Sagebrush posted:oh and one more: you only see the heighliners briefly in like 3 shots but they are a gigantic tube that doesn't move. it looks like this movie's interpretation of folding space is that you fly your ship in one end of the tube and out the other and you're in the new star system and i guess the heighliner is in both places at once. is that correct? i noticed that but wasn't sure i'd interpreted it correctly. but i just went and looked and yeah i think you're right

The navigators use the spice to see a path through folded space that doesn't intersect with a star or a black hole. I think that concept still works even if the ship doesn't appear to be moving. I assume there is a temporary wormhole in the middle of the ship and the navigators have to be on spice while they are doing whatever they do to form and maintain it.

i imagine they're not going to get much into the mechanics of how space travel actually works beyond "they use spice magic to navigate"

qirex posted:it wouldn't be much of a change if they need the spice to do the math to keep the portal open Also I can see where it looks like that but if there just going in the mouth of the heighliner and coming out its butthole it wouldn't need to be so long, so thick, so juicy... Wait, what was I saying? Oh yeah. The navigators use the spice to peek a couple pages ahead to make sure when they engage the Holtzman drive they don't materialize in the middle of a sun or halfway in a planet snd they're trained to make the necessary adjustments. I hate that this crap is stuck in my brain.

duomo posted:started watching this recently too and the first episode has a (recurring character) blackface sketch yeah they tone down and drop the makeup pretty quickly in the recurring character sketches, but the character stays around and is played the same. and it’s not even ironic blackface where maybe it is somehow acknowledged that it’s bad, it’s just blackface.

for the purposes of a movie it’s probably sufficient to say that spice is necessary for interstellar travel and leave it at that

Blackface, yellowface, an entire episode in brownface, the "becoming an Indian woman sketch", gently caress, probably a score more. yeah there are a couple mitchell and webb sketch from like 2006-2010 that have a more ironic “this is gonna be racist no matter how you do it” kinda take but, they’re still doing it and white guys who went to Cambridge in blackface is just not a look you would do in 2021 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rl76rTxIyzI

You wouldn't do it today because society has agreed there's a racist line and blackface is on the other side of it. It's like how blazing saddles wouldn't be made today not because they drop slurs like they drop R's in Boston but because there isn't an overwhelmingly popular cowboy genre with the overwhelming historical racism whitewashed out to socially comment on.

FMguru posted:there were two efforts at making an updated blazing saddles in recent years, both my a-list comedians (adam sandler and seth macfarlane) Weren't they also both like really loving terrible? People still like westerns when they're made well, and there have been a few in TV and movies, but both of those comedians objectively put out low-effort trash.
