like it's a good point, some dude, that AP's no worse than a lot of his peers. but there's something more blatant? tossed-off? about race, society, gender, whatever, in payne's films that is espesh irksome to me. david lynch as well. just a casually all-white cast in movies that are supposed to be about, you know, the all-caps American experience.

feel like paynes films are p blatantly abt 'white culture' - like i somewhat give them a pass for their verisimilitude - not that its not in some sense stylized and ott - theyre just you know v observant and cutting - tho i dont doubt that irl thered be more not white people living the lyfe depicted in the films

i actually like barcelona a lot, possibly more than metropolitan. sideways is possibly the only time my objection to a movie has been I Hate These Characters And Hope They Die. like, not the only time that's ever happened, but the only time it was a problem. i dunno.
the characters in the descendants are white because they are the titular descendants of missionaries, apparently, not that i know who else is in it or if they're unwhite or played by rob schneider or what.

Just noticed that there's a screening of Nebraska here in a couple of weeks, with Payne introducing. It looks a little like The Straight Story from reading a description.

meh, a real mixed bag. Good performances (Stacy Keach!); better than About Schmidt, at least.
People are going overboard w/ the "condescending" stuff tho; I'm sure there's human waste like this on display on the Great Plains. And in Jersey.
