Read the book to Live and Let Die, if you want to experience Ian Flemming's thinly veiled seething contempt toward America and Haiti. It's pretty funny.

>attempted to serve as Japan tourism for Brits
Interesting. I thought the director or one of the producers was just a weeb who obsessed over every detail of the culture. But that explains why the entire movie takes place just in that one country.

>>299193
No, it was all shoehorned. Apparently Connery hated filming it, super stressed out. Same with Thunderball but to a slightly lesser extent.

>>299193
That was part of the appeal of early Bond. If you were some working class urchin in 60's Britain, these movies gave you a look at all of these exotic places.

>>299193
>>299194
No, the reason the movie takes place mostly in Japan is that most of the novel takes place in Japan as well.

Black Adam's Race-War Fantasy

Dwayne Johnson: no longer The Rock, but a pebble, degrading his fans and himself

By Armond White

Dwayne Johnson acts 'twixt and tween Hollywood's stereotype black villains and stereotype black victims. That Johnson (The Rock) can play both is the basis of Black Adam, the new episode of Warner Bros. Studio's comic-book-based franchise DC Extended Universe. The post-Zack Snyder troubles of DCEU have been the subject of such excessive media bias that it is impossible to suspend disbelief while watching Black Adam.

We now know so much about the behind-the-scenes content-making and celebrity that Black Adam's attempt to exploit the political moment and audience taste is insultingly obvious.

The Rock is presented as Teth Adam, a Middle Eastern slave who was imprisoned in Kahndaq 5,000 years ago and now, unleashed with magic powers, seeks revenge on the modern world. Possessed of anger, intent on vengeance, Black Adam is no mere freedom fighter - or cashless-bail recidivist. His powers and misguided rage can be matched only by a band of righteous liberals called the Justice Society of America.

It's blatant Hollywood liberalism and a less-than-glorious, dull-witted pastiche of every action-movie gimmick since The Rock first appeared in The Mummy Returns in 2001. This includes ripping off The Scorpion King, Snyder's 300, Batman v Superman, and as many of the Marvel Cinematic Universe rivals to DCEU as possible.

Most flagrantly, Marvel's box-office behemoth Black Panther is the inspiration for Black Adam's trite, trashy race politics. The title "Black Adam" proclaims banal race consciousness. Not just a derivative of "Black Panther," it's The Rock on display as a muscle-bound version of the racist cliché "Black Girl Magic." All the special-effects battle scenes, explosions, blue lightning bolts, and occult transformations are flaunted to induce the same fake awe as the ersatz tribalism in Black Panther and The Woman King. It's plainly an effort to preempt the upcoming Black Panther sequel Wakanda Forever. All of progressive Hollywood is in on the project to either brainwash or infantilize audiences, using a combination of CGI spectacle, familiar kinetic sensation, and fanboy grievance porn.

I will give thanks for two things
Daftsex is back and all my playlists are still saved! Glory to Jesus!
Isekai Ojisan is also back.

Breast reductions should be outlawed.

He was entertaining and got an audience.

>>298991
That was the AVGN, Doug was never funny let alone entertaining, he was more of a:
>Better like his shit so you could fit in.
<Don't wanna' end up excluded don't you?

>>298995
James started at his peak and only went downhill. Doug started good and just kept getting better.

>>298967
Came along at the right time, and also aggressively self-promoted. The time when he gatecrashed that AVGN fan meeting was a huge turning point.

>>298995
Even if you don't think so, a lot of people thought he was entertaining, enough to give him an audience.

Well I watched it again. I forgot he says "I'm the protagonist" twice. I think the problem with the movie is that the plot is written in a manner where many details are omitted, and the ones he deemed necessary to include are largely CRAMMED via the most concise and deliberately direct dialogue which is so overused that it attempts to check itself with even more absurdities. There's lines like, "Don't try to understand it," and "Is your head hurting yet?"

It could have been told from any number of starting points, but it began where the main character would be perceived as the protagonist, and this was so apparent that even the character had the self-awareness. This leaves out all of the infrastructure of the organization involved with these technologies, and it forces the inclusion of what would be potentially good story telling, is replaced by dialogue reductions.
For example, what if the scientist was traveling through time to assemble the machine. The ending of the movie just makes me laugh because the story isn't over, and one of the characters outright states this by saying "You're only half way through," so the entire second half of the pincer movement is implied and forced upon the viewer to imagine it themselves. This is infinitely more difficult than understanding the movie itself.

>>298873
There is too much exposition in the film, and that is partly because the plot is retarded.
Besides that, the antagonist is awful. Branagh is like "RAAAAH! I'M A RUSSIAN GUY! I'M A REALLY BAD GUY! YOU BETTER NOT LIKE ME RAAAAH!"
It was Nolan's attempt to be woke and it looked ridiculous.

>>298874
>It was Nolan's attempt to be woke
100% this
Things were going downhill with Dunkirk, but it still pulled off some amazing scenes.
The only thing this movie has going for it is the fight choreography between two opposite entropy fighters, and the car scenes. It's amazing how the same fight can look different from different points of views.

It just didn't make sense how you could supposedly have free will while reversed or that you could manipulate bullets or objects that were reversed by pretending to have dropped them, making them return to your hand.

>>298805
Missed opportunity of the century to not make the plot a tenet, but maybe the second half will be in TENET Shot on IMAX film 2.

>Sling Blade
That was just alright. It was like some Gucci loafers' idea of the Deep South.

Fight Club is way too good. Everytime you rewatch it, it's still enjoyable.

What about indie films about young adults, young adult dramas and romcoms? After the mid 2000's we never got anything good like those 90's young adult films imo.
Same can be said about sci-fi horror films.

Also, a few weeks ago someone here recommended me a film similar to Dazed and Confused but I ended up not recording the name or saving it, any recommendations?

Juno killed the genre.

Meds, or lack thereof have nothing to do with my opinion. Read the fucking book.

I think my post is underrated. You will never understand it because you folks have never seen The Exorcist III.
