Post-WWII put propaganda/advertising to the next level. Social media turned that to 11.

Nah, we’ve been rewatching the OG trilogy and it isn’t fantastic but some of the actors manage to deliver the cheesy dialogue with some confidence.
People quote Han Solo and not in the Star Wars meme way. And I’ll pick the Han/Leia hate-flirt any day of the week over the Anakin/Padme creepmantic dialogue.
I’d rather kids watch smart movies like The Iron Giant but it’s hard to argue Star Wars has a lot of cool stuff kids will enjoy immensely.
Yeah the prequels have horrible dialogue, bad direction (making a mostly fantastic cast look bad) and many questionable choices. I couldn’t rewatch most of it myself but hating them is a bit strong especially if somebody else is getting harmless enjoyment of it.
That is a funny phenomenon. Maybe there are also more and more people who watched it as younger kids and have a better appreciation than those of us who watched them as adults.
They are, the dialogue is absolutely horrendous. There is a reason is has been memed to death.
That said young kids enjoy it. Sabers go wonwon, blasters go pew pew. And watch them go crazy for that pod race scene.
I love the look of the guy on the bottom left. That’s one hell of a “holy fucking shit!” face.
Or my colleagues trying to fill every possible slot in my daily schedule.
Sadly the lines don’t disappear when filled :-(.
Looping back to feudal lords spending their money mostly on luxury goods.
I was thinking of the Pearl Jam song: “I’d rather be with an animal”.
What kind of crazy competition would this guy fit into?
He needs to read up on what a “3 gun competition” really means because it’s not this.
Reminds me of a scene from the movie Ichi the Killer (fucked up movie). There’s a little old man in a coat seen for most of the movie who eventually doffs the coat to reveal he’s swole and wrecks some guys barehanded.
They’re Slavic now?
Yeah but this time they really deserve the genocide you see? /s
Which is the point of Gorillaz, so they’ve succeeded once more.
I only saw a YouTuber make fun of their “Christopher Columbus did nothing wrong video” (not the actual title).
Their argumentation is terribly weak.
With allies like these, who needs enemies?
Yes it’s complicated and all a question of point of view calling someone a spy, partisan, terrorist, freedom fighter.
But in the end it’s spycraft involving locals vs. some powerful oppressive State. Often involving another sympathic State supporting the partisans using straight-up spies.
For the WW2 spy thing, I guess it’s because I’m very fond of WW2 spy movies based on real events. There are quite a few European movies portraying events and operations done by their local partisans during WW2 and I feel Andor takes some inspiration in those.
The Aubrey/Maturín books are awesome. Too bad they only made a single movie from them (Master and commander) but what a movie it was!
