snergle posted:i should of clarified it with s1-s2 of xfiles I tried to rewatch and couldnt get out of s1 IMO, the X-Files doesn't start getting *really* good until "Clyde Bruckman's Final Repose" in season three, which I think is when they first fully embraced that the show could and should be funny as hell at times while keeping the other aspects intact. The first two seasons certainly had their moments, but I always thought the show was at it's best when they sort of messed around with the structure a bit or got a little meta. Helps that the characters and mythos were firmly established at that point, of course. The trade-off is that at some point in the later seasons they kinda started running out of ideas, and while the dialogue and direction were as good as ever, the plots themselves could get pretty stupid and repetitive. Season three is also great for the presence of "Syzygy", which is high school horror done right, and "Jose Chung's 'From Outer Space'", which may just be a perfect hour of television.

So I'm re-watching The Martian. Watney is stuck on Mars with nowhere near enough food to survive without growing crops-- a difficult prospect, as there are no natural bacteria on Mars to aid in fertilization. As he puts it, "I'm going to need to science the poo poo out of this." So what does he do? He takes the vacuum-sealed poop that he and his fellow astronauts had been keeping in a box outside the Hab and he does stuff to mix it into a viable fertilizer. Watney did exactly what he said he'd need to do: he scienced the poo poo.

Something I didn't quite get with the Martian. When he preps the rover for his final journey, he cuts a hole in the roof and seals it with HAB material. This create a bubble on the rover when the interior pressurizes. In the book, the rovers had airlocks, but not in the movie. Yet the bubble is still there even when the cabin depressurizes.

All those rover mods made way more sense in the book. I saw the movie and loved it enough to buy the book afterward. I appreciated that they had to cut some stuff for the adaption, but it seems like they kept all the rover modification stuff because it was cool, and removed half the reasons he needed all of it in the first place. A+ movie and book both IMO. At this point I'm so used to Hollywood dumbing science stuff down to the point where it ceases to make any sense at all so in the end I'm pretty happy with what was kept/added to make it a little more movie-ish.

He still gets super pissed at that and is profoundly selfish. But the series seems to be building toward some sort of redemption or reconciliation. Not sure at this point.

There is a hell of a lot of thematic whatsis in Zootopia, but here's a subtle one that's very easy to miss: When Nick grabs a handful of blueberries from Judy's truck, he wraps them in a red cloth he's carrying. It's his scout neckerchief. He then uses it to do first aid on Judy when she's hurt.

An old one from Demolition Man. We all know that whenever John Spartan swears he gets fined one credit for 'violation of the verbal morality statute'. But I just noticed that when Huxley swears about her boss at the start of the film she gets fined half a credit 'for a sotto voce violation of the verbal morality statute'. Or in other words, she got fined less money because she swore under her breath and no-one heard her.

"Really good except for the Denis Leary parts" describes a lot of Denis Leary's work. Without him No Cure for Cancer is a tight half hour of Bill Hicks jokes followed by a lovely little guitar instrumental.

^^^^^ He also manipulates Solomon into getting revenge for him and (I think) judging and redeeming Christopher. But all of his good/noble actions are for people he respects and works with, he's driven more by loyalty than a heart of gold.Jedit posted:Unless you've read the comic they derived it from.

Leary is a horrible poo poo person and I wish he died instead of Greg. It sounds horrible to say that but at least the world balance would still be intact. And even if not, at least that dirtfuck would be gone.

I have a friend who swears this is a subtle movie moment, but I'm not exactly following... Big BvS spoilers ahoy! The reason that Batman makes a big fuckoff kryptonite spear is because the entire story of Superman is a Christ allegory, and in the bible Christ got stabbed with a spear to kill him. Then, later, the dirt being all floaty signals he's rising from the dead after a few days, just like Jesus did. Neither one of us kept up any clue of how long it was between death and burial though, so that one's a longer shot. I mean, I kinda get it as it did seem a bit odd that instead of making bullets or something he made a giant fuckoff spear, but I think that was more due to Synder wanting the movie to look cool, and less about some mythology he was trying to use. Synder isn't exactly subtle. Like I said, makes a weird kind of sense, but I think he's giving the director WAY too much credit on this one.

The dirt thing is a callback to Man of Steel. When he first wears the costume and is about to take off there's kind of a field around him that causes things to start floating.

Man of Steel had Superman float backwards arms outspread against the backdrop of the world after his father told him that he could save them all, and have a conversation with a priest about Jesus' feelings towards his death in front of a stained-glass window of Jesus while saying he's 33. It's a little past subtle as this point. Edit - Also Zack Snyder told CNN that they put Christ parallels in Man of Steel. https://www.cnn.com/2013/06/14/showbiz/zack-snyder-man-of-steel Diddums has a new favorite as of 17:37 on Apr 4, 2016 |
