bladerunner had moments but it completely loses the impact of the book by instead focusing on how sexy rutger hauer was in his prime

alien is great though no complaints there, masterpiece

it's a george lucas level fluke though arguably based on his body of work

This is what fascinates me most in existence: the peculiar necessity of imagining what is, in fact, real.


Someone mentioned F Plus a few pages ago and I really don't listen to it, but their Drugs! episode has a dramatic reading of the classic 'SWIM skates' post and for that alone I think it deserves recognition.

Bladerunner: humans are dogshit. Androids are sexy perfect hardbodies that yearn for the lives we no longer find any joy in. Harrison Ford uses a nerd voice to unsuccessfully trick a lady. God tier

Androids dream of electric sheep: what if religion was VR and also fake. Robots are evil. Deckard's wife nags him that the emotion box is broken. Everyone is mentally disabled because of space poison or something. Yawn boo

bladerunner- what if deckard was a replicant the entire time esque m night nonsense

androids- if you think the robot frog is real then does it matter if it's not, whatever makes you happy man

also robots are evil is not the take away, i'm p sure robots are evil, humans are evil, robots are good, humans are good, it's like the individual and their choices so a robot can be more human than a human and a human more cold and calculated than a robot

robots being evil is clearly a prejudiced line of thinking perpetrated by the society to dehumanize them, because they are supposed to be cheap disposable labor

also everyone is mentally ill because of the extreme social isolation caused by radioactive fallout, they barely interact with other people which turns out causes psychiatric problems in people

the most common and reliable means of interacting with each other is virtually through the empathy boxes

"overrated" is a meaningless word, it's a criticism of the buzz around the movie rather than the movie itself

but yeah Gladiator sucks. It's like they wanted to make a Spartacus movie, but they also wanted the army and the troops to be goodies, so they made Spartacus a troop, and he ended it by fixing the Roman empire instead of trying to burn it down

Oh yeah, but I'd go to bat for Gladiator and Black Hawk Down.

I absolutely wouldn't loving bat for A Good Year though. No one ever mentions that turd when talking about his bad movies.

The Kingdom of Heaven Directors Cut owns though. Never saw the theatrical cut, but people who have seen both versions say that the improvement the DC brings is vast.

Admittedly you do still have to watch Orlando Bloom, but on the other hand you also get to watch Eva Green.

If you’re going to convey an impression that you’ve got everything figured out, you need to remember that every band or artist in history is either underrated or overrated. Only you are the true arbiter of how to correctly rate any given band, since you are immune to the hype, nostalgia, and politics that make up the critical reputation of a musical act. Within you is the single flawless barometer that reveals the true quality of every band in the universe. Make sure to use it whenever possible, for it is a mainstay of smugness.

gladiator won the loving oscar for best picture, took home 5 oscars total and nominated for 12. it was the biggest movie of 2000 hands down. i don't think saying it is held in high esteem relative to it's actual quality is a meaningless observation
