 PHUO for the snipe: I would watch Twilight if they made a cut that had all the scenes with the stand‐ins without the CGI layer.

Ugly In The Morning posted:Digital blood instead of squibs, too. That never looks good. yeah squibs often take me right out of it too lol especially if they just sorta vanish in a puff of red mist, all video game-like, and don't affect anything in the scene. like i get it, it's much easier to shoot action scenes that way, but it often looks, well, painted on, same as the muzzle flashes Gaius Marius posted:I don't have this problem as I don't watch any movie made after 2000, they're all trash anyways so why bother when there's so many good films I've yet to see. And yet people take time and money to watch the latest Garbage Marvel movie with the same loving plot, same CGI and same bullshit dialogue in every movie. i'm not a film buff or anything really, but seriously, you're missing out on a lot of Good poo poo off the top of my head, in no particular order: Parasite, Memories of Murder (all films by Bong Joon-ho are great), Children of Men, Interstellar, Dunkirk (i'm not a big fan of Nolan but i liked these two), Portrait of a Lady on Fire, No Country for Old Men, Drive, There Will Be Blood, Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri, Winter's Bone, The Babadook and probably hundreds more that i haven't watched yet cause i'm not a film buff or anything really also billie eilish owns e: oh yeah, Annihilation was a cool movie too ee: and Get Out nurmie has a new favorite as of 11:13 on Jun 13, 2021 |

Judas and the Black Messiah was pretty good. Hell, I’d even say it was better than Ghostbusters.

Platystemon posted:I am more interested in what cool models you have than in whatever else is going on on this page. It's almost certainly Warhammer or such. Which, lol, There is a contingent of Warhammer and other miniatures game model fans who think minis have all gone to poo poo since the vast majority of sculpting is done with a computer now instead of physically sculpting a little dude to make a mold of. Behold:  physically sculpted elves  computer-sculpted elves I will always love the gorillafist elves from the old days because I played with them when I was 8, and yes they have hella charm, but the computer ones are just better. And that's not to say there aren't extremely talented physical sculptors like the Perry twins who make things like this:  but lol, there is not some inherent moral superiority to the gorilla elves, there is good looking models and bad looking models.

PHUO: Between the Earth and Mars there is a china teapot revolving about the sun in an elliptical orbit. You cannot disprove my PHUO provided I am careful to add that the teapot is too small to be revealed even by our most powerful telescopes.

I thought it was pretty obvious I was joking about 40k being nerdier than Gundam. Even if Gundam is the clearly more important and interesting work.Josef bugman posted:I mean yeah, anyone in the UK with even a passing knowledge of nerd culture from back in the 90's will have some Warhammer figurines. Whereas Gundam ones are a good deal rarer and more "niche nerd" as it were. From what I've seen from the Gunpla thread models in the UK are bonkers expensive. That's one of the big pluses about Gunpla, even shipping a kit from Japan a good quality kit will only run you $15-25. Gaius Marius has a new favorite as of 00:03 on Jun 14, 2021 |

Baseball is a great sport, and it doesn't have the toxicity I tend to associate with (American) football. BUT I agree that it's too slow sometimes and that it needs something like basketball's shot clock to speed it up a little.

Baseball is insanely toxic as well. If you don't run the bases in properly after hitting a homer then you get a projectile thrown at your head at 100 mph during your next at bat.
