Remember the Abortion Doctor in Brawl in Cell Block 99. That poo poo was funny. They have to fly him in from China and his skillset was all about torturing and mangling fetuses. How does an abortion doctor even get to learn that stuff?

Might be the only book I ever read where everyone being plugged into a socialist hive mind is portrayed as not only the most moral and sensible option in a vacuum, but also in the context of it being the only way to prevent Libertarians from selling out humanity to hostile aliens.

It's okay to like whatever you like as long as you aren't a jerk about it unless provoked. There's no fine line between schlock and great art. Many things are both, even more are the former pretending to be the latter.

That's my main complaint about 3BP - it's classic science fiction in the worst sense. There's infodumps, talking heads, convienient scientific breakthroughs, flat one dimensional characters, jostling around to showcase the ideas rather than plot... The Cultural Revolution part was very interesting and came alive in a way that much of the rest of the book didn't.

PriorMarcus posted:Much like the Watchmen tv show I'm convinced that most of the popularity of 3BP comes not from the actual contents of the books but because they made a lot of people aware of a real world crime they hadn't previously been exposed too. What's the problem? Too many bodies?

Never seen his movies but he does cop movies right? Oh and some sort of prison fight movie? Plenty of great movies in the latter genre. I've also heard great things about the Undisputed movies.

what makes them interesting is that he is a "my movies aren't conservative, i don't have an ideology, i'm just making stuff that I think is cool" guy so rather than seeming like he's TRYING to get a specific point across, you get glimpses into the actual mindset of guys like this e: tbf I haven't seen Dragged Across Concrete yet because it's longer than his other ones

Like it's clear the end goal was just to have a human vs aliens scenario, invent some bullshit sci-fi nonsense instead of trying to make it sound smart and failing the goal was to "solve" the Fermi Parodox and the dumbass solution involves the literal death of God lol

Quentin Tarantino makes the same kind of movies imo where it's just like a tunnel into a different guy's vision of what "cool" looks like

Holding back just enough for the whole move to only drop that it's actually the American version of Riki-Oh in the final act was masterful.

like there's all these kind of red herrings about where the movie might go with the relationship stuff in the first act and the prison guard trying to talk him into joining their Boxing club, and it's not that these things don't matter, but once Vince Vaughn is given "the choice" after being put into prison the movie jettisons all of them like booster rockets and it becomes a movie about a man who is determined to punch the entire world in the face
