Carthag Tuek posted:tbh i think the "british food is bland" meme is overplayed. ive had a lot of excellent british food. but lol that that detail made it into the american film version Every country has its culinary cross to bear when depicted in movies. British food is bland and goopy, German food is meat and greasy, Indian food is curry, French food is baguettes and cheese, American food is sugar and fat. I appreciate recent Fincher movie The Killer for not using its exotic venues for stereotypical food porn that much, instead the protagonist stuffs his face with the toppings of McDonald's poo poo.

Turned me right off of wanting to be a wrestler, though the guy in question (I think it was Lance Storm) is a lovable dork.

the soylent creator is weird, like they wanted to minmax their code monkey time so they wanted to kill their gut flora to stop pooping, they wanted to buy bulk jumpsuits and wear and throw them away to zero out laundry time and be "environmental", and wanted to live in a uhaul so they could live in the parking lot of their work.

The Looney Tunes Show S1E16: That's My Baby Porky Pig is filling out some paperwork and tells Bugs Bunny he can have the pen when he's done, but he is actually holding a pencil. Show gets a pass for explaining to kids what an up-sell is though. People keep pushing product on poor Porky. poo poo is hosed up.

Pretty much everything we've been broadcasting for the last hundred years decays into background noise before it even reaches our closest neighbors. https://www.quora.com/How-far-do-radio-signals-travel-into-space-before-they-degrade-to-a-degree-beyond-being-possible-to-be-detected

I was watching one of the Vinesauce lads playing Voices of the Void, a horror game from a solo developer about decoding spooky signals from space and encountering spooky things. He recorded a video saying "NO ALIENS! ALIENS STAY OUT! PROTECTIVE SHIELD! ANTI-ALIEN ALARM!" and put it on the in-game TV, and put the TV on a roomba, and released it into the woods. That didn't work for long, but one of his chat clipped the sound and then beamed it into space from the high-powered radio transmitter at their work. So we better hope it'll decay or we'll really hurt some alien's feelings.

He willingly subjects himself to something that scares the piss out of him for comedy.

Since it was discussed a few pages ago how Beast from the X-Men comics was at best an irresponsible asshat always bordering on supervilliany, I rewatched X-Men: Days of Future Past and it's kinda perfect that he is basically an enabler to Charles Xavier's drug addiction. Just full on "He's lost too much, here I have prepared an extra dose because you missed the last one" while doing sad "He's such a wreck, right" looks at everyone else. My IIMM is that this movie is fantastic on so many levels, from acting to production design to pacing and writing and what have you, and nothing got followed up on in the sequel. I haven't even seen the Phoenix movie but/because X-Men: Apocalypse just throws away everything DoFP builds as a foundation, it wastes all the actors and it looks like Wonder Woman 84 before Wonder Woman 84 was a thing. A catastrophic drop in quality all around that I can't wrap my head around.

If you thought X-Men: Apocalypse was a waste of potential, X-Men: Dark Phoenix is an atrocity. The principal actors look like they don't want to be there; Jennifer Lawrence is barely in it and it's painfully obvious she's there just to get a paycheck.

It's pretty amazing how First Class set things up so nicely as a prequel. Then Days of Future Past kind of bridged the gap between the old X-Men movies and the new, giving them an even fresher start to go and do fun poo poo. And then it just goes off a cliff and explodes hard. And all this way before superhero fatigue was even a thing; people thought Marvel would make Avengers movies in perpetuity when the X-Men were starting to poo poo the bed for the second time!

Grendels Dad posted:It's pretty amazing how First Class set things up so nicely as a prequel. Still curious how they plan to weave the FF and the X-Men into the MCI and your post reminded me that I hope they go period piece route with just those two groups of heroes and, like, Magneto and Doom. Reed and Xavier trying to out intellect each other combined with the conflicting motives of Victor and Max open up some cool storytelling possibilities, assuming Marvel still cares about that poo poo. If you set things in the late 60's or early 70's, you can also explore the "why does everyone hate mutants but the FF are celebrities " thing. They can always time travel them if they really have to but the MCU is already a convoluted mess and people are losing interest. I don't see how adding FF or Xmen into this toy box is gonna work.

He reaches out to touch around him, feeling nothing. He whispers "hello?" quietly, then, with confidence, declares that there is no one else on earth because everyone else has been murdered.
