The author originally put the scenes in the middle of the book, in hopes that chinese censors wouldn't notice. When the english translation came out, they returned the scenes to the beginning of the book, with the original authors blessing since that was original intent.

Hackers film 1995 posted:yesterday i was talking to someone about beetlejuice and then it became about how much we love michael keaton and then i just rewatched birdman for the 50th time. jesus i love that movie. this may be one of my favorite scenes in any film ever. I couldn't sleep so I rewatched it, at 3 am on a sunday I loved it when I first watched it, and I suppose it's impossible for me to say I dislike a movie I've seen 5+ times since, but it leaves a bit of a sour taste in my mouth. it feels too self-indulgent now. it relishes making GBS threads on critics to an embarrassing degree. most of the female characters are one dimensional caricatures (and the scene with watts's accepting riseborough's advance right after being assaulted is utterly tone-deaf). a lot of dialogue, apparently in tribute to raymond carver, lands as expository and un-real. I get it's supposed to be a film presented like a stage play; I hate the artificiality of stage performance so good job there I guess. also, there are no poc actors in the cast except for the silent jazz percussionist, which is extremely odd for a film about broadway in the mid 2010s. what I like of the film is carried on keaton's shoulders. the camera lingers on and follows other characters briefly, but nothing is as interesting as when he's on screen. what I really resonated with on my first viewing was how he reacts to stress, the whole anger management angle, his delusions of telekinesis and flight representing lack of control in his life, his relationship with his daughter and his need to create something real. keaton makes you believe his character and trust the words coming out of his mouth. maybe it's just because we don't get a lot of time with them comparatively, but I find the rest of the cast to be merely adequate. again I can't say I hate it. it's like a little brother who keeps loving up. like, I do love you bud, but maybe you could stand to stop gazing at your navel so much

The teacher getting beat to death like a lot of things in the book was very goofy. The only good thing about Three Body Problem (why the 3?) are the weirder/"bigger" ideas - and even those are done goofily a lot of the time - so there is a part of me curious how they've adapted it. The characters are paper thin it could've been published in Astonishing Stories 80 years ago.

I read the 3 body books a long time ago. As a general scifi novel fan, thought the series was okay, the last book was bat poo poo insane, but didn't belong in the first series as the first 2 books. I haven't watched any of the adoptions. However, I am glad to see its getting more discussions in other threads I go to, and getting people who usually don't watch scifi to watch this show. There is something about these books that have different sensibilities than the lot of western scifi books. I don't know how much of the sensibilities come across in the D&D version. But I heard the Chinese version is getting a much shorter director's cut, maybe I will give it a shot. Also Kojima made a long post to recommend the Chinese version, so there is that.

So I watched Bladerunner 2049. Way better than a Bladerunner sequel has any right to be. I streamed it on Hulu and the visuals, while great, were weird. There was tons of blocky color banding, like something I’d expect from an old school 700 meg Pirate Bay rip. Aesthetically it fit with the dystopian vibe, but I couldn’t tell if it was on purpose or if it was just a lovely digital transfer. I know 4k streaming is compressed, but I don’t normally see anything like that.

Anyone who comes away from the movie thinking it confirms that stupid idea is an idiot who missed the part where Harrison Ford looked at the camera and said "go gently caress yourselves, nerds".

To be fair he does that in every movie. Hell he'll go to other sets of movies he's not in and do that.

Groovelord Neato posted:I'm still bummed I skipped it when it was in theatres because I read an article that the movie confirms Ridley Scott's extremely stupid idea that Deckard was a replicant. I guess the second movie’s plot does lend more credence to the idea that Deckard is a replicant, but I don’t recall it being outright stated. Even Harrison Ford now says Deckard’s a replicant, but I still cling to the ambiguity because it better serves dystopian knot of the setting, where mankind has created an awful world-ruining system that dehumanizes its participants to such an extreme degree that they’ve completely lost touch with their identity, and in order to prop up that unsustainable system we engineered a slave race that expresses all the hopes, dreams and normal human impulses we systematically beat out of ourselves. I mean it’s still a well realized dystopia with Deckard as a confirmed replicant, but it’s less clever.

There is zero meaningful difference between a replicant and a human. Anyone trying to determine Decker's personal info after the movie is a nosy bigot who should mind their own fuckin business.

You’re telling me you’ve figured out a way to still drag your carcass out of bed every morning while lacking respect for the words that come out of Harrison Ford’s mouth during press events? I mean… why? Why even keep going if Harrison Ford’s take on stuff doesn’t… mean… anything?
