Made a faintly insane list of of every animated movie I have good enough memories of to feel confident ranking, although some of them I would probably move around if I saw them more recently....

Not to go too deep into a kids movie but did the cop Judy Hopps in Zootopia break the law and blackmail a citizen to improve her position in her career

Like sure what he was doing was illegal but like

as a cop

that's way more fucked up than selling stolen ice cream right

like,,,do you deserve your position at that point even if you solved the case,,,,

something that I think is indicative of the brilliance of goncharov is that, due to it having been lost media for so long, most of the copies of it that resurfaced all have slightly different but equally coherent cuts. the copy I got from a mega.nz link my friend sent me features katya strangling ice pick joe and has a shot revealing andrey as goncharov's final killer, but I've seen a few people on here talking about the copies they have and how, in their version of the film, katya doesn't miss when she tries to shoot goncharov and he dies right there. I believe this is also where the confusion about katya's last name (goncharova/michailova) comes from. scorsese and jwhj0715 created such a fleshed out world in this film that they prepared dozens of themetically resonant and meaningful cuts, all of which are works of art in and of themselves and provide different angles into this tragic tale of cyclical violence.

STRANGE DAYS (1995): Elaborately derivative, unpleasantly sordid cyberpunk thriller, directed by Kathryn Bigelow, set in Los Angeles in late December 1999 (still four years in the future when the film was released) and starring Ralph Fiennes as Lenny, a disgraced former vice cop and down-at-heels dealer in black market recordings for a technology that lets the user experience someone else's prerecorded memories (essentially the "simstim" rigs from William Gibson's Sprawl novels). After a former acquaintance leaves him a recording that could set a match to a city already perpetually teetering on the brink of riot — and which seems somehow connected to Lenny's estranged ex-girlfriend Faith (Juliette Lewis) and her sleazy producer/pimp/boyfriend Philo (Michael Wincott) — Lenny ends up on the run, aided only by his former partner Max (Tom Sizemore) and his inexplicably loyal driver/bodyguard/ex-girlfriend Mace (Angela Bassett, in a role obviously inspired by Gibson's Molly Millions, albeit without the hardware).

The story, which is by James Cameron, borrows liberally from William Gibson throughout (with an icky soupçon of Michael Powell's PEEPING TOM), but by keeping the setting to the then very near future, it remains topical and largely avoids reducing the cyberpunk trappings to a series of rote aesthetic gestures in the manner of the R. Talsorian CYBERPUNK games. However, a bunch of important narrative elements just don't gel (Lenny, whom Fiennes plays as a sort of musty wet dishrag of a man, is not at all convincing as an ex-cop, and the idea that Mace is still carrying a torch for him is hard to credit), and it's often really ugly (in particular a horrifying rape/snuff sequence that's upsetting to watch even if you're forewarned).

Worse, the film then catastrophically undermines its own political throughline with a preposterous and infuriating cop-out ending that betrays the filmmakers' white liberal equivocation about policing and race. CONTAINS LESBIANS? Only in a brief and obvious performative simstim sequence. VERDICT: Intermittently compelling — particularly Bassett, who is magnificent in every respect and by far the best thing in the movie — but its sheer nastiness and the cowardly ending tend to overshadow its virtues. CWs apply for graphic sexual violence and police brutality.

So in many versions of the Batman mythos, Bruce Wayne as Bruce Wayne puts on this mighty façade of being a complete and total himbo. Like, he does not want you to think of him as a Tony Stark. He wants you to think of him as useless.

He sits around his office all day spouting off nonsense corporate jargon and reposts shitty memes on LinkedIn. (and naps because long Batman nights be long)

Now please couple that with the opening of Batman V (aka, the only good part that actually understands the character). Imagine you're in a burning building and who runs in but your absolute dumbass of a CEO who can't open a PDF.
