Pener Kropoopkin posted:Do they not know it's based on a French comic book? Let's be honest, nobody in America knew what Snowpiercer was until Chris Evans showed up. Besides, wasn't it called something different? Fake edit: guess not. Also I never read the comics and I know the plot was different, but I was under the impression there were similar themes in the original?

Some Guy TT posted:the eighties had so thoroughly propagandized the american public into thinking that war was inherently good that the idea of a movie saying that actually war is inherently bad was completely inconceivable A lot of war movies from the eighties (Born on the Fourth of July, Das Boot, Platoon and Come and See for example) was anti-war though. gradenko_2000 posted:yeah Battleship is a good movie Alhazred has issued a correction as of 15:09 on Jan 5, 2020 |

The first two are pretty anti-war (even if two has faulty "we left our boys in Vietnam" logic") but the last two kinda went into killing people is cool territory imo I will always like three for teaching me that we were supporting the mujahadeen tho, since for some reason after 2001 that fact was scrubbed from existence

Tyler Durden is a psychological embodiment of ur-fascist machismo. He does everything short of openly calling for the murder of liberals and leftists. Ed Norton literally has to blow him out of his brain and there's still millions of guys out there who want their own fight clubs.

Four episodes into The New Adventures Of Gerald The Witchyman and I'm enjoying it but I suspect it's completely impenetrable to anyone not already familiar with the source material.

the witcher felt like an attempt to recapture the feel of xena, and it succeeded. there's this dark fantasy world but everything feels the right amount of cheesy for it to be fun instead of overserious cavill is great, he's too pretty for the role but he clearly understands what makes the character fun and plays to it very well

My wife was delighted that cavill got to play his best video game friend on tv, but otherwise thought it was a syfy level program several rungs of quality below Happy! Which I was fine with. The woman’s bad taste appreciation sensors are more finely tuned and can only derive badfun from Riverdale, et al, where as I still like Serf posted:the witcher felt like an attempt to recapture the feel of xena, and it succeeded. there's this dark fantasy world but everything feels the right amount of cheesy for it to be fun instead of overserious This

they should make a movie about a guy who a new kind of human that has special powers and his are regeneration and claws and so the military makes him into a super soldier by fusing metal to his skeleton but somehow he dies anyway and makes a deal with the devil to become a hellspawn and come back giving him even more powers but then gets dosed with radiation turning him into a massive muscle bound monster man too then an alien creature comes and fuses with him so he also has alien powers also he adopts a baby yoda that he has to take care of
