You have Cars as well. Cars 2 couldn't even play into the tournament and I'm okay with that. But yeah, the seeding is hosed and ultimately it should be something like Moana vs. Inside Out / Up, and Lin-Manuel Miranda graciously allows the Pixar film to win and we all learn a little bit about friendship along the way.

What kind of fucktard doesn't use classic era Disney in this kind of comparison? Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, Jungle Book, The Rescuers, and motherfucking Fantasia should have been on that list.

I saw Annihilation last night and I really, really enjoyed it. I think my one problem with the movie was that none of the characters ever use a flashlight, ever. Natalie Portman uses night goggles that one time when the bear first shows up, but that's the only use of low-light equipment. They went in there to study poo poo! Don't they want to actually see what it is they're looking at? I dunno, maybe I just have terrible night vision.

I can't remember the exact details, but in the book, they say something about the Area X loving with modern technology, which is why they gotta use outdated poo poo when they go in, like notebooks, but if she used a night vision goggle then I don't know.

Captain America: The Winter Soldier It seems weird that a museum has an exhibit about a guy whos still alive and still doing the kinds of things that made him famous in the first place. And the museum is in the same city where this guy lives and works. Also, unrelated: according to Steve's list at the beginning, he still hasn't gotten around to watching Star Wars yet. But later on, he implies that he has seen Wargames. This doesn't irritate me, I'm actually kind of impressed with Cap's priorities. Just not sure why he would do this.

And that the museum probably saw a brief attendance boost after Cap was found. But in the time since, he helped stop am alien invasion in New York and several other super heros now exist. Is there still that much interest in his WW2 adventures?

I mean, I think it was just a section of the Smithsonian. So yeah they would still have a section devoted to him in their World War 2 section.

If you're gonna devote a section of museum to a guy, having a section when he was just punching Nazis in the face instead of aliens seems believable enough.

They explicitly said that electronics work fine though. All navigation and communication equipment just couldn't get a signal cause the shimmer scrambled it. So yeah, not using flashlights or, you know, the loving night vision goggles for more than 3 seconds doesn't really make sense. Im always a bit annoyed about the whole "no one is coming back, we have no idea whats going on in there!" thing stories like this always use. loving send someone in to check! No not on a multi week expedition, send someone in, have him take some pictures and samples, get right out again. In and out within an hour. Get some rough data and keep doing deeper expeditions as time goes on. Put a loving basecamp directly behind the barrier if you wan't to study long term effects. You know, in sight of the outside world and poo poo. Oh you can't keep radio contact? How about using a loving cable then? Won't work either? How about transmitting via light pulses or a computer controlled semaphore system. So many ways to get around the whole "the barrier blocks poo poo" problem. Yes i understand that it's a better story this way but its just an annoying trope. Good movie though, pretty as gently caress. Shai-Hulud has a new favorite as of 09:38 on Mar 28, 2018 |

Shai-Hulud posted:Well yeah. And if your mission is to just get samples and return you just get out at that point. Getting in the Area X is already almost an arcane ritual, and getting out is almost impossible, and that specific mission was also all but faded to failure from the start as the Psychologist had no intention of returning or letting anyone else do. I don't know if the movie glossed on this, but one thing about the Southern Reach is that almost everyone in charge of it is already nuts in some kind of way, some by the influence of the Area X, some just because they have their own obsessions. The second book is focused on how the whole place is a bureaucratic nightmare with secrets over secrets and no one is really sure of what anything does or is supposed to do, and the people from outside the Southern Reach also aren't the most reliable.
