the most generous, charitable reading of this that's even possible is still just the thing from Dune, about how the machines condition you to use other people like machines.

Leto scowled at Luyseyal, knowing he could only add to their confusion. 'I point out to you, Marcus Claire Luyseyal, a lesson from past over-machined societies which you appear not to have learned. The devices themselves condition the users to employ each other the way they employ machines.'

crazy that kurosawa can just throw these in and it works. like the rest of the three hour movie is also good, so it doesn't feel weird when he gives you the best shot you've seen all year.

A scene from Akira Kurosawa's Red Beard. A doctor turns from his desk to look at the girl behind him, who has sat up from her bed. Their bodies face opposite directions, and the girl is almost entirely in shadow, save for a round light on her eyes.

Josephine Siao in Fong Sai Yuk 2, eyes filled to the brim with tears, face drenched in sweat, and mouth twisted into an exaggerated pout. Someone off screen is narrating an extensive list of punishments, including getting turned into human pork buns, in response to a crime Josephine's character may or may not be guilty of.

every film should look at least as good as the inspector wears skirts 3, a movie that doesn't even have a wikipedia page

Three women are about to board a cruise ship. One is wearing a loose, low cut, light pink shirt with a matching headband, and looks distraught. Another is wearing a brown bikini top with big earrings and a scarf, and looks really excited. The third one is peeking in from behind the first two, looking slightly amused. A bright sky and and a beautfiul bay are visible behind them.

A swarm of people in suits and other fancy clothes surround a green baccarat table in multiple rows, each row leaning over the one in front. Everyone is hyped about the game, as there are some serious players fighting over big bets.

three men stand in a row against a bright blue sky. one is shorter, with a round face, thin mustache, circular sunglasses, and slicked back hair. another is tall, with big poofy hair and pilot style sunglasses. the third has long flowing hair, and a sharp jaw. his sunglasses are round at the bottom. the men are wearing bright green, bright yellow, and bright red jackets respectively, with matching ties to boot.

A man with white shoes, white pants, and a hideous shirt stands defiantly on a high railing. The subtitles read: "My girlfriend's a slut! I'm heartbroken! I wanna die!"

appropriate, since it's one that even verhoeven intially thought was too stupid

excerpt from an article:

"I remember very well. I was at the beach in the South of France on holiday and I got it there. I skim-read it and just threw it away. I thought it was terrible," Verhoeven smiles. "I thought it was completely ridiculous." The unimpressed auteur headed off for a dip and when he came back found his wife poring over the offending script. "I came back and pretty much said, 'Well, that's a piece of shit,' and she said, 'I think you're wrong. Read it again because there are many possibilities here for you to do something different and interesting.' And so then I decided to read it again more carefully."

A message you can find in the video game Cyberpunk 2077. It's titled "Greetings from Des Moines", and it says "Jump in the urinal and stand on your head. I'm the one that's alive. You're all dead."

Lyrics from Speechless Part 2 by Nas:

My guess is someone'll replace your soul /
A.l. is only here to replicate and control /
Imitatin' the original then craft them a mold /
Of the binary code, it's your patterns they stole /
This my tactical flow, the one they can't redesign /
You can redo the voice, but you can never read my mind, I'm- /
Was lost for words /

tank girl rocks

A man in a shirt and suspenders sits cross-legged on a futuristic metal table, holding a gun and a metal orb. It's some kind of evil lair, and as he asks "What the hell is that?", a guard in the background replies "Sounds like Cole Porter to me, sir."

The man sitting on the table, still holding his orb, points his gun at the guard and yells "End it!".
The guard replies "Yes, sir."
