Anora and the Slice-of-Life Cinema of Sean Baker
I recently watched Sean Baker's Anora and absolutely loved it, and it was a timely reminder that Baker is one of the finest filmmakers working today. The best genre description you can ascribe to Baker's filmography is "slice-of-life." He's all about giving you an honest look into people's lives: the good, the bad, and the ugly.

This has been a pretty nightmarish month. I had a broken tooth, a horrific ear infection, and my house fell apart so I had to move back in with my parents while it was being rebuilt.

The Rocky Horror Picture Show vs. Phantom of the Paradise
Просмотров 36621 день назад
On Halloween 1974, 20th Century Fox released Phantom of the Paradise, a campy musical comedy lampooning the tropes and conventions of the horror genre. Less than a year later, the same studio released The Rocky Horror Picture Show, another campy musical comedy lampooning the tropes and conventions of the horror genre. But which campy mid-'70s horror musical is the better movie of the two? I GOT...

    I just rewatched the OG quadrilogy and I have to say, unpopular hot take but I genuinely enjoyed Alien Resurrection and unironically prefer it over *either* cuts of Alien 3. Even with the Assembly Cut, the third movie was plodding and dull, with no sense of fun or likeable characters and the third act was a giant mess that never seems to end. And what they do to Newt and Hicks at the start is tasteless and unforgiveable, whilst retroactively undermining the second movie!! 4 at least tried different things, had some smart and memorable scenes and interesting character dynamics. It's kind of like a proto-Firefly vibe with the mismatched space pirates etc. Also, I personally liked the strange human emotions of the hybrid at the end, and the look of confusion and betrayal as its own mother destroys him. Also, it was mercifully short and not stretched out.

    Damn, sounds like a bad month, bro! Keep well. *The Batman* - Overly long, with a massive anti-climax given the movie sets Batman up to be the World's Greatest Detective but cant solve a basic riddle that the audience is screaming through the screen at him and then the friggin Penguin of all people has to tell him the answer before the arch nemesis just hands himself in without Bats having to outsmart him in any way... Such a letdown. (Also Pattinson looks so scrawny that I think even I could take him down so that didn't help either!!) *Modern Family* - My all time favourite sitcom Not a single episode made that doesn't elicit at least one belly laugh from me even in later seasons, and they all really do feel like a proper family. *Joker: Folie à Deux* - Glad you liked it, but yh, one of the most laborious slogs of recent years imo. *Boy Kills World* - Kind of like Kick-Ass meets John Wick, but something was missing from this, wasn't as fun or as humorous as the premise and script seemed to promise. Cant put my finger on it but was sadly quite forgettable. *Young Frankenstein* - We all watched this as a family last Xmas. Defo a little dated now. There's about 3 really funny sequences but they are spaced between half hours of flat tediousness. *Alan Partridge: Alpha Papa* - NOW THIS is one that still holds up! No matter how many times I watch this I am howling all the way through! Not really much of a Partridge fan but this movie was so smart and witty; endlessly quotable, and the losing-his-trousers-in-the-window sequence almost made me have a hernia! xD

    It's about feminization. From an evolutionary perspective, very different selective pressures apply to men and women. Women in general are not funny / do not have much of a sense of humor. Men on the other hand cannot stand yap yap talking, interpersonal drama, gossip, soap opera stuff. It's because men have to prove their intelligence by making women laugh to be sexually selected. Whereas, men are not gonna care if a woman is funny or not. If she's hot that's all. Comedy = male, so that is disappearing. Drama / self-insert / soap opera = female, so there is too much of that now. In fact, all the previously male things (Star Wars, Star Trek, Indiana Jones, Lord of the Rings, etc.) have been feminized / self-inserted / soap-opera-fied. This applies more generally to pretty much everything. For example, the rock bands (male) completely disappeared from the the music charts. Now it's all garbage rap + Taylor Swift style pop shit. Long time ago, news used to be news. Just objective reporting of facts. Now turn on the news, it's all drama, chitchat, opinion, gossip, and it's mostly women.
