The Motion Picture Arts Thread
Re: The Motion Picture Arts Thread
fwiw, clockwork orange did present sexually harassing people as more of a bad thing than that it's presented in the pepe le pew looney toon episodes.
Re: The Motion Picture Arts Thread
It's been a while since I've seen pepe le pew but I don't remember it presenting sexual harassment as acceptable even a single time. I was too young to even know what sexual harassment was, but it was still clear that Pepe was a pathetic and oblivious figure, and the butt of the joke, kind of like Johnny Bravo. No kid I knew ever wanted to be Pepe.

Re: The Motion Picture Arts Thread
implying that the people demanding a thing were in any way informed is pretty charitable, in a good way!

well "enough of a bad thing" and "acceptable" are different barsAshenai wrote: ↑Tue Apr 06, 2021 12:20 am It's been a while since I've seen pepe le pew but I don't remember it presenting sexual harassment as acceptable even a single time.

I think it's good that sexual-harassment-as-wacky-hyjinks is falling out of favour, I'm very confused about the clockwork orange addition though

Yeah like I thought that was what the whole cartoon was about.
As for the actual tweet, clown world.

Re: The Motion Picture Arts Thread
I don't remember this ever happening, but when I looked it up without reading every synopsis I only got examples of the "subversions" of the main trope, which are the ones where he ends up harassed by her (sometimes after he has first harassed her).
Also the one episode where he's pursuing a dog and he reveals himself to actually be a dog in a skunk costume at which point she's into him...
...and then reveals to the audience that he was actually a skunk in a dog costume in a skunk costume (okay lol).
So while I can't 100% say that all the "normal" episodes didn't end with her giving in, I think the fact I don't remember it speaks to who is supposed to be the butt of the joke.

my memory is that he's a moron and she always evades himFry Guy wrote:Well that was most of the content but it usually ended with her giving in.

No eventually he gets covered with paint, and so she thinks he's a cat and chases him

agreeing with this by the way. i think it actually speaks to the quality of the movie that it was so fucking "extra," but enjoyable despite thatKhaos wrote:watched the mitchells vs the machines with the fam on netflix. movie was very good!

Re: The Motion Picture Arts Thread
anyway it turns out there's a fan / simp community around the invisible man from the hotel transylvania movies. he's finally getting a face reveal in hotel transylvania four (there's four of them. apparently), and, alas, he's not hot. the simp community, understandably, not taking this great. here's the petition to make him hot

Re: The Motion Picture Arts Thread
Saw knives out and I loved it.
Check/Check plus on the detective and the mystery itself, but loved the Marta character so much. A strong, non-violent protagonist feels vanishingly rare, let alone (and not to go all bechdel on you), a female one who is not contextualized by their relationships.
Just a really great story all around.

Saw my best friends wedding.
Is "cringing while watching it but funny in retrospect" a thing? I bet the french have an expression for it. Just a horrifying experience that you can laugh about later.
