Have you not noticed neo-nazis conflate jew with socioeconomically dominant faction in the same manner that "intersectional feminists" conflate socioeconomically dominant faction with straight cis white male?
John Carpenter and /leftykino/
A really good little known documentary I've seen is East Side Story. It's about musical films in East Germany and the Eastern Bloc and covers musicians like Frank Schobel. It's pretty good and is on YouTube in English. I recommend it.

Well, yes. That's sort of my point. It doesn't matter who pulls the strings, the strings are still there to begin with.
Carpenter makes cult movies, not good movies.
And /leftykino/ is stupid, you can read every movie ever made from an anti capitalist stand point. Even movies that are made by anti communist such as pic related.
GitS movies, Jin-Roh and Patlabor 2 are a critical theorist's wet dream
Are you trying to compare him to someone like John Ford or Andrei Tarkovski? Because as far as suspense and horror goes, he's one of the best.
He makes really quotable "cool" movies and as far as mainstream american horro movies he's good, that said I think he's contributions to the media are overrated.
His technical department is obviously top notch, but the guy himself is kind of an overplayed meme.
And no, I'm not comparing him to john ford or Tarkovsky, I see nothing bad in doing more accessible movies or more mainstream and I'm not snobbish, It's just that his movies imho are more cult movies and t shirt movies than actually good movies.
He's awesome at doing music tho
I don't really know man, Halloween and The Thing are timeless classics, which revolutionized the Genre of horror in multiple ways.
And let's not forget that In The Mouth Of Madness is one of the best horror movies ever made.
Especially if you're into Lovecraftian horror.
Too bad Lovecraft as a person makes it really really hard to enjoy Lovecraft's works, honestly.
Reminder that even Zizek loves Carpenter's movies.
Zizek said he hate scorsese movies which is the worst opinion you can have on anything ever.
Zizek is not a cinephile
