Clip-On Fedora posted:In American superhero comics, superheroes are either dumbasses who get their superpowers as a lucky break and manage not to gently caress up long enough to become a celebrity, or aristocratic class traitors who become heroes of the people. no, i'm quite certain that's covered in the "badass" -> "oh no" cycle my admittedly sketchy knowledge of One Punch Man skirts this cycle by always winning with one punch, defeating the initial premise

One punch man is about the burden of being so Type A that no one can ever dare challenge you, and the ennui that comes with that.

its one of the best movies of the 2000s. out of all the 2000s-era kinda trash action, equilibrium still remains really good. aeon flux and ultraviolet loving sucked though, so it was really a flash in the pan

made me think, what were the better movies of 2000-2009? kinda a nostalgia trip to go through all my lovely 2x700mb CD1.avi CD2.avi divX rips that i still have some ungodly reason. it was probably the one decade where i watched a ton of movies, and then basically almost stopped entirely. it might be fun to revisit them with a stronger class and imperialism lens. not to get too pfffy but off the top of my head: moat: Children of Men Pitch Black No Country for Old Men There Will be Blood Collateral good: kingdom of heaven director's cut equilbrium inglorious basterds drive in bruges speed racer synedoche ny casino royale trick r treat the departed memento kiss kiss bang bang eternal sunshine lotr district 9 pans lab gladiator decently-to-good at the time: minority report girl with the dragon tatoo fantastic mr fox drag me to hell triangle burn after reading blood diamond the dork knight lord of war donnie dorko solaris session 9 mulholand drive layer cake the prestige identity grandma's bo v for vendetta prob a lot haven't held up at all

Xaris posted:it was all solo-work baby. everything from writing to singing to camera work to editing was all him. like him or not, he's really insanely talented I watched this again for the seventh time this week so I've got more thoughts. The part in the first song where he adds in the headlamp with the disco ball is a cool transition for the crescendo of the song but then you ALSO realize that he spent a shitload of time testing the spin and counter-spin of the disco ball to ensure that it spun the other way when the second half of the chorus comes in. At first I thought he had it on a motorized spinner but he includes later footage where you can tell it's just hanging on a string like the disco ball everyone ever set up ever in their life.

batman has a classic dbz training montage in bvs where he beats the poo poo out of a tyre for a while (then goes and fights in a giant suit of armour anyway).Xaris posted:made me think, what were the better movies of 2000-2009? kinda a nostalgia trip to go through all my lovely 2x700mb CD1.avi CD2.avi divX rips that i still have some ungodly reason. it was probably the one decade where i watched a ton of movies, and then basically almost stopped entirely. it might be fun to revisit them with a stronger class and imperialism lens. not to get too pfffy but off the top of my head: i'd probably move pitch black down (sorry vin) and fantastic mr fox, minority report and burn after reading up. casino royale and dark knight swap, apologies mr bond. and ofc I would add the two qualifying star war prequels to that middle category. going to stop typing now as I fear each new sentence makes me look less cultured.

also 00-10 was a big movie time for me as well, my best friend (rip) who was on the spectrum and a goon in everything but account status only decided to "get into movies" so he literally downloaded and burned the imdb top 250 and went through them, whenever we hung out he'd just be like "you gotta see this, it's called wages of fear" and we'd watch some old masterpiece or John Cassavetes flick miss that bastard

Been listening to a lot of experimental rap lately. Death Grips is good aggressively, but Jpegmafia is more versatile. LP! is amazing.

The best part of Don't Look Up was Timothee Chalamet's delivery of "I loving love fingerling potatoes" because I really believed he loved fingerling potatoes and was excited to eat them. As many have noted, it is definitely lib-left in its direct criticisms. Although, here are a few things I did like about the overall plot: 1. They had a plan that probably would have worked to stop the comet, and it was subverted by the desires of capitalism. It wasn't subverted by people not believing in the comet or whatever, it wasn't because they waited too long to come up with a plan or whatever: they knew exactly what they had to do to stop it and ultimately what caused them to blink was the prospect that they could become richer from the comet (And it's not directly stated, but the world HQ of capitalism probably sabotaged the Indian/Chinese/Russian deflection project because it would have interfered with that prospect). 2. Dr. Mindy having his scientific vision clouded by the trappings of power and fame was not really something I expected, I wished they had pushed it further. I wanted the story of the two scientists to be the two methods that The Machine has of dealing with any kind of resistance: crush it, or co-opt it. They did a good job showing how it crushes it with Dibiasky's character, but I would have liked to have seen Leo become more co-opted. 3. The only political force shown in opposition to President Orlean is heard from once during the movie, and they're talking about her Supreme Court Nominee. People have pointed out that they intentionally do not label her party, but she's very obviously a Trump stand-in. I think people are taking this as a lack of willingness to criticize the dems, but I saw it as accurately reflecting that there is no Political Force saying "yes, Climate Change is a real threat, we need to take it seriously, here is how we organize our society so we can still have a future". The aesthetics of the party may be "Just Look Up" but the actual action is "Wait and Assess": 'we can't do anything to limit people's choices or actions beyond giving them information and hoping for the best.' 4. There are some shots scattered throughout, whenever Dr. Mindy or Dibiasky are talking to like a media figure or somebody clueless about the comet, where the sound sort of drops out as if a grenade had just gone off in a war movie. For me, it really accurately captured the feeling of "Why the gently caress are we talking about anything else when we know the name of the Apocalypse that is coming to kill all of us?" That Crack-Ping feeling.

indigi posted:yeah cause that’s done to pad runtime/pagecount. also it’s boring as poo poo. it’s as much to do with differences in the respective publishing/production industries as some grand narrative difference. I love DBZ but I also fast forward through the the 3 minute scenes in every episode where people stand around screaming to power up and literally nothing else is going on That's why DBZ Kai is good

Some Guy TT posted:where do magical girls fit it on the spectrum of hard work versus superpower lottery uraraka got a pretty sweet quirk, but she had to do a lot of hard work to make it a combat-capable quirk. her fight against bakugo is a good example of a character who's balanced with lottery and hard work.

It was a 2 minute slop job so I didn’t put much thought into it. FMR is quite good though. casino royals is probably a little 2000s as gently caress but I loved it when it came out tripping balls in a hot summer ac theatre. it’s the only good Craig bond and all others sucked rear end the prequels open a can of putrefying worms but I will say at least they had a plan and tried something, far more soul in it than the loving Disney cinematic universe ones but idk otherwise, I’d have no desire to rewatch em but yeah okay I’ll at least give they’re decent maybe I should rewatch most of that list and see how I feel. I did rewatch There Will Be Blood recently and it still owned

AnimeIsTrash posted:I finished off WOT and it's just bad. From what I remember of the books they skipped or just didn't bother including pretty crucial points and rushed through the 1st book. I was interested in the show and since I have nothing but time to kill at work I listened to the entire thing again this summer. Books 1-3 are HEAVILY dependent on that 'from what I remember' bit. The pacing is weird as gently caress, the events in 1 seem largely to exist as a way to make everything as Tolkien as possible, almost all of book 2 is just meandering until the very end, and Rand is more or less fully insane by book 3. The show is going to suffer a lot of necessary adaptation poo poo because it's sure as gently caress not going to be a 15 season book-by-book faithful adaptation, but books 1-3 absolutely do not belong with the rest of the series and would have required a ton of work in any case just to make everything after them make sense. They can't carry a faithful adaptation as well as the obvious comparision with game of thrones since the first books of asoiaf are a lot more coherent and strong than the first three of wot. I didn't really love the series but I thought that the concessions made were at least mostly interesting, and until the last two episodes, it didn't feel particularly rushed or weird. Those last two were rough, but enh, production issues. I'm not overwhelmingly excited about it but I feel vaguely obliged since I've been with this poo poo since middle school tbh and it's not awful

The aesthetics of the party may be "Just Look Up" but the actual action is "Wait and Assess": 'we can't do anything to limit people's choices or actions beyond giving them information and hoping for the best.' yeah I talked to my friend about President Orlean's political affiliation and they insisted Orlean is a Trump-like figure. I took it as more vague, but in retrospect they are right given the comment about "Chilean immigrants" and the SCOTUS nominee, etc. so maybe it is like Veep where Selena Meyer is probably a Democrat but the show doesn't want to get bogged down in that being the problem. what I really liked about the movie is that it did not become excessive and obvious like many critics said. for example Timothée Chalamet's character said he was raised by evangelical parents and he hates them. but instead of being an edgelord atheist - maybe what an inferior movie would have done - he has a personal relationship with God and says a sincere prayer at the dinner table. I personally don't care for religious stuff but I thought that was a great choice. speaking of Veep, I'm on season 5 and surprised to see this plot about delaying certification of votes, "stop the count!", finding hidden ballots, etc. after an election! I wonder if the 2000 election was the main inspiration for this.

I thought Orleans was more of a "Hillary becoming Trump" kind of thing - very beholden to focus group and consultant input when she's first introduced and then going full Trump/mask off when the capitalist agenda solidifies
