Flack (2019)

If you’re going to do celeb culture then it better be hard-hitting satire, and Flack delivered.

Searching Amazon video, I saw Anna Paquin’s name, and I knew she’d be quite discerning about her next role. With so much sex, drugs, and bad behavior it’s a two-season long train crash, and I wish there was more.

These are the people fucking over our world, the paid liars whom the other paid liars go to when they fuck up. It should be depressing, but it’s damned funny and twisted at times. Some of the moments are so tense, it’s hard to believe it’s just a TV show about publicity.

What ties it all together, thematically, is the frailty of human nature. Everyone’s on a journey to screw up somewhere. That much shines through, and so many possibilities present themselves, for perpetrating and for redemption. It’s quite a good show, if you like that sort of thing.

The Expanse Has Concluded

(at Amazon Video)

At Season One I was hesitant. It did have a different aesthetic than later. The Blade Runner stylings annoyed me (even Blade Runner had moved on), but it left a cliffhanger. That cliff was pretty high.

So, the sci-fi people already will have seen it, but civilians I cannot say. This is a hell of a ride. At this point, I think it should be on a short list of the best stuff on TV, along with Westworld.

Story dragged slightly in the middle but then came on like big-screen blitzes. Wow. And emotional to boot. This is a 5 S-star series.

The world has been meticulously thought out, the physics and design of future crafts and living situations. Also the politics is quite advanced for the sheeptato crowd.

What more do you want to know?

Westworld Season Three

Anyone interested in hard scifi has to watch Westworld. It’s the biggest production that exists, as far as I know. They have now spanned the world and brought the future, and it’s one of the few actual mind-blowing projects.

The theme is freedom, what it means, what it doesn’t mean, and the struggle that is both real and vividly imagined, how they cross over. The term they used was “algorithmic determinism.”

My love has been professed for Evan Rachel Wood, and I just learned she’s a black belt in tae kwon do. Of course she is.

The show shot in Singapore, Spain, the west, and thirty years in the future. It’s bigger than life, and the story crackles because of Jonathan Nolan, Christopher’s brother who obsesses over the Inception mutli-threaded strings of plots. It quickly grows more complicated. It’s not like easy to follow linear stories. They are constantly asking the big questions.

It starts off slow-burn and building in complexity. By the end of the season, it’s massive in scale. I really don’t think that anyone who ended up here needs any more convincing.

Propaganda in Movies/TV (101)

If you haven’t read this before, it’s a primer on propaganda techniques and how they work.

Propaganda in the Cinema

Kingdom – Review

Set in ancient Korea, this gory war tale brings the zombies in a fresh way.

This was another series that should have appeared on my binge list. The story revolves around power and the monarchy. Ruthless, cunning, malevolent people create the plague deliberately.

The first-born prince slowly comes to understand the plot behind the madness. He is being squeezed out as illegitimate by the emperor’s new wife.

The zombies are fast and overwhelming. Setting it back when before computers helps to transport the audience to an alternative world where the questions seem larger than life. The playing field is more even, and the zombies are a serious threat. The rivalries in the imperial court play out in parallel with the ever-growing zombiepocalypse, and so it remains interesting.

“Creative Artists” or Creative Propaganda? CAA, UTA, Russiagaters & The Young Turks

 

One of the CAA-repped actress/propagandists on the below list is the one that Twitter intervened for to freeze THIS account (PolFilmBlog).

These are the malignant pustules all connected through CAA and shoveling the exact same neoliberal, warmongering bullshit, fighting against moral policies and non-interventionism.

This article is important:

Tulsi Gabbard Has Enemies In High Places

 

Clinton insiders use their Hollywood agencies to marshal their “entertainment” industry propagandists:

 The ceremony was attended by Bill and Hillary Clinton, Cory Booker, Elon Musk, Google CEO Eric Schmidt, Crown Prince Hussein of Jordan, and Facebook’s Sheryl Sandberg. Also, none other than Kamala Harris, who Kives donated $5,000 to, was supposed to attend but had to cancel according to THR’s sources. As a matter of fact, CAA employees were the 8th largest donor to Harris’ “Fearless for the People” leadership PAC, to the tune of $16,500 that year. CAA as a whole donated almost $479,000 to candidates and PACs in 2018, with Cory Booker, Kamala Harris, Beto O’Rourke, and Elizabeth Warren all getting donations of $11,000 or higher. Oh, and CAA represents all of Joe Biden’s interests.

 

And onto the “TALENT” at the Creative Artists Agency (CAA)…

• Jake Tapper
• Chris Cuomo
• Bill Maher

• Rob Reiner
• Whoopi Goldberg
• Alyssa Milano
• Ana Navarro
• Bette Midler
• Donna Brazile

• Jimmy Fallon
• Mark Cuban
• Joe Biden
• Seth Macfarlane
• Van Jones

 

[United Talent Agency] UTA is another firm much like CAA with the same function and goals, and years after he authored that email, Darnell Strom would leave CAA to head up the newly launched “Culture and Leadership Division” there. His role is described as working with clients who “want to expand their diverse businesses and cultural influence at the intersection of entertainment, politics, the arts, and thought leadership” enabling clients to “connect and create big, bold, brave ideas…across all mediums”. He also described UTA as a “creative hub” for leading voices, helping them “build businesses and find global audiences in unexpected places”.

• Ana Kasparian
• Ben Shapiro
• Cenk Uygur
• George Takei
• John Kasich
