Season 2 gets a makeover from 3rd wave feminist writers
I loved the first season, but in season two they must have hired a bunch of writers from Disney apparently to inject girl bosses galore and render all the powerful men secondary characters including Dan Chase! They could have renamed this show "The Young Daughter" because Shawkat was made the center of the first half of the season because apparently they needed her to be in the desert so they could keep her in robes to hide her pregnancy weight. This show has been ruined. I keep watching to see if they even try to pull out of the nose dive.
Update: I kept watching. The "writers" have decided to turn Angela into a terminator even with her mom-bod. Never mind that she was never in combat like where her father learned to kill. They just keep shoving her up viewer's asses expecting us to buy this BS plot divergence. This is nothing but a 3rd wave feminism narrative.
And Zoe is now in the spy loop. She's making spy moves and saving Dan Chase's life. They have merely flipped the script on all the white men who were running shit. Now only women and men of color can get anything done. Hollywood garbage. Can it get more woke?

Subtle masterpiece
Directed by Oshii, so, simultaneously a action-packed cyberpunk thriller, and a reflection on the human nature.
Same as the original manga, one could argue, but with less gratuitous nudity. No insult to the author, but sometimes lesbian orgies do distract from the flow of the narrative.
I'll admit that Oshii introduces non-gratuitous nudity (is clothing enough to make a (wo)man?), but hey, it's intellectualized, but it's OK.
Visuals are top notch, soundscape is fantastic, highly recommended.

Uninspired copy
Best part are purely visual, frame-for-frame copies of Oshii's animated movie.
Oshii uses nudity as a marker of psychological state; Johansson renounces leveraging her bountiful bosom and butts.
This should leave her acting talent apparent, but I seem to have missed it. Should have opted for 4k, I might have seen it.
Also, Johansson (and Binoche) add a discreet aura of girl-boss to their characters. Might be me, and maybe they just don't understand strength, and are thus unable to render a legitimately strong character.
Asbaek and Kitano (well, obviously) are solid in secondary roles.
The movie may not deserve of 0 by itself, but it's bad plagiarism, and the original exists. Watch the original.

More of the same, and it's a good thing
Well, this one adds a layer of self-serving politics (or are they?) butting heads with public safety and common-sense morality. It's delightfully ambiguous.
Visually more ambitious than the first movie, to its detriment : it does feel more dated.
Still, warmly recommended.

Don't be deceived by the art
It looks childish, but it aged well.
A techno-thriller, a subtle commentary on the clash of tradition and modernism ripping apart Japanese society, understated humour and giant robots.
And all this with Oshii at the helm.
Not everyone's cup of tea, but if it's yours, it's a strong brew.
Also, not for the kids. Nothing offensive, but it will probably bore them out of the room.

Good craft though not good art
Production's I.G. attempt to replicate the (financial) success they found with Ghost in the Shell.
It is well done, the production value is beyond reproach, the characters are decently deep, with somewhat adult motives, and it tackles (somewhat) interesting themes.
I personally found it lacking somewhat, missing that extra little spark. Akin to magazine models, theoretically beautiful but lacking charm.
Still worth a 4, though, but was inches away of being much more.

Welcome to the WIRED
I won't (and probably can't) spoil this one.
It's different, not for kids, slow, visually subdued, rather unsettling, and thematically all over the place, although somehow close to William Gibson.
It would probably appear retro-futuristic in a way, in our present day, present time, ahahaha.
It's a small (13 episodes) slice of Marmite-covered anime, which will be liked or detested.
There's no denying the music's smashing, though.

joker is destroyed to OWN THE CHUDS
multiple reviews for multiple source that i saw tell that the joker was completely destroyed in this movie ending up with him being gang raped and killed in the end.
the reason would be that people that are at Hollywood now-days don't like the people who identified themselves with joker in the first movie, so they decided to destroy the character i the hopes that people wont identify with him anymore.
i didn't watch and i wont watch this shit.

Typical wokeism.
Literally starts with bad man-hero woman. The first "case" is about a senator that had experiences with her secretary and other women 30 years ago, that still working for him. His wife visits a therapist after having sex with him, and the secretary pays the bill to the rapist instead of therapist.
Beth (the molested girl of first scene) is a "strong" annoying black "journalist" that is dumber than a rock and acts like a 15 yo intersectional alphabetic activist. Janice (the kidnapped and the hero woman of first scene) actually is a manipulative criminal psycopath ( Hare psycopathy checklist fits her perfectly). She causes all the drama by acting impulsively and thinking mistakenly that the Vicar or his son are paedos, and of course, she has to be a hero woman and go to tell the police immediately instead of calming down and listening any explanation.
Other aspects are the policewomen that visit the vicar, one is charcoal black an the other is literally bald, a stereotypical butch. Of course they do not trust a priest when he tells them that the paedo was other person, who committed suicide leaving a note. Ah, and one of the main protagonists that is in detah row is there... for brutally killing and beheading his wife! To sum up, a good narrative and story but there is a smell of rotting wokeism. Just breathe deep and accept it with ressignation.

Metioning all woke elements for anyone that is confuse about it
The movie is heavily influenced by feminism and by that i mean, all hetero male characters are depicted as either manipulative evil individuals or submissive incompetent males, the daughter( Jenna Ortega ) mentions a feminism icon(Marie Curle) multiple times, she also ends up with a "enchanted prince" as the "simple guy" is depicted a psychopath.
and to end things the 2 original ghost characters(Adam Maitland,Barbara Maitland) where removed since they represented a ideal family oriented couple(cant have this being showed around now-days).
basically if Jenna Ortega is in a movies or series expect to be feminism in it since she is a feminist activist that will do any that she can to spread the feminist message.

I love these films.
They're just so over the top in gore and silliness, who cannot love these films? Did I miss any woke? Maybe the blood splatter covered it up.
