One of the best drama films of the 21st century

Easily deserved an Oscar and could’ve easily swept best picture at any of those fancy award shows that basically just pat the Hollywood star-system on the back.

It never got any simply because it did not belong to a mainstream-aligned studio and because behind the entire production and creation of this masterpiece is one of the actors, directors, and producers who was among the first to call out Hollywood’s Machiavellian way of manipulating things -and the first to openly stand up to the entire progressive left of Hollywood. MEL GIBSON, who to this day keeps surprising us with excellent work like this.

A tough to watch, but outstanding in quality.

Ruined by years of slow-cooked woke propaganda.

Ho ho hooooo, sh1t! And of course, it finally had to happen

The question is: how do you sum up the content of 10 seasons in a single comment?
Well, here we go!

Okay, first things first, I’m going to answer the core question of this site before anything else:
Is ADVENTURE TIME, a show aimed at kids, woke or not?

YES. ABSOLUTELY. IT’S SUPER WOKE.
It has every single element you’d expect from a biased, ill-intentioned show that deliberately weaponizes its narrative structure to push a political message. It checks all the boxes for diversity, equity, and forced egalitarianism.

Now then:
Is the show good quality? Well, that’s where the problem is. Yes and no. Why?

Because it was good at first, and then they started shoveling in tons of political propaganda.

To explain it in a simple way, I’ll quote a comment I read somewhere online:

“What started as fictional, otherworldly adventure got hijacked by a parasite—this world’s propaganda worming into a kids’ show. Wasn’t it more fun and heartfelt when it stayed pure, free from politics?”

The question left unanswered by the author (because the site was taken down by “the writer,” according to WordPress) we’ll never know for sure. But we can assume that if the original creator of Adventure Time stepped away from running his own creation starting around season 5, then control was handed over to people far more interested in moralizing and pushing a message than in actually entertaining.

I’m not saying the creator isn’t somewhat liberal or anything like that, but as far as the show itself goes, there was no initial intention to “educate” kids—just to entertain them.

The thing is, this is a common trait of studios tied to networks like Cartoon Network and Nickelodeon, and unfortunately, due to exclusivity contracts, we’ll probably never know the full story.

What I can say is this: if for any reason one of your kids gets curious about this show, recommend an anime instead, buy them a new toy, or get them a video game. Anything is better than this mishmash of political propaganda that was once genuinely entertaining.

Without further ado, I’ll leave you with a reflection from an article written by Isaac Young a couple of years ago:

Much like the first movie there is so much wasted potential here. The first half started out pretty good with decent writing and I thought
it might be an improvement and the director is getting better. Unfortunately the second half throws it out the window and takes a nosedive. The story is basic and the acting is all over the place, some of it is pretty good while others are embarrassingly bad. I don't really know if
I would call it woke or not, there is a lot of diversity casting but it all sort of makes sense within the location and story. The exception might
be the female poc detective casting and her bad acting. The action scenes are decent if uninspired and nothing you haven't seen before. The villain is one of the weakest most ineffectual threats you will see in an action movie and the writing in the second half in particular is abysmal. Spoilers follow.....The dialog and interaction at the hospital is laughably bad and this is another major hospital with no other staff or security other than the 3 characters in the story. There is absolutely zero reason or point in killing the nurse, it makes no sense. If you know the Mexican cartel is after you do you go to the shadiest back alley Mexican restaurant you can find for a meeting? The slow flashbacks of him and his wife talking to each other serves no purpose other
than to pad out the already short runtime and slow the movie down to a crawl. There is an accurate representation of the typical lying propaganda media calling him a white supremacist racist who's randomly killing minorities and they conveniently have the actual camera footage shot that was used in the actual movie of a truck exploding. Couldn't even be bothered to shoot a separate angle and call it cell phone footage. Let's talk about the ridiculous villain who's
supposed to be this cartel crime boss that everyone is afraid of and so terrifying. Except he's not, at all. He spends the entire movie sitting in a dark room in front of a wall of computer screens without a shirt on threatening people on cell phones with a cheap Walmart voice changer and they all do whatever he says and are scared of him. Let's forget that he never actually follows through on any of his threats, or really does anything for that matter. My 4lb Chihuahua is more threatening
than this clown. He finally crawls out of his parents basement at the end of the movie and perfectly snipes a handgun on the ground spinning it into a drain grate in 1 shot but than can't hit 2 people out in the open with over a dozen rounds. He then just blind fires like an idiot into a house while they hide behind a cheap Chinese dresser that rifle could of shredded through like confetti. He than comes bumbling into the house only to get instantly disarmed by a snow globe (that hurts just writing that sentence) and then dispatched without a fight. This is another one of those movies you watch only if your bored or as background noise. Like the first one it's somewhat watchable I guess as I made it all the way through but just barely.

Prescient, as they say, but a bit long and melancholy

It's hard to tell if Romy Schneider was past her prime in Death Watch or not since I adore her and she holds up well in this film. And the film has a pretty fine cast all around, it's just that the story and, I think, character development could have been so much more.

Compared to modern films, Death Watch is heads and tails above anything today, but it really is depressing. These characters have layers, for sure, but they're overshadowed by the dreary atmosphere and oftentimes off-putting story.

Of course, there's nothing woke at all in this film, so I recommend watching it on an early Saturday morning, maybe if you wake too early with a minor hangover. It's that kind of film to watch.

Some things you just can't unsee. I don't know really who this garbage is for. The animation is like a 90's to early 2000's cartoon network show. The voice acting is ok i guess, but this is what happens when you let a bunch of sex crazed immature middle schoolers who think they are funny write a movie script. Nobody else will think this is funny. It's just a bunch of the dirties raunchiest toilet humor jokes you can thing of done for maximum shock value. Everything revolves around sex jokes. This could of been funny if it explored how dogs actually might think or communicate but that's not what this is, it's very human centric mentality but they just animated dogs instead. I don't think I laughed once in the entire movie and I actually managed to finish this skid mark of a movie, I just kept watching not believing it kept getting worse. It's not just the jokes either there is a disturbing amount of animated animal sex scenes and animated dog balls and a-holes. Up until close to the end of the movie I actually wouldn't say there is anything really woke,
then the dogs find a back alley sex club, with a intersex Doberman bouncer. Said Doberman gives a speech to a small confused male dog
that is very clearly meant to push the gay/trans agenda then the 2 proceed to have a long graphic oral sex scene. The voice of the Doberman is of course a they/them rainbow mafia activist. There is also a scene after that where the main characters female love interest is about to breed with another male dog so he jumps into the middle and presents his ass so the male dog has sex with him instead in yet another very long graphic male on male dog sex scene. Given these 2 graphic unnecessary scenes and the sort of cutesy style animation that could attract kids to such a sexually graphic movie I'm maxing out the woke score.

Cringe comedy at it's worst. There is nothing funny in the 35 minutes I sat through. I actually felt embarrassed for the actors delivering these lines. The jokes are stale, corny and you can see most of them coming minutes before they are delivered. I don't know if the overacting and ham-fisted line delivery is directed to be that way or if the writing is just so bad it comes across as bad acting. There is far too much DEI in background characters for what is supposed to be a small redneck town. Even the token black character has an over the top redneck accent. The white mayor has a Philippine daughter who the white deputy is infatuated with. There is an entire conversation about being
tolerant of ethnic people, then they claim there are racists in the town. The black token makes a statement 'it's hard to be a black man around here.' I would guess the woke will get worse as it goes. All the signs are there.

A hidden gem this is not. A 1976 horror film that's average at best. The acting is not great although Brand gives an ok performance as
Judd the creepy hotel owner/killer. The story is nothing new, the kills are fairly generic with about what you would expect from
a 70's indie horror as far as blood and gore goes, passable but that's about it. The croc looks pathetically fake as do the outdoor
scenes of the hotel. It looks like a badly lit stage shot, nothing looks real. There is a very young Robert Englund here but he doesn't
get much to do really. This may be ok if you are really bored or looking for some background entertainment but don't expect much out of it. Nothing woke here.

I didn't realize until about 30 minutes in this is actually a sequel. The main couple and killer are lesbian and there is some minor DEI casting choices. This is anything but horror, it's a crazy woman who kills social media influencers. The acting and writing is all pretty bad. She is the dumbest killer ever, she has half of her face covered in a huge birthmark and is anything but inconspicuous yet obviously follows people around in public acting suspicious. She takes her victims phones and posts to their accounts after killing them even using her own laptop. Her girlfriend at the beginning is immediately suspicious of her for no reason as she hasn't done anything at that point to cause her to be. The whole thing is so slow and boring with lots of melodrama. There is no suspense or tension in anything. The whole movie plays out like one of those bad lifetime channel thrillers. There is a scene with what I am assuming is from the first movie with a survivor being interviewed saying she's done all this before in Thailand and she witnessed it and saw her as well as have camera footage of her yet nobody believer her or is able to find this very unique looking individual. The kills are very few and even they are unoriginal and bland. I made it 45 boring ass minutes of this and decided to move on.

Another bad series. I decided to check this out even though I knew it was cancelled after 2 seasons. Supposedly a dark comedy horror fantasy series this fails at all of them. The acting is average, but all the characters are unlikable or annoying. Nobody acts or talks like these people do. The daughter who is supposed to be in high school is clearly played by an actress in her 20's. While I don't care or get offended by swearing in movies there is a point where it's just ridiculous and over the top distracting. There are so many F bombs as well as everything else in this it's just silly. The wife randomly bangs the younger handyman in the kitchen and 3 months later the husband is acting like nothing big happened and is pretty much begging her to have sex with him. I mean
really, 3 months and they kind of treat it like a running joke around the house. The humor is weird and never funny, the so called 'horror' consists of jump scares and loud noises. The cinematography and camera angles look like a cheap CW show. Actually now that I think about it other then the language it's all very tame and
PG-13. I made it through 2 episodes and that was enough. It may get more woke as it goes on but in that time the only woke I really saw was maybe some DEI in secondary characters, the cuck husband and the next door neighbors are Asian and the daughter immediately goes after the Asian son. I'm actually surprised this made it a second season before getting dumped.

The Day the Earth Stood Still is one of the classic science fiction films of all time. Reviewers have said that in a time of men in monster suits and close-ups of oversized spiders, this film stands out and I agree.

The main flaw I've always felt is that the people of Earth are so dimwitted, arrogant and self-centered that they utterly disregard
Klaatu and Gort, even after they're told Earth will be zapped into oblivion. It somewhat annoys the viewer, but if we take a step back, nothing has really changed in modern times.

And, no. I haven't even watched the remake. What a disgrace. I wonder if they packed it full of woke ideology, though.

The other review here is pretty much spot on. 1970's dark comedy that plays a bit like a bunch of skits edited together into a full
length movie. There are some great one liners and laugh out loud moments mixed in with some darker more serious stuff. The acting is
pretty good and it is definitely politically incorrect by today's standards but it holds up pretty well and is worth a watch. It's not really woke even though racism and feminist rights are a theme, it's accurate to the time period and not in a preachy in your face way. For me it's somewhere between a 3.5 and a 4 so I rounded up for this one to a 4. If you like older movies not afraid to push the boundaries on dark humor maybe give this one a shot.

Nothing woke. Listed as a comedy, drama, action, it's more comedy than anything though there is some well done action. Good acting all around and the comedy is pretty funny in a sort of 90's buddy cop style movie but with hitmen instead. Older hitman is hiding for botching a job and looking to retire but has to teach his bosses bumbling son how to be a man and prepare to take over the family business by taking him on jobs. The writing is pretty good and the two leads work well together. The comedy only occasionally goes into the absurd and the weakest parts of the movie are the weird larping scenes. Those are few and easy to get past. Overall a good watch if you like buddy cop style action comedies.
