Kim Justice posted:Well, you get your ASMR mukbangers and then you get your storytime mukbangers. When the genre got its start in Korea it was mostly based in talking with an audience, because most of the mukbangers were livestreamers. Not difficult to see why people like that really, you get the whole Just Chatting thing plus it's like you're eating with somebody. People love that. For the rest of this paragraph you can pretend I said something profound about the rise of mukbangs in a lonely 21st century late capitalism city apartment culture society. remember that asmr mukbang girl who pretended she was being kidnapped and forced to eat things against her will lmao

Kim Justice posted:ASMR is less explainable, of course, because you literally either love it or hate it based on your body's reaction to it -- personally it goes right through me and I can't watch. It's like coriander, to some people it tastes thoroughly pleasant and to others it's like eating soap. While I admittedly get no kick from champagne or ASMR, the funniest ASMR I've seen thus far (a couple of places) was "Relaxing Lice Inspection."

Oh, also -- a new strand that seems to have popped up recently...True Crime Mukbangs. Someone tells you all about a crime that's happened, whilst eating lots of food. Stephanie Soo (probably best known for cancelling Nikocado in a video last year) does a lot of these. Kim Justice fucked around with this message at 07:06 on Feb 11, 2021 |

I understand the sequel trilogy has its issues (especially the last one) but they made big money and they aren't going to redo three movies especially with Ford having enough, Fisher being dead and Hamill warming up to Old Luke. If anything was to be taken from Rise of Skywalker, drastically changing things as a response to criticism is way messier than accepting what was put on the dinner plate.

Exactly, it's trivially easy for a company with Disney's resources to dress up a convincing double and ADR Hamill's voice in. And then you wouldn't be stuck with a weird CGI object that spends a very emotional scene rooted to the floor with a blank stare. The only reason I'm not as offended by the Luke CGI as I am with Tarkin is that at least Hamill is still around to give his blessing for them to CGI his likeness. Using CGI to recreate long dead actors like they did with Cushing just feels incredibly tasteless to me.

DeafNote posted:Cant be worse than that one episode of the Sopranos. Carrie Fisher passed away with ample time to write around her death with some manner of dignity and respect. Instead the film devotes three characters (including Rose Tico) to a full-time job of sitting around and taking random cut lines to try to make them work in context several times over the course of the movie. "What's that The stuff at the start with Rey running the training course is actually pretty passable I'll admit, but after everyone's left the hideout to get the plot rolling every now and then the story just cuts back to the Stall-for-Time Leia Players trying to prop her up for another macabre puppet show for no good reason.

Oh I was referring in how it looked. I agree that it was handled badly and creepily in Carrie Fisher's place. But Rise already had it rougher than a single episode of a show would, since they decided to have Leia's character stick around.

Yeah definitely that too, that the writers just couldn't be assed to write Leia out of their story and had to force her into a major role even if it meant abusing every scrap of remaining cut content they had from her and CGI'ing Fisher's likeness when she was so recently deceased was inexcusable. The whole idea of CGI'd dead actors - even with the blessings of their estates - is wholly off-putting to me unless it is the briefest of brief shots. Like if you want to CGI reconstruct young Hamill or Fisher for a photo a character is holding or something then fine, but as soon as you actually try to put them in a scene with dialogue you lose all sympathy from me. I know the writers had no possible way of knowing Fisher of all people would be the one of the original Star Wars trio to die first, but in retrospect it's really unfortunate Holdo gets introduced and killed off within one movie because they created a really good "passing the torch" character for Leia and then immediately squandered it.

I was honestly perfectly fine with it in Rogue One. CGI Leia there is a brief scene and serves as a bridge directly into A New Hope. I also really liked them salvaging some old unused bits from the Death Star run to include some of the X-Wing pilots in the shield attack  .The ending of The Mandalorian Season 2 Ehhhhhh, I'm not a fan of it but I'm okay with it as well in this instance as it's mostly in the background of the scene proper rather than shoved in the audience's face (Look, it's Luke!... and now back to the big goodbye scene!). If it was gonna be anyone picking up Grogu it'd have to be Luke anyway because there's a few too many focus-stealing Jedi-related questions to raise for a season-finale in a Mandalorian show if it was anyone else known in broader canon or pulled out of Legends. And they at least got Mark Hamil to voice "himself" for it.

these two videos of Day9 messing around with the new magic expansion are wonderful. truly, tinkering with his Big Red deck is the time when he is enjoying himself the most. and his whiny "hater" voice was annoying at first, but the gimmick got to be absolutely hilarious to me by the end https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aTIuVnkih_o&hd=1 I built this Showdown of the Skalds-based monowhite aggro deck after watching this video and it's loving fun as hell, and really really strong too. shuts down early board wipes with the angel that makes big spells cost more, and showdown of the skalds is a loving insane card, letting you basically draw four cards for 4 mana, and buff your dudes for two turns when casting anything. great deck, great video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9mtsOHu3kZY&hd=1

The Leia stuff was so unnecessary as well. It would have been so easy just to open the film at a memorial service for the character showing she died between films and then go from there, as opposed to ghoulishly resurrecting her and cobbling a "performance" together from outtakes to end up killing her anyway. I second that I don't have any moral problem with deepfake/CGI faces so long as the actor is alive, but Cushing and Fisher just struck me as inappropriate. On a creative level, the desire to spend all this money with CGI faces comes across like an odd acquisition to a nebulous concept of "realism". As if recasting someone would destroy the viewer's suspension of disbelief. I think directors/writers should allow someone to just use their imagination, to fold any inconsistencies into their head canon or whatever, and to accept the artifice. I believe a lot of cinemasins-esque channels has led to this fetish for highlighting logic and realism above all else and perhaps they no longer have faith in fans to "just go with it", after all it was fans who invented that dumb James Bond codename theory out of a need to "explain" recasting, perhaps their lack of faith in the audience is justified.

I honestly liked the recast a lot, I feel like Gambon retroactively makes the character from the book make more sense by portraying that he has a strong emotional core that often gives him strength but sometimes pulls him in a specific direction and causes him to lose perspective. As opposed to just being a stoic and impenetrable wizened old man.
