Want to rant about how the whole thing is a military recruitment video and/or propaganda? Yeah, and? Hell, modern cinema itself is founded upon the idea of political entertainment as a mass spectacle, but you don’t see someone tearing Strike! or Battleship Potemkin a new asshole because it was commissioned by the state.
#YOU ARE YOU GAY MEME MOVIE#
Want to freak the fuck out like Quentin Tarantino did in some now-forgotten ’90s movie about how gay the movie is? Yeah, and? Are you trying to tell me that gay fighter pilots can’t be cool? Are we still at the cultural point where the mere suggestion of queerness in quasi-conservative art is enough to cause otherwise well-meaning progressives to sling homophobic insults? I genuinely hope not. The intangible thing about Top Gun, the piece of the puzzle that links all of the disparate yet oft-heard criticisms together and makes it possible to answer them all with a “Yeah, and?” is that it is cool as fuck. Couple that with the impressive innovations in camera tech both as a result of the natural evolution of modes of film production and the few that were outright invented for this film, and you have something familiar, yet utterly fresh.īut first, a little more about the why of this film. Maverick doesn’t try to rewrite the formula of the original, though it adds a heaping serving of pathos to the plate of fanciful imagery, white-knuckle thrills, and swell character work already present in the original film. I won’t say it, though, because Maverick isn’t better than the original 1986 film: Instead, I think it’s just as good, which is to say that it’s fantastic.

The metaphor, of course, is that grief never leaves you, though you can learn to live with it.Is it finally time for us all to admit that Tony Scott’s Top Gun is… a really good movie? I can picture at least half of you forming up behind me, like that astronaut in that one meme, frothing at the bit to say “Always has been” before plugging me with two shots from your pistol, but the other is pleading with me to say the line that’s become standard-issue ever since Joseph Kosinski’s Top Gun: Maverick premiered at Cannes. Amelia and Samuel dig up earthworms in the garden to feed the Babadook, who seems thoroughly kowtowed by Amelia. The movie ends on an unexpected note, with Amelia standing up to the Babadook and driving it into the basement, where it ends up staying and acting as an odd sort of pet for the family.

They unknowingly release a humanoid demon, the Babadook, from a pop-up children’s story book and it begins to utterly ruin their lives, causing seizures, possessing Jennifer, killing their dog, and driving them mad.

It follows the story of a widowed mother, Amelia, and her bratty son, Samuel. Long answer: The Babadook is a 2014 Australian psychological horror film written and directed by Jennifer Kent which ended up being a huge indie hit after its American premiere at the 2014 Sundance Film Festival. Short answer: it’s a demon that represents a person’s struggle with depression. The more familiar you are with Tumblr, the more the Babadook meme makes perfect sense.īut before we get into how, exactly, the Babadook became a gay icon and tell you what the meme’s creator, Tumblr user ianstagram, told Inverse, we’re going to take a pause for those of you who are completely lost. Maybe unsurprisingly, this wonderful weirdness originated on Tumblr, an online stronghold and blog collective perhaps best known for being a bit of a cesspool of tears, fanwork, infighting, and imaginary bullshit. Pride 2017 has been bombarded with what people are simply calling the “Babadook is gay” meme. The Babadook is “one thicc bih” and the internet is not here for your slander against him or his status as a queer icon. He’s out there, fighting the good fight, draped in feather boas and donning rainbow suspenders, marching in Pride parades. The Babadook, the villain in a 2014 Australian film, has come a long way from eating bugs in the basement of a single mother’s home in Australia.
