too many people have drunk from the poisoned fountain of Corporate Canon and allowed suits to tell them what to believe about art

So good! Perfect sci-fi fantasy landscapes and beasts, found family, fun action, so much to love!

Like, it’s full of horror and trauma and some truly grotesque body horror, and there’s death and brutal violence, but also such an incredible centering of queer joy and pleasure, and the hilarious absurdity of horniness at the most inopportune of times. Just a fantastic read

These fucks…

Anyway, before The Rock gets any awards for The Smashing Machine, go watch his weirdest performance as Boxer Santaros/Jericho Cane- alternating between twitchy neurotic and stoic “hero” who says nonsense like “I’m a pimp. And pimps don’t commit suicide.”

“Everyone is twelve” now? Yeah, and Southland Tales is exactly as adolescently absurd as the US is now. It’s a kind of dumb-cool that could only have been achieved by the Donnie Darko cat getting a budget to rant about post-9/11 US politics

“But Idiocracy…”
A- Idiocracy has a weirdly eugenist prologue
B- Idiocracy assumes that even though everyone is stupid, our leaders will still look to someone smarter for answers and actually care about the wellbeing of others.
Not Southland Tales though…
