MacheteZombie posted:I need to watch this movie. Henry Rollins is one of my favorite people. Do it. If you want to see what you're in for, watch the first half of the trailer. But really just buy it sight unseen if you like Henry Rollins. I rented it for 6 bucks, which was a seven day rental, and I've watched it 3 times. Also, and this is a weird note, it shows up twice on amazon prime. I read a comment that says the one with the red poster is actually an error and is some completely unrelated movie. People are looking into it. I got the white poster one and it's the right movie, so  I'm not shutting up about this movie until some people here watch it.

I dunno, his turn in Wrong Turn 2 is fun. Oh also playing against type in Feast had some good Rollins related gags. And I'm not exactly a hip hop expert but I enjoyed Earl Sweatshirt's I Don't Like poo poo, I Don't Go Outside. Bleak as hell at times.

corn in the bible posted:Time travel is impossible so it can never be scientifically accurate hth Yes, but not all time travel narratives necessarily violate their own established causality. Think of it like magical realism. The part that's unrealistic serves a narrative purpose. It helps explore an idea. It doesn't matter if this magical part is something that would ever be possible. However, if works in contradicting ways within the narrative, it can cloud the narrative. In Looper, Bruce Willis goes back in time to change the timeline, but we see in the movie that changing the timeline doesn't really work. If you kill someone in the past, it doesn't undo anything they did, they just vanish from the perspective of the film viewer. I like the movie, but they could have changed this so that it made sense. The reason they didn't is obvious: they really wanted that scene of a dude's limbs disappearing in the future when they were cut off in the past, because it was really hosed up and awesome.

The the first Star War's movie is half western anyway. A farm boy follows a stray sheep into the wilderness where he meets a crazy hermit. On the way back to his farm, he finds the caravan that sold him the sheep ambushed and massacred by indians. The hermit tells him it was soldiers who wanted people to think it was indians. The boy returns home to find out the soldiers have already been there, burnt his farm and killed his family. Cut to a saloon where an outlaw shoots a bounty hunter under the table in a quickdraw and flicks a coin at the bartender. That's all western as gently caress.

I mean it's okay, I like it because I like the characters from the show, but those characters are barely in the movie, because they are pared-down for stand-alone filminess.

Chiwetel Ejiofor is without a doubt the best part of the movie. That and the implication that Ron Glass's character (Shepherd Book) was an operative before the events of the show is pretty neat.

MacheteZombie posted:The plot to Serenity is really good, especially as an ending to Firefly, it's the execution (sans space assassin) that brings it down. Yeah, and I think if I had seen it before the show, I wouldn't be offended as much by its treatment of the characters. Serenity retcons some things, and it loses basically all the depth that the characters have in the show. It glosses over a lot of things. And there's just some baffling decisions, like Inara's bow being digitally replaces with weird space dart launcher. Why. It's not like you can't see her carrying her bow around before and after the one scene they did digital replacement in... edit: ^ I'm not sure I've ever caught that... what is it?

Haha, save yourself some pain and never read the comic they wrote for his backstory. Firefly is best when it's going all in on being a space western, which is why The Train Job is the best episode. Serenity has good and bad parts and ultimately balances out to 'it's okay'. Chiwetel Ejiofor is a large part of what pushes it towards good. Pointless character deaths and reduced depth weigh it down towards bad.

Well that's fair. I guess I liked the smaller scale, "space western" element of it which is barely present in the movie. The show is mostly small dusty downs with minor disagreements that have nothing to do with space. Small scale, low-stakes stories. So the movie going "we're gonna uncover the giant evil conspiracy origin story while sidelining the character envelopment that happened in the show" really rubbed me the wrong way. It felt like a story that the show would do in season 6 or 7. edit: ^ don't worry, I'm allergic to tie-in comics. and comics in general that aren't TMNT or Iron Fist.

Snak posted:edit: ^ I'm not sure I've ever caught that... what is it? I can't remember the precise wording and situation, but it's between the Operative and Mal, I think when he shows up at Inara's (there's another character who got super shafted by the movie). They're talking about River: The Op: "That girl is an albatross!" Mal: "You know, I'm pretty sure the bad luck came from killing the albatross in that story."

Operative: That girl will rain destruction down on you and your ship. She is an albatross, Captain. Mal: Way I remember it, albatross was a ship's good luck, 'til some idiot killed it. It's a killer line.

Instead of a death star it could be an armored war train and the farm boy throws a stick of dynamite into the smokestack exploding the engine and derailing the train off a cliff.
