But Leo doesn’t actually do anything. The story is told mostly from his perspective but he doesn’t actually save anyone, he mostly just eats shit over and over and Willa has to save herself. Benicio Del Toro and Eric Schweig’s characters are the ones doing the saving mostly.
Also watched Bugonia tonight, probably the best movie of last year. You know it’s a banger fucking year when One Battle After Another wasn’t even the best movie released. Still gotta watch Eddington and I’ll have finally seen every movie I was interested in in 2025. Will Menaker is completely wrong about Yorgos.
The Christmas Adventurers Club is such a great depiction of modern fascism lmao. Just losers who don’t understand how stupid they sound, but still have enough wealth and power to be dangerous.
After watching One Battle After Another: I don’t want to be fully dismissive, but is a lot of the discourse based around not understanding themes if they’re not conveyed through someone directly talking to the camera about what the director thinks? There’s not even really very much ambiguity, the villains are basically comic-book evil and the revolutionaries are very cleary sympathetic-yet-flawed. The fact that the fascists in the movie are Actual Race Purity National Socialists kind of means that the revolutionaries are an objectively necessary force in-universe, so who gives a shit if the movie pokes fun at them a little? What the fuck was anyone actually mad about other than the cringe Jungle Pussy scene which was like 3 minutes and had no greater importance to the rest of the movie
It’s a little “friend who’s too woke” to say you’ll never engage in media with police as the protagonist. No Law & Order? No Columbo? No Zootopia? No like half of 80s action movies? Your media consumption habits have nothing to do with your morality, so chill out a little.
Friend didn’t like The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp because he “can’t relate to these aristocratic types” ok buddy I’m the Marxist here stop trying to act too woke YOU DO NOT IMPRESS ME
I like how they just said he’s a misogynist and provided absolutely no examples lmao
Hear that fellas having sex with soldiers’ wives while they’re out there bombing hospitals is now problematic medias and not the coolest thing ever actually
Movies made during WW2 completely undefeated as of right now
I think the left can stand to be stupider. Unless it steps into reactionary tailism. It’s the internet, who gives a shit. Propaganda wars aren’t won over who makes the best points in the most intelligent way

Netanyahu’s almost definitely still alive, right? So why the silence?
Someone tell BlackRedGuard that there was a white guy with Tourette’s inside that synagogue
idk if this would be considered reactionary but I’m kind of against language barriers. I do think it’s better when more people speak the same language. And if everyone in the world has to learn one language, it should probably be Chinese I guess
Any miniscule subcultural event now gives people the opportunity to make money. It’s like how meme coins are made out of every fucking semi-viral post. The cryptofication of everything, the insider trading of everything, the slopification of everything.
Imagine if Russia warned that they may attack a location in Kyiv, then an explosion happens.
How do you think the AP would report that?
I’ll choose him over the gambling companies destroying everyone’s minds and the world any day
I agree but the OP and ED always starts on the second episode in JoJo
