You’ll notice that new developments in generative AI are always accompanied by new ways of depicting women without their consent—undermining their autonomy and harassing them—almost like it’s a pillar of the technology and its evolution

Also sounds like Bigelow doesn’t really get the whole “art should comfort the disturbed and disturb the comfortable” thing

There's a straight line from Kathryn Bigelow to Taylor Sheridan and I'm ultra-ambivalent about it.

the point of this movie is so evil the fact that it is inspired by rodney king riots and bigelow says "i had to make this movie to show that the system never fails!"

sorry cool i will make a video about this b/c i havent slept and kathryn bigelow caused me trauma with this
also
this review

hrrrrrrrrmmmmmmmmmmm. i think kathryn bigelow is a great technical director and the pov camera stuff in this movie is incredible. i think it’s a good thriller and a fantastic idea and i wish it was more of a hit. i even think i really like the script. i just don’t think i like kathryn bigelow’s work. i wish she weren’t so fascinated with depicting grotesque, militarized violence against the marginalized, especially people of color, and if you’re gonna try and “that’s the point”-me you can kick rocks. i don’t like it! have watched plenty of other filmmakers follow similar threads without feeling my stomach sink or sensing a perverse sort of a fascination in the violence like a child magnifying ants in the sun. aside from that, i think the final scene of this movie with the cops is… bad? both from a sociological standpoint and a narrative one. also the editing on the confession scene made me want to scream, what’s going on there. wonder how many times bradley cooper has had to clarify he’s not in this movie.

It's about time Strange Days finally begins getting the retrospective love and respect it deserves. To me, it's the best pre-Matrix cyberpunk film other than Blade Runner and Robocop, and still better than most cyberpunk films made since.

30 years ago, Katherine Bigelow made a sci-fi flop that changed her career for the better

Strange Days is a noir-soaked science-fiction thriller set against a backdrop of racial tension, police brutality, sexual assault, and disruptive tech

that's the entire film also her career should've been ruined she's evil

I dunno, "there's a tape of the cops that could bring down everything" feels a little dated.

But Strange Days still whips, slaps and bangs.

It's been 22 days since Adelita Grijalva was elected by the people of Arizona's seventh congressional district to represent them in Congress.

Mike Johnson still refuses to swear her in. At what point will political reporters start calling this a constitutional crisis?

Certainly! That was my mistake. I didn't realize that the target I selected was an elementary school, not a self propelled artillery piece. The next missile target I select should be correct.
