I feel if production on Dredd had happened three-four years later, we'd've had an awesome premium anthology series on a streaming service rather than a single movie. The comic would be prime for that, but the whole premium series thing wasn't happening then. yeah I eat rear end posted:I'd be down with a sequel if they put Rob Schneider in it to tie it together with the better one.

The reason Dredd was good is that it effectively isn't a comic book movie, it's an action movie, and if it got the treatment you talk about, that wouldn't be the case.

You can have action and you can do it in an over the top way, like the comics. I felt they were a bit conservative with the satire part of the comic, maybe because they didn't feel it would gel, but Fury Road did action and went over-the-top quite successfully. I liked Dredd, but a series would translate the comics much better.

I'm serious, if some hedge fund manager wants to spend a hundred thousand dollars getting led up a mountain by the hand by sherpas solely for the benefit of having done something that sounds impressive, and then they fuckin die when they get into "The Death Zone", so named because it's the part of the mountain where you can just fuckin die, that's not sad. It's funny and good.

The Everest threads were weird as poo poo, partially bc of the death fetishism but more so how they became their own weird rear end culture of shut in goon mountaineering experts who had never climbed a mountain, and also the weird rear end way they treated sherpa people as some kind of mountain spirit rather than, you know, actual people I have climbed several non-Everest mountains so I am qualified to judge this

Congrats on your mountaineering expertise, but PHUO: Sherpas basically are mortal mountain spirits, for our intents and purposes. PHUO: This plastic metal glass tile I'm typing on is basically sorcery, and it's, no joke, powered by the incinerated remains of plants and animals that lived hundreds of millions of years ago, which are building up at such an rapid clip that it's in an 8,000-way tie to be the thing that snuffs out all or close-to life on this planet.

It's funny and good. i gotta say that even when people with too much money die doing stupid things i can't help but feel bad because you'd have to be an immature goddamn moron to buy into things like "i can climb the tallest thing!" no it doesn't make you cool or rad and it's only a cool story to other stupid people and they only think its cool because they never learned how to embrace life in any meaningful way and they'll probably die rich and vapid and completely ignorant of the unique experience of life. there was that billionaire diamond guy who died while trying to make his dick bigger. like, you're too old to get much use out of giving women a thousand orgasms or whatever it is you think you'll be able to do. no one wants to gently caress you unless you pay them too, and they aren't going to give a poo poo about your tragic baby dick. people tell you that these things are what you should do with your life and your self esteem is too low to object. probably because of your tragic loser dong

Tubgoat posted:It was here first, we oughtta blow up the aristocrats instead. Now this I can get behind But another weird thing about those threads is how they fixated on every dead person being a literal cackling Koch brother. Like the famous Green Boots was some border guard sent on an international dickwaving climb by India. He didn’t die up there because he wanted to brag to his friends at the country club.

My Phuo is/was that the worst part of the everest thread is people arguing about what's the worst part of it. I think the dead on everest do deserve to be mocked, but not because they're rich. It's more that they're dying for something that is nothing but a more dangerous than usual tourist trap. Everest is played out. If you're going to risk dying on a mountain, go for one where the biggest danger isn't other people blocking the way. If/when we settle the moon and they start having commercial trips to it it will be the same thing. Yeah it would have been impressive if you did it 50 years ago, but when you're just taking part in a polished consumer product where everyone else does the real work, it's not impressive.

There used to be some merit to saying "I got to the peak of Mount Everest!" but it's been so done-to-death (literally) by everyone at this point that its more of an "I don't want to live any more" activity. Sure you can do your damndest to get to the top but you know you're there just to die. The new Mount Everest is, I dunno, base jumping? Going to that one island full of uncivilized people who will loving destroy you if you come near their island? People will keep finding new ways to go out, strange or stupid.

The most expensive I've seen a parking space go is like $7 on the weekends, but even that would take quite a bit of time to pay off even one of these self driving cars. in short: a no-name nobody reported some nonsense to npr without thinking about how loving stupid it is to say what he said.

Eliminating car polution, thats a solid cause to fight for, and self driving cars could even help reduce that. Just think about some uber-like program where one car can fit like five people, you could carpool like hell with those.
