Also, Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? has basically nothing to do with the movie, it's like musing on life with artificial goat envy. *edit* I read the plot synopsis and looks like I forgot much of it, but still the movie complete omits the crucial "I want more expensive replicant pets" plot point. doverhog has a new favorite as of 21:44 on Jul 18, 2020 |

The only really egregious omission from the book to Blade Runner 1+2 is that there is not a single oversized lead codpiece to be seen in either film, and that is just money left on the table right there

Doc Hawkins posted:were the gorillas really supposed to be genetically modified? i remember a bit where someone's like "oh, they say the lost civilization here cross-bred gorillas with people," but i also remember that being presented as in-universe bullshit, just creepy legends, and the true horror is just that the gorillas were taught to be cops. Congo the movie has Tim Curry in it, therefore it's good. This is much too well done to go overlooked.

Congo is actually a really bad movie and if you think it is good it is purely nostalgia corrupting your memory. It does not stand the test of time, particularly in production value. It looks very, very cheap and the story in the film doesn’t hold up very well. It is incredibly 90s and in comparison to Jurassic Park it is a wonder how they did that.

It does have Tim Curry attempting to speak with a Russian accent and a no-joke laser gun, though. It's at least got B-movie schlock going for it. E: also this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8fbGbPwKbQA

On the other hand, this is the dramatic conclusion: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jfgWw43Fcuw This scene doesn't show the part at the end where several of the "evil" gorillas have visible zippers or a boulder that floats in water after crushing someone.

I think Crichton was one of those old white dudes who pretended to be enlightened centrists (ha) until 9/11 made them lose their loving minds, see also: Dennis Miller, Sam Harris, James Woods, Christopher Hitchens, etc.

Tim Curry being good and a film being good are not mutually inclusive. If anything it’s an indicator of the opposite, and he knows this.

I genuinely can't tell which of these board games are real and which are photoshopped and the prospect that perhaps actually, all of them are real is slowly dawning on me like a gentle sunrise except the sun is goatse.

It reads less like a science fiction novel and more like a cry for help from within a broken marriage.

ultrafilter posted:Koko learned individual words but there's no evidence beyond her trainer's claims that she had any notion of grammar. Not even that! Koko would just make a torrent of hand gestures, and the trainers would pick out ones they thought looked like sign language signs. Almost none of the trainers were actually fluent in sign language. Those that were were like "uh, guys? She's not actually saying anything" and were quickly hushed. Podcast: http://www.buzzsprout.com/1112270/4446851

Joey was pure lank, just the tallest skinniest motherfucker, but there's also some perspective fuckery here. I think Dee Dee and Johnny were pretty close in height. edit looks like Dee Dee was shorter than Johnny, check their first album cover. Hard to tell but I think Tommy might be standing on his tip toes on the first album cover Baron von Eevl has a new favorite as of 02:00 on Jul 19, 2020 |

She doesn't need that to communicate with her trainers, but the ability to combine words and clauses to form more complicated sentences is one of the big things that people think separates human language from animal communication. If someone wants to argue that apes have the capability for language in the same sense that we do, that's one of the big things they need to demonstrate.
