General Movies Thread

[Kelnish]

Kelnish approves of this film. Ive seen it like 40 times and read the book like thrice.

[Christemo]

Im thinking of getting the book at some point

[Vagrant]

Not directly. But having the dude who espouses it all get killed because he's literally just a fragmented second personality makes it reasonably clear to anyone who doesn't need to be spoonfed. That path lies madness and ultimately death and destruction.

I thought about going to see Antman then I remembered it was Antman.

[Elthanes]

I watched it when I was 14 and loved it

its probably awful from a feminist perspective but Idk

In what way does that movie have anything to do with feminism?

[Kirby]

Something doesn't have to be about feminism to be viewed from a feminist perspective.

Though (from hearsay on this thread, I haven't seen it) it deals with the idea of masculinity a lot, so...

its a movie that starts in a testicular cancer support group, spends the rest of it with a pseudo-messianic figure talking about male self image the entire time, and ends with dicks exploding

SUBTLE MOVIE

[Kirby]

[I3uster]

kirby get out of this thread and actually watch it

[SeiKeo]

imo if your first association of " corporate business skycrapers" is with "dicks" you're part of the problem

Hmmm giant ostentatious building dedicated to wealth and power and exclusively staffed by men in traditional masculine outfits

[Strife ❤️]

You guys made me order it from Amazon to watch again.

[Christemo]

Its on Netflix if you have it.

[Polly]

Yo ho, yo ho...

Socialist doesn't believe artists should be compensated for their work, big surprise.

[Polly]

I buy artwork whenever and wherever I can afford to, but I'm fucking poor and wouldn't really experience media much if I bought everything I ever wanted to watch, dickface.

maybe movies don't count inasmuch as they are an industrial creation that plays into the system of capital and not authentic art Polly play along

[kay4today]

Tell me more about your consumption of anime

[SeiKeo]

I can think of at least three other socialist reasons to pirate movies it's not hard.

Obviously the exchange of capital denigrates their status as art, but practicality does demand resources to live and create, and large scale visions such as major motion pictures can require an alliance with less artistically inclined individuals and organizations.

All of this and more in my upcoming book: The Thieves of the East: The Story of Piracy
