CelticPredator posted:Devin Faraci put up a podcast about which Alien film is better, Alien or Aliens. That sounds like fun, I love the Alien movies, and RLM's discussion on them was very nice and fun to listen too. I liked it, but when they're also debating to a live crowd - while getting drunk - then it's going to descend into madness, particularly with Kumail there to goad them. Take the jackassery out of it though and I think Devin puts forward some really good arguments in favour of Alien, whereas Amy - who I usually like - just doesn't seem to know what to say other than weirdly trying to argue that everything good in Alien is a mistake and Ridley Scott is a bad director. Though I'm glad to know I'm not the only person who has issues with the pacing in Aliens, even in the theatrical cut.

It was then I realized I can't listen to two people angerly debate which film is better, because they both own.

I'm not going to hide the fact that I'm insanely biased and think both films are pretty much perfect in my eyes, so debating about which is better, when the debaters don't respect both films, will frustrate me no matter what. "Alien is a visually fantastic film!" Oh, I agree! "Aliens is a really fun movie!" gently caress yeah it is! "Aliens is also boring stupid garbage, unlike Alien which is art." Nooo. "Well, Alien is loving boring and nothing happens!" Nooooooooo. I also kind of hate this anti Aliens thing that seemed to pop up recently.

That and the daughter scene are the only good thing about the directors cut. But I like the LV-426 scene on it's own.

Pillars of Eternity is set in a world where wizards who lift weights do more damage with their fireballs and magic missiles. A good game.

Manoel de Oliveira died at 106, his latest full length feature was in 2012, very prolific to say the least.

Does anyone know how far he was on The Church of the Devil?I was pullin' for him to break 110. Does he hold any world records for Oldest Director or anything?

So I work at a Catholic school and a few students in a class today were telling me they all got in trouble in religion class for laughing a bunch at a movie they were being shown that was unintentionally hilarious but the teacher took very seriously. That film's name? weekly font fucked around with this message at 16:20 on Apr 2, 2015 |

You'd be pressed to find a student in a Catholic school who doesn't laugh at anything religious, but that's still a good story.

I can't remember the comedian's name, but I always liked this bit where he says, "whenever I tell people I went to Catholic School for 12 years they ask my why I'm not Catholic, and I tell them 'because I went to Catholic School for 12 years.'"

Man, Ninja Scroll looks pretty in HD. I always thought it was kinda shonky looking in SD but I guess Manga just didn't take care of their print.

The movie seems to be pretty grounded in a hyper-stylish reality (with the one borderline sci-fi element of face-switching) and then you get to the prison from Fortress.
