Date: September 27th, 2025 4:19 PM Author: carnelian sanctuary The Pynchon novel is shitlib/glorifies 60s radicals somewhat but is also kind of absurdist and self-aware. It looks like this guy ported it to the current day and made it a polemic for open borders and brown supremacy. I highly doubt it has the subtlety of the novel since this is a clear attempt at being the Resistance Oscar Bait of Trump 2, which is NOT FUNNY and VERY SERIOUS YOU GUYS.

More importantly, I'm not sure a movie like this is a "failure" anymore. Some streamer would've paid $200 million for an Oscar contender starring Leonardo DiCaprio. Is it really a downside if it makes $200 million on top of that internationally? |

|
Date: October 7th, 2025 12:18 PM Author: Effete resort kitty No doubt it would have been a better ROI to make 20 horror movies, but it’s going to finish with global box office between $150-200 million and make another $100 million from rentals/streaming. Plus it will clean up at awards season, guaranteed to be nominated.
And taking a longer view, it really is a great movie that’s very rewatchable and will possibly be considered one of the classics of the Trump era. |

Date: October 7th, 2025 12:15 PM Author: mildly autistic ocher milk stage I watched it
it was…interesting. |
|
Date: October 7th, 2025 12:25 PM Author: Effete resort kitty I don’t really understand the conservative critique. On the one hand they’re saying that leftist terrorists are running amok IRL and so therefore it’s wrong to make a movie about leftist terrorists running amok.
While the leftists are ostensibly the good guys in the movie (mainly because the rightists are clearly bad guys) a major theme is that the struggle will go on forever and no one can ever break out of the cycle. |
|
Date: October 7th, 2025 12:49 PM Author: mildly autistic ocher milk stage I haven’t read anything about the movie, just watched the trailer
Sean Penn was obviously a caricature of an evil white man who also is a WOC loving fag freak (basically EPAH)
but in general yeah both sides were not treated sympathetically. it’s just a dumb and fun movie that was very well done but has no real point |
|
Date: October 7th, 2025 1:27 PM Author: Effete resort kitty I don’t agree that it’s dumb. I think Benicio Del Toro’s character, literally Sensei, is the key to understanding the whole thing. He’s introduced off camera saying, “you forgot to breathe.” Then he’s a force for calm progress throughout his time on film.
I want to see the Sisters of the Brave Beavers X-rated film. Apparently that’s based on a real life weed convent. |
