Baka-nin posted:Oh and I really the love the bit where Bale's nemesis is getting visibly angry in the middle of the street while denying that he has feelings, and on the contrary it is Bale who is having the feels. "Dystopian ruling body is actually corrupt and hypocritical" isn't a new concept, so I don't think that part is weird.

Baka-nin posted:Yeah, that isn't what's happening in that scene, its the opposite in fact. The guy is correct that Chirstian Bale has been rebelling but Bale has framed him so, he defends himself, but even though his character is supposed to be still on that magic drug that suppresses emotions, he denies the accusations by visible and obvious frustration. Its part of Equilibriums overall sloppiness, when its not doing a cool action scene or a melodramatic flashback its really not interested and is just biding its time till it gets to another shootout scene. See you said in the middle of the street so I was thinking it was the scene where Brandt is visibly arresting Preston (Bale's character), kicking him around and telling everyone in the area "LOOK AT THIS loving TRAITOR", not the scene afterwards where he finds out that Preston swapped guns with him at some point to set him up and his protestations to the contrary as he's being dragged away. Especially since in the street scene he's chewing all the scenery as hard as possible. So it sounds to me like you've mixed two different scenes together. Also keep in mind earlier DuPont snaps at Preston when he thinks he's not being forthcoming enough on his progress on finding the Resistance, complete with table pounding. My point being that this kind of contrarianism isn't much different from how it is in Fahrenheit 451 (the chief keeps and reads books), or Brave New World (the ones in charge frequently look at or review otherwise banned media). I don't consider it sloppy, per-se. Angry_Ed fucked around with this message at 22:15 on Feb 20, 2017 |

Tender Bender posted:I just watched the clip from Transformers 3 where Optimus Prime is getting the poo poo beaten out of him by Leonard Nimoy bot, then gets the upper hand and literally blows his brains out, then Megatron, who had saved him, offers a truce, to which Prime says "nope" and loving murders him too. I have no idea who these movies are for, the combination of idiot baby toys with loud ugly action complete with robots being basically disemboweled is such a weird match. It gets worse. In 4 (Age of Extinction) he forces the Dinobots at swordpoint to fight on his side. Like there's a long fight where he's basically yelling "I'M TRYING TO SAVE YOU" while beating the poo poo out of Grimlock (who of course doesn't have his idiosyncratic speech patterns and thus is indistinguishable from any other of these walking hunks of metal that look like a knife store exploded) and then goes "JOIN OR DIE" while threatening to behead him. Naturally they do, and the Autobots are all like "Man Optimus is so awesome" when he literally press-ganged/conscripted a bunch of robots into their war. It's a really big departure from "Freedom is the right of all Sentient Beings". Of course as has been pointed out, Bayformer Optimus is an unhinged psychopath. 4 is the worst-rated Transformers film yet still the 16th highest grossing movie of all time. Who is watching these? The only reason I know about the scene I mentioned is because I worked at a Best Buy for a time and that was the movie they played in front of the Magnolia Home Theater department for what felt like 2 months straight.

thrawn527 posted:Sure, but I thought he stayed died for quite a while after the animated movie? Like, for the purposes of the movie he was straight up dead. And then for a while after that in the show. Beast Wars actually takes place before Transformers due to time travel shenanigans. So Optimus Prime is there, he's just in stasis lock (robot coma), and even then he almost dies. I don't know much about Transformers outside of Beast Wars but I do recall it basically being that Optimus gets killed off in the movie, then he gets brought back at the end of the season of the TV series following said movie due to fan backlash.

I listen to audiobooks at 1.25x to 1.5x speed since I can still basically follow them and said audiobooks are 40 hours long otherwise, so I don't think it's that strange to do it for podcasts especially if you have a large library of them. When I drove 90+ minutes to and from work 5 days a week (combined) I could get through a weeks worth of podcasts no problem, nowadays I don't do that anymore so sometimes it becomes harder to get through everything, but I'm fine with having a backlog.

duz posted:I Don't Even Own a Television covered RPO early in their history.

Well at least you thought harder about this than I did once I formed a really bad conclusion out of it, fair play to you. I can't believe I missed the most obvious and benign explanation like that.

Calaveron posted:The riddles aren't even clever in universe. Like the world knows everything they need to know about the Willy Wonka stand in (he was a huge, unlikeable nerd who liked video games and comic books and d&d and every bit of 80's American pop culture) and they can't figure out what it means when the riddle refers to the key being stuck in a "tomb of horrors" which is the name of literally the most well known dungeons and dragons adventure module Yeah like as the book went on I kept wondering why I knew every reference being made. If Ernest Cline actually lived in the 1980s shouldn't he be dropping something that isn't obvious or surface level? I'm pretty sure that only happened once (for me) when he made a reference to the arcade game Black Tiger. That's it. Everything else was really obvious or really banal, and then capping off the whole thing by having to quote all of Monty Python and the Holy Grail, a thing that has been used as a joke by everyone from The Simpsons to Weird Al. It's like he was afraid to actually try to be clever because he was worried about making it inaccessible despite the fact that this would automatically be inaccessible to anyone who isn't a huge goddamn nerd who absorbs pop culture through nostalgia and memes.

Elderbean posted:That one is also one of the most blatant "this was originally another movie" scripts because it's basically a straight up slasher but pinhead shows up sometimes. I was under the impression that someone wrote a script about VIDEO GAME MURDERS due to the explosion of MMOS in the early 2000s but then no one wanted it so they made it Hellraiser. I was going to say the original intent of the script probably was a casualty of Stay Alive (that Frankie Muniz movie about a killer video game) being terrible but that came out a year later so who knows really.

GoutPatrol posted:I played endless weekends of Teras Kasi with my brother and friends and that was a terrible loving game. Worse than the Episode 1 beat em up one. I don't really know if I can ever bring myself to consider it "terrible" because my friends and I had fun with it, but I won't claim it's a great game. Though it did have its moments, like one time winning a fight as Luke in the Dagobah stage, he does his post-win pose and quote, then falls into the swamp because he got positioned to ring-out after the fight. Or stuff like Darth Vader being able to dodge projectile weapons (because The Force), but if you used Han's seeker shot attack Vader just shuffles back and forth to dodge shots going over his head...which then turn right around and smack him in the back. Or debates whether Luke's pallette swap that puts him in ROTJ attire makes him more powerful than his default (because nerds). And also a Tusken Raider named "Hoar" because what the gently caress are we even doing. The Vosgian Beast posted:Speaking of, the book version of Shadows is hot garbage people have fond memories of because they haven't gone back and read it since they were teens. I know Xizor is allegedly supposed to be a reptilian alien but he looks more like someone saw The Mandarin from the Iron Man cartoons that were on at the time and was like "what if that, but in space". So he's more like a Date Rapist Yellow Peril Man. Getting super turbomurdered by Luke + Friends and also Vader is barely good enough for him.
