Dumplings [餃子] (2004)

At what specific degree of dermal tautness does the patriarchal hegemony deem the face of a Woman of a Certain Age (read: anything over 24.5 years or something, I dunno) to be acceptable or even beautiful? The burden of beauty in the world of Dumplings and beyond falls on women. Nothing Mrs Li can do will draw the attention of her husband for more than a passing moment; he’s too busy fucking other, younger women. And yet she feels a nigh-addictive drive to pursue that standard which will maintain his attention. This fixation pushes her into the arms of a woman whose appearance belies her years, all thanks to one secret (doctors hate her!). Unlike other films of this stripe, the essential ingredient of Aunt Mei’s dumplings is revealed almost immediately. In not beating around the bush, the film both comments slyly on the One-child policy of Mainland China and draws sharp socio-political lines. Mrs Li is a victim of a sexist double-standard, but her position of wealth and privilege allows her to literally prey on those less fortunate. The teenager brought to Aunt Mei as a last resort dies as a direct result of her mother’s desperation, her father’s monstrosity, Mrs Li’s obsession, and Aunt Mei’s greed. An entire lower class family obliterated for a few moments of fishy beauty. Even beyond its concept, this is horror, after all, so the film leans into crunchy, amped-up Foley in all of the eating scenes, emphasizing the transgression.

If a mirror is a symbol of beauty associated with femininity, Dumplings makes a meal of the motif. Aunt Mei’s flat is littered with cameo mirrors, allowing for moments of doubling and self-reflection as Mrs Li hovers at the threshold of this path of transgression. After she makes her final commitment beyond the pale we see her in frame reflected with Aunt Mei, two women against the grain. At her nadir, Mrs Li is presented with another sort of reflection of herself, seeing a rebroadcast of herself as a young, blossoming television star just as she despairs at the side-effects of her latest treatment. In this moment, it’s possible to see someone as amoral but also to understand on some level why they’re doing what they do through the lens of horror. The final frames bring this arc to a poetic close, Mrs Li doubled by the blade of the cleaver she holds, ready to make the first cut of her next treatment.

A Guilty Conscience

A Guilty Conscience    [trailer]

After his negligence causes an innocent woman to go to jail, a lawyer and his colleagues work to clear her name.

It feels all very manipulative. First him being an arrogant prick, then letting him play the martyr, ripped apart by guilt, trying to redeem himself.

As for the story, only two years later, during the re-trial, they start to ask the mother questions what happend that night and examine the scene of the "murder". That doesn't make sense.

And as much as I share the sentiment that the rich are able to afford a better defense, the whole trial mainly feels like cheap populism, with the proceedings at times coming across as childish.

[blue-grama]

So @lugarn talked this up to me and was NOT wrong. An absolutely lovely film that feels so real and lived-in. It's visually gorgeous and there are so many moments that feel almost cheap to convey in words.

Not getting over this anytime soon.

Highly recommend!

The Game Awards debut game Catly looking a lot like AI Slop

So, what’s the innovative tech powering Catly‘s lofty promises? After noticing commonalities with AI generated art in the trailer, Digital Trends followed up with the Catly team to confirm if generative AI is being used to power the game, or if it was used in the production of its debut trailer. A PR representative said that the team wouldn’t be going into further detail until 2025, and similarly declined to share what game engine Catly is being built on yet. While that doesn’t confirm or deny anything about the project, it leaves some questions open as to why Catly is being marketed as technologically innovative, how it’s able to deliver entirely unique cats to all players, and how exactly an open-world game runs on Apple Watch.

Yeah, if you refuse to confirm or deny that your game is made w/ "generative AI" at this time then it definitely is.

Update 12/13: Prior to joining SuperAuthenti, it appears as though studio co-founder Kevin Yeung founded another Hong Kong-based gaming studio called TenthPlanet. In 2022, the studio revealed that it was working on two blockchain games. One of those was set to be Alien Meow, which GamesBeat called a “digital cat Metaverse.” The description of the project given in the article features some of the same talking points advertised in Catly, including highly detailed felines and an open world of sorts. That game was explicitly advertised as a web3 project where players would generate in-game value from cat breeding. It’s unclear if the game ever launched.

Is the AI slop also going to involve "blockchain" bullshit? Or are they just trying to launder that project as a non-nft game with a new company while using the new scummy technology fad before this bubble pops too?

I'm definitely not getting this game either way. There are plenty of cat games out there right now made by actual artists I'd much rather support.
