Escobarbarian posted:I didn’t watch Robocop until last year. I tend to not be big on “beloved 80s movies” like the kind beloved by those who think Ghostbusters is a perfect movie so I didn’t think I’d like it too much. Anyway it absolutely loving ruled ColdPie posted:I also watched it for the first time in the past year. The scene near the end where the evil robot just slips and falls down the stairs loving killed me. I had to rewind and watch it again. If you haven’t already seen it, Robocop 2 is a great sequel! The 3rd turned into a pg-13 cartoon unfortunately.

Verhoeven made the best blockbusters that had such sly humour in them. It rules he did Total Recall with Arnie, just the best pairing for that kind of stuff.

Yeah Robocop 2 while divisive (I think the general consensus is only the original is worth watching?) is a great follow-up in my opinion and does a good job of treading the fine line between hosed-up and hilarious. I think everyone would agree it's worth watching just for the new Robocop scenes alone.

I can't believe there's been this much Robocop discussion and nobody posted the real remake, rated as hard R as the original. https://vimeo.com/86014703

Showgirls is an amazing work of absolute nonsense garbage and I love every grimey, sleazy minute of it. I've never seen a movie capture the disgusting feeling of walking around Vegas in the heat and clouds of cigarette smoke and booze haze like Showgirls does.

There's an episode of The Movies That Made Us about RoboCop which is a riot. Amazing the movie even made it to release.

Man Guilty Gear is so good. When the servers are cooperating, it's just a great time. Currently tooling around floor 4 as I relearn how to play with this fight stick I got. Player counts seem pretty good, great to have it on Game Pass to keep players coming.

I grew up in Vegas and it absolutely captures the real life reality of existing in Las Vegas more than any other movie. A town filled with second-rate hope.

I remember not buying one because “psssh. I just bought this square 50” tv and it will be great forever” Retro-bit prism stuff is good though. Spendy but not original cable spendy. Cheaper to buy a Wii with a component cable still.

This thread made me rewatch Robocop, for the first time in 20 years or so. It was still fun! But not at all as violent as I was remembering. Pretty tame by today's standards, but I was just a kid when I watched back then. The missus watched with me and she had never seen it before, she was laughing the entire time for some reason.

Yeah, Verhoeven was leaning heavily into the absurd comedy aspects when possible. Robocop is absolutely a dystopian sci-fi comedy.

Nuts and Gum posted:Okay this is like the third time I’m downloading a 30gb update for Atomic Heart. I really enjoy the moment to moment combat, and the looting is like vampire survivor level crack, but the open world is so bad. A lot of it is the difficulty and the absolute worst map in game I’ve ever used. Well I guess streaming via ultimate has its upsides! I was confused for a short while when the vending machines stopped being annoying. But I guess they got into trouble there? Anyway I got way into the game. Even including the overworld. The difficulty was annoying at the beginning but helped convey a sense of dread. The rest was ‚git gud‘. But the map is pretty bad alright.

That’s part of it. With rhythm games when you line up with the music it feels incredible, with DMC when you hit the flow state of destroying a ton of enemies while hitting SSS and vocals kick in you feel incredible. This felt like… the 2 different things rarely clicked together the way I wanted them to. I wonder if I’d like it more if I turned on auto assist lol
