Yeah, I agree. He abused his cast & crew into making the most perfect version of what he had in mind... except that his mind, chewn up and shat out by ganja, wasn't capable of having vision beyond the issues that plague vipers (ganja addicts)... trivial issues twisted out of shape.
When I started watching his movies I thought he was schizophrenic, but then I found out about his addiction.
Yet the devil ain't that black, once you go through a few Altman movies (I recommend "McCabe & Mrs. Miller" and "California Split" as they cover his entire range and don't scratch you on the eyes... or the ears...), you will be able to recognize specific patters in the movies of other directors too... "been there done that," a 5th page newspaper column meant for TV and shot for cinema can only take you so far.
Anon, you might not have been briefed with regards to what changed since the late 1980's: whomever used to sign up as "fodder" is currently hardcore leftist, a child abuser, and more and more often a downright a dick-chopping tranny... so they are occupied and there is no reason or advantage of recruiting them.
My personal opinion is that this movie is a critique of the current state of the military system: with all the tech they have they COULD HAVE afforded to pay a bit of attention to the faggotry happening at their doorstep... yet they didn't. I don't even think it's specific to the USA army, just like current technology is not exclusive to the USA.
When pushed, I might even argue that an anti-military propaganda:
1. top tier operators more concerned than sucking each others dicks and wanting to rape a virgin that solving the task they were given in the most efficient way possible... sure this is realistic but that's the problem; apparently the USA politicians learned jack shit since Vietnam and still can't decide between sending the scum of the earth to die or sending their best people to fight... so they just mix in the dogshit with the cake and have it all blow up in their face "I DID NOTHING WRONG"... guess what there is more of on the face of the planet: scum in the world or decent human beings (the "best people" I mentioned)? the message of the movie for anybody with an IQ above room temperature is "the politicians and military had 50 years to get their shit together but done jack shit"... does that pro-military to you, retard?
2. Las Vegas drone-control base was filled with communist freeloaders who had methods available to actively sabotage personnel doing their duty (they were probably even encouraged to do that)... the situation doesn't get solved in the movie so this can be also considered communist propaganda: bother people doing their job
There are more to say of course but if the powers that be solved these two issues I am sure the rest would probably solve themselves.
>Do these people need to be shouted at, and have a gun in their face before they listen?
Yeah. The sad thing is that this is a fairly okay situation, Middle Easteners (with an average IQ of 85) usually understanding instructions after being repeated 2-3 times. The sad thing is that gypsies and illegal immigrants in Europe are way below that and can only be educated through savage beatings, something that was ruled illegal by corruption of justice their very own sponsors.
A agree, it is absurd to assume that nuking a city of 40k would transform NCR from a neutral peacekeeping force with bases all over the place into a band of commie woke-andians.
In addition, both NCR and BOS behave like stereotypical Caesar's Legion, not only in philosophy but ritual.
The acting inside the vaults (32 / 4) was incredibly strained... maybe it's the standard manner of acting in every TV show made after 2012? So it may be some sort of a self-awareness? But is that inside joke really worth the price?
The last three episodes are way lower quality than the first four, so that may have contributed to getting fed up...
Overall the show was better than I expected, and will probably have at least 2 seasons more if the producers can get over the whole "hey, it's a post-apocalyptic desert, no effort needed to populate the place!" shtick and start writing quality material.
Sorry, I don't have the time to educate the mentally retarded... but I am sure there are taxpayer financed programs which can educate you how to make a google search.
Liberal fan service is what it is, considering that everything in it can be reduced to two things:
1. swearing for the love of swearing (1+ gratuitous "fuck"s per minute only in the first 20 minutes)
2. normalizing all kinds of LGBT dirty fantasies
Anya Taylor-Joy already had two decent movies (The VVitch & Thoroughbreds) by the time she was the age Jenna Ortega today... quite sad the waste of a capable actress
Well, I don't think they would be able to find anybody more obnoxious... Winona Ryder comes close but probably too young to satisfy the perverted tastes of the Diversity Mob.
Thank Mr. Heinlein, he has a great talent (and an even greater palette) in writing female characters.
