For some reason neo nazis are super into hiding those numbers in things like making people see them is some kind of gotcha.

It's not some 'gotcha' thing. They want to signal to each other and show 'white pride' but they are too cowardly to use overt symbols. So they create coded, esoteric, or plausibly-deniable imagery and language to have it both ways.

White supremacists like to believe they're a silent majority, so when they see little nods to their cause it's helps perpetuate their persecuted mindset. Think Christians drawing fish in the sand or Goons asking confused people if they've got stairs in their houses. Then Trump gets elected and they all come out of hiding thinking now's their moment.

88's in Tarantino films maybe because Heels Heels?

Ghost Leviathan: Mar 2, 2017; Exploration is ill-advised.

It's not exactly subtle that Tarantino just loves blaxsploitation movies and anime, and likes to mess with genre and setting conventions.

Also heard that he moved into basically minority revenge porn movies specifically because he didn't like how racists were getting into his movies.

I still really wanna see his take on Star Trek. Klingsploitation?

BioEnchanted: Aug 9, 2011; He plays for the dreamers that forgot how to dream, and the lovers that forgot how to love.

I just got around to watching the second Goosebumps movie and it is fairly fun despite the CG being a bit wonky in places. However the effects are very imaginative, like when Slappy brings the masks to life they grow their bodies out of the neck hole in a visually interesting way. Also the witches own as they are just hats initially, so their heads are papier-mache globes that form faces when they need to emote and they look very distinctive. It also starts off pretty strong with the old trope of the boyfriend sneaking into the girls window via ladder to meet her when they should be doing other things, and her mum catches them because they were being really unsubtle about it:

quote:

"Does no one whisper anymore? loudly stomps in place HEY I GOT YOU PRINGLES AND RED BULL! BETTER BE QUIET OR MY MUM WILL CATCH YOU!"

also for an actual subtle point - Slappy's behaviour and plan seems inconsistent compared to his motivations in the first movie, but in the second movie he's a version of Slappy from a completely different story that never got published so we are basically seeing a beta version of the character.

BioEnchanted: Aug 9, 2011; He plays for the dreamers that forgot how to dream, and the lovers that forgot how to love.

That one doesn't come into it - instead of other books coming to life, Slappy uses the same magic that brought him to life to bring halloween decorations to life to serve him. He's playing out of a different book, an in-universe pilot that was never finished called "Haunted Halloween", in which he brings all of Halloween to life to be his family. He falls back on that plan when the brothers and sister he imprints on see that his attempts to deal with their problems are dangerous and drop him (he initially tries to be a part of their family but goes too far and hurts someone). It's an interesting take on the character. He puts a boy in traction entirely because he cheated on "his" sister, which is what gets them to drop him after they realise that they also complained about their mother when in his presence and realise that he's too dangerous to keep around as one false word or careless complaint and someone may die for just being an idiot.

It also has a genuinely unsettling thing towards the end as the family member he most wanted was a mother (he thinks of RL Stine as his father and calls him such), so he steals the kids' mother and turns her into one of his creatures, claiming that "From now on, [he'll] do the talking for the both of them: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SKTvxXjJ_MU

Jestery: Aug 2, 2016; Not a Dickman, just a shape

Hard ticket to Hawaii

The whole movie is a brilliant exercise in good-bad cinema

Buuuuuuut
A. The intro credit sequence is very very good, with it being a box factory/postage center with the credits appearing very organically in the scene

B.One of the climactic scenes where the female protagonist is having to assemble a spear gun in a closet while the wounded antagonist is breaking through a flimsy door.

It is weirdly suspenseful and engaging,

These two :discourse:

moments have no place in a film where a blow up doll is blown out of the sky with a rocket launcher

I can't rightly say that Roland Emmerich is subtle, but after watching his dogshit film Anonymous (where Shakespeare was a fake and the real playwright was the bastard son of Elizabeth I and also had sex with her) I had the Epiphany that the Independence Day speech is just a stealth adaptation of Henry V's Saint Crispin's Day speech.

I'm watching Living With Yourself on netflix and there's an interesting visual thing in the third episode - at the point where the Clone and Original Paul Rudd are working together to live their best lives with the clone killing it at work and Original working on their play that they kept meaning to get around to, and Original starts slipping, not pulling his weight. At the end of the week, the clone confronts him, and Original is wearing a grey sweater that perfectly blends with the couch that he's sitting on, giving a good visual idea of basically being so lazy that he's becoming one with his environment.

Also the avoid the awkwardness of the ethics of clone sex - Paul sees his clone being taken to bed by their wife, and steps in so at no point is she unknowingly loving a clone.

Spoilers for the final few episodes I did like that when she did have sex with the clone he was bad at it because he'd never had sex before. She even makes a point to say that Original was better than Clone when confronted about it

I mean, not really? The St. Crispin's Day speech mainly praises the (fewer) men who Henry has actually at the battle. Rather than wishing for more troops he says any who want to leave should, but those who stay will have all the greater glory for doing so. A much closer example would be Mel Gibson's speech in Braveheart.

Shakespeare posted:

WESTMORLAND. O that we now had here
But one ten thousand of those men in England
That do no work to-day!

KING. What's he that wishes so?
My cousin, Westmorland? No, my fair cousin;
If we are mark'd to die, we are enough
To do our country loss; and if to live,
The fewer men, the greater share of honour.
God's will! I pray thee, wish not one man more.
By Jove, I am not covetous for gold,
Nor care I who doth feed upon my cost;
It yearns me not if men my garments wear;
Such outward things dwell not in my desires.
But if it be a sin to covet honour,
I am the most offending soul alive.
No, faith, my coz, wish not a man from England.
God's peace! I would not lose so great an honour
As one man more methinks would share from me
For the best hope I have. O, do not wish one more!
Rather proclaim it, Westmorland, through my host,
That he which hath no stomach to this fight,
Let him depart; his passport shall be made,
And crowns for convoy put into his purse;
We would not die in that man's company
That fears his fellowship to die with us.
This day is call'd the feast of Crispian.
He that outlives this day, and comes safe home,
Will stand a tip-toe when this day is nam'd,
And rouse him at the name of Crispian.
He that shall live this day, and see old age,
Will yearly on the vigil feast his neighbours,
And say "To-morrow is Saint Crispian."
Then will he strip his sleeve and show his scars,
And say "These wounds I had on Crispin's day."
Old men forget; yet all shall be forgot,
But he'll remember, with advantages,
What feats he did that day. Then shall our names,
Familiar in his mouth as household words—
Harry the King, Bedford and Exeter,
Warwick and Talbot, Salisbury and Gloucester—
Be in their flowing cups freshly rememb'red.
This story shall the good man teach his son;
And Crispin Crispian shall ne'er go by,
From this day to the ending of the world,
But we in it shall be rememberèd—
We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
For he to-day that sheds his blood with me
Shall be my brother; be he ne'er so vile,
This day shall gentle his condition;
And gentlemen in England now a-bed
Shall think themselves accurs'd they were not here,
And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks
That fought with us upon Saint Crispin's day.

William Wallace: We all end up dead, it’s just a question of how and why. Every man dies, not every man really lives.I am William Wallace! And I see a whole army of my countrymen, here in defiance of tyranny. You’ve come to fight as free men… and free men you are. What will you do with that freedom? Will you fight?
Veteran: Fight? Against that? No! We will run. And we will live.
William Wallace: Aye, fight and you may die. Run, and you’ll live… at least a while. And dying in your beds, many years from now, would you be willin’ to trade ALL the days, from this day to that, for one chance, just one chance, to come back here and tell our enemies that they may take our lives, but they’ll never take… OUR FREEDOM!

PRESIDENT WHITMORE: In less than an hour aircrafts from here will join others from around the world and you will be launching the largest aerial battle in the history of mankind.
PRESIDENT WHITMORE: Mankind, that word should have new meaning for all of us today. We can’t be consumed by our petty differences anymore. We will be united in our common interests.
PRESIDENT WHITMORE: Perhaps it’s fate that today is the 4th of July and you will once again be fighting for our freedom. Not from tyranny, oppression, or persecution. But from annihilation. We’re fighting for our right to live, to exist.
PRESIDENT WHITMORE: And should we win today the 4th of July will no longer be known as an American holiday, but as the day when the world declared in one voice, “We will not go quietly into the night. We will not vanish without a fight. We’re going to live on. We’re going to survive. Today we celebrate our INDEPENDENCE DAY.”

Do not go gentle into that good night:

quote:

Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Though wise men at their end know dark is right,
Because their words had forked no lightning they
Do not go gentle into that good night.

Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright
Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight,
And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way,
Do not go gentle into that good night.

Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight
Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

And you, my father, there on the sad height,
Curse, bless, me now with your fierce tears, I pray.
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
