I feel like Pacific Rim, Mad Max: Fury Road, and Dungeons and Dragons: Honor Among Thieves are kind of a perfect trifecta of action movies. They’re not necessarily Oscar material but they’re all great at being the kind of thing they are trying to be, they’re all entertaining but not afraid of being genuinely emotional, and they’re all generally not hampered by dumb sexist action movie nonsense because their main female characters have their own arcs, are not designed for the male gaze, and the main M/F relationships are platonic.
More things like this please!!
I see where you’re coming from here but Mad Max did very much Oscar material
That is totally fair! I remembered that it won a lot of appearance and sound awards (I actually think it should have won cinematography as well, it’s stunning). I should have worded that to make it clear that I meant that like, the plots of these movies are not the kind of prestige drama that you normally think of as “oscar bait.” They are unabashedly great genre action movies, which very much SHOULD be recognized more (I definitely want to see DNDHAT get recognition for its practical effects) but usually aren’t.
If we really want to fight against this puritanical culture that seems to be hell-bent on running sex workers off the internet and banning pornography wherever they can find it, you have a moral duty to post hole on main. Doesn’t have to be your own hole but you got to post it.
