Comment on I will keep recommending weird, old, and obscure films
yermaw@sh.itjust.works 2 weeks agoI probably would not recommend movies to you. Too dicey. Id love to hear your opinions on stuff but I woukd never attach my name to anything.
To me Kingsmen was just “dude, like, imagine James bond, but like, it isnt. And also the good guy from Bridget Jones totally murders a whole church.”

First Kingsmen had a lot of boilerplate Hero’s Journey stuff in it, but the second one where the villain was anti-marijuana set a pattern with the villains.
When the world government spy agencies fail, it will take a private option one to save the day.
The main character is from a low social standing family, but is discovered by said “private option” and uplifted. Normally, this is just Hero’s Journey stuff, but it matches perfectly with libertarian ideas.
I side eyed the extremist environmentalist villain in the first movie, but making the second villain anti-marijuana is more libertarianism.
I don’t find Mark Millar very interesting, but when someone about him does come my way, he comes across as a very simple minded person.
