Macdeo Lurjtux posted:The Mayan Calendar one can be traced back to Terrance McKenna who said he was told about the prophecy by 4th dimensional elves during a harmless megadose of DMT. Same thing Edgar Cayce who claimed to be astral projecting when he came up with the vast majority of what we associate with Atlantis in pop-culture, like their advanced technology. Which just so happened to coincide with stories of the Lemurians (the inhabitants of "Mu," a "lost continent" which is typically used as an alternative name for Atlantis) which were popular in Amazing stories at the same time.

Author Richard Sharpe Shaver basically invented a lot of modern hollow earth mythology with letters and stories in pulp magazines, including ancient languages, and a lot of that he just stole from earlier stuff and reworked. Later in life he did weird stuff with rocks containing secret ancient messages. Most of his wiki entry is just about that https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Sharpe_Shaver A lot of scifi pulps also get way into dianetics which is pretty gross in hindsight as you read through them

muscles like this! posted:He uses conspiracy theories in his movies but he never really engages with them. Like people who believe in the thing that turns out to be correct are usually portrayed as complete kooks. Like Moonfall has a side character who thinks that the Moon is full of plants and everybody makes fun of him. Turns out he was right but the movie still makes fun of him after the reveal. I think the problem with that, is that scientists in his movies are often pretty indistinguishable from the conspiracy theorists.

Baron von Eevl posted:There's a fair amount of contention about that, Hale-Bopp being important was probably an idea that was circulating in the group well before 1996. An interesting thing about Heaven's Gate was how they originally had this whole belief system about aliens coming down to Earth and physically taking them to Heaven. But then one of the cofounders died of cancer and to continue they had to adapt their beliefs in order to accommodate that.

He clearly seems like a true believer and he regrets not still being in the cult at the point where they all killed themselves, which is sad to say the least

Meanwhile, Village Roadshow pictures, which co-funded The Matrix Resurrections, is suing Warner Bros and accusing them of intentionally hurting the film's box office by putting it on HBO Max on the same day as theater release https://www.ign.com/articles/warner-bros-sued-matrix-resurrections-village-roadshow

Alan Smithee posted:is rush hour 3 worth watching at all In the first few minutes, they get fingered by Roman Polanski and pull a gun on a cab driver for no reason and make him scream in fear. These are both jokes. in the Film. Not jokes that I'm making. They put a bit in a the trailer where Chris Tucker lies to a bunch of women to get them to undress. I have no reason to think those first few minutes are as bad as it gets. Casimir Radon posted:I checked Chris Tucker’s filmography recently. Rush Hour and its couple sequels are the only things he’s really done since 1998. Oh and he’s in super debt, and apparently an Epstein buddy. Rush Hour 3 was held up for a decent amount of time because Tucker was holding out for 25 million. It's crazy to think that not only was there a point where he thought he was worth that but that the studio agreed.

If they're going to do it anyway that's a pretty good choice. Neeson is too good an actor to spend the rest of his career in sad dad gets revenge movies.

CharlestheHammer posted:Yeah but Seth McFarland comedies are dire I thought the twenty of so episodes of American Dad that I watched early in the show's run were funny, too. Caveat that I probably haven't watched that show in eight or ten years, and as I understand it it's one of those sitcoms that kept going on for forty-seven plus seasons and probably got terrible, but the one where they riffed on Vietnam vet movies and nerdy war reenactments was funny. Also the running bit where the alien's poo poo was a magical mcguffin that makes people kill each other. So I think Seth McFarland did a good job with some of American Dad and his Star Trek rip off. Though...if you go back and re-watch the early Family Guy episodes that people made a big deal over they really don't hold up. Oh. I also found the episode of Inside the Actor's Studio with Seth McFarland entertaining. That's my faint praise for the guy.

I think Seth could work for Naked Gun since that tends to rely more on slapstick and puns and less on gross out humor, and I think he can do slapstick pretty well. Neeson is the perfect choice for it, too.

Ted 2 was absolutely miserable but Liam Neeson's cameo in the movie got a couple chuckles out of me. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PL7IoRjVHJQ Blastedhellscape posted:I thought the twenty of so episodes of American Dad that I watched early in the show's run were funny, too.

Also the running bit where the alien's poo poo was a magical mcguffin that makes people kill each other. American Dad has actually gotten mostly better over time! Also they finally did the big ending to the alien's poo poo plotline last year for the 300th episode which is something I didn't expect to ever happen.

I liked the first Ted but mainly because I'm a big fan of the Flash Gordon movie. Haven't seen it since it was in theaters though and wasn't really interested in the sequel.

Chairman Capone posted:I remember reading at some point that Emmerich is a fan of Graham Hancock. His stuff is all over Stargate (not the aliens as such but James Spader's claims about the age of the sphinx/pyramids are straight from Hancock), 10,000 BC, and 2012. I read the wiki about the production and original book and lol quote:Bell and Strieber contend that such destabilizations have occurred before, and cite seemingly impossible engineering feats by ancient civilizations which must have been catastrophically destroyed since they don't appear in the historical record. Among their examples is the archaeological ruins of Nan Madol, which the book claims were built with exacting tolerances and extremely heavy basalt materials, necessitating a high degree of technical competency. Since no such society exists in the modern record, or even in legend, the society must have been destroyed by dramatic means.

I don't think a Naked Gun remake should be made, but if it is going to happen, Liam Neeson as Frank Drebin is 100% absolutely a better choice than when it was going to be Ed Helms as Frank Drebin Jr.
