neutral · AI labelView post →Keeping it Star Trek I think 6 is overrated (fun but too hamfisted with the Cold War stuff) and Generations is underrated (flawed but was the last trek movie to grapple with something resembling an idea)

neutral · AI labelView post →#nowwatching The Giant Claw (1957) Like a movie length Twilight Zone episode, a giant bird-like creature attacks America during the Cold War. Wonder if it's a metaphor for anything. A stand out classic of the 50's classic. #filmsky #horrorsky #moviesky
neutral · AI labelView post →The Cold War made this a lot easier because there was no chance of offending anyone in a viable market for the film industry, but even then, they'd usually pull back from depicting direct conflict between us and the Soviets.

neutral · AI labelView post →This movie feels way to smart to be a PG-13 screwball comedy. Cold War sci-fi satire's on par with the work of Rod Serling with a sense of humor that's as joyfully anarchic and bizarre as a Troma film. STARRING EVERYONE FROM 90s HOLLYWOOD! . #FrightClub #MarsAttacks!

A plea to stop obeying orders; an elegy for the common person, whose life is the sport of killers & fools www.youtube.com/watch?v=6WMQ...

neutral · AI labelView post →yes (and it was an iconic mission in the N64 game)! This was the first James Bond movie to release after the Cold War, and I think it had a surprisingly good take on the question 'does the world need James Bond in the '90s?'

Daniel Craig’s Bond is gone, and her absence was felt in the last 007 movie. Nothing stopping them from doing a soft-reboot.

My condolences to you for your loss. He sounds like he was a beautiful friend.
neutral · AI labelView post →So, funny story about that funny story... The CIA covertly funded and helped produce the 1954 animated film adaptation of George Orwell’s Animal Farm. As a Cold War propaganda tool, the agency bought the rights from Orwell's widow, hired a British studio to hide U.S. involvement, and changed the story's ending to promote an anti-communist message.

Also, living in a Cold War, but even more fucked up, horror film. And getting bled dry by the stupidest war, pick one, to ever to have been fought. It’s a lot.
neutral · AI labelView post →Even though the film as a whole doesn’t gel, there’s something intriguing about it… But the biggest mystery for me is how *that* Paweł Pawłowski managed to shapeshift into the one who’s given us IDA, COLD WAR and FATHERLAND, three of the best and most meaningful films of this century…

neutral · AI labelView post →I'm less interested in who plays Bond as long as they set every new Bond movie from here on out in a general late-80s venue: waning Cold War, soundtrack heavy with synth-pop, cheeseball action with just enough grit to earn a moment of gravitas but not so much that they're taking it too seriously.

neutral · AI labelView post →A lot of people don't know this, but the conflict in that movie was actually based on a real world non-kinetic conflict called The Cold War
neutral · AI labelView post →Okay, I did not fully appreciate what the novel and movie stood for. This was apparently more than just a showcase of national pride and exceptionalism. It apparently helped end the Cold War. Wild story worth watching, about a 1968 lost sub and an author who knew more than he had any right to. .../

neutral · AI labelView post →It’s a weird movie retrospectively, bc when I when I was younger I thought it was about the Cold War, but now I realize that it’s about Types of Guys who are present in every age & have to be guarded against always. (That might not have been the original intent, but that’s how it turned out).
