Godzilla (1954) is a choir of destruction and loss

  Troler
👁 6 💬 4


What can be said about Godzilla? It is an icon to name icons. Looking at IMDb, it is unfortunate, although expected, to find 2014 release of Godzilla has 10 times as much ratings as the original 1954 version. Even though some scenes do look pretty goofy, a lot of love was undoubtedly put into it. That love is not always felt when viewing with modern sensibilities. I attempt to remedy the poignant feeling by calculated and logical reasoning and arguments... or more so my own acuity of the work.

The Killing of a Sacred Deer 2017 is Yorgos Lanthimos's attempt to show Lars Von Trier how to properly corrupt the audience

  Blender Dumbass

I was afraid of 2017 absurdist horror film by Yorgos Lanthimos The Killing of a Sacred Deer, because I know it involves a murder of a child. Ever since Lars Von Trier utterly traumatized me with his depiction of this very thing in The House That Jack Built I avoid movies like this. But seeing Bugonia the other day, where I attempted to psycho-sexually analyse Lanthimos, I realized that I avoided a movie that potentially has a lot of what I need for such an analysis. So I braved myself and saw the damn film. Now I think the film was about corrupting the audience enough that they would feel good about a child being murdered. I'm not joking. That is how the movie is structured.

Max Fleischer's Superman flew to the Sun and didn't fall

Oh Superman, who hasn't heard the story of the classic American superhero? Even in this coming-to-close year Superman still stories are being told. Knowing that 2038 the superhero is going to be a century old, it would be good to reflect on history, where it really started. It was born in the head of then 24 Jerry Siegel, child to American immigrant Lithuanian Jews, who fled oppression. Growing up in a Jewish neighborhood, made up of immigrants who fled oppression, meant he heard a lot of stories about their suffering. The competitive character common amongst Judaic culture, is not always well regarded. In a negative environment, they had to adapt and blend in the crowd. This sort of environment together with his love for Science Fiction meant the young Siegel had a particular worldview, a Jewish one. To what extent it was present can be seen in his first major breakthrough — Superman.

Part 3: Developing a Way to do Action Scenes Without Money

  Blender Dumbass

Since the last post in this series the project I've been working on became way more ambitious. The original problem I was trying to solve, was figuring out how to use computer graphics ( mainly Blender ) to cut costs for an action scene in a movie I'm developing. It has cars, so the idea was to try to render some CG cars into real life footage. You can go read Part 2 to see my attempts at this sort of thing.

Bugonia 2025 or the psycho-sexual analysis of Yorgos Lanthimos

Yorgos Lanthimos with his 2025 film Bugonia about the question of whether Emma Stone is an alien from the Andromeda Galaxy, is finally tipping my curiosity on its head, prompting me to give him a proper psycho-sexual analysis.

I have not seen the original 1987 Arnold Schwarzenegger film yet. But I did appreciate the small cameo of Schwarzenegger on the new dollars used for money in the world of the 2025 Edgar Wright's political action-horror-comedy The Running Man.

What Lawrence of Arabia 1962 by David Lean is about?

  Blender Dumbass
👁 14 💬 1


Steven Spielberg, who took a lot of influence from the 1962 film Lawrence of Arabia by David Lean, said this is a kind of movie that would not be done these days. And he is not talking about the epic production, about the elaborate sets, and very complex sequences, that today in the age of CGI would totally be faked to one degree or another. What he is talking about is more political. Thomas Edward Lawrence was not necessarily a good guy. He murdered a lot of people, some in cold blood. As he himself states in the movie: he quite enjoyed it. And yet the film is an epic tale romanticizing this man as a sort of broken mythical hero. Which begs the question: why?

I'm the stupidest man alive. Back in 2021 or so I wrote an article on Odysee where I basically outlined my plan to do Dani's Race, my libre open world game. Yet while the idea is descent and the game turned out to be quite fun, I completely disregarded any considerations when it comes to the market. I didn't think about who might want to play it.

WTF is Hunderds of Beavers 2025 by Mike Cheslik?

  Blender Dumbass
👁 10 💬 1


Wow, what an acid trip. The film ( if you can call it that ) Hundreds of Beavers by Mike Cheslik starring Ryland Tews and Olivia Graves is one of the coolest drug-less high moments of comedy cinema. It feels just coherent enough to be called a movie, and just crazy enough to be considered a 2 hour long low budget YouTube sketch.

Why Age Verification cannot work even for its intended use?

👁 26 💬 3


Short answer People are stupid. But seriously, even though we have a lot of talk about why Age Verification laws are bad ( for human rights ) and how we can fight against them ( EFF just made a comprehensive guide on the issue ) nobody seems to realize the underlying logical fallacy, or multitudes of them, that even brought us to this point to begin with.

Christmas is all about spreading joy and happiness to all. Sometimes the festivities pierce your heart, other times you feel as about die from loneliness. The 3 movies reviewed here feature a wide spectrum of emotions. At the end, all end on a happy note.

The Fractal of Consent

"Consent" is a word thrown around willy-nilly these days. And yet it feels like people don't really understand it. Some assume one thing while there is a different thing. Some assume another thing, while there is the one thing. And so on and so forth. Consent forms on websites and inside of apps. Sexual Consent. What the fuck is consent? Is it even real?

The Paradox of Tolerance is Real, Look at Israel

👁 16 💬 3


People like to pretend that everything is simple. That every problem has a straight forward, easy solution. That the paradox of tolerance is not real, because you could simply look at it a bit differently and it magically disappears, or something. People claim a soothing claim that all you need to do to make the paradox go away is to think of it as a "social contract". If you are not willing to tolerate, you are not tolerated. But I happened to live in Israel...

June and John is Luc being Besson with a smartphone

It was nice to take a short break from the grind of trying to make CGI stuff all day long and watch a movie. And who could be a better film-maker to casually enjoy, but Luc Besson, who after all these reviews I did of his films, I start to feel like I understand, similarly to how a therapist might understand his client? His 2025 low budget film June and John is undeniably Luc Besson, even if the fact that the film was largely shot on a smartphone makes it look kind of weird and slightly amateurish.

Wait, AI caused the October 7 attack?

👁 21 💬 1


Everybody inside of Israel was shocked on October 7 2023, because nobody... NOBODY expected something on this scale to happen. Mossad and Shin Bet ( Israeli Intelligence Agencies ) are some of the best in the world. And the military is some of the most advanced. And yet it still happened regardless of all these things. What the hell went wrong? Well the official reason sounds something like "There was an intelligence error". But if you dig a little deeper, you start to realize that it is not as simple as you think. And it might be the first true example of a lot of people losing their lives to skynet.

It is far too easy to drown in the flow of information we have to endure. Most with to take a break from it by rejecting it all together. I say, one ought to train themselves by entertaining to a slow dance. It can be a book, or... a movie. One of such movies is Angel's Egg
