He's been losing a little weight for a while, but today he's hiding and seems really weak.

Hiding is a very bad sign. Take that kitty cat to the vet asap.

Snak posted:So far I've started with the second one (no particular reason), but it's just kind of on in the background, so I'm only halfway paying attention. BENGHAZI 2 posted:The one from the day after the election, We Live in the Zone Now, the Reign over Me Grey Wolf episode, the two tabeltop grey wolf episodes The tabletop episodes are a terrible introduction cause it mostly inside jokes. Just listening from the start is a good way to get all the jokes, and there's the stand alone episodes like Reign Over My Face, but if 50+ hours of year-old topical humor gets tiresome jumping ahead to We Live in the Zone Now is a solid plan.

There's one fantastic shot in Parallel Monsters, when the guy from the regular universe runs outside to see a giant neon Satan blimp in the sky, but otherwise it's profoundly lame

I actually think I liked all of those segments. None of them are like, 5 star perfect but there's enough in each of them to like

glam rock hamhock posted:In general, I wouldn't say it's the top one in the film but that's only because the cult one is hard to top in terms of insanity. Like it's probably the least interesting segment thematically of the first two films but it's also the most balls to the walls crazy. The cult one is just a cluttered remake of Rosemary's Baby, which isn't a bad thing but it doesn't have any bite at all.

SPAA is clearly the best segment of all the movies though like, there's something magical about lines like "suck my dick, human being" "I don't wanna!"

There's something entertainingly brutal about their suffering - I think I remember a bit where he's trapped in a bag that's filling with water, which I dig. Parallel Monsters is almost really good but it doesn't stick the landing on the horrifying idea of being in a world that's utterly, unforgivably wrong but is also otherwise dully normal. It's the same sense I get when I have to work on Ash Wednesday and people keep walking through the lobby with crosses smudged on their foreheads.

I was gonna do $15 bottomless mimosas and brunch today. Instead I'm drinking cheap champagne by myself, straight from the bottle. Probably about the same. edit: It is not. This champagne is terrible. Josh Lyman fucked around with this message at 17:07 on Apr 30, 2017 |

re: Free Fire I wonder if I'd like Ben Wheatley's films more if someone else was writing the script.

Ok turns out I made a couple smaller posts rather than an effort post, but here they are, shoved awkwardly into one quote blockJenny posted:13 Hours gets pretty drat dope once the attack starts. My favorite characters are the two pretty boy 17 Feb fighters who follow Pornstache around and have no idea what the gently caress's going on but really want to help

I got to overhear a guest say he'd just seen 13 Hours and that it was a "great movie about why we should blow all those sand gooks to hell".

On a scale of "deplorables" to Comey's letter, how much would you say 13 Hours shaped the 2016 election narrative?

Probably very little, given it was a financial failure and didn't say anything about Clinton in the first place

I have some political hangups with 13 Hours, but just barely. It's a really well put together movie. I liked it a lot.

I'd put good money that it absolutely legitimized the dumbass Benghazi narrative for a lot of people and further galvanized them against Clinton.

I wonder if it's financial failure was partially because of liberals avoiding it on principle. I did for quite awhile until I heard praise here and then rented it.

This is an extremely bizarre thing to get hung up on, especially given that hardly anybody was talking about Benghazi at all by November Look the fundamentals of the Clinton campaign were solid, and for the Democrats to win in 2020 we just need to make sure that... [peers into crystal ball] Michael Bay doesn't release a commercial failure about a minor campaign issue that never mentions our candidate

Nobody thinks 13 Hours swung the election, that would be reductive and stupid. It's just another stone in that weird tinfoil-hat bridge to the glorious republican tomorrowland.Josh Lyman posted:"There's a movie coming out about how Hillary did Benghazi!" Basically this, the fact that a movie was produced about it is enough for some people. Magic Hate Ball fucked around with this message at 17:55 on Apr 30, 2017 |

Thanks Jenny! I agree with just about all your points and really felt sorry for the PTSD'd driver even though he should have just turned left! The zombie land shots are gorgeous too and how it turns out after they leave is heartbreaking. Also I was reading some articles about it and people rented out the cowboys stadium to debut it and showed it at rallies to thousands of people. Could contribute to more people seeing it than the box office reflects. But really they never show "evil" middle eastern people besides the one non speaking character who is the "leader". Most of them who are not combatants are just sitting around watching tv.
