Finding a good show without agenda is becoming more and more difficult :-(
Dead Ringer (1964)
I can't believe nobody has said it.
For what we know, they didn't grow much more.
This is not being primitive

Savages didn't wear a flowerpot in the head. They were primitive, not stupid.
And those clothes don't look primitive. They look like modern clothes found in a dumpster. Primitive clothes had a much simpler cut.
I'm tired of unnecessary and overused CGI hiding lazy writing and too much agenda.
I guess they tried to simulate the amazing one-liners you had during the first seasons of GoT, particularly the ones from Tirion Lannister.
I didn't work.
It's not that difficult.
You have a couple of guards that are taking her. The warder calls one of them and for a moment Galadriel is left alone with one of the guards. One vs one, she doesn't let the opportunity pass and takes him down. The other guard comes back quickly, but it's again one vs one and she takes the second guard down. It took me 10 seconds to think a more credible scene.
Taking three guards down at the same time and pushing them inside a cell? That's ridiculous. C'mon, even one vs one, she wouldn't be able to take them down, but you can suspend disbelief if they hadn't made the scene feel so cartoonish and absurd.
Same here. We're part of nature and should go back to nature.
I remember a story about the first Alien movie. The sticky stuff dropping from him were melted condoms.
They've lost the know-how. There's a moment in the trailer that a cenobite looked like a plastic version of a Doctor Who's Cybermen (minute 1:10).
But the story can be nice. I remember the parts about Kirsty Cotton lost in the Labyrinth and the Leviathan, from the comics, and I really liked it. It seems the movie has used part of that material, which I think was written by Clive Barker himself (but I could be wrong). If the writers didn't destroy it (knock on wood), this could be a decent Halloween movie.
Biggest flaw is that the cenobites seem like guys in a plastic wear. It's too <i>clean</i>. It should be more messy, sticky, more bloody. This seems Hellraiser for children's TV time.
Besides that, it seems inspired by the comics, and there's some good material there. This could be a very nice surprise. I wish they've made a series instead.
And don't forget it only took her a couple of minutes to learn how to use the Force. And she was able to handle the Millennium Falcon better than Han Solo, and... that was Rey or Galadriel? It's getting hard to tell apart between Strong Independent Mary Sues, they all look like clones...
Writers need to have some freedom.
But there's some kind of contract between creators and public: you can make changes, but those changes shouldn't alter what people were and what they did. You can shape the details, but you should keep the core.
You wanna write a story about Leonardo da Vince and include some fictional lover or some fun conversations? Be my guest. You wanna transform him into some dumb sexist guy and introduce a fictional black woman as the real brain behind his inventions? That would be insulting.
Ed Harris, Denzel Washington, Gene Hackman, Brian Cranston, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Gary Oldman, Judy Dench, Robert Duvall, Guy Pierce, Charles Dance, of course. The list goes on and on. With very few exception (like Nolan), modern Hollywood seems to be unable to use those golden actors.
<blockquote>I recall people here celebrating because Hidden Figures, a film that focused on the efforts of three female black employees of NASA was going to bomb; because "everyone just knew only white people contributed to the space program".</blockquote>
These three black women were part of a project developed by 10,000 people, most of them white males. There was nothing special about these three women (in comparison with the other 9,997 people in this project) besides being female and black.
These three black women have had books, documentaries and even a movie. On the other hand, most of the remaining 9,997 ones don't even have a wikipedia article and their name if forgotten and vanished from history, but the movie called these three ones... "hidden figures" 😂
<blockquote>There is a strong intolerance to blacks in lead roles</blockquote>
The Little Mermaid. Villain? Ursula, played by a white actress.
The King Woman. Villain? Santo Ferreira, played by a white actor.
There's in an agenda and you can see how positive characters are often "diverse" while villains and negative characters keep being played by white people. The "systemic racism" excuse doesn't fly anymore.
And Sarah Connor was different. She took the responsibility of preparing John Connor to be a military leader and she was alone, nobody would believe her. Her ultra-driven-ness had a motive. She would rather have a simple life, but she couldn't. Sarah Connor could be irritating, true, but you knew she was sacrificing herself to protect others. That was a well written character.
I can't say if this is trolling, or wokes really think the statue was made in metal "to be black".
That's the problem with extreme pseudo-religious views like wokism: it's difficult to tell apart between the parody and the real thing.
I don't think deepfake technology is prepare to process a movie yet.
But in one of two decades, deepfake will be common, and cheap. You'll be able to use whatever actor you want through deepfake. I wouldn't be surprised if current movies will be "dewoked" and re-released by then.
I did not!!!

I don't get this trend about casting little chicks in female warrior roles. You wanna cast Red Sonja, you need an actress like Famke Jamssen (back in the day).
