Do you guys think the Matrix was one of the first franchises hosed over by the studio trying to milk it completely? It had two squeals, The Animatrix, a MMO plus a video game that had exclusive live action cutscenes which filled in gaps between the squeals. What's your guys opinion of Keanu Reeves as an action star in general? He's not a BIG star any more but he still gets work, plus John Wick was REALLY good. And gently caress it, I love Constantine. I thought he did a good job in it.

Darth Walrus posted:ZDT showed torture as unpleasant but useful and arguably vital to taking down Osama. Given the evil, incompetent fucks that the real Maya, Alfreda Bikowsky, and her team were revealed to be (and the not-insignificant amount of evidence that ZDT was their attempt to put a positive spin on their actions before poo poo hit the fan), it's legit to criticise the movie for how it handled it. Yeah, it's poo poo like this why I kind of stay away from these kind of movies. Or at the very least wait for a home release. Hell, even when I saw Inglorious Bastards in theaters there were some guys in from going "HOORA" during the end. (Which to me was on of the most disturbing scenes I ever saw in a movie  ) ZDT I saw in theaters and that was kind of a slog. With the exception of the raid it felt like a movie going from point A to point B with no...I wanna say soul to it but that sounds too hipsterish.

Yeah, Best of The Worst is the better show now. But I totally get being burned and burned out and cynical on mainstream anything (After last night WWE just isn't for me anymore, I have to start watching other companies.) I think it was someone in a thread in the movie board that said Major film making is now down to a mathematical science on what works and what doesn't, leading to everything being the same.

dijon du jour posted:Not to start a huge derail but what the hell happened with WWE the other night? I keep hearing people refer to it in grave tones on Twitter and elsewhere but I can't figure out what exactly happened. Last Sunday was probably the worst Royal Rumble Match the WWE ever did, and usually the Rumble is fun as hell even if the winner sucks. It was just this huge heap of bullshit where nobody looked good (Which, with the exception of a few wrestlers, has been a problem FOR YEARS in the WWE), not even the guy who won it: Roman Reigns. Him winning is whole other can of worms because he has been in the WWE for about three years and is still green as hell. Edit: The WWE also has this issue the past few years when a big show or match is all set and coming up, they will just go into cruise control and do whatever instead of actually put effort into getting the crowd to care about the match. That happened last night I feel. It's clear that Roman is THE NEXT BIG GUY int he WWE but the WWE are doing very little actually make me care about it. Edit: I guess the best way to say it is that for the past few years the people running the WWE are just doing what ever they want with no regard to what their crowds actually want. And when challenged as to why crowds throw poo poo back in their faces their response is basically "It's just the internet smark crowd who will not be happy no matter what we do" With the subtext to that being they don't matter.

I think the bigger problem with Bioshock Infinite is that the fight between the Vox VS the Founders is a bigger part of the story than it should be. The true core to Infinite's story was Comstock and Dewit. Spoilered for your protection. I think what the game wanted to focus more on was how Comstock/Dewit's rage and violent behavior effects the world around him. To Dewit, peaceful decisions are not an option. For example, take the raffle at the start of the game. Your choices are to either throw the baseball at the interracial couple or at the guy running the raffle. You don't get the option to just put the ball back or even pretend to miss. His answer to every problem is to leave a corpse. When Dewit becomes Comstock in another timeline, He becomes a man of god but his behavior doesn't change. Even though he becomes a holy man, doesn't drink or gamble, his answer for everything is still to rack up a body count and that it's god's will that his enemies die. And everyone that followed him learned that violent streak as well. I think at the end of the day Ken Levine had little interest in actually crafting a story that looked at everything wrong with Americana and instead wanted to tell a story of two violent men and how their actions shape the world around them. They just picked the setting of Columbia because they thought it looked cool and for whatever reason, the fight between The Vox and the founders took center stage. Didn't someone say their were major rewrites to the story late in development? BigRed0427 fucked around with this message at 02:30 on Mar 4, 2015 |

I always had a fondness for Future War. I can't explain why. Also Manos. The Answer for the best film is always Manos. I always loved the eastern European fairy tails they watched too, especially The Magic Voyage of Sinbad. I think thats a legit good movie and I want a non riffed version of it. I guess my view of MST3K will always be diffrent because I didn't know who they were until college and was watching through Youtube rips and DVDs.

Darth Walrus posted:Rough summary for those of us not in the know? The Main Event this year is going to be Roman Reigns VS Brock Lesnar for the WWE Title. Roman is considered the heir apparent to be the new top guy in the WWE since John Cena is starting to look at retirement. He is someone who can be that guy and has every advantage, including being related to The Rock. The problem is that he has only been wrestling for 3-4 years and it shows. He's not terrible but not someone who can pull out the kind of match the main event at Wrestlemania needs to be. THe WWE has also failed to make him look like the powerhouse he needs to be. For example, the ending to the Royal Rumble was Roman VS Big Show and Kane, two guys that have been in the WWE since the mid to late 90s. Instead of Having Roman just steamroll two of the monster heels in the WWE, Big Show and Kane are eliminated while they argue with each other. It's one of those WWE endings to a match where we need everyone to still look good at the end but the execution makes it so no one looks good, which has been a problem FOR YEARS! On top of that, the WWE has this completely stacked roster, maybe their best since Hogan's days or the Attitude Era and it feels like they don't know what to do with anyone and their all just kind of there to put over the guys WWE wants to be their stars. My own personal feelings, At the Royal Rumble when Daniel Bryan was eliminated (He looked like he slipped off the ring apron and landed on his feet) The WWE sent a loud and clear message "If you are the kind of fan who likes Daniel Bryan or anyone like him, you don't matter to us" So I stopped watching. Only reason I still have my WWE Network subscription is NXT. Full disclosure though, I haven't watched WWE since The Royal Rumble so maybe they made Roman to look good.

Not to keep the wrestling themed derail going (It's this or Gamergate  ) but i've been thinking a lot about wrestling and how it operates as a narrative. Like, how Luke Skywalker's hero's journey compares to Steve Austin's, stuff like that.From Summerslam 2013 onwards the WWE, and i guess we could call it's author Vince McMahon, stumbled rear end first into it's greatest story in years: The Rise of Daniel Bryan. Now Bryan taking on the Authority was meant nothing more than a place holder, filler till either John Cena came back or Vince thought of something better. Daniel Bryan was never meant to be champion or be the top guy in the company. But in those six or so months he created the biggest star, the greatest hero, since Cena. Then the fans revolted because it became clear Vince was never going to give the fans the ending they wanted: Bryan as champion and The Authority defeated. Vince did finally give that ending at Wrestlemania 30, changing what ever his original plans were. Now for Wrestlemania 31, he is putting on Roman Reigns VS Brock Lesner. He is facing a huge fan backlash again but this time he is sticking to his guns. I guess I am wondering to what extent does an author owe his audience the ending they want, even if it's to a story they don't want to tell? If the fans want Daniel Bryan as Champion, does he have an obligation to give that to him?

I get the vibe that the show was supposed to piss me off and that I wasn't actually supposed to enjoy it, especially the end of the series. Do you mind if I ask why you don't like the show? Just curious. If it's because Shinji is a whiny baby who does nothing, well it's because of that why he is one of my favorite... I won't say hero cause what's a hero. Shinji Asuka and Rei all suffer from depression and try and deal with it in different ways. (And fail) Shinji ultimately is a huge mess because he hates himself and has no sense of who he is as a person. I always interpreted the final two episodes as Shinji realizing that if he ever wants a healthy relationship with anyone he has to learn to love himself first. Plus It's never to late to change. Even in the face of the apocalypse. I always found comfort in that

Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't Eva kind of have a pulp fiction effect on anime? After it came out you started to see drivitives to it, in Eva's case it was shoes that were trying to deep and philosophical. Ergo Proxy and Elfin Laid stick out as the worst examples of that.

Handicapped girl is secretly a monster girl whose species has invisible arms whose only purposes seem to be turning people into gore fountains and raping human women. Handicapped girl becomes a serial killer when she is hit on the head. For some reason we are supposed to feel sympathy for her because all humans deserve to die for killing one puppy or something. I did eventually read a synopsis. The handicapped girl and the others like her are some kind of diffrent race of humans and the scientist who made them is using them to take over the world...or something. I think I'm putting more thought into this show than the makers did...or not enough. gently caress it, lets talk about good Anime. Go Watch Madoka Magica.
