Rules for Movies & TV Discussion

  1. Any discussion of Disney properties should contain a (cw: imperialism) tag. If your post isn't tagged appropriately it will be removed.

  2. Anti-Bong Joon-ho trolling will result in an immediate ban from c/movies and submitted to the site administrators for review.

  3. On Star Trek Sunday only posts discussing how we might achieve space communism are permitted. Non-Star Trek related content will be removed and you will be temporarily banned until the following Sunday.

Here's a list of tons of leftist movies.

Friends dragged me to Inside Out 2 and it was saccharine dogshit that mostly made me think of my awkward moments in high school sports. To its credit it was only 90 minutes long. Anyway Zizek's idea would have been much more unhinged and interesting.

He's right about this one.

I might not go as far as to say that every piece of media produced has to display the worst horrors currently going on but I share the annoyance with characters always being materially safe upper middle class people.

The default "normal person whose material conditions warrants no explanation" is always way richer than the actual average person. They all live ins big houses, drive nice cars, go to nice restaurants and go on nice vacations. The backdrop on which an unrelated story is told is never somebody who lives in a place that is a bit too small for the household or someone who can't afford to fix their car or someone who doesn't work a phoney baloney job in a corporate office.
