1stGear posted:Fury is laying all the war movie tropes on so thick that it feels like a parody. It's a massive field and it's not like they're fully crewed by experienced gunners (like every unit we see in the movie, yank & kraut, they're probably a mix of scarred vets and babyface noobs) If anything they still fire too soon, since unlike the tiger later they miss all their shots! Even if Fury wasn't good fun (it is) it'd still be worth it for the consternation it caused among YouTube's armchair rommels

I think there was a time 15ish years ago when normal people were first spending a lot of time online that everyone was pretty honest. it wasn't a perfect slice of what society was up to because some people posted everything they did and some people more or less lurked, but there was a lot of casualness. now that everyone has hundreds-thousands of fb friends and ig followers (i.e. a shitload of strangers), everything is a performance or advertisement. everything is subject to history searching by employers and enemies. everything has to be a hot take because it's the only thing that gets traction in the algorithm. most people don't like those sorts of stakes in their idle posting, so all that private conversation shifted to group chats and discords with manageable numbers of people. this all happened really quickly, since 2016 or so, and people like grrm are still struggling with the whiplash of how quickly the public social internet died.

people started making money on YouTube for doing react videos and the bigger more exaggerated the reactions the more clicks you're gonna get from the widest audience, combine that with CinemaSins level "criticism" and it's a race to the bottom of people recording themselves watching Anything and screaming "WHAT IS THIS, WHY IS THIS HAPPENING"

I think MST3K and Red Letter Media established a good precedent that if you're going to mock something it should be done by a Midwestern oaf and you should have to make your own low effort sets and props to show that it's all in good fun

Also I like watching movies with my spouse and I’m not in the business of subjecting her to everyday dangers to women/children.

sonatinas posted:70-80s movies in that genre are usually like that. I wonder how much of my beef with Death Wish is because it has a straight-up sexual assault scene in it. For whatever reason, despite a lot of the horror stuff I can otherwise tolerate (maybe because it's often cartoonish) I really can't deal with seeing that kind of stuff on film. Apparently, Death Wish II is even worse in that regard, so I'm definitely passing on that. quote:David Engelbach was then asked to write the screenplay. After he saw the final product, he was "somewhat appalled" how the film differed from his original script. His script didn't include any rape scenes, but those were included by Michael Winner to "get his rocks off".[citation needed] However, Engelbach argued that "serious issues - namely, the deteriorating state of our criminal justice system. The actions of the Bronson character are dictated by the inability of the police to prevent crime, the preoccupation of the courts with technical rather than real justice, and the cancerous climate of fear in which we find ourselves today. Paul Kersey is no hero. In his pursuit of vengeance he loses the only emotional relationship of his life and by story's end has become as much a victim of crime as the thugs he leaves dead in his wake".

I first learned of this when we thought it would be fun for my kid to see the original Teen Wolf movie and there is some not so great stuff in that.

screenrant.com posted:When edited to air on TV, Temple of Doom's disturbing human sacrifice scene is altered. Instead of showing off the realistic beating heart, Mola Ram's hand appears empty, making the ritual seem like nothing more than a charade met with cheers. Given that a theme of Temple of Doom is that Indiana doesn't believe in the mystical and fantastical until he witnesses it in person, the altered version of the scene should completely change his story. lmfao
