Gal Gadot does not deserve to be Wonder Woman. She let me down. Her true colors are exposed. She is a terrorist villain and not a hero.

2024 Oscars Best Live Action Short Predictions

Many filmmakers who helm shorts and other independent films don’t like it when established auteurs and artists come into their space in the shorts categories.

That’s why big names like Wes Anderson (“The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar”), Pedro Almodóvar (“Strange Way of Life”), Alfonso Cuarón (“The Shepherd”) and David Oyelowo (“The After”) aren’t as guaranteed as many may think, but with three, there’s more in the mix than in previous years.

After getting passed over for “The Human Voice” (2020) with Tilda Swinton, Almodóvar returns with a pair of beloved leading men — Ethan Hawke and Pedro Pascal in his gay western. Referencing Westerns such as Jane Campion’s “The Power of the Dog” as a source of inspiration, the auteur puts his signature imagery on display and, with the backing of Sony Pictures Classics, should be able to fit into the lineup.

Aren't Pedro Pascal and Ethan Hawke LUCKY, if not that popular? They're being submitted in the Short Films category for doing a RIP OFF of The Power of The Dog, for which A list actor, Benedict Cumberbatch was publicly castrated he did so. Hollywood hypocrisy, at its finest.

"Miami QAnon singer and Proud Boy associate Jimmy Levy is very convinced the national emergency alert test today will beam 5G radiation poisoning into everyone.

In case the zombies come out he’s meeting up at 1pm in the lobby of @margaritaville @mville_hbr in Hollywood. 🤡"

Yeaaaah and it's also interesting that none of the supposedly OFMD people who are super keen to cancel Taika for signing that thing are saying a peep about Con O'Neill who did the same. Like tell me you don't actually care about taking a moral stance based on the contents of the letter but are actually just looking for an excuse to cancel the Jewish Maori guy. I'm not gonna say you have to list every single name involved every single time you criticize someone for it, but there's a real obvious double standard being applied here when you're picking out one guy to complain really hard about while not making a peep about the other guy who did the same thing and is in the same fucking show.

literally not surprised in the slightest

whats the Point of an institution that has constantly punished people for calling out genocide and imperialism recognizing a work of art about genocide and imperialism, right now as they deny another one?

[depressedmonster99]

Inspires Islamophobia then criticizes Anti-Semitism. This guy has range. A versatile scumbag.

His mother was a Palestinian Jew. So not only a hypocrite but also a traitor.

Remember to boycott the whole western film industry. Except which are talking about Palestine and Palestinian from the very beginning. Which is very low so it won't be problem for us to create a dent in their profit if we boycott them collectively.

I don't like Jodie Foster. She's decided to let her true personality show and it is something quite brittle to behold. I'll remind people she happily has her ass in The Mauritanian, which was full of depictions of torture, starring an A List actor, that we all now know has been put through actual torture from both COS and the Hollywood Gay Mafia. It was set at Quantanamo Bay, and one of the A lister's tormentors, David Birkin, had military access. Fuck this bitch. I'm sure she enjoyed every bit of watching him suffer. Also not watching True Detective because it looks like they've gone and Queered that, too. If you're wondering at the extreme hubris going on, currently, in Hollywood, it's because the rich never had to worry about the same rules that everyday people and that includes everyday LGB had to.

If I have to be more blunt, I will:

SILENCE OF THE LAMBS WAS PRE-PROGRAMMING. DO WE OR DO WE NOT, CURRENTLY HAVE TRANS IDENTIFYING MALES, TRYING TO DESTROY WOMEN?

sitting in my room for a half hour thinking about how if we lived in a better world Ada Wong would be the Ilsa Faust of Resident Evil (primarily in how she's introduced in Rogue Nation), with a dynamic to leon not unlike Fujiko Mine's and Lupin's in which they are both extremely competent and in situations in which they may have to work against and occasionally with each other on a mission, but ultimately are forced to stay apart and while they may be apart and even have different love interests from each other, ultimately still care deeply for one another. They are compelled to go after each other in part because it's so difficult and they are so often in circumstances in which they can't be with each other. The thrill of the chase and all that.

Ada being only tangentially related to the other character's stories because the world is simply larger than them and she has her own concerns and problems to deal with, and to have that be given any care or weight in a story, let alone focus. That she can be cunning and even manipulative but because she needs to and will still choose not to when the chips are down because she is genuinely caring--which I know none of that is new ground for her but I wish it was done in a more interesting way and *without leon at all*. She chooses to show mercy in a key point not because she's in love with that other character.

And also that she has more personality. I dig the subdued nature of her in 4r and her subtle sarcasm but it's just crumbs. I want her to be silly on occasion and say dumb jokes because she's alone like in 2r. I want her to shed a bit of that seriousness when she's on the clock because she's confident in herself as a professional and again has no one to put up a façade to.

It's honestly kinda embarrassing reading this back as I realize most of what I'm writing is not only already present in the games but incredibly tropey in and of itself, and wouldn't improve the character much. Dear god I think too much of my view of the character has been marred by shallow fanworks depicting her. I think if anything it's a sign that:

I'm a shit writer and need to do way more than watch movies and gesture vaguely at them to come up w a decent story or character (that being said as much as I prefer Fallout as a film, I stand by my earlier statement of Ilsa Faust being the ideal spy woman as she's depicted in Rogue Nation as she has a distinct set of goals and needs that are complex and developed largely tangentially to the protagonist's, at least initially).

It's going to take a completely new approach to her character to get something remotely interesting and that takes advantage of her potential.

For as mired in tropes as she and every other character and story in Resident Evil is, Ada could be far more memorable and enjoyable if only there was more care and effort to giver at least some interests and goals (perhaps even...characterization) on her own other than being a sexy love interest and potentially traitorous (as so many femme fatales already are).
