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 ).

!kino !anime

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.

!jidf

This might be incredibly shocking but I really like Jews.

It's dimensional merge time neighbors

Genuinely curious if the word of mouth killed the movie.

Sounds like the guy wanted to try something David Lynch would do and it failed with audiences spectacularly (just like Lynch would).

!kino !g*mers

Movie is about getting jacked up by southern cops because you're a Yankee. (First reason for a right to bear arms.)

Second movie not a parody but it's kinda based on it.

Sullivan's Travel's. !christians This is where you got me.

@Murdervann has not accepted personal responsibility for what he did yet. (I'm still trying to imagine what that means.) Can people start blaming him for that while I try to think?
