They have to make a Duke Nukem movie because there hasn't been any big John Carpenter/Evil Dead/Arnold flicks for them to take dialogue from for a long time so they're just cutting out the middleman for the next game.

Watch ash vs the evil dead if you want to know what a modern Duke nukem should be like.

The problem is Ash as a character is purposefully a macho buffoon and the show/films are very self aware about that. He's a magnificent bastard crossed with a trailer park lothario.

DN games on the other hand has always played it straight. I don't think I've ever seen the games ever have humor at his expense. He's basically a teenagers idea of how a macho man would command respect, fear, and the adoration of women for no reason at all other than being macho and crude.

If you tried to make Duke into Ash you'd alienate the very maladjusted men he appeals to in the first place.

Duke wasn't all that anti-PC back in the day, aside from the stripper-tipping and referring to women as "babes" (and sort of a commodity). It was largely about Duke's comically exaggerated hyper-masculinity. Then Duke Forever had to get released and it's just other characters pathetically fellating you (occasionally literally) and just an incredibly gross and unfunny atmosphere.

In a complaint issued Thursday, the Justice Department claimed that tens of millions of dollars were diverted from a Malaysian government investment fund to produce "Dumb and Dumber To" and "Daddy's Home."

It's part of what prosecutors say was an enormous international fraud: Corrupt officials and financiers stole $4.5 billion from 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB) between 2009 and 2015, laundering the money through a series of shell companies with bank accounts in the United States and abroad.

Similar to what happened with Wolf of Wall Street. Also CNN has autoplay videos because they are awful and dumb.

Deep under Area 69, a covert team of scientists genetically engineers the perfect fighting machine. But when someone's old 80s Action Movie usb gets lumped in with elite cybercommando training files, the Duke: NUKE-EM project gives birth to something amazing.

I still wish they went with the idea for Zootopia of their "Disney" movies having tons of human characters instead of anthropomorphic animals. Like they when they were looking at the bootleg DVDs briefly you'd see The Lion King but it would be some dude standing on a cliff instead of Simba etc.

Was it Grindhouse/Death Proof when most people sorta sussed this out? Because I find that's when he REALLY calls attention to it, which in turn is kind of a self indictment since the film is partly about a man imposing his desires on women.

I really don't understand foot fetishists. Like I just can't see how anyone could look at feet and find them attractive in any way.

Anyway, Jada Pinkett Smith is apparently not very happy with the Tupac biopic. Basically saying that the movie just plain makes up a bunch of scenes involving her relationship with him.

Fetishes are illogical and arbitrary by definition, there isn't really anything to understand about them. The idea that they have some deep symbolic significance or offer insight into a person's personality or background is popular among writers for obvious reasons but it has no real basis in reality.

GBS is making fun of feet right now and apparently, there is actual evidence of brain dysfunction in foot fetishists that indicate it's not absolutely uh, normal. Something about the areas where the body 'maps' itself. erogenous zones and feet are very, very close together and crosstalk between the parts apparently happens in some people in a way that doesn't happen with a lot of other fetishism

I'm going to go see The Mummy despite the ratings because I really want to see where they drive this thing, even if it is off a cliff. I just want to see what Monster Avengers would even look like.

Speaking of which is the original Mummy franchise the weakest of the Universal line? I powered through the Blu-Rays last weekend and the later sequels kind of suck, more than I would have expected. The first two are both good, the third is alright, and the last two are worse retreads of the third. The titles also have gently caress all to do with anything in the plot. Bride of Frankenstein, Son of Frankenstein, and Dracula's Daughter at least adequately describe what they're about.

Edit: Oh, and they further stunk up the last one by deciding to have a black character named Gooby who runs around yelling stuff like " Massah massah I'm scared!"

To me, not a great thread but anyways the only evidence I saw in it is that someone quoted this

quote:

Long before Ramachandran began his work on phantom limb syndrome, it had been noted that the brain areas associated with genitalia and feet are adjacent to each other in the brain's body image map. But no one else had put 2 and 2 together and realized that foot fetishes could possibly result from cross-wiring in the brain between the foot and the genital parts.
which mostly brings up like /pol/ & forums posts quoting it but the source seems 2 be a livescience article that cites Ramachandran's pop-sci book so googling his book brings up

" a blog where a guy read that book im not readin a book, personally posted:

I came across a ‘homunculus’ (little man) diagram which appeared to explain why some people experience foot fetishes. Apparently a prominent scientist, Wilder Penfield, discovered how sensation from certain parts of the body mapped to areas of the brain in the 1940s and 1950s. Using electrodes (placed on anesthetized humans rather than unwilling monkeys, somewhat against the trend), Penfield was able to locate a strip of brain real estate along which sensory perception was focused. Whilst most of these mappings were in logical order (hands next to thumbs, lips next to face), sensations from the genitalia were mapped right next to the feet, leading to the deduction that in some humans the two might be confused, leading to the titular foot fetish.
So ehhhh, the evidence is him seeing that they're near each other according to a 50s study & going "could be????" which...maybe...but not rly what you said. But now we all know...now we are all slightly wiser in the world of pop science/foot fetishes

After Aatrek and Schmorky I would figure everyone would be okay with whatever fetish as long as it only involved adult humans.
