>It’s no joke that The Devil Wears Prada 2 opens with a shindig called “NYPC Journalism Awards” where Andrea wins a prize and, in her acceptance speech, tearfully, angrily declares journalism’s importance to society. This is too much like the defensiveness of Fake News minions who consider their biases to be above reproach. Only numbskulls could fail to see the irony, and throughout the press screening, attendees could be heard giggling and swooning over the wacky couture wardrobe and cute insider badinage at the offices of Runway magazine. It’s a movie for the benighted throng who imagine themselves 1 percenters.>Ditzy Andrea is one of those career climbers who ascends by luck. Her ironic sense of fashion includes wearing an ILGWU (International Ladies’ Garment Workers’ Union) T-shirt under a blazer — not a sign of talent or hard work, it proves that Devil Wears Prada 2 flaunts the gentrification of journalism. Andrea shamelessly returns to Runway magazine, harboring a plan to write a book-length exposé of Miranda Priestly; mostly, she shows off her privilege as part of the undying snotty-media class. In Andrea’s scheme, fancying herself one of Miranda’s peers, she’s a cohort of billionaires (Lucy Liu, Justin Theroux) who conduct company takeovers, while ensuring her own status as an arrogant tastemaker. Andrea exemplifies media shills who all think alike and write in lockstep. (Miranda issues their ultimate judgment: “You’re not a visionary, you’re a vandal.”)
>>220449572Didn't get any of that. Did they really thought a movie about journalism or management was fun?Anyways it's not a movie about journalism, Andy doesn't investigate or write shit, she's paid to shill clothes and somehow people care about her ads?It's not a movie about personal growth, she moved on from being an intern in the first movie and she's back to being an intern here. Miranda was a bitch with a tragic backstory, she's still a bitch with fear of retirement (that wasn't explored), Emily was a bitch with a melting ice heart, she's still a bitch, with a chinked ice heart. Tucci was a bootlicking fag, he's still a bootlicking fag, and he wasn't even promoted!Plot is Jewish owner dies, Zuckerberg wants to buy, but Zuckerberg's ex wife buys instead. Everyone keeps working in their same posts.Huge nothingburger. How fucked is the film industry when the brand is rewarded instead of the product. You may create a 1 off cult classic and die peniless, then you make slop and become filthy rich.
>>220449711Checked> journalism or management was fun?Well it made 400 million.Management is actully a fun movie subject and under done
>>220449572so funny how easy it is to spot an Armond review. surprised he didn't mention Obama.
>>220449785>it made 400 millionBecause the first one was really good, I like it for it's depiction of an abusive workplace, that's something most people can relate to and to some hit hard. Andy's character was already shit in the first movie but it was fun to see her struggling. It's the same thing as the starwars sequels. They're fucking shit, but they're Star Wars.
this shit is just money laundering. >find whatever past franchises that can justify a report of a bazilion dollars profit>blackmail the actors and directors into making a sequel or they hit you with a scandal>hire a bunch of mohammeds to flood social medias of your shitass movie patched together by ducktape >report a bazillion dollars box office>????>profit
>>220449821True. I forgot the $$ second movie is always based on how good the first one was
Why does /tv/ always seethe when a franchise they don't like and that they will never even watch succeeds?
>>220449572Its shit because it ends up right back where it started. Nothing changes. Nobody really grew, nobody learned from their mistakes. They just roped in some outside rich people to save their bacon and keep the status quo. It tries to act like its saying something important about a changing world but instead its a bunch of assholes still acting like they matter
>>2204498584chan liked the first movie becuase we could waifu the protag and the movie was fun
>>220449572I prefer the second one just because it didn't include her annoying friends nor her retarded bf from the first one.
>>220449572>gentrification of journalismStopped reading there.
>>220450607>it didn't include her annoying friends nor her retarded bf from the first onThey were really the worst part of the first one.
