  • For the few people who didn’t already watch it, and the best movie of all time :

    Mad Max: Fury road (2015 ) by Miller .

    This is what film story telling is about: having an entire weird universe told through visual medium. The 1st half hour has mad max gagged and incapable of talking, and it is amazing. Preferably on big screen.

    A gem from the past:

    Taboo(1999), by Nagisa Ôshima,

    a samurai movie with hint of homosexuality. and an ending that can only be understood by paying close attention to the sound off screen.

    A classic:

    Seven samurai(1954), Kurosawa.

    Just enjoy the black and white shot , and immerse in old Japanese culture




  • So you think if something is bad enough it is ok to discriminate again. Meaning you place the bar of disparaging some contend at around average value , so not at high elite value.

    That can hold. It still depend on your value judgement of the content in question. Someone could think that lemmy.ml contend is “unfunny garbage”.

    The point of a site like this one, is that not one person is the decider. Not you or me. Users vote what is or is not funny, so that the “avergagely” funny systematically go on top. The more people they are, the more the average will mirror the real world population… I think considering the average population to not be “worthy” is pretty elitist. There are a lot of problem in such a site: Hive mind, trolling, mass vote, bot usage… But discriminating against normal human user (even the worse one) doesn’t seems to me like a solution









  • Claymore:

    2007 anime. From a manga. Women with gigantic swords , the Claymore, fight some sort of demons in a forsaken world. We follow Clare, the Claymore Number 47, the least powerful of them all.

    Every episode has some sort of a twist, with new information about the incredible rich world and lore, and the power and origin of the Claymore. Drawing is captivating, unique, gorgeous. The eyes!

    Way better than Berserker, in the sense, that everything make sense and is foreshadow in Claymore.
