Book: Walden. Was so hyped to read it, had massive expectations due to it’s popularity and because it sounded awesome. Horrible book. I can’t even really put my finger on it, but to me it was just trivial, boring, uninspired rambling and it made me unreasonably angry. One of the very few books I’ve consciously not finished.
TV show: Big Bang Theory. The most milquetoast normie shit dressed up as nerdy and quirky. It’s not smart and the humor is atrocious. Bazoongy! xddddddddddd hahaha Shelbot did le random thing omg what a nerd, btw Batman xddddd Just hate everything about it. The fandom, the characters, everything.
Movie: Coldest Game. Just because I’ve seen it recently. Horrible pacing, horrible writing, horrible acting, horrible story. Absolute dogshit movie and on top of that it’s one of the most unabashed anti-communist piles of garbage I’ve seen in quite a while. Polish resistence guy literally calls a couple of Soviet soldiers fascists. The whole ‘dark ebil empire with the gray sky and grey buildings’ aesthetic dialed up to the max. Most cartoonishly evil Soviet antagonists. Fuck it.
Also Transformers. Literal US military propaganda with some fancy boom boom, garbage actors and the most nonsensical stories ever. Fucking sentient car robots from outer space…

They definitely do. I read an article about it some time ago, but can’t find it atm. They’ve funded hundreds of movies even just since 2000. Not sure about the actual monetary support, but just providing equipment really is an invaluable asset for someone making a movie with or about the military. Naturally the US military wouldn’t be keen on supporting projects critical of them, but more than keen supporting projects portraying them in a positive light.
On Godzilla - only watched the first, but yeah…same story as Transformers. Those two and superhero movies are definitely some of the more insidious ways they push that line. Like ok, Black Hawk Down is hurra military bs, that’s obvious. But eg Transformers is almost more vulgar and open with its “Yay US military” line, but so very thinly veiled by cool big car robot fight for kids.

I enjoy Transformers as a guilty pleasure, or I used to anyway. I like over the top and bombastic action.
Completely understandable. Used to too. Absolutely loved the first one when it first came out, probably watched it a dozen times for the (then) incredible CGI alone. I just made one mistake during some rewatch of the 2nd or 3rd at some point - stopped for a moment to think about what I was actually watching and that ruined it forever. The guilty pleasure factor was just gone.
I’ve been meaning to watch the Transformers animated series instead, but haven’t got around to them yet.
