I drink and I say things. I'm here to deliver reviews, breakdowns and analysis on modern entertainment media. Expect a healthy dose of sarcasm, biting criticism and low-functioning alcoholism.
See my second channel Critical Drinker Live for extra content and livestream uploads.
Yeah... Frank Herbert invented feudal future in his Dune with Emperor ruling the universe. Then Lucas copied it to Star Wars though without and underlying feudalism, now Snyder copied it from Lucas though at least visually (can't analyze deeper as not even going to watch Snyder's junk), he brought it back to feudalism.
it's also worth noting that the actress who plays the main character is in her FREAKING 40s! You can't be a badass action movie heroine when you're ANCIENT like that! Absolutely ridiculous. Granny shouldn't be fighting space battles, she should be in the kitchen smh
Of course Snyder put together a set of incongruous stuff. He can't even have a set of tattoos on himself that have any consistency. And if this bimbo can't hold her pistol any steadier than what we see, she would miss a guy 6 feet in front of her.
Somehow I never saw this one. Great review! I need to recapture my love of reading so I'll start your book series. Yep, I'm a Patreon member too. Cheers!
In the aftermath of the cinematic debacle of "Rebel Moon Part Two: The Scarg Giver," one cannot help but connect its inherent failures to the broader themes of cultural degradation in the West. This film is rightly criticized for its lack of originality, excessive reliance on clichés, and overall tedium, but it is symptomatic of a creative industry that has lost its way, succumbing to the same demoralization process that affects modern American society. Filmmakers should aim to create works that challenge the status quo, provoke discussion, and encourage resilience against the erosion of cultural and moral standards. This is not just about making 'better movies'; it's about recognizing the role of art and entertainment in shaping, reflecting, and potentially healing our culture.
This reminds me of the anime/manga *Kinnikuman* , characters there die almost as often as the characters in Dragon Balls but it's because of the deceased spirits go to a magical plain of existence known as the Chojin Graveyard where they'll be resurrected if the God there deemed it, in the 2011 revival the Chojin Graveyard is destroyed which brings back the irreversible effects of Death (with a very few exceptions).
This is exactly what a woman would do; kill innocent people including a child and spare the 'badboy' who treated her like trash cuz he´s kinda hot and maybe she can change him
omg. we all know for a FACT, that if Titanic came out today, Critical Drinker would absolutely tear it to shreds. i feel like im in a fever dream, him using TITANIC of all films to make a point... what is this channel?
This is why every time I would hear that fans wanted The Snyder Cut I would burst out laughing. Same goes for when Watchmen was advertised as being "from visionary director Zach Snyder" because for both 300 and Watchmen he just reproduced the shots from the graphic novels in super-slo-mo - but those weren't Snyder's "visions", they were those of Frank Miller and Dave Gibbons.
Another example of diegetic music in films is a good amount of the electronic music in the John Wick films. For example, the scenes in the Red Circle Club.
