The only movie I walked out of was Paul Blart 2. For some reason I remembered liking the first, but I forgot that I was in 8th grade at the time.

I would never walk out on a movie. If I'm not enjoying it, I start screaming and masturbating until I'm having a good time.

It's bad but it has some moments where i'm not wishing I was dead instead of watching it. I've seen a lot of bad comedy movies but I think the worst has got to be "are we done yet" with ice cube and dr cox from scrubs. Really any movie that has bad cgi woodland animals laughing or talking or fighting someone is really bad and nobody should watch it. The only exceptions are the air buddies movies, which are all masterpieces. Anyway, re: cats being indicators of mental issues, I mostly agree but I think a far more reliable indicator that someone is weird as hell is if they have a bidet (in america). Fortunately I've only met a couple but they are real weird about it, like they have to bring it up to every guest and they seem very eager to get you to poo poo in their house so you can try it out. It's really weird. Same goes for people with the "squatty potty". Stop talking about making GBS threads, keep it to yourself. This probably isn't unpopular among normal people but I know a lot of goons rave about bidets so I figured it would be unpopular here at least.

The only movie I left was Tarantino's "Death Proof." I was always ok with "Tarantino dialog" and had enjoyed his movies, but you know how sometimes if you eat or drink something to excess and throw up your brain gets re-wired to hate what ever made you throw up? The dialog in Death Proof was so bad, the characters so insufferable and awful and trying so so hard to be cool it forced me out. Except now I can't enjoy other decent Tarantino movies because even light amounts of his style of dialog trigger me and I just get really really angry.

Also Joss Weadon has ruined "quips" for me too. The moment characters start "quipping" in a movie I'm pretty much done  So pretty much all nerd movies are out for me.

On that, marvel movies are uninspired cookie cutter plot movies with decent action sequences and just enough plot to be bearable, but God drat if that obligatory 'everyone gets on center stage and poses all cool like so that we can remember who all the characters are in case we forgot in the last ten seconds' doesn't get old. Not that the movies are terrible, they're just not as great as everyone makes them out to be

I think that most of Frank Miller's early success as a comic book artist can be attributed to Klaus Janson's inking. Since they stopped regularly collaborating Miller's art has gotten more abstract and arguably worse in technique. Meanwhile, nearly anyone who has their work inked by Janson ends up producing images that almost identical to heyday Miller a'la The Dark Knight Returns. In fact, I would go so far as to say that much of Miller's success, period, is due in thanks to Janson.

This is impossible to prove but I have a firm suspicion that all of the most important people in history were actually trans. Ramses II, Plato, Julius Caesar, Cleopatra, Boudica, Charlemagne, Joan of Arc, King Henry VIII, William Shakespeare: all trans, fierce and proud and free. Also, in ancient times, trans people were worshipped as gods and goddesses, living manifestations of the Divine, which is beyond gender. This will happen again in the future, perhaps within our own lifetimes. Cis people, y'all better take a good look at yourselves. Perhaps you too are beyond gender and don't even know it. Shed your mask and costume and come join us.

There was absolutely no need for all the sequels to 2001: A Space Odyssey that (over) explained everything. Part of what makes the original movie so good is the ambiguity that allows you to form your own theory about the film's message. 2010 and the subsequent sequels are like telling a good joke and then spending five minutes explaining the punchline.

My problem with BttF 2 is that we start off in this fun weird future world...but only stay there for a short while before moving on to an alternate 1985 where everything is all lovely and dirty. Then we stay in this weird alternate 1985 where Biff rules from a casino palace....but only for a short time before we go back to boring old 1955. Two fun universes to explore but we only see a glimpse before we go back to the same poo poo we saw in the first movie.

Actually, if you read the book, almost all of the ambiguity of 2001 is explained, without needing to read any of the sequels.

PHUO: 2001 is an exercise in projection of ego in the same vein of minimalist abstraction in fine art. Minimalism is left so devoid of meaning that it kicks in the apopheniac tendencies of the brain and one can project profound purpose onto a blank slate of color. But given the sensibilities of your average art critic, this is almost always a self-elevating purpose in that they see something because they are superior. The answer is not one of assigning purpose, but of obvious and inherit purpose to the "trained" eye. If you don't share their opinion, it demonstrates your inferiority. 2001 works the same way, but isn't quite as confident in the projection of ego since film is a fledgling symbol of aristocracy whereas high art has been literally defined by it. So 2001 gives it's audience a gentle push by filtering void through another bit of aristocracy, the classical waltz. Perhaps not coincidentally, Blue Danube, a piece with satirical elements extending back as far as the 1800's. So seeing void with the suggestion of classical music, the music of the intelligent and cultured, the audience assigns profound meaning to void the same way that art critic does with that slab of color: they fill it with ego. They come away with the sense that they too are cultured and superior for having seen meaning in the void. Now knowing Kubrick's meticulous nature, I'm pretty confident this was all intentional. It's hideously clever, just not in the way people generally think 2001 is. And of course the special effects are masterful as gently caress.
