I've mentioned this before but not only is he resurrected so he can continue to work, but he's property now.

Also, Murphy's lack of agency due to this status was further exploited in the movie by scabbing a strike.

All this (satirically) suggests that, were death itself available as slavery and union-busting loophole, someone would exploit it given the chance.

I can forgive union busting when it's police. They have zero solidarity with the rest of the working class.

It's almost like there's a connection to be drawn here

That they're class traitors who serve the interests of capital?

Does ACAB apply to RoboCop?

Twice the capacity for violence, the same qualified immunity so... Yes.

Probably no, at least dude doesn't care about race, he apply police brutality the same for everyone.

[–] zarkanian@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 months ago

No, but he's also a fictional character.

Mickey 17 (2025) is a movie about just that

Good movie, lots of plot points they start but don't finish IMO. Also some things that go unexplained by the end of the movie. I'd say it's worth a rental or opening your sails...

I’ll give it a go this weekend

If you find the premise of the movie enticing, give it a go. Everybody's tastes are different, what if that random stranger is as wrong as half the critics?

I've often found highly rated media boring and low rated media entertaining. And the opposite of course. And in between, right down the middle - A real "meh"-fest. Those are the worst, not even bad or dumb enough to be entertaining. Like "The Core" (2003). It's so dumb, highly entertaining.

I read the book first which is better, but they did a good job with the movie, and I actually really like what they did with Mark Ruffalo's character.

The first half is quicker paced than the second half, but it's a fun movie.

Fuck The Critical Drinker.

Him saying a film is bad should be enough to go and watch it.

[–] Maven@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 months ago

He is a right wing nut job. His opinion on anything holds little weight.

I'd buy that for a dollar

[–] TopsickPilgrim@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

At least he liked his job.

Ok but hear me out, those are not the same DSLs.

LOL and true

If skynet isn't a thing by then, I sure am going to start it.

[–] Zanmato@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Yeah... I'm glad that I can quit a shitty job, at least!
