Solaris (Tarkovsky, 1972). Easily one of the best movies I’ve ever seen. It’s available for free on YouTube with subtitles in English and a few other languages. Silent Running (Trumbull, 1972). This movie inspired the original set of Mystery Science Theater 3000. It’s not a masterpiece but it made me really emotional. The Fly (Neumann, 1958). A classic in sci-fi horror. There’s a 1986 remake by Cronenberg, but I can’t vouch for it as I haven’t seen that version yet. Asteroid City (Anderson, 2023). Very Wes Anderson. Made my eyes hurt when I saw it in the theater. 2001: A Space Odyssey (Kubrick, 1968). A visually stunning classic featuring evil robots. M3GAN (Johnstone, 2022). A horror story with a sci-fi premise. I like when robots get to be completely selfish.

Late Victorian Holocausts looks fascinating, thanks for bringing it up.

You’re right. I overreacted out of frustration, but it’s true that misogyny is not a necessary part of manhood, and that men can and should be educated out of it. We CAN hold them accountable, and we do need to, but I’m frustrated that it rarely happens. Most people seem to think that misogyny is not a big deal

How so? Misogyny is not inherent to being a man, but when men are surrounded by a culture that insists they’re better than women by virtue of being men, they come to believe it

Men actually believe that they feel emotions more deeply and genuinely than women do. There’s not a man alive who doesn’t think women are beneath him.

The main cast of Eternal Punishment is adults, and although it suffers from making Maya a silent protagonist when she was such a dynamic character in Innocent Sin, the themes of self-discovery remain very much intact. As a follow-up to Innocent Sin, where high schoolers make heavy sacrifices for the sake of the world, Eternal Punishment shifts the perspective to adults who think, “those are just kids, they shouldn’t have to deal with this.” (i like persona 2)
