Marvelous Miss Maisle is solid from om beginning to end. Not a minute, scene or note is wasted. The writers know how to pack every scene with as much energy and storytelling as possible. Just perfect.
I will give massive props to Riddley for taking a big risk and pushing into a new direction. I suspect massive meddling by the studios. Prometheus had a lot of interesting concepts that just never got a chance to be fleshed out fully. My guess Covenant was going to be the response to that but something happened between the two movies because Covenant is completely divorced thematically and story wise from Prometheus. I'm sorry Riddley never got a chance to live out this interesting new universe.
Thank you for sharing your experience. This clears up quite a bit for me and I'm a bit surprised with myself it wasn't obvious sooner. I think I'm just fascinated by societal norms about gender presentation and how it evolves over time. What you explained makes total sense to me.
It's real. Just because tech bros and magats align sometimes there is still a discrepancy between the two. At the end of the day, the Maga tech bros are just higher up the ladder from the general Maga folks. In other words: there's always bigger fish.
This is an interesting article but it's a little superficial. I wish it addressed where that internal gender originates from. It's something I've been trying to understand. We know gender dysphoria is real and transgender is something that needs to be addressed through presentation (I hope I'm saying this right). But doesn't that presentation ultimately conform to arbitrary societal norms on gender presentation?
I think that's what RS was trying to do with the franchise by taking it in a new direction. He's a risk taker and always wants to try something new so I applaud him for an least trying with Prometheus despite the flat execution. Oh well
This movie seems to get a lot of love for some reason. I understand the bar was set really low by Prometheus and Covenant but that's not an excuse.
Romulus is just a collection of greatest hits from all the previous movies. None of the beats were new or original. Not a single protagonist or element added to the story in a meaningful way. None of the main characters are memorable in the slightest (compare to the phenomenal characters in Alien or Aliens). It was just so...bland
Nothing wrong with metaphors.... Until they are so dull and ridiculous as if thought up by a sixth grader doing a lit assignment. Snowpiercer is that. That's all it is. There is nothing profound on insightful or interesting or new. That's all it is: the embodiment of a really dull metaphor. Just my opinion of course.
I like Darktable but found RawTherapee to be more usable. For me Darktable 4 was way too many clicks for what should be a one click - everywhere. But it is very powerful. Just the ui gave me headache
A writing credit doesn't mean much. She could have added two phrases here or there.
