fart blood posted:My other unpopular opinion....Animal House isn't that great. Yet I think PCU is loving hilarious. I love Animal House but some of the humor is a bit cringy today. Not to the level of Revenge of the Nerds but there are a few moments where I'm like "OK, I'm a Dad now and...uh..." loving PCU though. Holds up, still funny, and the natural jackassery of Jeremy Piven is just right for the character.

My unpopular opinion is that the movie industry has more original and cool new ideas than ever and the people whining about "IT'S ALL SUPERHEROES AND REMAKES!" aren't actually looking for good movies to watch but just wanna whine.

fart blood posted:My unpopular opinion: I thought Black Panther was terrific, but woke white people saying poo poo about how they cried watching it and how important it was really annoyed the piss out of me. The thing is Black Panther and Thor: Ragnarok have almost exactly the same plot. I prefer Black Panther because it’s not tryhard goofy but I still like Thor: Ragnarok because it was a heavy metal album cover come to life as it should have been instead of the Shakespeare drama they tried to make the first one.

The Last Jedi was great and tbh if that were the one good movie the current industry made I'd be fine with it

Another one: Outside of actively disgusting/evil works (outright propaganda, works of active hatred, disgusting explotation films) it's really really stupid to get actually mad about works of art. Like it's totally cool and normal to dislike/mock a movie, but getting so loving angry that you scream and shout about how a Star Wars/DC/Marvel movie is bad is deeply embarrassing.

I also liked The Last Jedi and don't really understand the argument that it turned expectations on its head in a bad way but then Infinity War gets praised for turning expectations on its head in a good way. But don't get it twisted, I liked Infinity War way more. In fact I don't really like the Star Wars movies nearly as much as other series like The Matrix, all of the MCU and my personal favorite - The Lord of the Rings.

Annihilation was (apparently, I didn't see it, whoops I'm part of the problem) a really smart, well made movie with a diverse cast of smart, competent female leads and it loving bombed, sooooooo, that says enough about American movie audiences right there I think. Anyway any Great Lakes goons, what's a good theme park to go to that's reasonable to get to from the Detroit-ish area? I kinda wanna take my dad and little sister to one and I was thinking Cedar Point but someone a couple pages back said it's super overrated.

Beef Jerky Robot posted:Annihilation also had like no marketing Yeah, a lot of people need to place more blame on the marketing than on the audiences. Annihilation had like one trailer and a handful of TV spots? Of course it flopped, the studio had no faith in it. I bet even money Hgeriditary's gonna be THE horror movie of the summer and makes good money.

I phrased that poorly, I didn't mean it as a slight against audience intelligence, I just meant it in support of the sentiment expressed earlier that people who complain that there's only superhero movies and remakes aren't doing the legwork to support it when a very good original movie comes along. People should watch what they wanna watch, period, people aren't stupid for wanting to sit in an air conditioned place and enjoy something fun for a few hours. Also, some of those superhero movies are pretty drat well-made and some of them have some genuine intelligence and emotion under the hood, so.

I cried at the end of Blockers! and then I laughed at John Cena’s very large, muscular rear end. I cry very easily at entertainment these days now that I can see myself in a lot of these characters! live your best life

Chris O'Donnell turned down the Will Smith role in Men in Black because he thought it was the sidekick role instead of the main character, and he'd just been Robin for two movies.

It was a good but heavily flawed film. similar to microwaved hot dogs that are shriveled and split open, with hunts ketchup on it, slice of crustless white bread for a bun. being forcefully mashed into a mans eye sockets

a while ago i started playing The Witcher 3 after not playing the first 2. everyone says this game is great. i don't know anything about this guy i am and some woman comes up to me and asks me a question about the things i did in the last game and i have no loving idea. i pick something and she gets pissed off at me. i don't want to roleplay as this fuckin guy because i don't know this guys life. so i stopped playing it.

The only good things about Witcher are the hosed up monsters/creatures, the sidequests being pretty good, and I guess the scenery. Gameplay is really paint by numbers and trying to roleplay as geralt is difficult because from the beginning he has been this cool badass sexy charming strong boy power fantasy thing more than a character. It's like if everybody took the main character from Hunt Down the Freeman and said it owns unironically

also one time in a thread i said the girl with white hair was the cutest girl in the game and people treated me like a sex criminal because apparently that is Geralt's adopted daughter. i don't know anything about this Geralt guy and i just met the girl and she's clearly the cutest one. i'm not Geralt. don't make me roleplay as Geralt. let me hit on this girl.
