TrixRabbi posted:A lot of Michael Haneke's works are made up of vignettes featuring the same characters at different times and locations, could check out Code Unknown or The Seventh Continent. Holy Motors is a surreal take on that, putting its main character into various situations and shorts within the film. I’ll put it on the list, I’ve been wanting to see Four Rooms for a while actually

The only part of Gummo that really upset me was when he ate the spaghetti in the bathtub. I guess I'm desensitized to most everything else, but that was gross.

HUNDU THE BEAST GOD posted:The fight in the kitchen is really disturbing to me. There's lots of disturbing things in that movie. The blaśe attitude towards the cat poisoning is pretty f'd up. Gummo does have some vicious comedy in it too tho. I love the whole dance number with the kid's mom. The actress who played here played Peewee in the movie The Wanderers so I've always been a fan. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a35iLHuquyg Also, using "autistic" as a slur against an animal you have weird issues with is pretty gross.

TrixRabbi posted:Every couple years I get the Pokemon urge and I just recently went out and bought a used copy of Pokemon X. Never played X/Y and it's pretty fun but omg the camera is terrible. Lumiose City fuckin blows, the post-game episode all takes place there and it sucks trying to navigate around the city. precision posted:For some reason X/Y didn't grab me and I'd say they're my last favorite of the games outside of Gen 1. X/Y’s story isn’t too hot, especially (from how I played it) coming off the heels of OR, which does the same kinda story but better. Also, I think having a team of frenemies is more cluttered than just having one. Re: Cutiefly, Bug types typically don’t do much damage, but Cutiefly’s strong and its fairy type gives it a strong way to play off Fighting and Dragon types. precision posted:Is Alpha Sapphire really good? Hell yes, ORAS is really good, it has some neat Pokémon hunting features and a mad dope fast-travel mechanism that I’m surprised isn’t in any other game. precision posted:She continued the abuse well into her teen years, iirc, talking about when she was 13 or so she would bribe her little sister with cookies to make out I hadn’t heard about this, Jesus.

Like all pokemon games you get access to a great feature once per gen. The random trade thing they added for XY and beyond is great and I'm glad that stuck around. I played pretty often up to Sun n Moon (havent played their sequels yet) and kept a spreadsheet of my top pokemans that I could breed for people. I'm way too dorky with pokemans.

I know Pokémon is still popular now, but it's always strange to me to remember how overwhelmingly popular it was 20 years ago. The games and the anime, yes, but the one thing that was bigger than everything else put together in my experience was the trading card game. Even people who didn't play the games or watch the cartoon went mad for those cards. But then it just seemed to stop being popular. I assume it's down to Harry Potter; I remember Pokémon being the thing everybody was into, then overnight Harry Potter was the only game in town. Do kids still go in for huge crazes like that? I remember it being Pro-Yos, then Pokémon, then Harry Potter, then that was it as far as I was paying attention. Considering where it is now, Star Wars never felt that popular by comparison even when the prequel movies were coming out. Lord of the Rings was far more popular.

The best feature so far in Ultra Moon is that you can play Prof Oak's Pro Surfer all you want and get points you can redeem for stat raising items. The only thing I don't like is that I'm on the second island and every single trainer still only has a single pokemon, sometimes two. I miss long fights. At least the rival still has several mons. Also his pikachu is a little rear end in a top hat and almost killed my Mawile. Also I just caught an Eevee

I remember when I was eight or nine, I entered this school competition and won a book token, which I used to get one of those junior readers Star Wars books that Scholastic did at the time, and I was thoroughly admonished by the other lads in my class for not using it to get one of the "novelisations" (they were less than 100 pages so I don't think they could really be called novels) of Pokémon anime episodes that were coming out at the time.

I wonder if Ultra has the Eevee sidequest where you get Eevee’s Z-crystal, which looks really cool but is kind of disappointing. Also, you’ll want to get top scores on the beaches, because you get something really dumb/awesome if you do that.

Even people who didn't play the games or watch the cartoon went mad for those cards. I don't know, this all seems pretty anecdotal. Yeah, Pokemon cards were popular amongst the, like, 10 kids in my friend group that I interacted with regularly—but they were probably also ignored or looked down on a lot by other kids who weren't quite as dorky. Star Wars was big amongst a few folks but ignored otherwise, Lord of the Rings made a pretty big splash in high school but again isolated to just a medium-sized group of dorks, I've never heard of Pro-Yos and had to Google them, Harry Potter didn't make much of a splash in my school—though then again, maybe there's a handful of folks who thought Pokemon or LotR wasn't very popular and thought everyone was obsessed with Harry Potter. I think when you're a kid your worldview is so small that you assume everyone is into the specific stuff you're into because it's so pervasive in your own life. I think Pokemon is supposed to be more popular now than ever.

I was talking about movies with my coworker, he's about 55, a friendly Tibetan guy. The conversation went like this... Him: I was in a movie once. It's about the Dalai Lama. It's called Kundun. Martin Scorsese directed it. Me:  Him: At first I was an extra but they gave me some lines. Me:  Him:Martin gave me some 1 on 1 acting lessons to prepare. Me:  Him: I got to know him a little bit. I cooked a Tibetan dinner for him one time. Me:  Him: See, here's a picture of us. Me:

The sex scene is about as uncomfortable though.
