Blue Star posted:Why is A Song of Ice and Fire held in such high esteem by people, anyway? I mean, its okay I guess. But people act like its so brilliant and unique, but the books are pretty much like every other modern fantasy series. The problem is that everyone compares it to Tolkien who had Good vs Evil, so ASoIaF looks more nuanced in comparison. But poo poo, who the gently caress unironically writes about Dark Lords and perfect infallible good guys anymore? I dunno, maybe those are still being written, I actually dont read that much, LOL. But if they are still being written, they dont seem to be as popular. Nowadays everyone brags about how their stories have shades of grey and more complicated conflicts where nobody is pure good or evil, and everythings all gritty and realistic and absolutely no "Dark Lords" or perfect elves. Thats what it seems like, anyway. Somebody correct me if Im wrong. It's supposed to have lots of rape in it and men fantasy fans really love that for some reason.

Max has probably been pouring over all the comments on youtube about him in the videos. Maybe he'll tone it down....or crank it to 11 for a gently caress you moment  ?

Joe Rogan is a sub par comedian who does stuff with MMA. -Jack Jack is almost at top tier RLM rank.

Cersei is the only one left I'm rooting for. They really bungled the casting for the ned kids imo, they're just not very good I mean, we go from Sean Bean to following three wimps I want Cersei to win. Or for the world to end

Quantum of Phallus posted:It's fairly well made but the script is DOGSHIT. Some of the worst dialogue ever and Hiddleston gives his most phoned-in performance. I'd totally  my acting for a Kong movie. If there's one ancient cultural touchstone that deserved to fall into the public domain it's King Kong.

a bone to pick posted:I don't mind Landis at all and I tihnk if you dislike him you're a homophobe Do you know that sometimes people just find people kind of irritating and there's no deep reason to it? People in this thread always say stuff like "people who don't like Jack/Josh hate him because they are just like him" which is such a bizarre leap of logic and weirdly defensive like they're taking it personally. People have different tastes and maybe Max Landis (or Jack or Josh) just isn't everybody's kind of person. He reads less gay to me than he does bipolar anyway. I don't hate the guy but I can fully understand why he annoys people because he's a bit much at times.

Max is just a Jack cranked up to 11. In order to fully tolerate Max Landis you have to dip your toes in slowly, by gradually watching more and more Pre Rec.

JediTalentAgent posted:Is it sort of fair to make that same comparison with Alan Moore's Watchmen? In the mid-80s or so, the deconstruction of flawed heroes, all of them having big hang-ups, how the heroes are really bad guys, twist endings, etc. was unique, but as time rolled on and everyone started incorporating themes like that into their comics and even in non-comics media. I'm sure people looking at Watchmen today for the first time see everything from the extremely comic book-styled layout to some of the plot developments as a "so what's so great about this?" because it's all been done several times by several forms of media, or done better. I don't think so. To be honest I remember when I tried getting into comics a few years back and I made the error of starting with Watchmen. It was only downward from there, in terms of the quality of writing, pacing, tone, world building, character development and closure Watchmen is so far beyond most other comics its embarrassing. Its not just about it being 'dark' or 'gritty' or whatever, the comic still does things that would be almost unheard of in most of today's comics. Rorschach and Nite owl are good examples, Nite Owl is a paunchy middle aged nerdlinger with erectile dysfunction, he's hopelessly uncool in a way that they'd never let a character like Batman be. Likewise Rorschach is imo really well written when you look beyond the 'You're trapped in here with me!' stuff everybody remembers with him. Really that's just kind of a veneer, he a developmentally stunted nutcase conspiracist who spends most of his time terrorising harmless old men and missing important clues, I still love that reveal when his mask gets pulled off and you see he's actually that gawky ginger who stomps up and down New York with the end is nigh placard. Again, that kind of deflating of the heroic mystique is still so strange to see, can you imagine them doing something similar to the Punisher or anyone? The use of panel layout and odd ways of worldbuilding still set it apart. Adverts, magazine articles, excerpts from (awfully well written) fictional autobiography. It just comes together to be so much more grounded than other comics. If you asked me I'd say the Dark Knight Returns is more a case of new people reading it and wondering what the big deal is, that really laid down the groundwork for the dark and gritty stuff for years to come while not really being able to stand on its own outside of the context of its time.

Collin is small Canadian, yes. Gillian is their friend from Texas, she was in Feeding Frenzy, and one ep each of HitB and Botw (Crazy Fat Ethel 2, Psycho from Texas) And upon review, I put Jessi with or right above her. Wampa Lord was right.

Watching Rogue One and Ghostbusters 2016 for the first time because I hate myself. Rogue One was worse than I expected, currently watching Ghostbusters. So far it sounds like it had a one page script that just said: IMPROV EVERYTHING. gently caress movies.

I'm sure that it probably had a real script with real jokes that Feig threw out the second he realized he could just say "Do something funny!" instead and roll 800 hours of footage and find a movie in editing.

So far it sounds like it had a one page script that just said: IMPROV EVERYTHING. I've said this before and I'll say it again: Sam Raimi probably could have done GB2016 with the same concept and actually made it work and MAYBE even instantly stopped all the initial reaction of those who were critical of the idea of the all-female team concept before it became a talking point. edit: I'll say this about Batman v. Superman having not seen in since it came out in theaters: I bet if I watched that movie with no dialogue and no sound effects and only musical backing like it were silent film, it'd be a lot better. You're sort of free to fill in the plot and dialogue and motivations in your head. A 2.5 hour AMV. JediTalentAgent fucked around with this message at 21:27 on Mar 19, 2017 |
