Jetlag E3, most recent season
||I love that all three of them went, "I feel like the most obvious thing is to grab X number of items"||

[dawn kayak]

finally finished watching Sonic 1

bit of a weak ending but expectedly

very good movie

[keen flax]

Omg was that your first time??

[gritty sierra]

me getting to series 10 of taskmaster: "what's the whole bit with everyone sitting so far away from each other???? aren't they going to explain the joke and sit next to each other again?????'

........it was filmed in 2020

💀 i forgot

[burnt shale]

its gonna be so wierd when a generation who wasn't alive for covid see echo's of it in media

[forest wigeon]

People are going to be learning about it in history classes

[burnt shale]

bold to assume history classes are focused enough to get to modern history

[cold sequoia]

I learned about 9/11 in school and I was alive for that (if just a couple of years old) so I don't see a reason people who were born after 2020 won't learn about covid

and it's probably a bigger deal than 9/11

[burnt shale]

9/11 is kinda a diffrent thing there was deliberate momentum to get that in front of kids. Im not sure anybody is as motivated to get that in front of kids

[burnt shale]

Id say on a global scale probably but on purley US perspective i think its arguable.

I can't wait for people like 30 years down the line to think that in the early 2020's train robbery cosplay was peak fashion

I can't wait for the first post claiming death stranding is so derivative in it's obvious quarantine themes (it was made before COVID)

I watched some of it before but I don't remember how much lmao

not until the end probably

Also sunny is an icon 😌

Null how did i go this long without finding out you liked kpop

[frank quail]

I'll admit, I have zero interest in any boy bands

I'm a fake fan, I've almost never listened to an album, singles only

[keen flax]

no thats so real, I barely listen to twice outside of title tracks

Denis Villeneuve will direct the next James Bond film, Amazon MGM Studios has announced. Villeneuve will also serve as executive Producer, alongside Tanya Lapointe. variety.com/2025/film/ne...

Bluesky · Jun 25, 2025, 11:52 PM

HOLY

well, I guess we don't know who Bond will be yet

[crystal brook]

That's also, as it stands, 2 Villeneuve films away right?

[cold sequoia]

yeah they don't even have a bond cast yet

[topaz oyster]

Hot Denis Summer

[cold sequoia]

I think the latest reports was it was looking like Aaron Taylor Johnson (aka Kraven) was the favorite to be the next Bond

[crystal brook]

He's doing Dunc 3 rn obviously

[cold sequoia]

Bond from the guy who did Sicario certainly has some appeal

yeah

[crystal brook]

He was supposed to be doing Rendezvous with Rama before Dunc 3

But they got switched around

[cold sequoia]

yeah I don't think that Bond will be out for a little bit

now that it was sold from the Broccoli family I think they are going to try at least one show before the next movies come out

[crystal brook]

Is it sacrilege if im british and never really seen a Bond film the whole way through?

[cold sequoia]

Craig bond is, on the whole, good imo

Casino Royale is probably the best but most of the others were not that much worse

the fact that Craig was generally able to keep his tongue in his cheek for most of the movies helped

[burnt shale]

casino royal was the only one of the Craig era i liked tbh

[dusk hound]

DENIS VILLENUEVE IS DIRECTING JAMES BOND???

OH HELL YEAH

Now they just need to cast someone great

[turbid narwhal]

Don’t worry I haven’t either

[dusk hound]

THE BEAR IS NOW STREAMING

[crystal brook]

Ive technically seen Die Another Day, ish

[full wolf]

SNSD and ShinEE were my introduction to kpop back in Ye Olden Days

but then I roomed with someone who was a hardcore ARMY and got introduced to the fandom side of things, and even though I don't really do kpop fandom stuff generally, I did osmosis lots of info about the bangtan boys from her

[keen flax]

SHINEE

[gritty sierra]

shinee was my only real foray into it

[keen flax]

And yeah bts was my very first group I loved, then got7 then exo then vixx then Kard and then back to exo 😂

[full wolf]

listen. here's my hot take.

kpop is too mainstream

[keen flax]

👀👀👀

🫢

[full wolf]

they speak english too good now

nobody's writing songs about "her whisper is the lucifer" anymore

[keen flax]

These days the choruses are in full English 😔

[full wolf]

bts stop releasing songs in full english challenge: impossible

[keen flax]

🫢🫢🫢

[full wolf]

america has ruined everything again with our corrupting cultural touch 😔

[keen flax]

It pissed me off too because I watched it happen in real time: like american artists genuinely admitted that they only wanted to collab for views 😭

Steve aoki was probably the only one who didnt, and it helped that he was first

[frank quail]

I was a little disappointed to see that KDH was made in English first

[molten jetty]

Ngl James Bond has never worked for me

[molten jetty]

Frfr

[oak ivy]

cosign

im not sure what i am supposed to get out of it

[crystal brook]

An over the top big budget spy film?

That appeals to a general audience

[cold sequoia]

well with the Craig bond films you are supposed to get the adventures of a wild ape like man who gets stuffed into suits that are too tight while he rampages around killing people

[lone canyon]

Hot woman in skimpy clothes

[oak ivy]

not even that honestly

[cold sequoia]

This isnt skimpy enough for you?

[molten jetty]

Yeah

Idk I kinda hate spy thrillers

Like what’s the point…?

[cold sequoia]

You know what I was gonna post an image from the end of Casino Royale but thought better of it

[oak ivy]

see

[cold sequoia]

The point of any thriller I'd posit, to thrill

[oak ivy]

not even aaks can salvage this

spy thrillers stink

MG speaks gospel

[molten jetty]

True

[small quarry]

[cold sequoia]

You know what [Casino royale]

[molten jetty]

Which… I enjoy action anime like Solo Leveling etc. but I don’t think they’re good. I can’t even have fun watching spy thrillers.

[turbid narwhal]

The only good spy related movie or show I’ve watched is The Americans

[cold sequoia]

Disliking this movie during Pride month is certainly a choice spaceduck /s

[molten jetty]

Psychological thrillers work way better at “thrilling” for me

[oak ivy]

i hope my demographic is never represented in a mid spy thriller

[buoyant scroll]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P_SlAzsXa7E&pp=ygURZ2VuZ2hpcyBraGFuIHNvbmc%3D

-# It's relevant I swear

[gritty sierra]

oh love this one. classic

[cold sequoia]

For those who have seen it, is the The Conversation a spy thriller or a psychological thriller?
I would say its both but interested to hear other opinions

[molten jetty]

Death Note, Promised Neverland, Tokyo Ghoul, all give me way more anxiety in a good way than action thrillers. With action thrillers it’s like… there’s no tension, just drawn out, boring fight scenes. Idk.

[cold sequoia]

Not all spy thrillers are about fight scenes

I'd say most of the good ones aren't

[molten jetty]

Maybe part of it is the psychological battles and internal wars can have very real impacts on characters where action thrillers feel like everything will work out for the protagonist and so the tension is removed

[molten jetty]

Thinking of popular ones I’ve seen like Mission Impossible, James Bond, Jack Ryan stuff, and Jason Bourne. Idk what those would be about if not action.

[buoyant scroll]

Well Mission Impossible is about Tom Cruise laughing in the face of Death

[cold sequoia]

For a thriller with good action i would recommend The Killer (with Michael Fassbender)

It's a hard R rating though

If i wanted to be a bit provocative it's like John Wick but interesting for the entire time

[dusk hound]

HOW DARE YOU???

John Wick IS interesting

[minor isle]

More like John Wick but it's just extremely boring for the first half hour that I dropped it and never loooked back

😌

[cold sequoia]

It is interesting on the whole, the points between action are hit or miss [JW4] ||which I think is why they seemed to remove more and more of the between action bits as the series progressed||

[minor isle]

The Killer || Dude goes on and on about how hitman need perfect routine and discipline and continues with his monotonous monologues about how he's the perfect hitman cuz of his perfect routine, and shows the said routine for like 25 min which is just bunch of nonsense and THEN HE STORMING MISSES IT ||

maybe the last point made it interesting for most. That was the point I was done with it

[frank quail]

[frank quail]

lmao no more than we'll need a superman channel whenever that comes out

[molten jetty]

KDH || https://youtube.com/shorts/eR-XeAxlAvU?si=bJeOOkEPjnvHebWK ||

[dusk hound]

You WILL hear me yap about that in this channel

[molten jetty]

No because everyone should learn that it’s peak and watch it ☺️

[frank quail]

we already do 💀

[minor isle]

if the movie is even remotely less than "Peak fiction" tier, I'll yap against you for all eternity

[dusk hound]

And I will do so more

[topaz oyster]

John Wick is a choreographical masterpiece, and normal storytelling devices like plot and character exist solely to set the tone and support the choreography. If you aren't showing up for gun fu, or worse if you are Watching For The Plot, they likely won't do much of anything for you

[lone canyon]

Idk about John Wick but Ballerina had 1/10th the character development of the least character driven Marvel movie

[topaz oyster]

I should hope so

Marvel movies at least pretend to care about plot and character

John Wick literally isn't trying to do that

[minor isle]

Trying to care about something and then messing it up is worse than being self aware that it's better without it

[lone canyon]

I wasn’t expecting Ballerina to be character focused but it literally didn’t have enough character to justify a movie

[topaz oyster]

It wasn't trying to justify the movie with character

[minor isle]

marvel movies comes in the first territory usually

[lone canyon]

There wasn’t enough character to justify a story

[topaz oyster]

Not trying to justify the movie with story either

[lone canyon]

Like I watched Daniel Craig James Bond movies and they had more character beats and story

[topaz oyster]

It is more similar to going to a ballet in a language you don't know

[midnight compass]

I'm watching Deep Space Nine and their biology technobabble is hilarious to me because I know enough biology to recognize that it's nonsense

[minor isle]

[frank quail]

well, James Bond typically has a story

[novel bear]

i was down to go into john wick for a bunch of fight scenes and instead i got surprisingly few fight scenes in a movie with a lot of slow and fairly boring plot

[minor isle]

You know, I recently watched Coherence (2013) and that does the "science but it's wrong" so well

[molten jetty]

Can’t wait for F4 to have good character writing

[minor isle]

Like they are bunch of non-science people who hsa a friend as a Science person so everything they say is 1/10 right and 9/10 wrong

[topaz oyster]

😬

[minor isle]

and like it won't be movie's fault for getting science wrong cuz like the characters aren't of position to speak about it

[oak ivy]

im hopeful F4 will at least have characters who have a chance to be interesting

[molten jetty]

F4 looks very fun

[oak ivy]

vs the usual marvel shtick of having characters that cannot, under any circumstances, be interesting

[lone canyon]

I’ll settle for characters that have relationships to each other and react emotionally to stimuli

[oak ivy]

you drive a hard bargain

[molten jetty]

F4 ||Reed being an Oppenheimer type, Sue being a diplomatic head of the family unit, Johnny being very flawed and narcissistic, Thing being the funcle||

[oak ivy]

there have been marvel characters literally dying from cancer who did not express emotion

[molten jetty]

||and Sue and Reed having a child and Sue embracing motherhood and being a superhero ||

[oak ivy]

remarkable, truly

[buoyant scroll]

-# I watch them for the plot and character...

[gritty sierra]

there's no talking at the ballet no matter where

[oak ivy]

F4 ||sue being a mom is such an interesting angle||

[minor isle]

I was for some reason reading it as F1 and wondering if we even saw that many notable characters in the trailer

[molten jetty]

F4 ||I mean its crazy they’ve never focused on that before with the tradition of her motherhood being central in the comics||

I an such a stan of that plotpoint on the screen

F4 ||Like yes she can be a mother and loving wife to her nuclear family and still save the day and kick butt||

[gritty sierra]

(the ballet troupe in my city does avant-garde stuff like... shout, in some new funky choreography pieces)

[oak ivy]

||well a previous version just wanted jessican alba to be hot, and the other didnt have a script, so||

[lone canyon]

Gotta appeal to all the youngish women with baby fever I guess 😭

[topaz oyster]

Yknow I think I was going for "opera in a language you don't know" but then decided to go with ballet mid sentence because the movie is called Ballerina and then just didn't think about the sentence any further

[minor isle]

😭

[oak ivy]

or the generation of women who have been career focused for a decade waking up in their 30s and realizing professional and parental life result in unavoidable compromises

[molten jetty]

And I think (F4) ||the Oppenheimer angle for Reed is fascinating||

[topaz oyster]

(I've performed ballet music before, I do know this, but Expedition 33 has me opera brained enough right now that that was first on the shelf for me)

[molten jetty]

Sue is just built different

[cold sequoia]

John Wick franchise ||one of the biggest criticisms of the franchise is how the movies seemed to be getting more and more interested in random world of assassin lore||

[oak ivy]

[midnight compass]

[distant birch]

Folks I think I'll be watching kpop demon hunters this weekend...

[topaz oyster]

Wish that
A) there was a better quality recording and
B) this was not a 19 year old video

[topaz oyster]

At the risk of getting banished fully to #1378391089366696046, Expedition 33 heavily features Alice Duport-Percier, who is a fairly accomplished opera singer but also was involved with the Grissini Project, which does covers of video game music

[cold sequoia]

without having played Kon's video, it's funny to imagine that the songs being played prompted you to say this

[topaz oyster]

[outer mulch]

this james bond stuff is wild, never expected that happening

[topaz oyster]

I just realized

This means Timmy is the next Bond

[frank quail]

no, we already had a Tim

[topaz oyster]

Its him or Tom, pick your poison

[frank quail]

oh, you mean Chalamet or Holland?

[topaz oyster]

Yeah

[outer mulch]

isn't tom holland like nathan drake from uncharted ™

[cold sequoia]

I think the current favorite is Aaron Taylor Johnson

[frank quail]

Chalamet is a twig.
Holland could play an Eggsy, but I'm not sure about Bond

[frank quail]

I can see it

[topaz oyster]

I know but Bond rumormongering has been more wrong than right as long as I can remember

So Timmy it is

[topaz oyster]

https://tenor.com/view/thank-you-por-que-no-gif-23322568

[outer mulch]

the uncharted movie was excessively meh anyways so maybe he'll do a better job as bond

[small quarry]

It should be Tom Holland it would be so funny

[outer mulch]

well I would like it as much as the Bond in that new game they showed at the playstation showcase

[buoyant scroll]

...Ben Starr

[buoyant scroll]

The actor has apparently been in a good few things but for the life of me I can't remember his name

[topaz oyster]

That's not a meme cast, that's actually good

I know Reddit is Reddit but

[molten jetty]

Peak

[naive mica]

Someone suggested David Tennant as the next Bond villain and now I can't get it out of my head.

[buoyant scroll]

It's good, but also I think it'd make him super uncomfortable, which makes it funny

[buoyant scroll]

A Brit hero defeating a Scot villain...

[outer mulch]

Ben Starr is forever Clive to me which would make me so amused watching it

[frank quail]

I just image searched Ben Starr

basically already in costume

[topaz oyster]

He looks so baby there

[oak ivy]

ok i give up guys

are there actual demons

[frank quail]

KDH ||as is very appropriate for a movie about K-pop idols. ||

[cold sequoia]

to serious post: Daniel Craig is great in serious movies also, for example The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. I'm sure Ben Starr is a good voice actor but movie acting is different

[ivory night]

Sony also did the emoji movie

[ivory night]

Logan lucky (not s serious movie ) I just want to shout out that movie

[molten jetty]

It’s hard to say it is romance but it’s not not romance

[topaz oyster]

He was a minor TV actor up until he did FFXVI, it isn't like he's never been in front of a camera before

[cold sequoia]

great cast all around in that one yeah

[oak ivy]

spiderverse is such an outlier in their catalog

[molten jetty]

What has made it popular is: (1) cool animation (2) good music (3) hot Kpop boys

[ivory night]

Tbf it’s only Sony because spider man

[oak ivy]

i like two of those things MG

[molten jetty]

And the plot is fun and well executed despite being exactly what you’d expect

[cold sequoia]

yeah, I think minor tv roles is also different from movie acting

[topaz oyster]

It sure is

I don't think it matters

[midnight compass]

I feel like you're ignoring the hot K-pop girls

[molten jetty]

Sure. I’m a biased sample. There are also hot girls.

[frank quail]

To be clear, I brought up spiderverse because both it and KDH share a similar "use CGI to relate hand techniques" style

[oak ivy]

brb watching the trailer

will from my entire opinion on the film from it

[ivory night]

The concept of what if soderbergh did a heist movie at a nascar race is amazing

[frank quail]

Oh the trailer sucks. Completely the wrong vibe

[ivory night]

Oops meant to reply to the Logan lucky post lol

[frank quail]

SMH, no one here is talking about the hot girls.
All the spoilers I could find are cosmic and feather gushing about the boys

[molten jetty]

I watched the trailer and it’s a valid gauge for the movie

[molten jetty]

I mean be fair

[oak ivy]

i am so confused this has an audience outside of exactly this channel

[midnight compass]

Tbf Monkey, Feather, and Cosmic have been the ones raving about K/DH and they're all straight women afiak

[cold sequoia]

The girls are attractive but the guys are built different

[frank quail]

She likes it for the plot

[dawn kayak]

not the first person in a chat I'm on that I've learned watched the movie three times ngl

[molten jetty]

The “plot”

[cold sequoia]

what kind of elves?

[oak ivy]

gen poll would you like the movie or less if the demons were the girls instead

[molten jetty]

Uh

[dawn kayak]

more (I have not watched the movie)

[molten jetty]

KDH (10 minutes in spoiler)||one of the girls is a demon||

[oak ivy]

if you say orlando bloom you are weak and will not survive the winter

[frank quail]

That'd still be cool, but I feel it wouldn't work as straight swap. Girls Vs boys in K-pop have distinct coding

[molten jetty]

This coding is def what is played on in the movie

[cold sequoia]

I would say that Elder Scrolls Online elves (i.e. the most human looking elves in the Elder Scrolls) are the floor for making it through winter (although you will lose some appendages to frostbite)

[molten jetty]

Drizzt

[dawn kayak]

most tbh

I mean if you are going lotr elves you have to go Maedhros and Maglor

[molten jetty]

The hottest LotR elf is Feanor

[dawn kayak]

legolas is too basic

https://www.artstation.com/artwork/yJAKAK

[cold sequoia]

those are still pointy eared humans

nothing wrong with that

[frank quail]

Thinking about it (KDH) ||which side has the bigger simps? It's got to be the fans of women, right?||

Wow my phone hates me tonight

[molten jetty]

(KDH) ||yeah. Probably female K-pop bands get bigger simps ||

[dawn kayak]

it's more for personality 😌

[topaz oyster]

She's hardly a defendant at this point, she's pled enthusiastically guilty

[oak ivy]

not beating the allegations (she made them herself)

[molten jetty]

KDH is so good 😭

Maybe I’ll rewatch it tomorrow

[ionic lily]

You really like those heroes turned villains, huh

[molten jetty]

Hey, I didn’t say best. I said hottest.

My favorite is maybe Fingolfin or Luthien

[ionic lily]

You can’t fool me, I see your patterns!

[molten jetty]

(Fingolfin is hot too tho)

[molten jetty]

I just like edge lords with emotional issues

[oak ivy]

you? never

[full wolf]

i see this channel missed me

1. lady bug and chat noir is not good, but it had unrealized potential i'll always pine for
2. i've been really good and not watched kpop demon hunters for a fourth night in a row which means i'm normal now
3. hot demon boys 🤤

[gritty sierra]

beg your pardon, you could have watched a fourth time in a row and been good 😤

[full wolf]

oh also, the KDH trailer isn't inaccurate but it does lean FULLY into the goofy vibes of the movie, and even though there are goofy moments, that's definitely not the tone the whole time and the serious parts are i think what's the best part of it

[full wolf]

if i start now i could be done by 12:30

[molten jetty]

Yeah. The more serious part is a fun surprise for when you watch it IMO

Like the more serious stuff surprised me and the movie was better for it

But the goofiness is front loaded quite a bit

[full wolf]

this movie is also just. so tightly paced, like not a single second is wasted on screen

we are establishing premises, we are LOCKING in character arcs right at the get go, and we are making sure every single frame is BEAUTIFUL

[molten jetty]

I was thinking about that last night too. Every scene does something for the story.

[full wolf]

Grey and I had to find our place in the playhead last night and there was a moment of "wait we're only ten minutes into this movie??? so much has happened already"

[gritty sierra]

oh throwing my hat in the ring for future demographic purposes, I loved it, and also I might watch some girls generation again?

I say again like I really know them at all

[midnight compass]

Sorry I legitimately believed you think Miraculous is good

[full wolf]

the season 5 ending was unforgivable 😔

[topaz oyster]

You have synonymized yourself with this film I fear

[full wolf]

im definitely not feeding on the souls of anyone who watches it or anything

'Cause I need you to need me, I'm empty, you feed me

[topaz oyster]

Unfortunately for you I am deeply, profoundly aware that I am precisely the opposite of whatever the target demographic for this is

kon maybe it's silly of me, but i think you are capable of feelings like: "catchy music," "genuine joy," "wow this scene is so pretty," and "feather is right about everything" if you just open your heart

[topaz oyster]

I think the best you could possibly hope for is a solid "well that was kinda fun I guess/10" from me

[keen flax]

As soon as i try to sleep, ducky asks about peak (Kpop demon hunters) 🙄

Also yes everyone should watch it hehe 🤭

Anyway back to bed, had to spread some propaganda first

[ivory night]

Been on the Emily blunt for bond train for years

[dusk hound]

Yes but… those people would complain about it

And you know who I’m talking about

[ivory night]

sigh the broccoli family I get you

[dusk hound]

But I would love Emily Blunt as a James Bond

And just call her James Bond

No need to gender swap the name

[ivory night]

Yeah agreed

What if he brought Roger Deakins back to bond too

I think he retired but I can dream

anyone else ever kind of wish they had kept Ugly Sonic?

just to see how bad it really was with all the other scenes

[burnt shale]

nah it was really reassuring to see a studio fix their mistakes

[dusk hound]

Very early review for Superman

We might be back

[cosmic dock]

We're so back

[hushed moss]

If you want to see more Ugly Sonic; you can always watch the Chip and Dale: Rescue Rangers movie.

[cobalt onyx]

Oh man, I forgot they'd tried to reboot that

[hushed moss]

I love the movie even though it really should have been a Roger Rabbit movie.

[full wolf]

Look guys, I could be a lot worse:

[keen flax]

We should turn it into a daily ritual 😌

[full wolf]

Honestly I think part of it is just so much of the movie is good music that it kinda just feels like listening to a good album of bangers on repeat

[dusk hound]

Supes literally passed out at the press screening of Superman

This is going to be generational

[cold sequoia]

got advanced tickets for this, gonna be seeing it the 8th

very excited

[dusk hound]

Gonna be seeing it on the 11th

I couldn’t find any of the Prime advanced screenings near me

All the early reviews are glowingly positive

[minor ledge]

Finished Fargo TV show, S tier show ngl severely underrated

Havent wat ched the movie in a couple years, Cant find it anywhere too

[minor ledge]

Show very much captures that coen brothers filmmaking

Billy bob thorntons acting as ||Lorne malvo|| is probably the best acting as a villain ive ever seen

[oak ivy]

i would not watch the video of my wedding 8 times in one week

[steep bramble]

I cried with the end of A Discovery of Witches.

[cold sequoia]

Well yeah that'd remind you of your ex wife

[steep bramble]

Really need to reas the books now.

Yes that's not my normal order but you know

[full wolf]

Huntr/x don't miss!!

[molten jetty]

Yeah. KDH is better than a wedding.

I need to be clear that is /s

[keen flax]

KDH is the wedding (because Im marrying Jinu) 🥰

Also I will say the influx of KDH on my timeline also means that Love and Deepspace is also on my timeline 😭

[wraith sand]

Does anybody remember the name of an old horror movie in which the premise is that some lunatic gives kids some sort of cursed halloween masks which when exposed to some sort of tv commercial the guy puts out basically kill the kids and infest them with creepy crawlies? For some reason I dreamed about it last night, but for the life of me I can’t remember what the movie was. I definitely remember watching it as a kid though.

[inland jetty]

Halloween 3?

[wraith sand]

What the heck? That’s a Halloween movie?

I thought they were all slasher films with Michael Myers

[inland jetty]

No, at first it was supposed to be an anthology series, where the main connecting thread was spooky nonsense happens on halloween

[wraith sand]

Huh. Interesting.

[frail mulch]

a KDH thought- ||Lea Salonga is credited as Celine's singing voice, but I can't think of when Celine sings unless it's in the overview of hunter trios in the beginning or singing with baby Rumi, also in the beginning... and it seems like kind of a big get to have Lea show up for a cameo?? I wonder if there's a song on the cutting room floor.|| Would gladly take prequels

[molten jetty]

I SAW THIS TOO

Sorry I got excited but

KDH ||Lea How can you credit her for singing for 2 seconds in the background of a scene 😭 ||

[keen flax]

I didnt even realize omg...

[oak ivy]

oh btw im watching kdh rn

[gritty sierra]

waow

[keen flax]

[oak ivy]

dont expect anything from me for christmas

[keen flax]

very happy buzzing x3

[candid peak]

Watched Knives Out
Eh
Alright I guess
The method was cool and all but was disappointed in the actual killer
The killer was too obvious that I thought he was a red herring
||My bets were on the granddad planning the whole thing which ig could be some matter of correct (he did commit suicide)||
So I guess I'm to big brained.

[willow fjord]

Ok Daniel Craig was so good in that movie though

[candid peak]

We should ban the word deconstruction from the English lexicon

[ionic lily]

Its never about who the killer is, its all about the solve

[candid peak]

Like, this is a compliment

But it's a very standard mystery movie lol

[candid peak]

Then why is the killer revealed in the last 10 minutes

[oak ivy]

what pieces of media are unironically deconstructions

[ionic lily]

Hmm

[topaz oyster]

Some guy on YouTube has done a "deconstruction of villainy" on just about every character in Expedition 33 and at some point I wonder if the guy knows what any word at that phrase even means

[topaz oyster]

Full Metal Jacket

[ionic lily]

I had something for this but I lost it

[oak ivy]

watchmen probably is

[topaz oyster]

Watchmen is hard because it has kind of been looped back into the genre it was trying to deconstruct by some of its successors

[crystal brook]

My Flipnote Studio 3D masterpieces i made when I was 10

[ionic lily]

Honestly, Lower Decks is a pretty good deconstruction of Star Trek while still being Star Trek

[oak ivy]

this is bc of comics almost unique ability to roll with any punch

at the time yeah, now it isnt even that shocking

esp with the boys hammering similar points home

[molten jetty]

Evangelion, ORV, Watchmen

[cold sequoia]

Game of Thrones

[oak ivy]

i think malazan deconstructs and then reconstructs

so it depends on where you stop ig

[molten jetty]

Same with ORV.

[ionic lily]

Malazan is just generic grimdark. It follows all the tropes to a T

[cold sequoia]

I think something that is decontstructionist reconstructing is irrelevant so long as it deconstructs first

[burnt shale]

The two big anime ones are evangelion and madoka

[topaz oyster]

Hard to pass judgment. Taking the show ending as the ending, I'm not sure I would call GoT a deconstruction at all

[cold sequoia]

fair, I should have said ASOIAF

[dusk hound]

Ironheart has actually been interesting so far, I’m surprised

I thought I wasn’t gonna like it

[molten jetty]

I think there is deconstructing to say “this is stupid/look at all the consequences of this style of storytelling” and deconstructing to say “look at the components of this genre, let’s analyze the pieces and put them together as a loveletter to the genre”

The latter feels more interesting to me than the former, but the former works great when done well (see Evangelion)

[cold sequoia]

I would call Malazan selectively decontstructionist, it deconstructs certain tropes of fantasy (e.g. the Barbarian, the God of Death, etc)

[ionic lily]

Discworld is a good example of deconstruction

[burnt shale]

I’d be more precise with the second part and say let’s look at the components at not view them from the trappings of the genre and re- examine them good or bad

[cold sequoia]

specifically it goes very hard in decontstructing Knights/Chivalry, Inherited Magic, and Feudalism

[molten jetty]

With Evangelion, having been watching Gundam ||I think deconstruction of the trope of child soldiers specifically actually occurs within Gundam itself in an anti-war message||

[oak ivy]

it rips apart chosen ones with a vengeance too

[topaz oyster]

I dunno. The reason I jumped for Full Metal Jacket specifically isn't just because it was an intense examination of the war movie, it is also ultimately in some ways a rejection of the war movie

[cold sequoia]

yeah, also Prophecy in general

[oak ivy]

there is a running cinematic argument about whether it is ethical to make war movies

[cold sequoia]

something something no anti-war war movie

[burnt shale]

Gundam fails to be a full deconstruction but it comes close imo it’s just saying something and not responding to what came before in a meaningfull way

[topaz oyster]

The good war movies that came after couldn't do what the war movies that came before did, because Full Metal Jacket showed why looking at war in certain ways doesn't work

[cold sequoia]

I see you and I thought of the same thing

[small quarry]

Grok give movie recommendations to watch with the wife

[oak ivy]

altough i think war movies have largely fallen out of favor

[molten jetty]

Right. And those are the two facets of it I see. It either takes a type of story and rejects it or it takes a type of story and builds it back together

[cold sequoia]

you see there are these farmers in...

[oak ivy]

i havent read it but the little i know about thomas covenant suggests it does deconstruct tolkien pretty aggresively

[topaz oyster]

I think a proper deconstruction has to if not topple its genre then at least take some tiles out of the jenga tower

[molten jetty]

Yeah. It’s why it’s hard to say Evangelion is innovative in deconstructing mecha anime (specifically child soldiers) because that’s already a staple of the franchise

[cold sequoia]

I saw that that A24 war movie got a lot of praise for being "authentic" but the premise also sounded kind of interesting

it was apparently almost entirely in real time

sort of play-like?

[molten jetty]

Hmmm. I disagree. I think what makes something deconstructionist is taking something apart, whether it gets put back together or not.

[oak ivy]

i think war movies also lost favor because tragedies in general have been wiped from the movie landscape

[ionic lily]

Civil War?

[cold sequoia]

no, Warfare

it's from the same director

[ionic lily]

Oh, I havent heard of it

[frank quail]

Oh, there's a word for the second type
Reconstruction

[topaz oyster]

Aren't those Chris Hemsworth movies some of Netflix' more successful films?

[cold sequoia]

based on what I have seen I would not consider that a war movie

it seemed more like a john wick movie set in India

[oak ivy]

i literally one see those movies mentioned in the context of people saying they are popular so idk

[burnt shale]

It’s specifically a deconstruction of the protagonist and the organization

[oak ivy]

also i got the impression they were action films, which is different from a war film imo

[burnt shale]

Not in theme

Also anyone say watchman

[cold sequoia]

I don't think that Australia and India were at war in the movie so I wouldn't consider it a war movie

[cold sequoia]

several did yeah

[topaz oyster]

I believe he's playing an American (a SEAL?)

[burnt shale]

A deconstruction is still a deconstruction if no one listens or watches it tho

[topaz oyster]

Fine. A proper successful deconstruction yada yada yada etc etc etc etc

[oak ivy]

australian spec ops turned mercenary

[cold sequoia]

well the US wasn't at war with India in the movie either afaik but no he was apparently an "Australian black ops mercenary" saving "an Indian drug lord's son"

[topaz oyster]

Huh

They certainly marketed it like a war movie

[oak ivy]

even the modern war movies are not war movies

[topaz oyster]

This is me with Reacher

[oak ivy]

just like how rom com is dead as a genre

[cold sequoia]

there is a 90% chance that the Russos were just trying to turn India into what China was in the mid 2010s for movies

[oak ivy]

(on screen)

[cold sequoia]

isn't there a rom com with Madame Webb, Pedro Pascal, and Chris Evans coming out soon?

[oak ivy]

i am curious

it is out, i should watch it

support my genre

[topaz oyster]

I also expect the large shift towards streaming has shifted the incentives around a lot in terms of what genres are successful and why

[cold sequoia]

don't think it's out no
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4A_kmjtsJ7c

[oak ivy]

wikipedia said it came out two weeks ago

so someone is lying

[oak ivy]

i think these trends solidified in the early 2010s

[molten jetty]

IMO deconstruction nowadays just feels more in poor taste and stuff that upholds genre standards, even when cookie cutter-esque feels more enjoyable. Like KDH felt refreshing and fun because it wasn’t afraid to use genre norms to tell a fun story. It felt unique in being a well-executed version of a familiar archetype without irony around it.

[topaz oyster]

The war movies of the 2010s were all almost superhero adjacent in that they were following around solo or small team operatives in big set pieces

[molten jetty]

And this isn’t to say all deconstruction nowadays is bad, but usually feels less… like there’s something interesting to say

Like the Boys for example doesn’t feel interesting to me

[topaz oyster]

Kind of pared down Band of Brotherses, where BoB could be more expansive with its roster because it had five times the runtime

[oak ivy]

i think deconstruction is different from the self aware cynicism that became very popular for a few years

[topaz oyster]

It isn't, it is chasing shock value

[molten jetty]

Yes.

And that’s a nice way of distinguishing what I mean

[oak ivy]

the boys (only watched s1) is good but just not something i am interested in

i never tried invincible beyond 20 mins

[cold sequoia]

well they go book a ticket

[topaz oyster]

This is exactly why I say that Watchmen has been weirdly looped back into the genre it tried to deconstruct

[oak ivy]

i think rick and morty pushed a lot of the cynicism in the main stream even if it itself has pivoted away recently

[topaz oyster]

I am always surprised every time I am reminded Rick and Morty is a thing that is still happening

In my mind we left that behind pre covid

[oak ivy]

comics themselves have countered this by going more earnest and genuine recently, and it has been nice to experience

[molten jetty]

A lot of the cynicism just feels so “heh superheroes are dumb. It’s dumb to like superheroes and we people who live in reality are better because we don’t need superheroes” type of vibe. I know that’s hyperbolic but you know what I mean

[oak ivy]

rick and morty has really found its stride in the last season and a half or so

s3 and s4 are when its popularity peaked but its quality bottomed out

[cold sequoia]

I don't think that subsequent changes to a genre makes something more or less deconstructionist

[frank quail]

Yeah, Being deconstructionist is inherently relative to the understanding of whatever concept at the time it was made

[topaz oyster]

I think that's normally true but that Watchmen is in a weird place on that front

It kind of just got gelatinous cubed into the genre it was trying to deconstruct

[frank quail]

The fact that subsequent authors reconstructed Watchmen into a new version of the genre doesn't affect the fact that Watchmen was a deconstruction

[topaz oyster]

I mean it certainly tried

[cold sequoia]

there was some attempts at that decades after it came out but they didn't really succeed in doing so

[frank quail]

Or is this a conversation about how the movie missed the point of the comics?

[cold sequoia]

the most successful Watchmen follow up was also a deconstruction, this time more focused on the superhero/police dynamic as it relates to contemporary America (I am referring to the HBO limited series)

[oak ivy]

power fantasy atm is doing a lot of similar things

the boys is an interesting case bc i dont think comics are well regarded

[small quarry]

The boys comic is ass lol

[novel bear]

I think deconstruction is generally more about critiquing and examining trends, and I wouldn't necessarily even call this kind of thing a deconstruction at all

[burnt shale]

i think the boys comic isn't popular with fans of the show but people do still like them

[novel bear]

When dark and edgy "realistic" takes on concepts are trendy, the deconstructive thing is to examine why those appeal to us and what that says

[molten jetty]

That’s fair

[candid peak]

Counterpoint: nothing is ethical we are all going to perish

[oak ivy]

the greatest superhero deconstruction of all time, and one of the premier works in existentialism, is the current amazing spider man runs

[candid peak]

But it also depends what you mean by "war movies"

Like movies that depict fictional war?

[oak ivy]

i am not joking

[candid peak]

Movies on the battlegrounds of actual war?

[novel bear]

I feel like in a lot of people's minds, certain tropes are calcified even if they aren't even the trend anymore. So we keep getting superhero deconstructions that keep saying the same things and it's like. What are you even deconstructing?

[small quarry]

Paul

[burnt shale]

you now what might count as a deconstruction but then got absorbed by the rest of the genre

[novel bear]

https://tenor.com/view/paul-rabin-spider-man-meme-paul-infinity-infinity-paul-gif-9835998570033141753

[frank quail]

"deconstructionist"
Look inside
"The author's love/hate relationship with the genre that raised them"

[candid peak]

Nothing is a deconstruction we are simply repeating ourselves til the end

[cold sequoia]

the general discourse is about whether it's possible to make a war movie (that is: a movie about war) that is anti-war

[candid peak]

I think these people need to realize "depiction =/= endorcement"

But idk

It really just depends on everything

[novel bear]

I think it's just more interesting to interpret what works are saying than to categorize whether it's deconstructing anything, because people bring so many different views on what deconstruction means, and it's often relative to what tropes you have already questioned and examined prior.

[oak ivy]

i am sure FMJ got people to enlist

[topaz oyster]

My boot camp instructor adored FMJ

[cold sequoia]

I think people are aware of that, the question is if the depictions are still glorifying the subject, or at least if they are doing more glorification than not

[frank quail]

But the purpose of a system is what it does.
Even an anti war film still typically ends up giving you good feelings right next to "I saw some war" feelings

[topaz oyster]

The best moment of his career at RTC and perhaps of his life was when he found cookies in one of the other recruits' bunks

[cold sequoia]

yeah the traditional "war is hell" anti-war movie can appeal to people who want to experience hell

[novel bear]

e.g. I think it's much more interesting to look at Evangelion as a story about human connection and depression, with weight of responsibility as a narrative device to bring that out, than as a criticism of child soldiers in mecha anime being bad, which has never struck me as a particularly interesting part of it.

[topaz oyster]

He was laughing so hard he had to leave the room for like an hour before he could compose himself

But, I don't think Full Metal Jacket has to be anti-war to be a deconstruction of the war movie

[molten jetty]

I totally agree and like I said above, it’s extra to act like Evangelion’s “deconstruction” is wholly interesting when Gundam 79 itself focuses on the impacts of war on child soldiers (spoiler alert: it’s anti-war)

So it’s more taking an existing aspect of the genre and extrapolating than being innovative

[oak ivy]

its like how people constantly subvert the chosen one trope despite me not being able to list a story that does it straight with no baggage

everyone just has this mental image of a story that does not exist

[molten jetty]

So true

[frank quail]

my favourite mecha war deconstruction is 86

[cold sequoia]

I think that at the time, the platonic ideal of a hollywood war movie was generally positive
deconstructing the war movie involved trying to compare that to the realities that the US was faced in Vietnam which, imo forces it to be anti war

[frank quail]

I'm starting to wonder if any mecha story was ever in favour of child soldiers

[oak ivy]

someone surely has written paper charting american sentiment on wars by the films that get released about them right

[oak ivy]

probably kids shows that are not meant to be taken literally

[crystal brook]

The first few post-genre albums in respective genres before its defined as a genre in and of itself

[heavy anchor]

Gurren Lagann

[frank quail]

I feel like I've seen that blog post

[topaz oyster]

Many such PHD theses

[molten jetty]

I was expecting Gundam to be pro-child soldiers the way people treat Evangelion

[cold sequoia]

yep, probably starting with this

[oak ivy]

gundam is way more pro-neurodivergent soliders anyways

[molten jetty]

“This totally deconstructs x trope from y” - Person who has never seen y

[novel bear]

Yeah I think it's more complicated than "depiction =/= endorsement" generally. I think a lot of stories about war do the equivalent of having characters say that war is bad. Or, if it's a better movie, maybe wrapping an anti-war statement into the thematic conclusion and the final way that the conflict is resolved.

But meanwhile, you spend the majority of the experience engaging with war as a narrative. You watch scenes that are structured around a short-term conflict that is solved with military violence, where you look upon the characters positively for their ability to competently do so. You gain satisfaction from the use of violence to survive. And unless you are literally not actually enjoying those scenes or liking the characters at all, then I don't think you can just cast aside the issues with "depiction =/= endorsement." I don't necessarily think that the statement is wrong, or even that enjoying those movies is wholly bad, but it's significantly more complicated.

[molten jetty]

I buy the autism argument because it’s funny to imagine autistic people like me have superpowers

[topaz oyster]

"Forces it to be anti-war" is.... I mean at best FMJ is anti-Vietnam, which I feel like is different than being anti-war generally

[molten jetty]

https://tenor.com/view/anime-autistic-shrieks-reaction-meme-gif-12409051

[oak ivy]

when you think about it the real modern pro-war movies are video games

[novel bear]

believe me, people have been thinking about that

[frank quail]

Oh hang on, was DitF pro child soldier (they seemed to have together better then the adults in their society, but also it's been a few years)

[frank quail]

CoD has not been far from my mind

[oak ivy]

i think superbunnyhop has the defining video on that with his battlefield 3 campaign video

[frank quail]

Also sniper elite

[heavy anchor]

Ah DitF is truly one of the shows of all time

[novel bear]

look man the mechas NEED to be piloted by child soldiers if we want to get children invested in watching so they'll become lifelong fans and keep buying model kits

[heavy anchor]

Are magical girls child soldiers

[novel bear]

most magical girls aren't part of a formal military structure

[oak ivy]

Ah, so no mecha can be truly anti-child soldier, because it spends too much time ending with advertising /hj

[cold sequoia]

I think the Kubrick's take on war is a bit more nuanced that most people would think, but I don't think that being anti-Vietnam is really different from being anti-war. Being anti-war doesn't mean that you think "the soviet union shouldn't have fought in WWII when they were invaded", it means "the war should not have happened"

[topaz oyster]

Aren't they like child special operatives though? That seems worse not better

[heavy anchor]

Child special operatives is a sentence

[oak ivy]

violet evergarden? is that you?

[frank quail]

c.f. madoka and everything made after it

[cold sequoia]

like, I think it's the opinion that in every good war (that is one where there is a side who is justified in fighting it) there is necessarily a side that is unjustified and so the war on the whole is actually bad

[novel bear]

puts on 17S hat can you please provide a proper definition of special operatives? i'll compare it to my definition of magical girls

[heavy anchor]

Violet evergarden is very clearly anti child soldiers

[candid peak]

Something very funny about people calling Knives Out Umineko is ||the patriarch of Knives Out is protrayed as a good person (for some reason) when Kinzo is anything but||

@wise epoch is probably the only one that can understand this

[frank quail]

Yeah but also the times she does fight she's an absolute badass

[novel bear]

if i didn't already notice our one other mutual server i would have noticed it now

[topaz oyster]

Alright, I'll bite

[wise epoch]

Yes

[heavy anchor]

I mean she should be after years of training. But the toll it took is literally the entire plot

[frank quail]

Steel, I want you read back the prior conversation about anti war movies

[novel bear]

to me that seems like they're still part of a structured military, they take orders, they have a boss. while magical girls are usually fairly independent, and are often guided by a sort of magical animal companion who doesn't give them orders, but just informs of them of the moral need to do something about the monsters invading from another dimension.

[heavy anchor]

I read it

[oak ivy]

KDH ||im imagining the one dad that showed up to the show for his daughter thinking "wtf am i watching"||

[novel bear]

and magical girls don't really do special ops in that sense, but just superhero style, stop the monster from destroying the city

[heavy anchor]

But saying violet evergarden is pro war is just, not accurate

[novel bear]

i'm not actually sure these definitions are mutually exclusive, but they have very different vibes

[oak ivy]

what things are pro war

[frank quail]

Honestly thought you'd stopped watching this half way through

[oak ivy]

do we have any non-trivial examples

[oak ivy]

i took a break

[heavy anchor]

Hm

[topaz oyster]

Easiest example is wartime propaganda films

Lifeboat comes to mind

[heavy anchor]

It's easier to say pro military, because most often it's easier and less controversial to show the military beating up a generically evil enemy

[novel bear]

imo this discussion is less about categorizing series as being ultimately pro- or anti-war in their thematic statements, but about the fact that scenes structured around the use of violence to solve problems in a positive way are implicitly pro-war (assuming the violence exists in a military context). and that is the case whether it is most of the story, or a single scene thematically incongruent with the rest of the story.

[cold sequoia]

for context, here is the original quote where the anti-war thing comes from

Gene Siskel — There’s very little killing in your films. How come?
François Truffaut — I find that violence is very ambiguous in movies. For example, some films claim to be antiwar, but I don’t think I’ve really seen an antiwar film. Every film about war ends up being pro-war.
Gene Siskel — Even a film like Kubrick’s “Paths of Glory” or his “Dr. Strangelove”?
François Truffaut — Yes, I think Kubrick likes violence very much.

[frank quail]

Based on one throwaway joke in a Dan Olsen video, Jarhead 2
(I have never seen anything Jarhead, I'm not even convinced there's a sequel)

[dusk hound]

Damnit did I miss a debate

[frank quail]

Not yet

[heavy anchor]

Battle los Angeles comes to mind as a movie like that, where you have the military v generic aliens

[topaz oyster]

But I think you could make a very strong case for films like Midway or A Bridge Too Far or that class of post-WWII pre-Vietnam war movie

[molten jetty]

I did too

[topaz oyster]

Battleship

[oak ivy]

what about top gun

[heavy anchor]

HA

Yeah that too, faceless enemy, pro military

Hot men

[cold sequoia]

basically any WWII movie (made by either side), any movie with Mark Ruffalo as a soldier, stuff like American Sniper

etc

[oak ivy]

transformers is hella pro military

[topaz oyster]

I do think that splits an admittedly fine hair between being pro military and pro war

[frank quail]

Are they though?
The military/government ends up antagonistic later in the movie series, right?

[heavy anchor]

Id say most pro-military stories need to take steps to simplify and polarize the sides, so the true horror of war is never really shown
Any story that really digs into the realities of the people I'd say is usually anti war, just because it's immediately horrifying

Pro war is more often just propaganda

[molten jetty]

Is this referring to (KDH) || the boy band song||?

[cold sequoia]

the military is fine with being portrayed as the nebulous bad guys if they are also shown to be cool, as far as I know they still subsidized it

[frank quail]

War=paganda
QED

[oak ivy]

i think pro military is usually characterized by not being reciprocal: our squad kills a hundred people, one of our gets shot, sad music, everything tense, kill two hundred in response and so on.

[heavy anchor]

Well I guess documentaries find a middle place, if it's unbiased in showing the actual history of a war

[frank quail]

Very true

[oak ivy]

||i am at the awards||

[cold sequoia]

basically, the military is not trying the recruit the people who see a transformers movie made by Michael Bay and go "wow, the US military was kind of antagonistic towards the protagonists"

[topaz oyster]

Band of Brothers is fairly aggressive in exploring the horrors of WWII especially by the standard of WWII films and I wouldn't at all call it anti-war

[heavy anchor]

Hm, but I'd almost dump that closer to a documentary (with a good amount of dramatization)

[cold sequoia]

I would call Band of Brothers pro war yeah

[frank quail]

Do you mean WWII movies made at the time?

[cold sequoia]

yes but also most ones made since then (for instance that Brad Pitt tank movie)

[topaz oyster]

Fury

[cold sequoia]

https://tenor.com/view/brad-pitt-fury-movie-shoot-that-guy-gif-8829002926137263043

[oak ivy]

can we just have this entire convo in the context of the rambo films

[cold sequoia]

I will not deny that seeing Brad Pitt's tank shoot nazi tanks and make them blow up was cool and fun

[topaz oyster]

Apparently they're trying to make a Rambo Origins movie?

[novel bear]

violence is cool and fun (if sufficiently separated from reality)

[topaz oyster]

As if First Blood wasn't exactly that

[novel bear]

i think we should be honest about ourselves and how the way that we enjoy violence in media is bad, but also i'm kinda bad

[frank quail]

NGL, the propaganda is working on me, I want to see this film

[cold sequoia]

it's a good movie

fun fact: featuring a pre-crazy Shia LaBeouf

[keen flax]

I like violence

I have no other opinions in the conversation

[oak ivy]

no stormlight. THERE is a pro- gets dragged offstage

[oak ivy]

its pro military btw

[keen flax]

🫢

[frank quail]

I feel like Brandon's books are (not so) secretly pro a lot of things, whether he realises it or not

[oak ivy]

i think he realizes it

the pduedo-meme of brandon not intending a lot in his work is overblown

[cold sequoia]

not to plug Shardcast, but I think that interviews he does where he gets the chance to do a postmortem on his books after they come out shows that he does put quite a lot of thought into theme and such

[topaz oyster]

Plug away

[oak ivy]

I FINISHED

I HAVENT COMPLETED THE KPOP

really good movie

kon-tiki never watch it if you do you will immedietely spontaneously combust

[keen flax]

I wanna see him blow up :((

But YIPEE YOU LIKED IT XD

Now you see why its been burned into my braincells for days now right??? :3

[molten jetty]

It’s a very fun movie ☺️

[topaz oyster]

I mean I doubt it

But it is an animated musical and as far as I can tell it leans into the animated and the musical in ways I specifically dislike about both so the chances of me enjoying it are slim

Yes ducky you need to share with the class 👀👀

[molten jetty]

Musicals are poggers that’s why

[keen flax]

That's true, which is why in this essay i will argue that the Minecraft movies is one of the best musicals of the year 😌

No i will not be taking questions or debates

This is my #2

KDH ||Your Idol is my fav||

KDH ||I have so many questions and desires for fulfillment of the romance ||

[oak ivy]

||it sounds like "this is what it soundss likeeee"||

[oak ivy]

||i like they didnt force a kiss or anything, but yes easy sequel bait||

||also the other two need their own arc||

||the main girl was hogging all the character stuff, and i even feel like her demon thing is not resolved||

KDH ||i think they did a really good job incorporating the songs||

[molten jetty]

KDH ||the songs did a great job at being KPop songs and serving the plot||

[oak ivy]

||i will say, the entire movie takes place over a week which is funny||

[keen flax]

Agreed!! (KDH) ||The lyrics are so fun to actually listen to becahse it's plot relevant and at the same time, still kpop nonsense 😂||

[molten jetty]

KDH ||what is big sequel bait potentially is the honmoon turning rainbow and not gold and they needed it to be gold||

[oak ivy]

||just generic enough to project, specific enough to work narratively||

[oak ivy]

oh yeah now we are cooking with fire

watching this film was like walking into a crackhouse and seeing a whole bunch of people snort cocaine, and the cocaine is good, but clearly there are levels to the enjoyment you are never going to get to

||they arent really characters lets be real||

[gritty sierra]

kdh ||they're so far over into caricature that it kind of gives me the ick||

||like handsome squidward. so "handsome" that it ceases to be handsome and becomes kind of blech||

[molten jetty]

KDH ||they are even shown in the movie to be just zombies… that it seems like Jinu is using through magic or smth. A common theory is they are the boy band on the dr’s office wall and sold their souls to be famous, but lost the ability to have any personalities that can appreciate that fame||

[oak ivy]

||jinu runs into a thing in media where if a character keep their clothes on it isnt fan service, and so you can just make them as hot as physically possible and it still be respectable||

[gritty sierra]

kdh ||jinu was created in a military lab to actually hit tho. damn. ||

[keen flax]

||that man was crafted with the divine hands of god, and then he opens his fine ass mouth and whoops suddenly im in a wedding dress 🤭||

both acting and singing

KDH ||The part where Jinu yells and admits that he betrayed his family.... 🫣💖💕💖||

[oak ivy]

just appropriating emojis for your sick agenda

[timid zodiac]

Sick freak

I think Freaky is the correct name for it tbh...

[keen flax]

Yes 😌

Which is why its fitting for when i talk about Kpop Demon Hunters~

[molten jetty]

You know there’s movies made with the “male gaze” where men who like women can enjoy themselves. This is the “female gaze” for those who wanna see attractive men.

[oak ivy]

||it was shameless about it to||

||good for them||

[molten jetty]

Agree

[oak ivy]

||any discourse or hot opinions people have||

[keen flax]

🤔

||no because this is one of those movies where it made my brain so happy I have zero notes, zero thoughts||

[gritty sierra]

kdh ||they should have kissed||

boom

[oak ivy]

||i like that they dont||

||but i dont think it needs to be that way||

||plus they can make out in the sequel||

[gritty sierra]

i will change my "hot" take when the sequel(s) are here 😌

so holding that in trust

[oak ivy]

i want the sequel to be a full on romance

get goofy with it

it is legit a great movie

And this is what scares me

[molten jetty]

This movie does a lot of things well and it is very appealing to wide varieties of groups. Like if you enjoy:
animation
musicals
hot boys
K-pop

or any combination of them, it’s great

Don't worry, I've been exposed to kpop before and have never ended up that interested

[keen flax]

Has anyone ever told you your brain is huge and awesome

[molten jetty]

My hopes for a sequel movie / series would be (KDH) ||expanded demon lore, Zoey and Mira getting more to do, Jinu coming back, learning what is up with Rumi’s parents, and the tiger and bird each get their own hats but the tiger’s is tiny and the bird’s is huge||

oh its been mentioned alright

[keen flax]

I respect having a type glances at my hot war man husband 🤭

[minor ledge]

eh come and see is probably the only truly anti war war movie i can think of

[dusk hound]

The fact that you have 500 husbands is very unhealthy cosmic

[keen flax]

Hey, I am perfectly capable of not falling in love with specific attractive fictional men 😌

Im just a girl 😔

[heavy anchor]

The first part, not the second lol

[ionic lily]

All Quiet on the Western Front was an anti war war film

[keen flax]

Ill prove it to you guys, dont know how but I will 😤

[minor ledge]

The film wasnt

[ionic lily]

It absolutely was

At every point it pounded in the point that the war was pointless and used up young men while people sat at home cheering them on, insulated from the brutality

||It literally ends with the main character being killed by a sniper just before the Armistice is signed||

[minor ledge]

They changed that in the film that was the book

[ionic lily]

No, that was in the film. At least it was in the 1979 one

Actually I think it happened in the 1930 one too, but it’s been a long time since I’ve seen it

[minor ledge]

ah havent watched the 1979 one

[distant birch]

Anyone watched ironheart?

Im curious if its worth watchign

[celest mango]

I did, first ep I wasn’t really convinced, the second one got me more interested and the third was good

I quite like the characters, probably more invested in them than in the story tbh

Also since its only 6 episodes (3 this week, 3 next week) it won’t take much of your time

[distant birch]

Some of the premise interested me so maybe I'll try it out

[celest mango]

Also unrelated but I keep thinking your pfp is Anakin Skywalker when it’s in small for some reason

[minor isle]

Who Supes?

[distant birch]

Superman, I assume

[lone canyon]

Murderbot 1.08 ||I called it too 😭 ||

I've only watched it three times this week but neither of those were in the past two days

this might be withdrawal symptoms coming in

You know that thing that happens at like, 3* Michelin restaurants where the chef is back there individually counting 3,567 grains of salt to put on a perfect 1” cube of some kind of rare Himalayan potato that's been cooked for 17 hours?

KDH ||That's what happened with whoever wrote and designed Jinu's character to have exactly 53.4% confident seductive villain, 37.9% vulnerable sadboi wanting to be saved, appearing at intervals carefully spaced throughout the runtime of his development, and 8.7% disarming, loveable dork sprinkled as a garnish. This is a mastercraft level execution of hotboi archetype. Bone app the teeth.||

[midnight compass]

It is really funny seeing the majority of KDH discussion here be about how hot the guys are when I have zero interest in that

[hushed moss]

This is probably the movie I am most hyped for.

Squid Game has ended

End of an era man

[minor isle]

has ended with s1 for me

had no need being 3 seasons

[dusk hound]

Yeah

Season 2 wasn’t BAD, but the first one was just generationally good

[candid peak]

You know I do think I like Knives Out but there's one thing that's been bothering me
Mainly I don't think it's a good "eat the rich" movie cuz the characters that are rich are mostly one dimensional assholes
Like, to compare it to something like Umineko, those characters are assholes but they have depth
But also Knives Out is a 2 hours movie compared to an 160 VN
So I guess I'm comparing apples to oranges
But maybe I lack joy and whimsy
And should enjoy my tvslop (Deltarune reference)

[cold sequoia]

I think it's less focused on eating the rich and more focused on performative activism that crumbles at the barest hint of losing money

[molten jetty]

S1 told a complete story and any more damages the anti-consumerist message by desiring money in the same way the story criticizes IMO

[minor isle]

exactly
