  • The music mogul thing definitely worries me about the main actual conflict of the first half of the story.

    Like with the shoe executive thing you have, if you accept the films terms, an actual dilemma between the immediate human good that saving his chaffeurs kid would do, and the fact that he's liquidated all his shit to prevent the shoe company from making shoes out of paper so they break in time for the next season, instead trying to provide a theoretically broader social good of providing quality shoes that people can rely on.

    But with a music mogul I can't really conceptualize what transforms the dilemma of "do I spend money on a peasants brat or hoard it like a big dragon?" to something that an audience can buy as a hard decision outside of personal financial trouble. Like is he gonna try and stop the company from making AI playlists?

  • It's a shame that the new Spike Lee remake of High and Low finished filming months before the Healthcare CEO shooting.

    Feels like doing an interpretation of that and going way more in depth on the subject of the death penalty would be the main interesting take that an American remake could have.

    Instead the new trailer just kind of looks like shitty aura and hype moments with little to no substance. Obviously a 1 minute trailer will be limited, but it kind of gives off the same red flags as his Oldboy remake. A more low key thriller reinterpreted as bombastic and flashy.

    So far it seems like the only real details out there on the new film is that the main character is a big name music CEO instead of a mid tier shoe company executive.

  • Not necessarily direct praxis but any kind of hand repair skill seems like just fundamentally good to learn and also a fun hobby, like hand sewing.

  • Damn thats crazy, the shit that might hurt the state is illegal(and therefore presumably justifiable to punish) while you get to do all the intellectual jerkoffs you want with no effect on anything?

    Real lucky you get to live in freedomland.
