So is One Bad After Another really good? Or bad? Or meh? Or very divisive and all 3 to different people? #

I thought I was hearing nothing but good things, except I think from FD Signifier, but now I can't tell anymore. Maybe I need to watch it, but don't want to waste my time if it's not as good as say, Andor, at examining left-wing revolutionary politics.

The way i see it, it's just a good comedy nothing more nothing less. It's not a serious movie at all and frankly makes fascists look cooler than the resistance guys.

[–] TheSovietOnion@hexbear.net 11 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Well, it's not a treatise on political economy or a platform for a party. It's pretty much just a fun action/comedy set in a small scale conflict between a leftist underground group and a bunch of nazis and ICE goons.

It's at the very least entertaining, I'd give it a shot.

That sounds fun

Man, between Licorice Pizza and One Battle After Another, Paul Thomas Anderson really has a talent for starting twitter controversies where tons of people have really annoying opinions

Well that makes one thing he's good at!

I like his movies angery

Seriously, if not for him the best director of his generation would be Tarantino, and I don't want to live in that world.

good news: the best director (american, live action) of his generation is David Fincher.

...they're not of the same generation

Also animation and live action are different. Also they're different nationalities.

Just like only trans ppl know how to make fun of trans ppl, only leftists know how to make fun of leftists

[–] oscardejarjayes@hexbear.net 7 points 4 hours ago

I mean, we do have a lot of experience making fun of other leftists. Conservatives just don't do it anywhere near enough.

Thanks for making me spit my drink. Have some reddit gold !

[–] 7bicycles@hexbear.net 7 points 4 hours ago (4 children)

how come we're so good at making fun of right wingers then?

[–] buckykat@hexbear.net 2 points 1 hour ago

They're just really easy to make fun of

[–] anotherspinelessdem@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 hour ago

The other reasons stated are great but a not insignificant number of leftists also came from right wing backgrounds and either rebelled against it or analyzed it and realized how dumb it was.

For my part I spent time with a lot of libertarians as a teenager, which makes sense when you're a stupid teenager and don't know what libertarianism is. Real scrutiny really tears down the facade.

"Only ppl who are part of the group know how to make fun of that group" isnt universally true, and right wingers are just easy to mock

[–] Damarcusart@hexbear.net 3 points 49 minutes ago

I think it's more "people who understand a group are better at making fun of that group." most of us understand right wingers fairly well, since we are surrounded by them every day and their paper thin skin and toddler tantrums over whatever thing the tv has told them to be scared of this week.

[–] Dessa@hexbear.net 18 points 4 hours ago

RW povs are also hegemonic. It's the same reason black people know how to make fun of white people and not vice versa. Everybody is involved in white "culture" whether they want to be or not. Likewise, reqctionary politics surround us. We all get a chance to see it in detail

[–] oscardejarjayes@hexbear.net 3 points 4 hours ago

I'm sure there's some right-wingers, or right-wing positions, that it would be easier for a fellow right-winger to mock. But generally, the average right-wingers beliefs are pretty simple and easy to comprehend, and what you understand you can mock. They do after all tend to avoid higher education.

[–] FALGSConaut@hexbear.net 15 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Makes sense, you have to have at least a baseline understanding of something to properly make fun of it

[–] Aradino@hexbear.net 23 points 6 hours ago

Only after someone knows the particular essence of many different things can they proceed to generalisation and know the common essence of things.

I approve of Disco Elysium. This is a genuine endorsement by the very real, actual Thomas Pynchon.

[–] HiImThomasPynchon@hexbear.net 8 points 7 hours ago

I liked Inherent Vice better.

[–] principalkohoutek@hexbear.net 8 points 6 hours ago

I should probably finish "playing" that reading game
