Sorry but this one made me laugh!
Chaplin did The Great Dictator when Hitler wasn’t not just alive but when America hadn’t still declared war to Germany! Pro-Nazis and Pacifists probably didn’t liked the actually very popular and beloved film because it’s clearly a pro-war film. Yes, it’s a comedy about a fascist government abusing Jews BEFORE the Holocaust was made public and widely accepted and it kinda invited Western nations to see the abuse and stopping Germany and Italy! (Of course, the horror was much bigger than what the film imagined). The only way Jojo Rabbit would be comparable is if it were about a short and bald ex KGB spy who misses the Soviet Union so much that decides to invade the old Soviet nations! Or even better, about a Chinese dictator who looks like Winnie the Pooh and sent Uyghurs to concentration camps but that probably would make him lose his Thor gig! And that’s why it would be genuinely daring!
I would say that South Park: Bigger, Longer and Uncut (Saddam Hussein as Satan’s gay lover), Team America (a singing Kim Jong-il) and The Interview (Sony Pictures actually suffered the consequences for made fun of North Korea government) aren’t so sophisticated like Chaplin’s The Great Dictator but they definitely were much more daring than Jojo Rabbit. Actually, there’s not comparison! He was making fun of a guy who died 70 years ago and who everyone agreed it was a very bad guy and the people he managed to offend with his “satirical” film weren’t the dead’s guy followers but his victims!

Which one is his girlfriend, Magda? I thought that was Jane Foster at the end (what's her face from the Star Wars prequels)? Do I have to watch this abomination again because that kind of sucked and I didn't notice Rita Ora anywhere. Maybe it will be OK? I don't know - Ragnarok was fun, but it was fun because of Loki and Valkyrie. I am ambivalent on Guardians of the Galaxy. I wrote "apparently" because I just read something on twitter about Rita Ora being there. I didn't pay much attention. I'm kind of sick of superheroes and I watched very few of the mcu movies. I don't care for the stories which are more or less the same. Well, I remember that during 2020 he posted on Instagram that he was on quarantine at some hotel with his daughters and with no wife. Then I saw the pictures of him with Rita Ora and Tessa Thompson, I imagine that it was on twitter. And that's all I know about his love life. But I kind of see him doing that and don't ask me why because I ovbiously don't know nothing about him, but lately I'm not liking him much. I think it has to do with his work and his posts. Re: movies. I like What we do in the Shadows, both the movie and the series (more the latter). I didn't like much Jojo Rabbit. I liked the end of it (the actual end scene, not that it had finished). I think they're overrated, his movies and Taika himself. |

In the comments there’s a guy saying the ones in the right look too bright and I am imagining him screaming and going blind when looking to not grayish photos!
I’m posting it this here because it’s not just the color grading or the brightness but also, like Magda said, the ugly cgi. One thing I have always hate about the very few Marvel movies I have watched it’s their ugly purple space. There are a few shots of it also in the DE trailer but yeah, the new Thor has more of those flat ugly looking green screen shots. The last Spider-Man movie, which was acclaimed by critics, looked horrible and it wasn’t a surprise when months later behind the scenes images with the most random everyday life scenes (a guy using his phone at a party or a reunion), were revealed to be CGI. The question is why they do that? I understand why Jane Campion added more cows to the cattle drive scene or more floors to some buildings but adding a handful of humans talking at a party? So bizarre! And worst of it, it didn’t looked good! You just lost your sense of amazement when it’s ugly.
I think Scott Derrickson did actually a good work with the CGI in the first Dr. Strange. Raimi is using some practical sets so that’s always a plus, especially for an old school filmmaker like him (and maybe an old school viewer like me!)

Me: What is that guy talking about with the brightness? Me: Oh, right, I have a blue light filter on all my devices. Takes filter off. Me: OMG, my eyes! (Just kidding) Wow! Still, what is he talking about? Too bright? They just look less blurry. |

First review I've seen (I'm not searching for them).
Continuing my problems with Taika, I hate Our Flag is Death stans. I have all words/phrases/hashtags related to it muted and also all the people I follow who posted about it (because pictures, fanart, etc). I hate mostly straight women playing with their gay pets.
Re the show I like it. But, it is too much in the nose. And when I started watching I have recently watched some shows from NZ which have -more or less- the same kind of humour.
The creator made another show which I liked called People of Earth. It was funny (and absolutely ridiculous).

It's only a few dozen reviews in and already has a lower score than multiverse of madness (was at 73 last i checked).

I haven't seen it yet, but that helmet on Jane is really really ugly.
Also, so many people talk about Taika and totally forget that Jemaine Clement is the better actor and writer.

He was SO good in Legion - I think that was the first time I’d seen him (tv series with Dan Stevens as lead, and a fantastic supporting cast including JC, Jean Smart and Aubrey Plaza) it was a trippy show, and JC was right there in the middle of the trippiness, but was incredibly moving and terrifying as the story progressed. |
