Fleabag and the Dial of Patriarchy


Exactly how the leaks predicted. The bizarre grooming of an upper middle-class English woman comedian to replace a classic icon of masculine Americana. The most misconceived idea for a film, ever. I hear the ending makes him weak and pathetic. $300m budget too...

Sometimes I think vengeful old Hollywood is still real salty about these once young renegade filmmakers rolling in and destroying the old studio system. It seems to be their works more than any other that are targeted for humiliation and destruction.

It's Lucas and Spielberg's fault, tbh, for signing off their legacies to unimaginative hacks and corporate drones.

I mean, it was their right to sign their own films/IPs off, but I wish they had as much care for their legacy, as their fans do. Surely neither man needs the money.

Could it be any more predictably shit? After all that time in development, and this same old KK-laced dreck is what they went with. Beyond pathetic.

Also, the misplaced confidence to screen the film early reminds of when they announced a Rian Johnson trilogy before TLJ was released. These people are so detached from reality.

'Sexism' trigger warning: What does KK actually bring to the table? Didn't she basically hitch herself to the Spielberg and Lucas bandwagon by marring Frank Marshall?

Sorry, for my 'sexism' (what a 'naughty boy' I am), but I'm sorry, UNTIL women actually start making ORIGINAL films that people want to see, rather than parasitically feeding off the work of SUPERIOR creatives, why should 'fanboys' be obliged to show them any respect?

This is what the whole Bernie Bros thing was all about. LEFT-WING men RESENT corporate hacks (like Hillary Clinton and KK). If anything, that makes us MORE left-wing and MORE pro-art, than the NEOLIBERAL mediocrities who *supposedly* represent the modern 'left'.

Time for the left to say "FUCK YOU" to the politics of NEOLIBERAL and supposedly 'meritocratic' corporate 'feminism' and 'identitarianism' and become a solely ANTI-CORPORATE movement.

CORPORATIONS NOT 'WHITE MEN' are the REAL enemies of the left. Time for Gen Z to get their immature heads out of their fat asses and realise that. 😠👊🏿 STOP SIMPING FOR THE CORPS. And STOP feeding on JUNK CONTENT. It's no better for you than junk food.

Interview with her here

Caution, even the sight of her will probably induce vomiting.

I find her oddly charming and can't wait to see the things she says out of her mouth to Indy as they are on adventure.

reply

I can't wait to see her put the patriarchy, in the form of Indiana Jones, in its place!

I hear this movie has a lot of issues, but that alone will make it worth the price of admission.

reply

Why would you want to put an IP in its place?

Imagine if a man decided to spitefully fuck-up a well-regarded female IP just to mock/troll its female fandom? I'd regard that as a pretty shitty and pathetic thing to do, not to mention a sign of insecurity.
