Really not a fan of the second film, but I loved the first one. The scene where the protagonist drops to his knees at the ruined Statue of Liberty was perfect.

They should just adapt the post Aliens comic books where Hicks, Newt, and Ripley team up to kill the Queen Mother and the Earth gets wrecked by mind controlled xenomorph cultists.

What do you guys think of Richard Morgan who wrote the Altered Carbon book and etc? I heard recently he was a Marxist and so was thinking of re-reading his work as an adult.

I read it when i was quite young, but it was good cyberpunk cross with detective noir, the tv show played the idea of death all to non-serious for me, probably for reasons of action, in the book death is a really big deal and a lot of it is about the human body and etc becoming a commodity, it's also interspersed with these radical aphorisms from a referenced failed revolution that i don't think the show bothered with, like pretty sure it kept saying dangerously based things like annihilate porky.

i made an abomination by trying to make mediterranean pasta sauce while replacing a bunch of ingredients that aren't available where i am with alternatives. it came out really watery and gross. i ate a bit of it and left in my fridge and the next day i sorta fixed it by adding a bunch of butter and garlic and accompanying it with alcohol. so if you ever fuck up a pasta, just add butter and garlic and eat it with beer/wine/cider or whatever. thumbs up emoji

Currently Reading the Don Flows Home to the Sea, the second in a duology depicting the lives of the Don Cossacks shortly before World War I and into the Russian Civil War. Lots of great comparison between the roughness of the Cossacks and the land itself.

I was going to say "what a coincidence, I'm also reading it" but then I realized your post is four months old, so not that much of a coincidence.
Anyway, I'm not that deep into it yet but I'm actually enjoying it immensely. But I tend to like plotless books. I actually find it refreshing how much of the book is just dedicated to drawing out the protagonist's deranged aestheticism. But I can also see why that would put people to sleep.

I thought getting into the classics was just a matter of picking up the books as cheap as possible and reading them at your leisure but apparently you also have to be extra careful that you don't get a shitty translation or low quality edition. Like I found out that the copies of The Count of Monte Cristo and Crime and Punishment I read at my school library were made by some sketchy Mexican publisher that although it sells literature classics at very low prices it also cuts several pages of both books, had several typos and outright censored lots of shit because the translation they got was made during Franco era Spain.
It fucking sucks how people have to pay more to get the REAL book from a proper publisher like if it was some special edition of a video game, completely anti-art.

I really enjoyed it. Just like Breaking Bad, though, my opinion is that all shows should be this level of smart, this shouldn't be the unique diamond it inevitably will become. I also don't think it needs a season 2. It's going to stuffer from the same writing issues every season 2 show has when it wraps up everything so neatly. It'll focus too much on interpersonal drama to delay and buffer episodes because they don't have a real plot anymore. It'll also pull a midichlorians bullshit when it inevitably explains too much lore about the alternate dimension powered by mother earth or whatever they decide it will be.

Yes, the writing was good, the politics were on point, the art style grew on me, and the animation was great when it wanted to be (just look at the way the turtle blinks!)

Conan The Barbarian movie review Anonymous 06-03-22 00:09:23 No.23341[Reply][Last 50 Posts]

The ur-reactionary film

From time to time you get these right wing movies such as 300 and Conan the Barbarian which I call "reactionary films", i.e. any movie which is based on some hypermasculine white guy beating back the androgyne, ethnic forces of evil. Conan the Barbarian (1982) is the perfect example of this, the ur-reactionary movie

TLDR: Conan the barbarian (1982 movies) is a 1980s right wing movie, part of the Reagan turn/backlash against the 60s/70s. The witch he encounters and has sex with early through the movie is supposed to represent the evils of "free love", she literally turns into a ghost demon as she orgasms. The whole part where the girls father, the king asks Conan to get his daughter back from Thulsa Doom who is (probably) sexing his daughter. The cultists of Thulsa doom are supposed to be an analogue for hippie-commune 1960s people who tell Conan to "go back to the land" and have flower power shit. Next there's there's the gay snake-priest that tries to seduce Conan but Conan beats him up. The Villain of the movie is an ultra masculine deep voice black man (James Earl Jones as "Thulsa Doom") who has hypnotized a cult full of nubile dancing white girls into a sexualized stupor, sort of combining 1970s anti cult shit with anti hippie stuff. At the end the hippies put out their new age candles and shit and leave, and the girls go back to their fathers. All delivered by an ultramasculine white man (Arnie) to defeat and buckbreak black hypermasculinity (James Earl Jones). Essentially its the artistic reaction to undo the 1960s/70s and everything about it including sexuality, race, etc.

Long Version:

I: Introduction

Conan the Barbarian is a 1982 epic sword and sorcery film directed by John Milius and written by him and Oliver Stone. Based on Robert E. Howard‘s Conan, the film stars Arnold Schwarzenegger in the title role and James Earl Jones, with Sandahl Bergman, Gerry Lopez, Max von Sydow, Mako, Sven-Ole Thorsen, and Ben Davidson.

The film gave Schwarzenegger worldwide recognition, and in the years since its release, it became a cult film, making a lot more money on home video. It spawned a sequel, Conan the Destroyer, in 1984, and a reboot was made in 2011.

A link to quotes from the film can be found here.

The original Avatar MoCap is pretty damn intriguing. I think I like the design a bit more, in the sense that the narrower faces and less hyper-realism was interesting.

It's hilarious that Sopranos and hardcore GoT fans have the exact same fandom arc. both used to brag nonstop about how gritty, realistic, and "true to life" their shows were. Then historians clowned of GoT's fake "medieval realism," and actual mobsters started publicly saying The Sopranos wasn't all that authentic either.
Now they've both done the exact same backpedal: "It was never about realism. It's about the character dynamics."

I don't think you understand the time period. Both when the show was airing and in its early online fandom, the community bent over backward to argue that the show was realistic. This wasn't some niche opinion, it was the prevailing attitude.

So I do this largely forum-based RP and one of the big things there is 'faction' RP, where there's a big emphasis put on geopolitical stuff. Since like 2019 I was doing RP partly as an exercise in social fiction. I also run a character who left the Jedi Order because it was full of idealist pussies and liberals. He has since become Mand'alor and rides a boomer-ass Basilisk droid into battle, it's kino shit.

The Solidarity started as a coalition of Outer Rim spacers, droids, and AGIs who rose out of a massive slave revolt during the Hutts’ collapse. By ~300 ABY, they’ve grown into a hyperstate of around 100,000 planets, running on a centrally planned economy and labor-credit system. Their alliance with the Republic is pragmatic: both need each other against the Sith, but the Republic also keeps ties with the Hutts, who are quietly reviving slavery as debt peonage.

Militarily, the Solidarity fields smaller but far higher-quality forces than their rivals, avoiding clone or droid armies out of principle; they uphold a “joint dictatorship of the organic and synthetic proletariats.” They’ve just finished a war that quadrupled their territory and can’t sustain more fighting, so their focus is political: undermining and delegitimizing the Hutts while preparing their own Force traditions alongside the Jedi.

It's quite boring I found.

Also, I reject the idea that Luthen was a hero. He killed a comrade in cold blood. It wasn't even as if the comrade had done anything wrong, Luthen just made a calculation that he might get caught and be forced to leak what had happened and then decided to play god.

Luthen then has the gall to give a speech about how he's made all these sacrifices. But that's the thing, He made the choice to do that and that served his own personal narrative of heroic sacrifice, but he took away that choice from others.

It's weird and disheartening to see people defend Luthen's actions. If he had survived he would be at the very least court martialled by the revolutionary forces and disgraced.

For the best. Star wars is unfortunately a bourgeois dystopia on the level of the cyberpunk genre. As well as having an idealist, un-dialectical worldview, if we take Lucas "latest view" on it.

Plus, it not like the actual writers heading the star wars franchise, don't do the same thing for the content they produce. But the setting is conceptually intoxicating.

petit bourgeois occupation. The Swtor MMO actually pulls no punches in showing how scummy the actual job being a bounty hunter would be, in said name's class story narrative. Commodification of killing and capturing people for the state, criminal elements, and capital. It's not a proletarian friendly occupation.
