Doctor X (1932)

"If you ask me, I think Dr. Xavier is using very unethical methods."

"Necessity has no ethics, sir."

#doctor x #1932 #american cinema #pre code film #horror film #michael curtiz #robert tasker #earl baldwin #howard warren comstock #allen c. miller #lionel atwill #fay wray #lee tracy #preston foster #john wray #harry beresford #arthur edmund carewe #leila bennett #robert warwick #george rosener #willard robertson #solid good time pre code horror (and another off the Rocky Horror list; actually this could be the last i had to see?) (also contrary to #the lyrics of Science Fiction/Double Feature‚ at no point does the titular Dr build 'a creature') but yeah anywa #anyway*‚ this was one of a very few films made with a pioneering two tone technicolor process that was quickly abandoned in the face of #public apathy; once considered a lost film‚ that version was found in the 80s and is now happily available in a beautiful restoration and i #gotta say it looks absolutely phenomenal‚ full of deep‚ ominous greens and purples. the plot is some hokum about a string of murders #possibly involving the good Dr (an as always impeccable Atwill‚ at the beginning of his all too brief run as a star) and his rogues gallery #of weirdy scientific associates. it's par for the course for early horror cinema‚ complete with mildly exasperating comic foil hero (but by #far not the worst example of the type) and some rather risqué dialogue that absolutely wouldn't have got past the code a few years on #could have done with more focus on the horror and less on the funny business but so it goes and at least the laboratory stuff looks amazing

Robocop (1987). In a dystopic and crime-ridden Detroit, a terminally wounded cop returns to the force as a powerful cyborg haunted by submerged memories.

This is a) so much better than I was expecting, and also b) so much better than it has any right to be? Sure, it's partly copaganda, but it's also a pretty scathing indictment of corruption in the police force and how capitalistic interests inherently treat people as disposable. Plus! It's a fun sci-fi movie! Plus the VFX are pretty darn sick. 7/10.

I finally watched The Creator and holy shit why didn’t any of you tell me it was going to be that beautiful

#this movie was literally made for me #i��m a ml engineer #I research tech comms & censorship in asia and la #vietnamese language vietnamese people!!!! Thaii!! nepalese!! desi!!!#*cries* god i love being asian #Asians banding together to kill colonizing Americans ilysm #gareth edwards forever the movie maker of all time #we are going to gif the shit out of this #once I find out how to #the creator #this is the dream science fiction was made for #science fiction is not for taking from other cultures and putting white westerners in its place even when that's how it's been.#it's for telling a grave and distant future that is not so distant to deliberately expand your view of how the world works #INCLUDING outside the west and the united states #reclaiming the genre to the very culture that inspired it #And by not only showing the overpillaged overcolonized overpoached focus on southeast asia but also all of asia as a united front.#Imperialism is supported by xenophobia and racism so how else do you tell that story without casting nonwhite races & diverse nationalities #the movie said you just fucking can't!#and its apparently not even that hard with the film coming in at $80M to make (blue beetle cost $104M for comparison that's insane)#and to say 'American' so clearly and so many times oh is so *chefs kiss*#there's flaws but idgaf because they are insignificant compared to the story and themes that are so clearly and respectfully carried out #It's completely okay if you didn't know anything about southeast asia or asia in general #but when watching the movie don't you just understand that imperialism war violence are inherent evils #NOT because (a) other cultures are nice to look at and you can borrow it like through clothes dances food songs religion #(b) that we are pretty advanced and such intelligence shouldn't go to waste and perhaps be put to work #or (c) any other rationalized benefit for imperialists to put a price on a people or life #but by the simple fact that people are human and are hurting #and that the elusive concept of a soul and where we go when we die exist for everyone along with fears emotions and meaning surrounding it #it's about how we must protect these differences in meaning /because/ we are all the same
