Hbomberguy posted:Ah, my Big Other finally weighed in. Okay, I can roll with this. Again, I do feel really bad about this, because I'm not trying to silence anyone's opinions or tell them they shouldn't express them, (it's just, you know, no freedom from response.) So if that was the end result, I feel kinda responsible and not-good about it. But if that's the game you're gonna play, it's only fair I play a hand too. I will not goad or harass Hbomberguy or tear into his HbomberguyOpinions anymore.  (I don't feel like I ever did the former to begin with, I only engaged when he started a something, but this will ensure that I never start doing it.) Needless to say, this is made (theoretically) a hell of a lot easier by his toxx, but I don't know what else I can do, so welp.Hopefully we can get some more positivity up in this bitch now.

PresidentBeard posted:God being unknowable and not a singular being is the whole point of Kabbalah and the Trinity. The belief in "God as an idea" is really about God being abstract, not about him not being real. If anything, the concept of God the Father as an old man in the sky is an artifact of Renaissance art and pagan depictions of Zeus/Jupiter. It's telling that in Orthodox iconography, the most widespread depiction of the whole Trinity is actually a symbolic one: the three angels that visited Abraham. Okay, back to Ishtar.

Keromaru5 posted:This is correct. The Orthodox believe it's impossible to understand God in concrete terms and concepts, and any language attempting to is inherently inadequate to the task, except in what he chooses to reveal to us. Which is why Jesus and the Holy Spirit are so important. Giving me flashbacks to that Lutheran satire about how it's basically impossible to say anything of substance about the Trinity without accidently confessing to some sort of ancient heresy. Although just because most forms of Christianity hold that God can't be properly described in human terms without inherently falling prey to misconceptions, doesn't mean that Christians think God is just a shared idea rather than something objectively real. (Although then we get into the whole "how are we defining reality" thing that would need someone with more philosophical chops than me to do justice to and probably doesn't belong in a thread about people on internet videos who talk about the pretty pictures.)

You're one of the few people I've seen who realize you're supposed to go fast in that game. Like most people will say the enemy respawns are bugs but they're really just punishments for people trying to take their time and inch through the game. Next time I'm at work I'm going to listen to the rest of your stuff.

Miss Wallace posted:Well a lot of the time when something is dubbed into English, they tend to fill in gaps with random noises so that the lips fit. It's a combination of a) laziness because they don't want to edit, a b) space-saving on the DVD. They only need one copy of the video file, and just switch the language track. The end result is annoyance, mostly. That makes a lot of sense! High Warlord Zog posted:On the other hand we did have authors like Robin Klein (who I never much cared for) and Morris Gleitzman was and continues to be awesome. I liked Robin Klein, Morris Gleitzman was often a little too cringeworthy embarrassing for me (which was the point, but I felt too much secondhand embarrassment reading those books), Gillian Rubinstein, Emily Rodda, Elizabeth Honey etc. And they were all great. (Although Gillian Rubinstein's Space Demons series wasn't exactly slice of life, more of a sort of...speculative fiction?) Oh, and also Phillip Gwynne. Deadly Unna/Nukkin Ya were really great books. I never read Lockie Leonard, but I did read the Bugalugs Bum Thief! Hey-o!

I enjoy the hell out of GG whenever it's Danny enjoying something or beating something he's never tried before. His Punch-out and Shadow of the Colossus videos were easily among the best they've done because of it. It also helps both of them are fantastic games but still.

Speaking of, RLM have done a new commentary track, this one for "Alien". I'm about an hour into it and its pretty good. Its nice to hear someone else championing the longer cut of "Alien 3". EDIT: Oh wow, SFDebris is doing "Forbidden Planet" at the end of the month, which is kind of a perfect film for him. For those of you who haven't seen it, its basically a dry run for "Star Trek", and coupled with "The Day the Earth Stood Still", one of the first 'serious' speculative science fiction films made in Hollywood.

And in the realm of less-successful serious sci-fi, I tackle a very cheap thriller about the then-new concept of “cyber space” featuring Jeffrey Combs. It’s Digital Prophet on Cheapskate Reviews.

Oh my, baby RLM.poparena posted:After seeing Bound, I had this image in my head of the Wachowskis watching Neil Jordan's Mona Lisa and going "this story is totally being told from the wrong perspective." That was partly why they didn't want to make Corky a dude, because that story..is hardly new. It's not exactly a unique plot, but there's nothing wrong with doing "Basic movie plot...WITH LESBIANS/GAY GUYS/TRANSPEOPLE!" once in a while, because...after all, it's good to have some LGBT movies that aren't *just* about being LGBT. Bound is silly, but it strikes a pretty good balance between not ignoring the characters' LGBT status, but also giving the characters an actual storyline that doesn't necessarily just fall into LGBT cliches. Which is not to say that you can't make a good movie about coming out or facing homophobia or whatever, but one doesn't necessarily want all LGBT movies to be about that.

I think my favourite coming out movie is the Swedish film loving Amal by the same director as We Are the Best about the all girl punk band. But yeah, there are very few characters in movies who are just incidentally lgbt. Same problem with indigenous people in Australian cinema, they only exist to highlight racism/social issues which means we only ever have very shallow understandings of their characters.

loving Amal is great, certainly the truest-to-life of my coming out experience. I'm not sure how I should read into it, but Lukas Moodyson is really good at writing well-rounded and realistic teenage girl characters. I loved We Are The Best for the same reason.
