Please warn me about the dangers and horrors of societal body image and perceptions of women while giving me close ups of a toned and filled out Margaret Qualley’s perfect naked body.
Make sure some Cronenberg-ripoff body horror fits in to remind us this is a horror movie.
Another film, like The Joker, that seems brilliant to audiences who never saw a movie made before 1990.

> It was fucking brilliant, you cretin.
It was a heavy handed and surface exploration of beauty, women in entertainment, and used Kubrick’s hallways and cut-rate Cronenberg themes without the depth. Why would a woman sacrifice herself when her “other” essentially has a different consciousness and there’s no way to experience the world through the replicant’s eyes? Even if they’re supposed to be a symbiotic and codependent biological being.
The infinitely better film with similarities is David Lynch’s Mulholland Drive, which hits new and old Hollywood, aging, and the meat grinder behaviors of the industry.

Americans are so dead and degraded now that if the US Army liquidates Fargo tomorrow, no one would even shrug.
