile season 1 Rhaenys

This scene was made up for the show by the way, in season 2 Daemon correctly calls out girlboss Rhaenys for not having burned all of the Greens when she got the chance but we're supposed to be on her side, never mind the fact she killed hundreds of peasants, might as well have killed her relatives who were going to war against them anyway. Also the reason Rhaenys and Corlys Velaryon are stuck with Rhaenyra is because their granddaughters are Daemon's daughters. For all they know Daemon and Rhaenyra murdered her son Laenor but they have no choice. However season 2 makes us believe Rhaenys actually likes Rhaenyra because of GIRL POWER!

Did you think about any real-world figures, whether historical or contemporary, in relation to this character? There have been a lot of Rhaenys-like women.

Absolutely, 100%, almost every single great woman you can think of [has] an element of [Rhaenys]. Sara Hess, who's one of the executive producers and the lead writers for the show, said to me on the first day, "There's so much of Hillary Clinton [in Rhaenys]." God knows you couldn't compare Viserys to the other one [former President Trump], but the similarities are very clear — to see that the person who is absolutely, hands down, best suited for the job is sidelined simply because she's a woman, and then has to somehow find her way.

https://old.reddit.com/r/HOTDGreens/comments/1dze51r/the_stanning_is_out_of_control_at_this_point/

So far the showrunners whitewashed Rhaenyra and the Black team hard while making the Greens villains. According to leaks they'll make Rhaenyra's son, Jace, kind of lock his mother with the help of Corlys as she's useless but they'll make it look like "MAN BAD AND PRONE TO VIOLENCE! WOMEN GOOD AND REASONABLE!"

Meanwhile on the blacks sub
