It wasn't as informative about the making of Mad Max than the talk I saw with the production crew at some visual arts school, but it was still raelly fun to see his trippy designs blown up to giant size and hear him talk about working on Ninja Turtles. I wish he'd spent more time on working on Reboot, though.

Vagabundo posted:Or in some cases, is the authority figure over men. Remember the well-spread freakout by some idiot who was like "how dare that woman shout orders at noted American icon Max Rockatansky!" Which is extra funny since there's a scene in the original film where his wife shouts at him to get in the car and he's like "wut?" and she's all like "there's no time, just get in" and he trusts her and does it.

Of course they're racist. Of the ways that white women infringe on their male rights is that they whorishly lust after exotic black and Hispanic men rather than being satisfied with white men, as is the natural right of white men. I mean, I just made that up, but I bet it's true.

I was in the mood for more Mad Max so I picked up the game on Steam sale and holy poo poo is it amazing looking. Combat and driving feel great and weighty and the sand, metal, and fire effects are insane. Shame that the actual structure of the game and most of the characters are complete garbage though.

It suffers from regular Open-World Syndrome; most of the content involves running over the map looking for stuff. Some of the stuff is good and fun like assaulting warboy bases and ripping them to shreds, the rest is just "tear down these towers and minefields and snipers and races" you should ignore.

Yeah that poo poo all sucks, though slamming into towers and sending snipers flying off cliffs is pretty fun. The hot air balloons and markers all over the map can suck a fat nut. chitoryu12 posted:The game is by the Just Cause developers, so treat it the same: understand that the story takes a back seat to really pretty destruction and go have fun. Yeah pretty much though goddamn I wish it wasn't so stiff with the movement. Max has the worst jump I've ever seen in a game and it blows that you can only climb on certain things that are painted yellow and deemed climbable. Isn't that a problem that was solved last generation? poo poo is terrible.

It is a very beautiful game and I like the world it paints, sparsely populated as it is. It's just unfortunate that they couldn't tell a good story with this setting and these interesting characters. I played it for nearly 60 hours so it's not like I didn't enjoy myself.

His gun case has a death's head "Totenkopf", but from what I remember of the historian-nerd discussion, it's not actually a Nazi Totenkopf. Now, that doesn't mean that it wasn't intended by the filmmakers to be a Nazi Totenkopf. So it's kind of an ambiguous grey area. edit: While I am hardly a historian, my understanding is that Totenkopfs were somewhat common in military symbolism prior to their widespread use by the Nazis. This widespread use made them associated with Nazi military forces and, as a result, they aren't really used by other militaries any more.

I haven't read up on all this stuff but maybe that's the reason they're predicting that it won't overtake Avatar for the worldwide records. It may not be expected to do as well in China because of the diverse cast, whereas Avatar substituted minorities for blue cat-aliens so China ate it up.

There was some interesting Indigenous imagery in the movie, like the white body paint and the especially the paint huffing - it makes a fun meme but apparently huffing chrome spray paint is a huge problem in remote Indigenous Australian communities. I did use that SHINY AND CHROME meme to get my housemate to spray paint in his mouth though.

The War Rig is in the running for Best Actor! I don't want gender swapping in this thread people. The Rig is one of the burliest action heros to ever grace the screen. It envelopes and protects our female damsels. Its the alpha male who survives all the minor conflicts while the side characters get picked off. It charges into battle and gets the poo poo kicked out of it over and over. The War Rig/Nux Bromance is strong as the punishment the rig takes has to be constantly patched up for the next fight. And that Heroic Sacrifice. The emotion it brought to that scene was tear jerking. Count Chocula posted:I did use that SHINY AND CHROME meme to get my housemate to spray paint in his mouth though.  It was the edible chrome food paint and not actual spray paint right?

I don't really know this kind of poo poo, so I won't pretend to be an expert, but if I recall what other people had said about it then I think it was supposed to be a Prussian Totenkopf. That would make it WWI-era, pre-dating Nazism.

Thank God Disney has some artistic integrity and not everything is about money! I read that article, they took the screen shot of their poll down because Twitter polls show how many people voted and the voting ratio. That $4 million+ is based on how many visitors their website receives. But the poll was taken by only 500 people, and only about 50% of that answered yes, times that ~$8.38 average ticket price, they cost Disney $2095. And that's assuming every single one of those 250 white men between the ages of 25~40 that make up the majority of their users actually went through with it and boycotted Star Wars, as if that's even a possibility.
