A Common Core gag? Hmmmmfph I didn't enjoy that as much as I thought...here's hoping I'm just having a bad day or something. \/\/\/\/ Ever since I had kids I've noticed that there's this really stupid underlying current of "yeah it's incredibly hard to raise kids, ha ha it will make you crazy and miserable and stressed and tired, ha ha isn't this funny?" in our media and it's like no, it loving sucks our society is atomized and lovely like this.

I'm sure it'll be great and all, but the one thing you can do to turn me off from your property is to increase the amount of family drama and kid-rearing.

Really, the conceit is 'dad has to be a parent'? Are they making this for 70 year olds? That theme plays in 80s sitcoms, but an animated feature film in 2018....ya ok

Well, the theme of the first one was "Mom has to be a parent." Kind of. Look, Pixar hasn't been great since 2006, this is about as good as its going to get.

Ratatouille came out in 2007, Wall-E in 2008, and Up was 2009... so what the hell are you talking about? If anything 2007-10 was the strongest run in the studio's history, and all the projects that were released in that stretch were well into production before 2006 when Disney purchased Pixar outright.

BonoMan posted:New Ready Player One trailer. LOL I absolutely lost it at the nerds running down the sidewalk in VR goggles. Making even a barely coherent movie with some sort of plot that it's 100% nonsensical and just a string of cliches and references out of what is certainly the worst piece of fiction of the last hundred years will be the pinnacle of Spielberg's career in terms of difficulty if he pulls it off. edit: Second Life showed us what a virtual "world of pure imagination" looks like. It's horsedicks. Horsedicks everywhere.

BonoMan posted:New Ready Player One trailer. Looks like something a ten-year-old would think up. When I was 10 I had this idea of a super-hero that would switch between powers derived from different video game franchises - Mega Man's arm cannon, Samus Aran's ball, Mario's jumping etcetera. Perhaps I should have written a book about it and gotten rich from nerds desparate for something validating their life choices. EDIT: Captain N live action adaptation when?

It's telling that the main quest in the book is supposed to be full of 80s nerd references, but does not contain a single Nintendo reference. Why? Because Ernest Cline doesn't like Nintendo. I don't know why nerds in general like it so much when it only panders to Cline's kind of nerd. If anything, Spielberg's bring the book to the mass market by adding in broader nerd references.

Maybe not in grand style, but the reaction from everyone seems to be pretty negative so far.

I like most, if not all, of the things referenced in that movie. But I don't think they should ever be in a movie together. Especially one that is constantly nudging the viewer gently in the ribs with regards to fourth wall breaking nostalgia.

Reminder that Ernest Cline wrote this I've noticed that there don't seem to be any porno movies that are made for guys like me. All the porn I've come across was targeted at beer-swilling sports bar dwelling alpha-males Men who like their women stupid and submissive Men who can only get it up for monosyllabic cock-hungry nymphos with gargantuan breasts and a three-word vocabulary Adult films are populated with these collagen-injected liposuctioned women Many of whom have resorted to surgery and self-mutilation in an attempt to look the way they have been told to look. These aren't real women. They're objects. And these movies aren't erotic. They're pathetic. These vacuum-headed gently caress bunnies don't turn me on. They disgust me. And it's not that I'm against pornography. I mean, I'm a guy. And guys need porn. Fact. "Like a preacher needs pain, like a needle needs a vein," Guys need porn. But I don't wanna watch this misogynist he-man woman-hater porn. I want porno movies that are made with guys like me in mind: Guys who know that the sexiest thing in the world is a woman who is smarter than you are. You can have the whole cheerleading squad, I want the girl in the tweed skirt and the horn-rimmed glasses: Betty Finnebowski, the valedictorian. Oh yes. First I want to copy her Trig homework, and then I want to make mad, passionate love to her for hours and hours until she reluctantly asks if we can stop because she doesn't want to miss Battlestar Galactica. Summa cum laude, baby! That is what I call erotic. But do you ever see that kind of a woman in a contemporary adult film? No. Which is why I'm going to start writing and directing Geek Porno. I shall be the quintessential Nerd Porn Auteur. And the women in my porno movies will be the kind that drive nerds like me mad with desire. I'm talking about the girls that used to gently caress up the grading curve. The girls in the Latin Club and the National Honor Society. Chicks with weird clothes, braces, four eyes, and 4.0 GPAs. Brainy articulate bookworms, with MENSA cards in their purses and chips on their shoulders. My porn starlets will come in all shapes and sizes. My porn starlets will be too busy working on their PhD to go to the gym. In my kind of porno movies the girls wouldn't even have to get naked. They'd just take the guys down to the rec room and beat them repeatedly at chess and then talk to them for hours about Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle or the underlying social metaphors in the Aliens movies. Buy stock in some hand cream companies because there is about to be a major shortage. And I'm not just talking about straight porn. Oh no. There should be gently caress films for my nerd brethren of all sexual orientations. Gay nerd porn flicks with titles like "Dungeons and Drag-queens." This idea is a loving gold mine. I am gonna make millions, because this country is full of database programmers and electronics engineers and they aren't getting the loving they so desperately need. And you can help . . . If you're an intelligent woman is interested in breaking into the adult film industry, and if you can tell me the name of Luke Skywalker's home planet, then you are hired. It doesn't matter if you think you're overweight or unattractive. It doesn't matter if you don't think you're beautiful. You are beautiful. . . And I will make you a star.

Yikes, I could see that first trailer tricking people into thinking Ready Player One would be cool, but that whole "I discovered friendship, and love" bit was the corniest writing I've ever seen. "Boy, this writer can't get any worse" I wrongly thought to myself as I began to scroll down.

BonoMan posted:New Ready Player One trailer. So there were two movies that Spielberg could have made for his next (likely final) big sci-fi film. The first was a script written by Jonathan Nolan for Spielberg. It explored scientific concepts further than any other film I can think of, specifically time travel, human nature, and humanity's place in the universe. It made some big, bold statements, ultimately deciding that humanity was found wanting and would only be able to survive by their own ingenuity. An excellent script, perhaps one of the best early drafts I've ever read. The other was Ready Player One. Spielberg chose... poorly. (The Nolan script got it its second half severely rewritten and ended up being directed by his brother. If you haven't read the Spielberg draft of Interstellar, I cannot recommend it highly enough. I was so, so disappointed by the final film). asecondduck fucked around with this message at 22:25 on Feb 15, 2018 |
