Rules for Movies & TV Discussion

  1. Any discussion of Disney properties should contain a (cw: imperialism) tag. If your post isn't tagged appropriately it will be removed.

  2. Anti-Bong Joon-ho trolling will result in an immediate ban from c/movies and submitted to the site administrators for review.

  3. On Star Trek Sunday only posts discussing how we might achieve space communism are permitted. Non-Star Trek related content will be removed and you will be temporarily banned until the following Sunday.

Here's a list of tons of leftist movies.

Some obvious examples

  • the holodeck gets a fatal software error and people are stuck in a classic novel
  • a shuttle breaks down and crashes into a habitable planet
  • the federation loses a space battle, but thankfully there's some space jungle (nebula, asteroid field, etc) to hide out in, thankfully within sub light distances

every alien looks like a human with a skin condition. no, you cant handwave this shit away with the forerunner/precursor/progenitor shit.

im gonna let you in on a little secret: most of those aliens were actually played by human beings with make-up on. very few sci-fi shows actually cast real aliens, and even then human beauty standards often get in the way of things

Can't have sexual tension with a spider race. Or we can, but people aren't ready.

My #2 reason why I love Farscape. They had a shoestring budget, but damn if they didn't try their best to make alien-looking aliens whenever they could.

Of course reason #1 is these two. If they liked my vibes from across the bar, I would probably lose the ability to talk around them and start sweating uncontrollably.
