Quantum of Phallus posted:I haven't seen AMericna Sniper so i won't comment or make stuff up about it It's a well made action/war film but it's jingoistic and deceptive as gently caress (it implies the Iraq War was because of September 11th) and it makes Chris Kyle into the greatest American serviceman since Audie Murphy when in fact Kyle was a bloodthirsty racist psychopath and pathological liar. So a mixed review!

TIP posted:> suicide by cop You attack the cop. "God drat it, Worth!" he hollers as he easily fends off your attack and slams you to the ground. He begins to strangle you. "I knew you were a rat," he growls menacingly as his fingers tighten around your windpipe. You can't breathe. You decide not to resist. The cop continues to strangle you. Your consciousness is fading. Cowcaster posted:> reminisce about how this is just like that episode of star trek https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c0dC2TwYv98 You lose consciousness. You are dead.

Cubone posted:It occurs to you that this situation is very similar to the episode of Star Trek The Next Generation, "Allegiance", where Picard and several aliens he doesn't know wake up in a strange, sterile environment without knowing how they got there. They're both derivative of the Twilight Zone episode Five Characters in Search of an Exit https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aHV8r7LsO6k

Andro Dunos posted:They're both derivative of the Twilight Zone episode Five Characters in Search of an Exit the original Twilight Zone episode's explanation, I honestly thought was pretty silly and pointless, so it's neat that different creators have come up with vastly different spins on why an array of characters would have been brought together as such and Cube is my favorite they don't offer a definitive explanation, but the characters speculate about it, and I really like the idea that it's a bureaucratic anomaly whose original purpose had been so abstracted away from that it's completely forgotten, but it exists now as a cog in a machine divorced from any meaningful purpose but upon which too many interdependent systems rely for it not to persist it's a horrifying thought and also not far from the reality of, like, u.s. defense spending JediTalentAgent posted:A 1 out of 120?

precision posted:noted hard sci fi series Star Trek, featuring Floating Alien Lincoln and Time Traveling To Gangster Times For No Real Reason That wasn't time travel, the inhabitants of the gangster planet <somehow> got their hands on a book about 1920s gangsters of Earth, and decided to model their entire society on it. I have no idea who claims Star Trek is "hard" Sci-Fi, because that's ridiculous and it never has been, obviously. At most it has its own "science" that they try to use at least somewhat consistently in ways that matter to the stories.

SilvergunSuperman posted:I just heard Van Wilder was based on Bert Kreischer in college and if true I'm simultaneously floored and the least surprised I've ever been. Yeah, basically he managed to get this profile in Rolling Stone, which generated some studio attention and almost got optioned. Then the studios decided it would be cheaper to just write the story without having to pay anyone for options or life rights. Also, there was no way FSU would sign off on letting their name or logos be used for the movie, so what advantage would they actually get by paying Bert Kreischer and Erik Hedegaard?

Star Trek got a reputation for being "hard" sci-fi because Gene Roddenberry spent most of the 70s and 80s going to every sci-fi convention that would have him and telling a fake story about how NBC killed the original pilot of Star Trek (and eventually killed the series) because it was "just too smart". The degree to which early Star Trek fandom was astroturfed by Roddenberry is pretty fascinating.

I can fully believe ol' Gene Rod n' Berries telling anyone who would listen how incredibly popular his cancelled TV show was is what got the network back to look at Phase 2, the movies, and ultimately TNG.

Severance is extremely good so far, I am digging it. Great cast, great set design, a tantalizing set of mysteries.. I’m actually kind of glad they are doing weekly releases so I have something to look forward to watching every week! That and “Our flag means death” are going to be my scheduled viewing for the next while I reckon.

I caught up with the episodes that are out with Severance last night. It is really well done and comparisons to Maniac fit perfectly. It's kind of jarring how grounded the outside world is and then inside the office you have people acting really bizarre, but I guess you just have to chalk it up to being a satire of corporate workplaces and let that go.
