"transformers is actually a subtle satire of hollywood excess" is still the wildest CD take, imo

cd's reputation is a little unfairly maligned but yeah, the whole transformers thing was a stretch

Stairmaster posted:I watched end of watch and I don't get why cinema discusso loves david ayer so much Because it's a really good and effective movie that shows how much fun it is to ride till you die as part of a gang Plus it compares ms13 and the lapd and concludes the only difference is one has state support Edit: his other movies are good too, particularly Fury Peanut President posted:"transformers is actually a subtle satire of hollywood excess" is still the wildest CD take, imo That's a misrepresentation of Terry V's internet-shattering thread: her argument iirc was that transformers satirizes American culture, that it was the ultimate excessive blockbuster, and nothing about it is subtle or accidental I admit I used to get tripped up on that last aspect myself but Pain & Gain kinda gives it away

I don't know if Transformers satirizes American culture, but it definitely revels in it

The trick is that Michael Bay sees all the horrible things about American culture and thinks they're loving rad Still says something that Megan Fox's character is Michaela Banes.

DoD approves all the transformers scripts so that points to the society that is satire not the films

so due to good timing this convinced me to finally give always sunny a serious watch i gave it exactly one season from this episode and have now concluded that its always sunny in philadelphia is the quintessential american sitcom for the following reasons there are homeless people there are characters who do drugs and then get addicted to drugs everyone is a narcissistic rear end in a top hat no one has any money except for the token boomer who incompetently manages a small business no one shuts the gently caress up about what city they live in

Anecdotally, I had a former co-worker who, when she felt bored with what was happening in the film, would fast forward until something on the screen looked interesting. At work the next day, she would complain about how the movie didn't make sense

For a hive mind there is quite a lot of difference of opinion  lolJudakel posted:i mean ok but that's still lazy Sometimes the truth is I guess. Probably why filmmakers always punch it up with running and gunning etc It's been a long while since I've seen End of Watch but it's a very energetic movie Stairmaster posted:end of watch also has a micro plot where a black criminal develops respect for a hispanic police officer after they have a fist fight If a cop accepts your challenge to take off his badge and gun and fight you like a man and doesn't arrest you for beating on him - well then, honestly, fair is fair I can see why this character would give props for that It's not like the dude sent flowers to Pena's funeral Stairmaster posted:also in end of watch a lady cop gets every bone in her face broken after gettign beaten by a large hispanic man and everyone in her unit disparages her for quitting the police department (her partner got stabbed in the eye with a six inch long knife and had to retire) That's a great scene Are you upset that one badass guy ended 2 police careers in one go? Or that the other cops are presented as so callous? If it makes you feel better they're actors no real cops were harmed (too bad imo)

Even Superhot, a game you can finish in like 90 minutes, only has 50% completion on the high end and some super long RPGs like Pathfinder: Kingmaker have sub 10% completion rates.
