Type 1: movies where there’s some loser that falls in love with a machine that also happens to personify a female figure (e.g: Her, Ex-Machina, Blade Runner, etc). It’s boring and weird. The robot always gets weirdly sexualized and violence gets incited upon it, either through the movie or the spectators who are sick enough to imagine committing violent, often sexual acts against it. But it’s supposed to be fine ‘cause it’s not a woman. Just a woman playing a robot who personifies a female-like figure 😒. Also, Wall-E will always be the superior version of these kinds of movies, and it’s not even a human.
Type 2: movies where a person has some disease and the whole movie is just them trying to overcome the disease only for them to die in the end. It’s boring. Even worse when it’s surrounding a romance plot. It comes off as fetishy to me 😭

I love these movies. They were both advertised to the public as fun, family blockbusters but they are actually just really long and upsetting. No family would enjoy either of these films.

good bad: repo the genetic opera. the actual movie is amazing and funny with a great soundtrack, but it is pretty strange and relatively low budget
bad good: the neon demon (this is a hot take). it tries too hard to be ‘art house’ horror and falls flat for me. just really boring

i hate to say it, but you have to watch all three to really understand how bonkers these movies truly are. from a recycled cast to a black and white movie with just the poop colored, every detail about this trilogy is absurd. i can’t in good faith really recommend watching any of these; every time i watched one of these movies with a partner we broke up shortly after. trigger warning for literally everything too. the writers really wanted to strike every nerve they could.
and im gonna be real. i could write essays digging into deeper meaning of these movies if i wanted to, but when it comes down to it, these movies are just fuckin gross and that’s what i love about them. they really “go there” every time and it makes for an uncomfortable and grimy viewing experience. whether that’s your thing or not really will make or break it.
2nd one is my fave, all more fun to watch with friends 🤍
