Miss Wallace posted:Ha ha, it probably should have been. I also cut out most of Shauni's subplot where she goes to a bad inner city neighborhood to get the kids she rescued into the swim program. In that case though it was mostly because it was boring. Honestly, just the one clip we got was enough

e X posted:Has it ever been a popular theory that the Machines are actually the good guys during the movies? Because I maintain that what they did was fundamentally a kindness,albeit a very costly one, at least from their perspective. That's the theory I hold to as well--since the human battery theory in the film is a bit silly. You'd get more energy by burning the food that people eat than what you get from the body, let alone when you factor in what is lost in the growing process--all real estate that could be put to use for more practical forms of energy production, like synthetic petroleum or geothermal stuff.

Jay O posted:I saw pretty much all of them and NOPE. Big sad nope. The Lego Movie was good. That is literally the only one. (And "boo it didn't get nom'd for an Oscar," I guess, but even though it was the best animated movie to come out in 2014, I don't think I'd call it "Oscar-good." It's a pure family comedy start to finish that just so happens to be genuinely funny, but for Best Animated Feature, I tend to expect something more than "A good comedy despite its marketing-built premise, and due entirely to the presence of our Lord & Miller, saviors of stillborn movie premises.") We didn't get anything like that this year. Just one question: What possessed you to see The Nut Job?

Tatum Girlparts posted:I love the idea of 200 dollars being a good game show prize. Shows that pay cash pay big cash because, ya know, people want big cash. Why not make it a cool thing worth about that? People are more forgiving about cheap prizes if the prize is a cool thing. Cash Cab got away with low cash prizes. But then, you didn't have to dress up for Cash Cab. You were getting into a cab and suddenly eligible to win dozens, nay, hundreds of dollars. All that these "contestants" have to do is realize that there are gameshow laws, get a lawyer, and Michaud & Co. are hosed.

poparena posted:From personal experience, people rarely request things they think are bad. I think the only time it's happened for SFDebris was with Howard the Duck and Battlefield Earth, and it's never happened to me. 99% of the time, these people are looking to get their positive views on a work vindicated. The intro the the Howard the Duck review was hilarious, explaining how he got the request.

Jay O posted:Yeah, the movie was originally a 2.5 hour cut with a lot more character DO-RA-MA in it, and they made Whedon cut that stuff down to the bare minimum with greater focus on the action and plot. That's why he's said he won't be working on future Avengers films. His beautiful, brilliant character angst was cut. What remains in the film is like all Whedon character drama: effective if you're 13, eye-rolling if you're not. This is probably for the best. I like Whedon, but it would have been bad to have him get any more control of one of these films. I have a feeling that they will find someone as good or better to do the next one (probably better, since Disney/Marvel is richer than god at the moment.)

Jay O posted:Time once again to SHAME A GOON. Yeah, it's not like she's trying to do a thesis paper in these videos. She's talking about key themes than make up the character and the ways in which he or she (or it) has changed over the years. In a situation like this, where the "character" is older than old, you can use a small set of examples to represent a larger set of archetypes that they tend to follow and the themes that they represent. She also, in the case of Black Butler and Dead Like Me, noted some less common representations, such as being portrayed as a bureaucracy.

For one, it feels like a lesser experience when played months/years apart. For another, if they had waited and released the whole thing at once, they might have done some of the things recommended in Pre-Rec, like making you switch between characters earlier and more often.
