LA Times "Movie" Critic: Terminator Dark Fate is Great Because There's Gender and Race Parity and They Speak Spanish and Because The Movie Hates Trump's Immigration Policy
This piece of shit, despite all the pandering to #Woke feminist/pro-trans movie critics, is just barley above the 65% "fresh" line on Rotten Tomatoes.
How low would it be if movie reviewers actually reviewed movies, rather than just reporting whether or not a movie flatters your pre-conceived political biases? Look at this positive review from this joker at the LA Times:Wammen are (fierce fingersnaps) more than their genitals! Except when feminists want to be nothing but their genitals. Don't try to understand it, Oppressor.
Like a lot of recent Hollywood franchise extensions, this one views the entertainment industry's ongoing push for gender parity and racial equity as less a restriction than an opportunity, a chance to reenergize an old formula with fresh ingredients. It's fun to watch Schwarzenegger play backup to three formidable women-- each one hailing from a different "Terminator" time frame, and one of them a Latina who represents the gravest possible threat to our fascist future. It's also refreshing to see the series engage in a bit of self-critique, establishing that Dani is powerful -- and interesting -- for reasons that go beyond what might someday issue forth from her womb.
In time, the action shifts to a train carrying Mexican sojourners toward the border with Texas, with a crucial stopover at a detention center where Grace pointedly identifies her fellow detainees as "prisoners" -- and then does precisely what a hero would do in that particular situation. I don't mean to oversell the political subversiveness of "Terminator: Dark Fate," whose real-world reference points are nothing if not calculated -- which doesn't, of course, make them any less meaningful or sincere. Sometimes it doesn’t take much to revitalize a dead intellectual property. Sometimes all it takes is a movie in which "Hasta la vista, baby" isn't the extent of the characters' Spanish.We're now saying "all it takes" to give a movie a positive rating is to have an actress speak Spanish?!? Wow. That's pretty much admitting the game right there, isn't it? So the Xerminator, also known as LGBT-1000, is exactly what you thought it was -- #Woke crap produced for an audience that doesn't like science fiction or action, but hates the idea that heterosexual men are enjoying something that they're "excluded" from. I imagine this review is based more on the actual movie than on virtue signalling to #Woke Twitter NPCs:
Despite being the sixth installment of a franchise that hasn't really been relevant since the collapse of the Soviet Union, Tim Miller's competent but coma-inducing "Terminator: Dark Fate" has no reason to feel this far past its expiration date. In a studio age of intellectual property where nostalgia and innovation are tugging us so hard in either direction that it doesn't seem to matter what happens right here, nothing this side of a "live-action" Disney remake could possibly be more "now" than an unsolicited $150 million sequel in which the present is literally reduced to a turf war between the past and the future. And "Dark Fate" does everything in its power to embrace the 2019 of it all; from its self-congratulatory emphasis on strong female characters and (far more graceful) focus on people of color, to its pandering fan service and soul-numbing parade of weightless special effects, this isn't just another mega-budget "requel" that nobody asked for, it's all of them.And even though it's overall very negative, that review still has to give Dark Fate #Woke points for Hispanic Reparations. Below, a couple of vids. First, Dave Cullen points out some curious repeated language from the #Woke critics trying to give this newest #Woke bomb a push, and then, Critical Drinker's old but still funny reviews of this plop's trailers.

In the first movie, she is wildly unprepared for the situation in which she is thrust but through sheer stubbornness pulls through.
The not really a joke about T2 is that the best special effect in the movie is Linda Hamilton's biceps. T2 shows the effort, and the brutal costs, to turning herself into the weapon she believes she needs to be.
Sarah Connor was *already* one of the strongest female characters in sci-fi.
This? This spits in the face of all of that.

"Hispanic Reparations."
Wait, I'm confused. The descendants of the Conquistadors need reparations now? Weren't they the ones committing the genocide?
About 70% of Hispanics are "mestizos" -- i.e. "mixed" descendants of both the conquerors (the European Conquistadors) and their rape victims, the conquered (central American tribes like Toltecs and Aztecs). They're oppressor and victims simultaneously. And of the remaining 30% (in Mexico, at least), approximately half are 100% Connquistador and the other half are 100% "Indio" (what we would call "Native American").
The very concept of "reparations" in Hispanic North America is an impossibility.

Read Gail Heriot's dissenting opinion to the so-called Civil Rights Commission that was railing about the horrible conditions in the detention centers -- without ever visiting one of the detention centers before writing this shit.
Heriot actually went to one of the centers, and she interviewed some detainees. Turns out that they were being treated so well that some of them said they'd be willing to stay there permanently. They had game rooms, and video rooms, and class rooms, and three hot meals a day. There were "free" (as in, paid for by stupid U.S. taxpayers) dental and medical clinics where they could stop in to get their teeth or whatever fixed (bet some poor Americans would like to have that luxury).
There was also a room where they could go to get new clothes. They get to choose six outfits for themselves, brand new, and again, all paid for courtesy of U.S. taxpayers.
But these poor, poor foreign "sojourners," on whom U.S. taxpayers are spending billions of dollars every year, providing for their every need so that they can then leave the detention centers (after their "free" lawyers have gotten them refugee status) and sign up for food stamps and welfare and Medicaid and all the other "free" shit that American taxpayers are paying out the wazoo for. Yeah, we should all feel sorry for them. Not for ourselves, and our $22 trillion in debt, and our yearly trillion-dollar deficits. We're just not doing enough for these poor mistreated migrants coming here by the millions to screw us over.
When is somebody going to make a movie about the real victims: U.S. taxpayers.

White...hey mexico was settled by sort of tan Eupoeans, let's bring them here. Fuck it bring in all of Africa.
Christian...yucky, I heart muslims
Males are bad, women are men. but gooder.
So, they celebrate things that were never here. Oh hispanics are traditionally under-represented? Well, that's because they didn't live here. Same thing with everyone else.
Are critics supposed to be informative or just something that's more ignored than Doonesbury?

The problem with being edgier than thou is you run out of ways to surprise much less entertain. If chick movies made big money Hollywood would have figured that out decades ago. They don't. Guys like action - chicks like watching chicks talk to chicks about chick stuff. Been this way forever.

T2 is a space opera but on Earth.
The only thing good about T3 was the ending and going through with blowing up the world.
I agree with this analysis. Terminator 1 works so well because its so cheap, they couldn't be fancy. T2 was more what Cameron wanted to do and still works because of the amazing spectacle, but wasn't as tight and enjoyable. 3 kinda dragged until the end when it was a perfect sci fi ending.

There are legal battles going on where the people who originated characters are suing to get full control of them outside of the studio.
The time around it is something like 35 years, so the 80s properties are being brought into court by the individuals who created them. Making more movies with those characters is one way the studios are trying to fight back, saying that they are actively using the properties instead of letting them languish.
It's unclear how successful these suits will be, but I'm hoping for their success. Getting IP into the hands of individuals instead of corporations feels like a move in the right direction for copyright.

A sequel can be horrid, but the one thing it absolutely cannot do is spit in the face of the source material.
Star Wars survived the prequels because it basically left the beloved characters untouched. Then Disney came along and said 'lol GF.'
The movies still made a ton of money, but apparently the new park areas are a disaster, so hopefully Disney is feeling some negative impact from their decisions.

are you sure that has to do with whether an IP is being used? I didn't get that sense. Based on what I know about the Friday the 13th dispute, whether the IP is in current use was immaterial; the law just says that someone can reclaim their copyright after 35 years.
There is something about keeping a TRADEMARK in use to show that it has not been abandoned (that is why Marvel was able to steal the unused "Captain Marvel" trademark, which was originally Shazam's actual name and trademark), and why Marvel will always keep rebooting this POS, just to keep the name.
But I think that is a distinct thing from this 35-year copyright reclaiming thing.

Hilarious how Trump is all kissy face with the Kurdish militia leader Mazloum [some twatters sucking up today] - because of course it infuriates the Turks. This guy is not quite Osama/Zawahiri to Turkey, but close. Trump enclosed a note from him in his [also hilarious] letter to Erdogan - which pissed off the Ottomans pretty good.
Erdogan still slated to visit DC in November.
Have to wonder if this is strategery, or just Don being Don and nobody informing him of the background. Can't imagine it's the latter. Either way, I love it, and it's thigh-slapping funneh to any foreign policy types with a sense of humor, as is/will be the fury of the Turks and their Beltway champions.

From what I've read, there's still a whole lot of murkiness around the rules, so studios are making sure to spend money to keep the properties, especially if they can make the money back.

He went through the steps to reclaim his copyright. Current rights holder says that that reclaming power doesn't apply because he was always work-for-hire, and work-for-hires don't have this right. He says he sold it to them as an independent contractor (who would have the right).
Now, the killer in the first movie was actually Jason Vorhees' *mother*, not Jason Vorhees, but Jason Vorhees was *named,* so he's claiming he has the rights to that character.
Jason also showed up in a dream sequence as a stinger ending but I don't know if that was in the original script or added later.

Good lord, was he caught with a live boy or a dead hooker? The last complaint you can make about the 'stros is that they make poor personnel decisions.
Yankees fired their manager too, going back to Girardi. I kinda support that though, the young guy the hired wasn't ready and made some bad decisions.
Hudson bitched a lot but he pulled his weight and went down swinging. Gorman was a Peter Principle officer in way the hell over his head, but sacked up and did what he had to do at the end.
Yeah, every one of those marines was admirable in their own way, in the end.

They changed so much of that opening sequence in Genysis, it was probably just easier to recreate it completely than to insert new people into old footage. It also probably wouldn't have matched the rest of the film visually.
Of course, it was Alan Taylor's swan song to the motion picture. After Thor The Dark World, and then Genysis, he was going to be nothing more than a television director for the rest of his life.

The problem I saw with the previews to this wasn't grrl power (I mean,
there's always been strong women in the franchise), it was that it looks
derivative and dull. And the new super terminator looks ridiculous,
very complex, but pointlessly so. Like they couldn't figure out if she
was supposed to be liquid or made of machinery, so they did both.
Looks like they couldn't figure out if the character was supposed to be male or female either. So they did both.
Yeah. No.

she had to deal with the guidance and loss of 1 and 2 in order to overcome 3.
in T2, she and arnold were there to buddy buddy with the kid as they dealt with the t1000. But the kid was the morals and brains, arnold the muscle and naive person being learned to be human, and linda was the reese of the movie, someone who had to be calmed down and deal with the terror of what might be.

The first Black Widow thing in Iron Man 2. She was a spy, and had loads of weapons and gadgets that made her cool. She used her skill, and all that stuff, to win. best part of the movie.
Note how during the marvel movies we got less and less of this. She just became a brawler, like the rest. A weak one, who everyone pretended was their equal. By age of ultron...well, what was the point of her? Can she really take out an army of robots? In Winter soldier we got some of that back, but in the end..she has to stand toe to toe with the guys, and not be distinctive and have different skills. The ruination of many a woman fronted movie IMHO. They are different, and show how that difference can be made to work to their advantage. That is the best part.
And don't be afraid to show flaws, or the woman overcoming any of them. Sheesh.
Even Gamora in GOTG - she's a great fighter - with a sword or gun. She's also got...issues. With Peter. With Thanos, her family, Nebula. Intimacy issues. Can't dance. great stuff - they all mark her as interesting.
Woke batman - her only flaw is caring just to damn much. Woke Terminator..her only flaw is...well...I dunno. Bad posture?

Black Widow was criminally underused. She had exactly one good scene and one decent one, both in the first Avengers movies (yes, yes, she's hawt in Iron Man, but that wasn't a great character moment). Her interrogation while being tied up, and her interrogation of Loki. That was her at her best.
But they didn't seem to even know what the hell to do with her after that, and she spent most of Age of Ultron sitting in a cage doing nothing.

I do the high-deductible plan at work, but you should know approximately what your normal medical service consumption is to figure out what it will cost you, and pay particular attention to coinsurance rates and out-of-pocket maximum - in-network and out - for the HDHP.
If you are a modest or near-zero consumer of medical services, the HDHP is often the way to go but if you do get sick or injured, it's going to cost you. I think the HDHP is a lot closer to the idea of actual *insurance* as opposed to "medical cost-sharing" but whether it makes sense or not depends a lot on how much you use and what you can weather if something gets ugly during the year.
I have seen HDHPs with the minimum deductible to be considered "high deductible" - which isn't actually all that high - but with brutal coinsurance rates and five-figure out-of-pocket maximums. Read the fine print carefully. If you don't consume much in terms of medical services and could cut a check for the out-of-pocket maximum, then high-deductible plans often make sense. If you use a fair amount of medical services, you often end up coming out better with a traditional PPO-type plan once you compare co-pays and smaller deductibles along with higher premium verses the higher deductibles and lower premium.
Bust out the calculator and look at what you spent last year, compare it to an estimate of what you expect this year (e.g., are you having or plan to have a baby? Do you have anticipated but unknown surgeries?), and break it down by expected visits, co-pays, etc.
It's all a monumental pain in the ass that is in desperate need of reform.

Imagine a movie where (gasp!) there are BOTH a strong male AND a strong female character.
But, no. Binary twits that they are, one must diminish as the other advances. No point elevating both, as if to say they're -- what's the word I'm looking for? -- "equal"?

Anywho, that's what made the Angry Gal-Death Wish movie "Peppermint" -
so good.
Yeah, she's trained but they very very rarely have her trying to go toe to toe with some guy.
She's always using an equalizer like a knife or gun or sucker-punching with brass knucks.
Plus, the actress can act and does physical action well so the fight scene aren't a mess of shaky cam quick cuts and/or CGI.
So, go rent "Peppermint" instead -
BONUS! All the woke critics hated this movie cuz the villains are Mexican Drug Lords.

I liked Alita a lot, although the boyfriend/romance was kind of weak. It was about as good as you can get for taking an anime plot and feel and doing it live action. I took my dad to see it, and he really liked it, and was encouraged by the ending hinting at a sequel.
I'd love to see MORE anime converted to live action American films. Neat, unusual concepts, action, hit girls and no fucks given for PC culture. At least not yet...

I read the NY Post's version of this, and don't see what he did was so bad. "Thank God we got Osuna!"
OK, he finished a 75-game suspension for violating baseball's domestic violence policy - but he finished in July 2018, over a year ago.
And some reporterette - who IMO shouldn't be in the clubhouse in the first place - wore a purple bracelet recognizing domestic violence and often tweeted out the phone number for women's services when Osuna took the mound for the Astros last year. So what?
In my view HER actions were wildly unprofessional. You're there to report on baseball, honey, not to push your personal agenda.
What are the odds this same chick in other contexts talks about some malefactor having "paid his price to society?"

first 2 thor films sucked because, even the writers admit, paint by numbers, unispired super basic plots.
Thor Ragnorok at least showed why we should like the serious Thor we saw at times in infinity war. It's supposed to be fun being Thor.
As for movie ideas, Thor is 1500 years old, he could play with vikings for nerdsake. But i guess sony or whoever had budgeted only for an open lot in the desert plus some cgi for Thor 1.

I know a lot of people hate T3 because it changed the ending logic of T2. However, it was more of a variation on T2. You can change the specifics of the future, but maybe not the general direction. So, you can prevent a Judgement Day, but not a war with the machines. As Taylor said above, it would have been a good follow up movie or movies with the actual war and a realization that nothing is set. Humanity can lose.

Look the guy fucked up and half the universe died. He personally caused that, and feels responsible for it. So he's on a drinking and eating binge. Checking out of the world. Friends hate you, make fun of you. Feeling unworthy. Finally sees his mother and start the journey back.
End Game was a meditation on how people deal with the worst grief imaginable. People check out (Iron Man, and Thor), or focus on what is right in front of them (CA), or throw themselves into their work (BW, WM, and CM), get dark (hawkeye) or go on a self improvement binge (Hulk). It was a surprisingly realistic. Still a superhero flick, but there was more to it.
