I was in the mood to turn my brain off witch an action movie I hadn't seen before, so did just that.
I won't do a full review since I'm only 30 minutes in, but the movie is Ambulance, 2022; Jake Gyllenhaal, some black dude, and some hispanic chick.
It's competent enough so far, generally. It's not doing anything too fancy, but I appreciate that from an action movie. But the Modern Audiences™ nonsense is unavoidable. I wish I didn't notice this but, once you know, you know.
Every black person is competent and in a position of power. Every white person is some combination of psychopath, loser, or incompetent. There's only been one woman in focus so far, but she's - no kidding - "the best paramedic in the city," and extremely competent. Hobbled with some newbie white dweeb...who's probably going to die or otherwise get damseled, at a guess.
Gyllenhaal and Black Dude are brothers. Black Dude was adopted by, wait for it, Gyllenhaal's psychotic criminal father. Black Dude is a patriotic veteran who's trying to get his life together, while his white brother is a criminal who drags him into shit. Gyllenhaal's criminal crew are, I believe, all white...and some of the most ridiculously incompetent or insane people around. Hilariously, they're also a very diverse set of whites for some reason; you have I believe an Italian, Irishman, and some sandal-wearing hippy hacker or something. It's bizarre.
It's all so tiresome.
I watch only anime and old shows for the most part now. Play only indie games, might get a PS5 to play Stellar Blade. Been to the theater only to see Godzilla x Kong. Don't even really bother to keep up with sports any more. Don't even go out much anymore. Name of the game nowadays.
Oh goodie Kienan, my Internet stalker gave me my customary one downvote. That will totally change my mind and not make me double down. No siree Bob.
It is weird. It's usually a very specific set of circumstances, often involving the Jews. But, for whatever reason, you do seem to have someone after specifically you, no matter what, no matter the context or comment. As you said, surely that will change your mind, and make you realize the error of your ways.
Same. And now I'm reminded why.
I hope there's a decent movie that grabs my attention at some point...I don't think I've been to a theater in almost a decade.
I noticed that my theater is part of a "Flashback Cinema" program that cycles an old classic (some not so old, but undeniably great) every week.
Personally, I hope one day it cycles Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1990).
I think all theater chains do that now.
