Happy that #WhiteLotus dropped Biković. Sure, it will be spun as Serbophobia in #Serbia, but it’s hard to escape that his art is servile to two authoritarian regimes.
Yes, there is Serbophobia in Hollywood, and yes, it is part of a racialized portrayal of East Europeans. And yes, we should also cancel Tom Cruise or Bradley Cooper, who play in similar imperialist agitprop like Biković. But a little happy he gets some consequences.
Sweet #Cinema, you vex me. You know I wince at #BodyHorror and still you tempt me with David Cronenberg's #CrimesOfTheFuture , his most recent nightmare. I must admit it repulsed and lured me in the ways that only he can. I felt entrenched as if inside a classic #Scifi novel. Yet I'm not kinky enough for repeat servings... Next up: his son's Infinity Pool.
With its gut-wrenching #SciFi concept, #InfinityPool says more about colonial tourism than the typical #WhiteLotus episode. Though I was left unmoved by its conclusion.
Am Montag fliege ich zum ersten Mal seit 2019 ¹.
Gestern Packliste geschrieben und Koffer packen angefangen - und prompt geträumt, ich würde dermaßen verschlafen, dass ich den Zug nach FFM verpasse. Der Mittags geht. Heast?

¹ Nicht freiwillig, sondern weil das #KIT sagt, dass der Zug für die selbe Strecke zu teuer ist. Weil der Zug pro Richtung so viel kostet wie der Flug hin & retour (exkl. Fahrtkosten zum/vom Flughafen).
