Debunking Borat (2021)
Biased Far-left tripe. What happened to you, Sasha?
I've been a Borat fan since the 90s. Not anymore. This poor excuse for comedy is really just cringeworthy, obvious, heavily edited, left-wing political propaganda which is trying to suggest that anyone who doesn't agree with the far-left narrative are basically crazy conspiracy theorists like the two guys Borat lives with. These guys had some very odd opinions indeed, but they don't represent everybody that doesn't lean to the left. Maybe Borat should have lived with some Antifa members and gone to their rallies too to add some nuance. But that would be exposing the far-left for what it really is and Sasha obviously doesn't want to do that here. So he just exposes the far-right with zero nuance or tact. Cant believe the people giving this 10 out of 10 are unable to see this for what it really is. I used to be left leaning myself, but ever since the nuance disappeared and this sort of over-biased, politically charged crud started filling our screens, I can't say I'm left anymore. Hopefully this phase of political garbage filling our screens will be gone soon.
Army of the Dead (2021)
Awful
Makes Zack Snyder's Dawn of the Dead look like a masterpiece. This is another Netflix stinker which puts 'fun' over substance.
The Mandalorian: Chapter 16: The Rescue (2020)
Best so far... but with flawed CGI
Best episode by far, so far. Seeing Luke was great, but why oh why allow the flawed de-aging again? Like Moff Tarkin and Leia in Rouge One and Rise of Skywalker, it just takes you out of it with the uncanny-valleyness and the weird, unnatural movements. And this was Mark H playing Luke again wasn't it? Surely Disney can afford the tech that the deep fake guys are using on YouTube?! Michael Douglas' de-aging in Ant Man was better than this! Luke's reveal was such a pivotal moment that the CGi should have been better; it should have been perfect. It wasn't a bad job on the CGI, but for me, when you're bringing back one of the most iconic characters of all time, you make it bloody perfect or get Sebastian Stan in instead! I think they don't want to use deep fake tech in the industry as it's too good and they deem it dangerous for some reason. Like getting in bed with the devil or drinking out of the holy grail or something. Don't know how people can give something '10' on IMDB unless it's flawless. And this ain't. Apart from that, wow, what an episode! Oh and BIbFortuna was a bit crap, like a parody of himself: way too jovial. Make sure you hang on after the end credits to see the snakey-headed toss pot on Jabba's throne. Still good T.V and a good series, albeit a very flawed one. Star Wars should be flawless with Disney's resources. Love Favreu though. Rant over.
