Macdeo Lurjtux posted:I really liked Voices From a Distant Star, it reminded me a lot of early sixties sci-fi. That's because it's based on the 60s classic The Forever War. And yes, I absolutely held that against against the movie because it turned the mecha symbolism upside down. In the books the mechs are slow, cumbersome and more dangerous to the pilots than the aliens they were fighting. Bevause they were advanced tech the war ended up conscripting the brightest young minds and grinding them into meat. It was a based off of the author's Vietnam experience and were symbolic of this pitiless, and ultimately pointless, war machine that eventually turned into a decadent war economy. Voices of a Distant star made the mechs into zip zoom gundams. It basically glorified war.

Or was that a different Halderman novel? He writes well, but he has trouble wrapping things up and so tends to do it in an infodump.

I don't think there are any mechs in Forever War. They do prominently feature in Forever Peace. In that, they're piloted remotely by 10 or so humans all in gestalt, shared consciousness. They have to be pulled out periodically, though, since sharing that closely for too long renders a human unable to kill, their empathy gets too strong. In the end, everyone is linked and peace reigns except the hero and heroine, who can't link in due to injury.

There's powered armor, but there both immense powerful, shooting lasers out of their fingers, and ridiculously fragile, considering that a guy falls over on Charon during a training exercise, bends his radiators, and almost cooks in his suit. Mandala and company have to pull off this risky manuever where they build a rock shelter, seal it, and pump in some oxygen while another group grab a spare suit for him to switch.

I think there was also a bit where they discuss that the guy with the bent radiator fins was lucky he fell on rock, because the exterior temperature was just a few Kelvin outside of absolute zero and if he fell on the ice, his radiators would have explosively sublimated the frozen ice. Also, thinking about Voices and someone's description of Shinkai being "a walking talking missed connection craigslist post", it answers why the main character is a schoolgirl piloting a mech instead of a male character: she's Shinkai's waifu, who will be forever young while his insert (who was originally voiced by him) grows old. At least the visual novel (written by someone else, but partially illustrated by Shinkai) made Noburo a much more active character who at least volunteers to join the UN after her and joining a rescue mission to save her carrier, instead of just sending text message back and forth.

Makoto Shinkai is a very lonely, very sad man who doesn't really know how to talk to women (and one could argue anyone), his work has made that much obvious again and again. He is like the platonic ideal of the "herbivore male" trend of Japanese guys who struggle with any interaction with people not of their gender. I mean, this is a guy who got massively worried when Your Name was breaking into the top 5 films all time in Japan because it was "too successful" and was giving him anxiety about making anything else. He seems like someone who would be much happier doodling clouds and women's feet for the rest of his life in a cabin in the woods.

I mean poo poo, Spirited Away on its own is enough to forgive every terrible fan-service laden tv show of the last 17 years.

Were they really powered armor and not mechs? I could've sworn there was a bit in the book where they explain that if the mech falls over you're good as dead unless you're trained to absorb the impact because its essentially the same as falling off a multi story building. Which at the time I thought was pretty impressive because every single piece of modern media just hand-waves off the physics off getting bounced around a cockpit set at the head of a giant.

It was powered armor at least until the status bubble is developed. I remember the second iteration of the UNEF armor has the amputation irises that spring into action the moment the wearer's suit was breached, which is how Mandala and Marigay lose limbs in a battle.

There's a bit in 21st Century Boys where some characters are talking about giant robots and brings up head cockpits being a sure way to induce nausea by bouncing around just from walking.

Did not make it to the cinema in time for mother! so I watched The Foreigner instead. It was pretty good. The movie started quietly and then the story begins with extreme sudden-ness. No warning at all. Jackie Chan being a secret badass was not really hinted at either but the reveal happens almost as fast. He even does his trademark 'use object lying around as weapon' thing. I like that did they not shy away from showing Jackie Chan's age; his character gets hurt and beaten up a lot even when winning a fight, and he often wins by catching his foes off guard.

Flatliners was unfortunately pretty bland. I was either hoping it would be secretly good or else very wrongheaded. But instead, it's just a glossy remake but without the gothic feel of the original. They even set it in a basement so they could have tapped into that for more atmosphere but it still felt pretty glossy and sterile. I enjoy remakes that depart from the aesthetic of the original but when you take away the general "forbidden" feel of doing experiments in some abandoned and foreboding place and don't have the kind of menace of Keifer (Ellen doesn't even try to provide that), it's just forgettable. I'm only warm on the original but this is a lot like the Poltergeist remake where it's not incompetent but completely disposable.
