ur post abt the green lantern’s political leanings was so interesting!! can you do one for the bat family? (but only if u wanna!!)
Honestly, I can't, because their politics are so incoherent.
Like, take Bruce. (And again, like with the Lanterns, I'm talking about canon here, not how I wish things were.) On the one hand, you would imagine he's pretty progressive, right? He's almost certainly a single issue voter and that single issue is gun control. He believes in rehabilitating criminals and in fact a lot of Wayne Enterprises hires are formerly incarcerated people. He is an active philanthropist who pours money into schools, orphanages, hospitals, public spaces, and the arts. These are all leftist values!
And yet the modern Batman is also a completely unrestrained violent anarchic-libertarian power fantasy. Bruce has invented his own law, which he enacts and enforces completely arbitrarily, however he feels like doing so. He obeys the laws he wants to obey and ignores the ones he doesn't care about, while insisting he is law-abiding. He tortures people literally constantly and considers it righteous. He uses the profits from his publicly traded company to become a one-man military industrial complex. (The emissions from the fucking Batmobile alone...!) He illegally surveils the entire city and sometimes the entire planet (Brother Eye, anyone?) because he has decided that his moral authority overrides literally anyone's right to privacy, anywhere. He allows his defeated foes to be locked up indefinitely regardless of their mental state in an institution that would make any qualified mental health professional run screaming in the opposite direction. He's sexist. All of these things sit on the right of the political spectrum, but imagine me pointing to the right like Charlie from It's Always Sunny pointing to his murder board.
And none of the Batfamily is any better. Some of them are honestly worse in certain aspects. Dick was a cop. Jason loves guns. Babs and Tim are even more in love with surveillance than Bruce is. Remember when Tim wanted to replace the police with, like, a Bat-army??? BECAUSE I DO.
It's not really "their fault," as much as anything can be a fictional character's fault. It's the result of being written by writers who are, for the most part, consciously trying to write the Bats as good Samaritans, but are also living in a world where we have had our brains warped by all of our blockbusters being funded by the US military, in a medium where badassery is prized above everything else, and so all this really problematic shit spills out onto the comics page without being questioned. It's also kind of a boiling frog situation: i.e. Batman has always had a cool car, so as he got tougher and tougher, of course that car would eventually become a tank, and no one stopped to go "Wait, what the fuck? What the fuck? How is this billionaire driving a tank around helping anyone???" I guess god bless Zack Snyder for inadvertently highlighting how fucking stupid and counterproductive a Batman taken to his worst extremes is.
To be clear, I don't think this is what most writers are trying to do with Batman (some of them are, but fuck those guys). But it's what happens when all you care about is rule of cool, and the more I think about it the more I'm like...shit, maybe Alan Moore was right and superheroes are just stupid.
Anyway in conclusion, comic book writers should consider the ramifications of what they're writing occasionally. But Bruce Wayne probably still votes blue, at least.

The Expendables 2 (2012)
This is a Movie Health Community evaluation. It is intended to inform people of potential health hazards in movies and does not reflect the quality of the film itself. The information presented here has not been reviewed by any medical professionals.
The Expendables 2 has extensive use of machine guns, all with bright muzzle flashes. While most of these uses happen in bright, daytime environments, they are all very bright and create strong strobe effects.
The camera is frequently handheld, but never shakes violently in this film. There is brief action involving vehicles at high speeds and in flight.
Flashing Lights: 8/10. Motion Sickness: 4/10.
TRIGGER WARNING: This film is very bloody and gory. There are a couple of uses of the R-slur.

ANIMATRONICS AND HORROR
The thing about animatronics in horror (as in, horror where those are the villains, not horror using practical effects) is that they never quite get the designs right. I say this as someone who loves animatronics and theme parks and such in general, they can sometimes be creepy if poorly designed! I can see why horror gravitated towards those kinds of characters. But do it right.
What makes animatronics creepy is a good idea done poorly. A drawing that doesn't quite translate to 3 dimensions, limited resources or technology. The uncanny Valley plays a huge part, something just on thd verge of too real but not real enough. For example, let's look at the progenitor of "creepy animatronics" in popular consciousness, Chuck E Cheese and Showbiz Pizza.

Now, look at these guys. I love them, but there is something a little off about them. Two opposite ends of a spectrum. The Rockafire Explosion characters are a bit too sculpted; there's just too many wrinkles and too extreme expressions. The Chuck E Cheese bots have the opposite problem, they're not expressive enough. They're dead and expressionless. But, you pook at them and you can see how in concept art they would be cute and friendly. And there's the problem.
Most horror that uses these kinds of characters are too purposely scary. It's like the tightrope walk of being "so bad it's good." It's hard to do on purpose. For example:
Tumblr media
Ah, Willy's Wonderland, how I hate your guts. Anyways, you look at this band and the thought that they were designed for kids. Even without the wear and tear, there's just nothing about them that looks as if they were meant to be anything other than scary. The whacked out proportions, the sharp teeth, they just don't work in any other context but horror. And that's a common problem, and if anything one of the less extreme examples.
A good animatronic horror in my mind sets the feeling of unease with the uncanniness of an old-fashioned animatronic, a realistic design that you can imagine being for kids but being just off the mark in a way that puts you off. Then, it grows from unease into horror through their actions, good shot composition and lighting, and the history behind why they're acting so strange.
There's my spiel on animatronic horror :)

"Why is it that one of us who wants to live the most, who deserves to live the most dies, and the ones that deserve to die keep on living? What's the message in that?"
