OutsideAngel posted:Excession probably has the most ship-on-ship interaction, if you're down to read sci-fi IRC logs. The part of the equation I'm more interested in is the human part, really. I've finally gotten to a part of Hydrogen Sonata where there's an actual Culture human involved (Tefwe) so I'm satisfied (the Gzilt are their own separate thing and don't really count per se) but I think I want more human stuff.

loquacius posted:Another thought on The Culture: Best Friends posted:they don’t even swab the deck. they just hang around and the ship feeds them and cleans up after them and keeps them from unintentionally dying. humans are pets. everyone dreams of being in Contact so that they can briefly feel like they’re not entirely pets. any labor you do outside of Contact (and even much within it) is just a hobby with no actual impact on anyone’s material conditions. ships can and do swab their own decks, but people always volunteer to do every type of job there is on ships because they like to do it. I forget which book, maybe Surface Detail, someone from outside the Culture is on a GCU and asks someone at a restaurant "why are you waiting tables when the ship's avatars could do it" and the reply is "the avatar could do it, but I'm doing it, and that's what matters" most ships have 3-5 Minds running them anyway; the point is made that one could do the whole job itself with no difficulty, but that isn't what The Culture is about - it's about people and minds forming communities and working together to accomplish things, even if one or the other could do it all on their own also Look to Windward has a lot of Orbital Mind/human interactions

I do get the vibe the super advanced AIs might be much smarter than humans and know it but they also know humans aren't that dumb and reckon they'd go crazy without some of the meatbags to have conversations with so they keep the humans around since it's hardly any significance resource expenditure and sometimes they come up with fun new ideas

A little late but the best scene in the Matrix 2 is when Neo throws the Agent Smith into the other Agent Smiths and it makes a bowling pin knockdown noise. I had to rewind the movie like 3 times the first time I heard it because I was pretty sure there's no way they'd throw in this looney tunes rear end sound effects in a fight scene.

The surreal part about the “Burly Brawl” is that it starts as this amazing piece of stunt work and fight choreography with real actors wearing Hugo Weaving masks in an terrific set piece modeled after Shaw Brothers esque Hong Kong cinema. A real 10/10 fight scene. Then suddenly the most jarring and sudden real to cgi switch in cinema history happens and we spend the rest of the fight watching cgi marshmallow men rendered by a PS2 weightlessly float around. It’s like you’re listening to a symphony and suddenly the entire orchestra halts mid-verse and takes a giant poo poo on stage.

there's some good stuff in Matrix 2 that makes it a movie worth watching even if it's a bad one overall, can't really say the same for 3 e: I think Grant Morrison was right when they said the narrative problem stemmed from the Waichowskis abandoning gnostic themes for judeo-Christian ones (haphazardly stapled to manichaeistic ones imo) it really changes what kind of story you can build indigi has issued a correction as of 22:30 on Oct 16, 2023 |

And capitalism. the script is really weird because it does explicitly state this with the landlord in the second season and the fbi agent in the first season but their storylines get almost no focus compared to the bagmen characters this especially stood out in the second season because once jeri ryan showed up i was thinking huh she must be a lot more important than she looks and she is but instead of doing anything on screen her role in plot is just condensed to like three sentences in the summation i was left wondering whether she had a bigger role in the original script that was edited out so they could make more room for mostly pointless flashbacks for the crazy guy

rainn wilson just immediately giving away the whole plot in the first season was also weird since everything about his character seemed to imply that he was exactly the kind of person greedy and stupid enough to think he could white privilege his way out of any serious conflict and the actual villain we ended up with was a lot more thinly drawn by comparison

Stairway weapon fight is the best fight in the series. A lot of the set pieces in 1 actually feel sort of unimpressive now because a lot of people just hadn't seen wires used with martial arts before. Now it seems a bit floaty. But that weapons fight in Reloaded is hot.

also i enjoy dark winds mostly for the setting and vibes, as well as seeing zahn mclarnon react to the tragedies and shenanigans that surround his character, rather than any given specific plot details.
