Aphrodite posted:For some reason neo nazis are super into hiding those numbers in things like making people see them is some kind of gotcha. It's not some 'gotcha' thing. They want to signal to each other and show 'white pride' but they are too cowardly to use overt symbols. So they create coded, esoteric, or plausibly-deniable imagery and language to have it both ways.

White supremacists like to believe they're a silent majority, so when they see little nods to their cause it's helps perpetuate their persecuted mindset. Think Christians drawing fish in the sand or Goons asking confused people if they've got stairs in their houses. Then Trump gets elected and they all come out of hiding thinking now's their moment. 88's in Tarantino films maybe because Heels Heels?

It's not exactly subtle that Tarantino just loves blaxsploitation movies and anime, and likes to mess with genre and setting conventions. Also heard that he moved into basically minority revenge porn movies specifically because he didn't like how racists were getting into his movies. I still really wanna see his take on Star Trek. Klingsploitation?

I just got around to watching the second Goosebumps movie and it is fairly fun despite the CG being a bit wonky in places. However the effects are very imaginative, like when Slappy brings the masks to life they grow their bodies out of the neck hole in a visually interesting way. Also the witches own as they are just hats initially, so their heads are papier-mache globes that form faces when they need to emote and they look very distinctive. It also starts off pretty strong with the old trope of the boyfriend sneaking into the girls window via ladder to meet her when they should be doing other things, and her mum catches them because they were being really unsubtle about it: quote:"Does no one whisper anymore? loudly stomps in place HEY I GOT YOU PRINGLES AND RED BULL! BETTER BE QUIET OR MY MUM WILL CATCH YOU!" also for an actual subtle point - Slappy's behaviour and plan seems inconsistent compared to his motivations in the first movie, but in the second movie he's a version of Slappy from a completely different story that never got published so we are basically seeing a beta version of the character.

That one doesn't come into it - instead of other books coming to life, Slappy uses the same magic that brought him to life to bring halloween decorations to life to serve him. He's playing out of a different book, an in-universe pilot that was never finished called "Haunted Halloween", in which he brings all of Halloween to life to be his family. He falls back on that plan when the brothers and sister he imprints on see that his attempts to deal with their problems are dangerous and drop him (he initially tries to be a part of their family but goes too far and hurts someone). It's an interesting take on the character. He puts a boy in traction entirely because he cheated on "his" sister, which is what gets them to drop him after they realise that they also complained about their mother when in his presence and realise that he's too dangerous to keep around as one false word or careless complaint and someone may die for just being an idiot. It also has a genuinely unsettling thing towards the end as the family member he most wanted was a mother (he thinks of RL Stine as his father and calls him such), so he steals the kids' mother and turns her into one of his creatures, claiming that "From now on, [he'll] do the talking for the both of them: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SKTvxXjJ_MU BioEnchanted has a new favorite as of 21:29 on Oct 13, 2019 |

Hard ticket to Hawaii The whole movie is a brilliant exercise in good-bad cinema Buuuuuuut A. The intro credit sequence is very very good, with it being a box factory/postage center with the credits appearing very organically in the scene B.One of the climactic scenes where the female protagonist is having to assemble a spear gun in a closet while the wounded antagonist is breaking through a flimsy door. It is weirdly suspenseful and engaging, These two moments have no place in a film where a blow up doll is blown out of the sky with a rocket launcher

I can't rightly say that Roland Emmerich is subtle, but after watching his dogshit film Anonymous (where Shakespeare was a fake and the real playwright was the bastard son of Elizabeth I and also had sex with her) I had the Epiphany that the Independence Day speech is just a stealth adaptation of Henry V's Saint Crispin's Day speech. Dude wants to be Shakespeare but with explosions.

I'm watching Living With Yourself on netflix and there's an interesting visual thing in the third episode - at the point where the Clone and Original Paul Rudd are working together to live their best lives with the clone killing it at work and Original working on their play that they kept meaning to get around to, and Original starts slipping, not pulling his weight. At the end of the week, the clone confronts him, and Original is wearing a grey sweater that perfectly blends with the couch that he's sitting on, giving a good visual idea of basically being so lazy that he's becoming one with his environment. Also the avoid the awkwardness of the ethics of clone sex - Paul sees his clone being taken to bed by their wife, and steps in so at no point is she unknowingly loving a clone.

Spoilers for the final few episodes I did like that when she did have sex with the clone he was bad at it because he'd never had sex before. She even makes a point to say that Original was better than Clone when confronted about it

Rather than wishing for more troops he says any who want to leave should, but those who stay will have all the greater glory for doing so. A much closer example would be Mel Gibson's speech in Braveheart. Shakespeare posted:WESTMORLAND. O that we now had here Mel Gibson posted:William Wallace: We all end up dead, it’s just a question of how and why. Every man dies, not every man really lives.I am William Wallace! And I see a whole army of my countrymen, here in defiance of tyranny. You’ve come to fight as free men… and free men you are. What will you do with that freedom? Will you fight?

In the new trailer for the new star wars movie, you can see Rey running through a forest. This is a subtle nod that this is fiction, because everyone knows white girls can't run in a forest without falling down and getting axe murdered.
