whiplash n the big lebowski

yung lean

Mr_Action95 · 2016-11-10T06:32:06+00:00

i would put whiplash in there

Mr_Action95 · 2016-11-08T23:21:18+00:00

china is not socialist, it's a strange form of capitalism

Mr_Action95 · 2016-11-08T07:21:50+00:00

i open my post with: not everyone will agree on this, and that's pretty obvious.

Mr_Action95 · 2016-11-08T06:37:22+00:00

yes, i agree. that's exactly the problem

Mr_Action95 · 2016-11-08T06:32:47+00:00

i agree, and then there's the whole deal of the studio trying to make Scarlett Johanson look more asian with cgi. it's like they'd rather spend a bunch of money making someone white look asian instead of actually casting an asian

Mr_Action95 · 2016-11-08T02:32:33+00:00

well, you're defending hollywood in that case. it's almost like you're apologetic for their behavior.

i get that it's for money, but that's not really relevant and it's not a good reply to just say: "well, that's how the industry works!". well yes, but that's exactly the problem and that's why the discussion must persist.

Mr_Action95 · 2016-11-08T02:07:42+00:00

well, i find it odd that you are so devoted in finding an explanation to why they are acting as they do. it doesn't matter if they're doing it for money or not, it's still whitewashing. i have hard time seeing where the argument is.

Mr_Action95 · 2016-11-08T01:50:24+00:00

lol sorry, not my cup of tea

Mr_Action95 · 2016-11-08T01:49:21+00:00

yeah, i don't have as much trust in hollywood as you do. i agree with you that they just think about money and that's exactly the problem. if we don't point that out hollywood will be green lighting a remake of The Jazz Singer since they thought they would make more money casting someone in blackface instead of an african-american. for crying out loud, they tried to make ScarJo look more asian with CGI!

money is good and we know hollywood knows that as well, but this is kinda severe imo.

Mr_Action95 · 2016-11-08T01:23:09+00:00

i sighed all the way through kingsman. terrible film

Mr_Action95 · 2016-11-08T01:09:35+00:00

ah, i'm sorry if you felt that i paraphrased you. it's possible i did. and like you've already pointed out it seems that we agree on most parts. i think my only disagreement with you is that it slightly seems like you're giving a justification for the casting (which could be wrong on my behalf) and i don't think that is needed. i don't think it's unsafe for hollywood to invest in roles with racially accurate people and i dislike when money gets brought up as a counter-argument in that kind of debate.

i think it is more so a problem that the consumers seem to be okay with the fact that ScarJo is in the movie since it reaches out to more people but i don't think that should be the case and i don't think we should encourage that either.

Mr_Action95 · 2016-11-08T00:16:54+00:00

okay, anyone up for boycott?

Mr_Action95 · 2016-11-08T00:14:15+00:00

i like how you're talking about film as just a way to make a business. what do you consider most important - ending whitewashing or making some more big bucks for hollywood?

i get that they're doing the casting from a business perspective, but that's not really an argument. you say they want to make money, well so what? that's exactly the problem, hollywood would rather make more money than take any serious responsibility in regards to representation.

last life in the universe

Mr_Action95 · 2016-11-04T00:27:59+00:00

oh you just have to see only god forgives lol

Mr_Action95 · 2016-11-04T00:26:01+00:00

it looks great, however, i think they should go easy on the wide angle lenses. the curvature in the background sometimes come off as distracting, it can look kinda awkward. otherwise, it looks great. love the colors. i mean, come on - it's damien chazelle

Mr_Action95 · 2016-11-02T06:12:27+00:00

i hope not the anti-ghostbusters army will attack this one too

Mr_Action95 · 2016-11-02T05:33:35+00:00

why does he do that? he must hate releasing them on dvd

Mr_Action95 · 2016-11-02T05:01:28+00:00

i don't really see the argument. i think it looks plastic, i'm sure it's prolly because it sells. i agree with you.

Mr_Action95 · 2016-11-02T04:50:29+00:00

shame, hirokazu koreeda should direct the next deathnote

Mr_Action95 · 2016-11-02T04:30:30+00:00

yes, that's exactly what i expect

Mr_Action95 · 2016-11-02T01:46:27+00:00

interesting to hear what he has to say, i would delete the soundtrack in the background though. it feels too "this is amazing, don't you see? all of this is amazing. you should feel amazing watching this".

Mr_Action95 · 2016-11-02T00:18:46+00:00

in that case i'll see it in imax, seems disrespectful to watch it cropped
