I was babysitting my nieces and put this on solely because of how absurd the title was. It was actually pretty cute and entertaining, though.

I really liked it. Probably wouldn't if it wasn't animation, the humor was expressed well in its medium. Felt like women made it and reminded me of my own experiences with friends. Just a small detail but I loved that they actually looked barefaced when they weren't wearing makeup. Overall, it got me invested in the MC and the ending with that song was satisfying. I don't want a sequel or the guy to come back so they can be together though. It's good as it is.

Just finished watching the 2019 Batman vs. The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie. It's actually good. The animation during the fights is so cool. The art style and character designs took some time to get used to though, and the continuity of either franchise is a bit confusing because there's mention of one of Batman's sons dying before but it's not clear who, while the Turtles are a mix of the 2003 and 2012 ones, while Shredder is the classic 80s one but he's actually serious and evil and doesn't have any mutant henchmen other than Dr. Dexter Stinkman as a fly, no krang working with him or anything, but he has the mutagen. The story was good though and both characters worked so well together I started believing they do exist in the same franchise for a second lol. There was lots of blood and gore with occasional swearing and neither Batman nor the TMNT hesitated in killing the henchmen. They truly did it the ninja way, which is killing because ninjas are assassins. Yes Batman killed people in this. Crazy. There was a post credits scene showing the Shredder turning into a samurai/ninja Joker and now I need to know if there was a sequel.
>>511235
Watches the trailer to see if I'll like it. The premise kinda reminds me of WoW so I kinda like that. But the rendering that's super smooth is so disturbing. They look like AI generated CGI lmao. The male characters voices are also very amateur sounding, like some random faggots from YouTube, but I'll give it a shot for the story and fashion/aesthetic. I'm not fond of the song snippets because I dislike modern kpop but I'll try to sit through it.

I was this close to putting it on in the background of a family gathering for the kids but didn't. Kinda glad because the overexpreasion animation would have made me cringe and nope out before I learned the story and songs were good. I sat down and watched it properly instead and it was great.

This movie is unironically great and I'm genuinely upset that it's ratings are so low. I sincerely hope that everyone involved in making it realizes that critics are pompous assholes and that their film nails goofy humor without stumbling into dorky millenial territory. Did I mention the asshole bf who rejected Ginormica/Susan doesn't come back in the end and she learns to enjoy an independant life through self-acceptance? Also Insectosaurus is adorable and I wish I still had the McDonalds toy of her that I had as a child.

AGREED. I can still remember this entire movie almost line-for-line kek. I always liked that there was no "ooh there's a GIRL in our group now" attitude from the three male monsters except for a couple of quick jokes, they all just treated her like a friend.

Exactly! They all had good chemistry too, it all felt authentic. I also like how every monster is based off a classic horror film. Susan is based off Attack of the 50ft Woman, Bob is based off The Blob, Missing Link is based off The Creature from Black Lagoon, Dr. Cockroach is based off The Fly and Insectosaurus is based off Mothra

Watched it. Cried my eyes out. The music is kinda average and autotuned to oblivion. But I like that the main female singer has a lower voice than the average kpop singer, but the main male singer has a generic annoying faggy voice. I wish we got to know more about Mira and Zoey though, and about Celine because she seems important but only appears in like 2 or 3 scenes and we don't know much about her. I also was hoping the fight with the big bad demon king would show him in a humanoid form instead of a fire but oh well. Everything else was nice though. The character designs are kinda funny and the references to kpop idol culture were funny to me because some of it felt like parody of these aspects. The outfits and jewelry were very cool. The animation and lighting is great and shows CGI's potential when there's effort put into it. I just wish the faces weren't too stylized though.

I really admire what The Ugly Stepsister was saying, but it hit too close to home. I couldn't finish watching it, it upset me too much. Not the gore or the gross stuff, but just the actual situation and emotions. Obviously it would ruin the story and message if it went this way, but I just wanted Elvira to murder that fucking prince.

It's an incredible movie, I'd still recommend it. It's a good representation of how when men value women solely for their beauty and looks are the most expedient tool for female upward mobility, it drives increasingly damaging competitive behavior between women, while moids don't give a fuck about the damage it causes as long as it results in more pretty women or they get to cash in on beauty treatments. The more we rely on moids for their money, the more we have to win them over with looks, and the less compelled we feel to ally against them. The more money women make, the larger share of the workforce we take up, and the more we band together, the sooner we'll end the scourge of the pickme Olympics males have engineered to their benefit.

I liked it very much, the body horror was way more trigerring for me than in The Substance. Moid critics say the message was 'nothing new or revelatory', but I liked that there was no sugarcoating: if you are an ugly or average woman, you can get all plastic surgery available, you'll still lose with naturally beautiful, modelesque woman. In the end you are fighting for worthless moids' attention and ruining your body in the process. No 'inner beauty' bullshit, the best thing you can do is focusing on something different than your looks and not feeling like you owe anyone being pretty. I sincerely hope more young girls poisoned by plastic surgery tiktok, vindicta and coquette shit watch this.

I'm so happy that my local cinema took this movie into it's schedule, even for a very short time because it was such a great movie and seeing it on the big screen was very great experience, even when it was very graphic at times (the tape worm scene at the end wew yikes). Well done!

That's women's fault and I'm so tired of women constantly painting themselves as victims here (while putting other women under the bus because "muh patriarchy made them do it"). I hate the brand of feminism that strips women of all agency ("socialization made me do it") thus never holding them accountable for anything they do. There was never any solidarity between women and as long as women care about dick they are doomed.(baiting)

And also, Agnes (the Cinderella) lost out, too, because she got raped and the prince is an insufferable prick. Sure she got his money, but she'll soon discover what a jerk he is, and he'll probably cheat on her the second someone prettier than her comes along. Literally everyone but him loses out in the movie, it's pretty bleak.

I liked it, some of the ideas seemed like they were underdeveloped for the sake of time, a lot of the humor felt overly millennial, and the lead trio often acted like three copies of the exact same character imo

I recently watched My Mom Jayne, Mariska Hargitay's documentary on her mom, and it was beautiful. I cried so many times. It made me so sad and angry for Jayne Mansfield because she just wanted to be an actor but moids only cared about her body and took advantage of her.

Same, as an ugly girl who found some safety in physical changes, it hurt so much. I felt awful for every woman besides the older ones (the toxic teacher, Elvira's horrible mother). Loved how it showed ways in which women ourselves uphold patriarchal values, and how being pretty isn't success when it opens you up to abuse and exploitation from gross men. Also loved the focus on sisterhood and solidarity, I was pissed off that The Substance didn't have that and felt so ageist and misogynistic in comparison. Plus on an aesthetic level this film was stunning, it had a very soft but creepy 70s feel, very Borowczyk.

No. 513220

Exactly, felt like the first film I've seen in years that captures how pointless life is for women under patriarchy regardless of how we fight to be pretty or successful. The true beauty in life comes from standing up for one another and showing solidarity. I liked the subtle way Elvira's sister distances herself from femininity throughout, she starts off bitchy in a little-sister way but as soon as she's exposed to how horrific things can get, she hides her periods and starts avoiding her mother. It captured that feeling of 'becoming a woman' and realising how much other women suffer to uphold insane standards, which in turn makes you hate being female for a while.

I watched Phantom of the Opera (2004) and I really enjoyed it. The art, music, and story were all great. I can really see why this is considered a classic.
I actually liked the story more for its themes of tragedy rather than romance. I would really like to check out some more gothic films like this one. Any recs?

My favorite gothic movie of all time is Panna A Netvor. Its similar to phantom in terms of style and tone. Sleepy Hollow, The Brother's Grimm, and Crimson peak also have some good gothic vibes but are nowhere near as good.

I watched it and found it a lot of fun. The music was catchy, the outfits were cool, and I loved the protagonists. I hope they make a sequel in which Zoey and Mira get more screentime, though.

I rewarched picrel yesterday for like the tenth time. It’s a very fun romp, in my opinion, you just have to check your brain in at the door and not be squeamish. I mean, the characters wear “breathing masks” outside, since they’re on Mars and the air is toxic, and the masks are literally just… glasses. Not even scifi goggles. They’re just glasses, it’s really funny.
I usually watch it dubbed, but this time I gave it a try in English and it made me realize that the reason Desolation Williams has few lines, and other characters talk for him most of the movie, is because Ice Cube is a terrible actor, kek. It’s fun how he seems to move around mostly by bouncing on his feet.
