Tremendous Taste posted:Deservedly so This is from several pages back but I think Southland Tales is a movie that wasn't big enough to handle its own brilliance, it's one of my favorites as well.

Also the last movie that made me tear up was Terminator Genisys -- "take care of my Sarah" Last movie that made me straight up weep was Love. That last sequence hit me so hard I cried for an hour afterwards.

Oh yeah short term 12 was a really good movie. I guess my number 5 all time fave movie is Thirteen. Final List: Scott Pilgrim vs. the World Oculus Big Fish Empire Records Thirteen idk that list doesn't look right for some reason.

Top five is really hard because I watch a poo poo ton of movies Blade Runner Donnie Darko Synecdoche, New York Hedwig and the Angry Inch Brick First runner up is Gravity I guess, I really had to think hard about bumping one of those off the list because Gravity has had such a huge impact on me since I saw it, but meh gotta stick with the ones I've loved for years and years and years and also Blade Runner.

Ernie. posted:why? I badly, badly want to go to space. Like I applied to be a part of Mars One even though I lacked any necessary skills to be a part of a team. I actually make a concerted effort to not think about space travel because a lot of the time it will just make me feel horribly depressed that I probably won't ever get to go to space. If I tell this to people, most of them get all condescending like "oh you never know, space tourism is gonna be a thing, you might be able to go when you're like sixty" or something to that effect and they just don't get it, I don't wanna just leave the atmosphere and check out some stars for twenty minutes and come back, I straight up want to go live on a space station for a while or work on a planetary exploration team or something like that. When I saw Gravity for the first time I saw it in the theatre twice in one day. I cried like a baby both times. I left that movie maybe with the sort of experience Ecco had with Fury Road, that I'd been waiting my entire life to see a movie like this. The visuals are just so captivating, I know the science is off and the story is weak and I totally don't care. I just love the gorgeous expanse of it, it's even cool on a small screen. I've seen it like eight or ten times now and that shot where the Chinese space station debris is burning up during her re-entry still raises the hairs on the back of my neck. I just can't think of another movie that has such a strongly positive visceral effect on me. It's not the best sci-fi movie ever and I'm fully aware that it's fatally flawed but I don't care because that movie just gets me.

Other Aaron Sorkin works too, but West Wing especially. It is an imperfect show, but it is my favourite show by a mile. I've seen every episode at least a dozen times and I will never get tired of it. It's just so incredibly my thing in every way. If we had some sort of Aaron Sorkin pre-apocalypse movie I think that'd be my favourite piece of media ever.

Look Under The Rock posted:I badly, badly want to go to space. oh please don't be depressed about not going to space!! as someone (me) who wants to do scientific experimentation for space travel in the next ~10 years, keep in mind all the horrific things we'll have to endure. inter-generational expeditions, people never knowing anything but the inside of a space-ship, new diseases, learning the true depths of our inability to get anything right. all for the chance to escape. i always think of it like living in the 1400s and crossing the atlantic. not pleasant for anyone. and at the end of the day here we are and we ... speak, think and laugh in much the same way we always have and we haven't gained much, much from it. gravity is a great movie and it's spurned a lot of movie technical improvements to get its sound right, and it motivated studios to invest in other space movies like interstellar which in turn gave us the chance to explore some really cool mathematical models for gravitational lensing! but i think it's worth it keeping in mind how conceited the movie was, and that you're in love with space and not the movie. and to those ends, i highly doubt that you'd be out of place with any skill-sets you might have to volunteer at an observatory, or do amateur backyard telescope star-gazing to help find stray comets that we simply don't have the human-power necessary to map all of them that are coming towards us, or to participate in the numerous health/clinical studies for space food and medication, or to host space education night classes at your local community college to increase public interest etc. also later this year no man's sky the video game is coming out and i fully plan to pretend i'm a space biologist and blog about discovering new species for a few weeks non-stop. :P you should try that, i guess you'll find it'll be cathartic much in the same way i will Ernie. fucked around with this message at 05:06 on Jul 18, 2015 |
