glam rock hamhock posted:I mean it's hosed that hunters are the ones putting major money into animal conservation but right now it really is them or nothing. People that act pissed about it aren't putting nearly as money into helping the animals as hunters are. It doesn't help that the local governments tend to not want to deal with the hassle of dealing with protecting animals because they have far more pressing poo poo to worry about so if they don't have the resources, they won't bother. If you're talking about African big game hunting this isn't actually true btw, the revenue for regular 'looking at animals and not killing them' tourism still puts way more money into conservation than hunting does. The hunting reservations also definitely don't just send people after 'problem' or 'terminally ill animals' either, they tend to be run with little oversight and no marked borders between the supposed reservation and the wilderness beyond.

twerking on the railroad posted:In other news, how exactly did the Deathwish remake get greenlighted? On paper, it actually makes a lot of sense. Violent, R-rated action movies have been doing gangbusters lately, between the John Wicks, the Kingsmans, Deadpool, and the horde of imitators that have all come and gone. Bruce Willis isn't as much of a draw as he used to be, but he's still a name just about everybody recognizes. Death Wish is a loving iconic IP, and Charles Bronson's character from the originals is pretty much synonymous with the idea of vigilante justice to a lot of people. On top of that, if you want a gory, nasty movie, Eli Roth is generally your huckleberry, and if you're willing to look at the social climate cynically enough, now is exactly the right time to target something at right-wing fucksticks if you want to milk money out of them. It honestly seems like an incredibly safe bet, if anything, and I sort of feel bad for the execs who signed off on it and are now having it blow up in their face.

Yeah, "Good guy with a gun" is extremely relevant right now. The Wikipedia plot description says the film will delve into "is he a hero or a dangerous crazyperson?" territory but who knows if they'll do more than pay lip service to the idea or actually dig into it.

Honestly if it were anybody else than Willis in the role, I'd be more inclined to believe the movie would be ambiguous about the protagonist. But Willis has pretty much given up on portraying any real kind of complexity. I'm thinking it's gonna be a lot of "rah rah how cool is this?" But then again somebody in the action movie thread mentioned that Paul Kersey should have been played by Bob Odenkirk in the remake, and the prospect of that kind of cut the knees out of this new flick from jump street for me anyway, because it would have been so much better with him in the role.

The amount of money hunting brings into Africa is gently caress all in comparison to tourists wanting to y'know, see the animals alive in their natural habitats. quote:(Safari Club Internationl) SCI’s claims are based on a commissioned study by consultants Southwick Associates. This study estimated the economic benefits of trophy hunting in eight African countries – Botswana, Ethiopia, Mozambique, Namibia, South Africa, Tanzania, Zambia and Zimbabwe (Southwick, 2015). They claim that the overall economic benefit from their estimated 18,815 trophy hunter visits is $USD 426 million to the studied eight countries, and that trophy hunting directly and indirectly supports 53,000 jobs. $426 million for all 8 countries for hunting. Just looking at figures for a single country on that list (because it's the first listed), Botswana; tourism brought in $573.5 million in 2016. South Africa pulls in about $8 billion a year. Suggesting hunting makes any sort of monetary impact is hilariously wrong.

The thing I'd usually pair it with is the original Dirty Harry, though I've not watched either in some time so I'm not sure how they'd actually compare.

The sequels, especially the third film, really gave the Death Wish series that rap. The fourth film at least makes things ambiguous by having Kersey bankrolled and directed by a secret drug lord.

Magnum Force is really the best Dirty Harry movie because it gives Callahan his wish.

I remember the bad guys in three being fairly multicultural, but at the same time, they all looked like they'd wandered in from the set of The Road Warrior as well.  I've never been able to decide if that one is a deliberate parody or not. You've got stuff like Kersey going out of his way to set up situations where he'll have an excuse to shoot guys with his giant gun, then there's that bit at the end where Kersey is out mowing down "the Creeps" with his belt-fed machine-gun like he's Rambo and all the other people watching him instantly go and get their guns so they can join in.

You should watch Electric Boogaloo, it implies that while the writer and director might have been in on it, the producers most definitely weren't.

I've seen Electric Boogaloo but, again, it's been a while since I watched it so I'd need to give it another look sometime. I recall hearing that Michael Winner, the director, was pretty dreadful to Marina Sirtis on the set of Death Wish 3 but I've heard Winner was a bit of a nasty piece of work.

It's a cast that includes Bill & Ted's Alex Winter and Aliens' Rico Ross, being led by Gavan O'Herlihy, i.e. Chuck Cunningham from "Happy Days" and son of Dan O'Herlihy, the Old Man from RoboCop . It's a diverse cast. Wheat Loaf posted:I've never been able to decide if that one is a deliberate parody or not.

The scene where the Jewish couple gets their peashooter taken away by the NYPD, then cutting to their apartment being robbed is pretty clear where the film's politics lie.

I believe that Sirtis has said she was grateful for Deanna Troi on ST:TNG because she was tired of getting nude and doing rape scenes, specifically Death Wish 3, where she was naked on the floor while shooting that scene.

They actually did a whole thing later in TNG where Troi stops wearing just jumpsuits and has to start wearing a uniform and be an actual bridge officer. Picard is off doing something else and so they get Captain Dick Jones who tells her to start acting like an officer. This culminated in her taking an exam where the answer to the test was to kill Geordi.

It was a command exam where the solution was to send someone on a task that you knew would result in their death. IIRC specifically it was an area flooded with radiation that had critical equipment that needed to be repaired, hence sending Geordi in.

Someone who is good at reading people's emotions, yet not even psychic. I've seen it written that in other words, Troi was on the bridge to provide a woman's perspective. The other officers Picard could turn to on the bridge are either unfeeling androids or varying shades of machismo or military. Yes, I'm not forgetting Tasha.muscles like this! posted:It was a command exam where the solution was to send someone on a task that you knew would result in their death.
