What make the 4th stim stuff "comedy worth" is the complete lack of undestanding of real torture methodology, science and logic, like pain mesurable in units, electricty having flavors, the possibility of being penectomised multiple time (do they do it by inches ?) and arbitrary de-skeletonization on a specific day of the year.

Good horror writing has pacing, tension, build-up and reveal, like a magic trick that make you puke at the last moment. The Stimpire, as written, are just plastic toys ripping into each others, nothing really horrific there, just bad torture porn.

If CIG stopped making those 10fortheX and whatever-the-Verse for a week or two, this thread would turn on itself like a pack of rabid dogs for lack of external entertainment :ohdear:

i suggest next time we start having the munchies for each other, one of the posters who produced somethign worthwhile in the thread (be it art, video, song lyrycs, poetry, effort posts, ect) has the right to pick a theme or form of media. Every post following that declaration must follow the decided format untill the end of the page.

Eightaces and D_smart are exempt.

Maybe we can get some "art trough adversity" out of that.

But I could never figure out the connection to CIG. The horse is actually owned by the ruling family of Dubai.

Sure.

A few hundred hundred pages back someone pontificated that when all this is said and done will be like the scene in "Wolf of Wall Street" when they raid the office.

Myself on the other hand had thought back to the hooker scene. Where the Titanic dude was snorting coke out of a hooker's rear end.

And naturally, thanks to logical conclusions and 4th Stimpire the imagery of Lesnick being the hooker and well you know who snorting fell in place.

Try to erase that image from your memory.

There are actors on board capable of splendid performances. The commander of the fleet is played by David Warner, who brings utter believability to, alas, banal dialogue. Two of the other officers, played by Tcheky Karyo and Prochnow, are also fine; I'd like to see them in a real Navy movie. Prinze shows again an easy grace and instant likeability. Matthew Lillard, as a hotshot pilot named Maniac, gets into a daredevil competition with the Holder character, and I enjoyed their energy. And the perfectly named Saffron Burrows has a pleasing presence as the head of the pilot squadron, although having recently seen her in a real movie (Mike Figgis' "The Loss Of Sexual Innocence,'' at Sundance), I assume she took this role to pay the utility bills.

These actors, alas, are at the service of a submoronic script and special effects that look like a video game writ large. "Wing Commander'' arrives at the end of a week that began with the death of the creator of "2001: A Space Odyssey.'' Close the pod bay door, Hal. And turn off the lights.
Can't wait to see some of crobobbles mocap garbage so we can repost this after doing the appropriate find/replace on the actors' names
