There's a difference between that and going in having read critics' opinions of the whole film, down to theme, tone, cinematography, etc. I thought the part where Kylo Ren holds the melted Darth Vader mask up to his face and says "Luke, I am your father" during the climactic fight scene was a bit too much.

It's not a Serious Issue That Matters and I get that done issue care at all, but none the less gently caress anyone who spoils media for others. Absolute garbage people.

It's very rude, but on the other hand, gently caress people who make media that's so weak that a spoiler significantly detracts from the viewing experience. Is there anyone in the past 40 years who's watched Psycho without knowing the twist? Is it quite as good as watching it "clean"? Who the gently caress knows, but it's certainly not bad even if you're not surprised.

China is the only place in the world where it comes out in like a month instead of today because China is dumb and bad, so I've accepted the internet will get me before I see it. Also I'm one of those people who thinks KOTOR2 is the only genuinely good Star Wars story so I don't care that much.

Baronjutter posted:This sounds like a serious problem, if only movies had some sort of system for letting parents have a hint regarding their content or age-appropriateness. The problem here is that the US system is completely broken, to the point where anything and everything gets an R rating because Americans are giant babies when it comes to people hearing a sweat word or seeing a titty. People are conditioned into ignoring the rating because for every R rated movie that has genuine adult violence/gore/horror there’s a perfectly fine movie that got an R rating because it has a couple of swear words in it or a nipple. For the record, Having seen Deadpool; there isn’t anything in it that I wouldn’t be perfectly happy letting a 12 year old see.

The ratings are a bit outdated. If you say gently caress more than three times, it goes from PG-13 to R.

I had trouble stopping my four year old from yelling "BUTT BANG!" Context: There's a level in Super Mario Odyssey where you have to herd a sheep around some obstacles but to get over some you have to throw your hat at it's rear to send it flying. After five minutes of trying and failing at this, my kid starts shouting "BUTT BANG!" every time I throw the hat at the sheep. And for several days afterward at random times in public for no reason at all because I laughed the first time he did it.

The simple rating system for movies today is dumb in the information age. Even the TV rating system is more nuanced.

iirc The King’s Speech rated R because the therapist discovers that Albert can speak without stuttering if he swears so there’s a scene where he says “gently caress” like ten times in a row and then there’s no swearing anywhere else in the film. That always struck me as pretty funny.

Actually they added more swears and a subplot about a clitoris and warned they'd send it with more and worse stuff until they got an R. Hence the title "Bigger Longer and Uncut"

TheScott2K posted:Rated R for Royalist garbage THIS made me laugh. I feel bad that I've attempted to catch the general "gist" of the comments from the ENTIRE orville thread at once and I was overwhelmed and I would just like some simple aggregate SA ideas about this thing. AT first I thought it was the "un-funniest-trying too hard, good special effects but not any real story" like they couldn't figure out if they wanted to be a comedy or straight up Star Trek. It wasn't funny. The first couple episodes seemed to attempt to hit Original star trek levels of important topics and try to light them up in an absurd way.(which I think is one of the absolute most important functions of fantasy and sci-fi overall) And for a couple weeks I really hated it for being so bad when it could have been so good! And then it randomly got a little bit better. But still, I'm confused.. they had such a good idea for the season ender and there are lots of parts that I really like, particularly the David Bowie Futurists coming back up to meet them and telling them "yep, we grew out of that religion crap. It didn't matter that YOU did it in particular. We would have worshiped some other dumb poo poo til we figured it out". That was some DEEP poo poo for network tv!! Yet still the entire presentation is just missing something and it definitely didn't punch like that Kirk and Uhura kissing moment. Maybe the male-only race was as obvious as the Black/White vs. White/Black people from Orginal trek but it didn't END in any satisfying way. LIke, how is this cheesier that TNG with better graphics and a higher budget, newer more experienced writers, and *some* better actors? The flatland episode could have expanded some minds, but MEH it was MEH like every episode is MEH. I feel like if you were ten and you watched that episode - would you gone to bed understanding the difference between 2d and 3d life? Is this show funny or Hopeful or funny/hopeful, or just bad?  It hurts my brain because I know the people making it want it to be awesome and I have such a hopeful bone in my body!!

If baby Rudolph in the crib at the end didn't punch you right in the gut, I don't know what to tell you. The other episode is about the expansion of "soda guy who humps statues" into a three-dimensional character who has ideas and feelings and a back story. John Malloy can really contribute something more than a dumb joke.

Because that was a random moment of pretty weird and obnoxious character fixin's (that was a good thing) but what I was talking about was the difference in the conceptional ideas of 2d and 3d and 4d space.
