Alright folks, new instance is @kurgarru . Follow me there!
Saw Prey yesterday, since "Comanche girl in the 1700s squares off with The Predator" was too good a premise to pass up. Amazing, loved it, but what really blew me away was the (political and narrative) choice to make the colonizers the other. The second shot of europeans in the movie is this unkempt, sweaty, hunched-over white guy mumbling to his friends. The colonizers are filtered through the tropes indigenous characters often find themselves put through. Dumb, cruel, yellow-toothed foreigners. Also the Predator tears through all of them in the second half of the movie. Amazing stuff, 10/10
