my favorite sf movie is "alphaville" and i have a b/w photo of a dead 20th century author for an avatar and i still enjoyed the gently caress out of pacific rim, because there's a time and a place for being a douchebag pseudo-intellectual and a movie theater showing a film about giant robots beating up giant monsters is not it

FMguru posted:its not a great film noir, but its very interesting and it has a lot to say about the genre and the era Yeah the GF wouldn't believe it was him until I rewound the undressing scene @ the end. I guess it's not exactly noir but it shares a certain attention to audiovisual detail w the genre and the fact that its got so much to say abt the genre is why I called it neo noir. The song was a cool touch and if I'm not mistaken the scoring was one of John Williams' first roles as well. Also the catte bit at the beginning is p YOSPOS imo

Sham bam bamina! posted:you're bring a disingenuous debate club shithead but i'll fukken humor you by reiterating the coherent points i've already made in a way that you might be able to comprehend: i like this post not sure i get all of your points but it saved me time i would have said rude things about joey that i could not have taken back stuff like this "Joey Ramone died of lymphoma at New York-Presbyterian Hospital on April 15, 2001, after a seven-year battle.[10] He was reportedly listening to the song "In a Little While" by U2 when he died.[11] This was during U2's Elevation Tour, and from that point on during shows Bono would introduce the song as a tune that was originally about a lovestruck hangover but that Joey turned it into a gospel song.[12]" their music sucked [citation not really needed] U2 was the cherry on top though we can't stop here though, this is troll country

I just finished reading Gateway by Fredrick Pohl. pretty good, very grimy and dark, with a completely unlikable protagonist. has a few quaint ideas about automated psychology and A.I, which are very much of their time. it's a heart breaking character piece set on a remote station and is well worth reading
