Beefstew posted:Because professional filmmakers totally watch internet critics. http://www.slashfilm.com/watch-this-70-minute-video-review-of-star-wars-the-phantom-menace/ quote:Some guy named Mike from Milwaukee, WI put together a 70-minute video review discussing the many reasons why the movie was horrible. And this isn’t your usual fanboy rant, this is an epic, well-edited well-constructed piece of geek film criticism. In fact, the way I learned about the video was from Lost co-creator and Star Trek producer Damon Lindelof, who said “Your life is about to change. This is astounding film making. Watch ALL of it.” Watch the video review embedded after the jump.

Max Wilco posted:I think that highlights another problem with video game movies; a lot of video games draw from films. The original Mortal Kombat is comparable to Enter The Dragon, Silent Hill was heavily inspired by Jacob's Ladder, Resident Evil is inspired by George Romero's zombie films, and Max Payne (I forgot about the Max Payne film) was styled after John Woo films. It's kind of like a copy of a copy, in that you're watching an imitation of something that was taking inspiration from something else. Not that big of a problem, modern genre cinema is incestual on its own, with highest-grossing movie of all time being a competently made patchwork of sci-fi cliches and most successful movies of the last year being safe retreads. It is just that the Hollywood rights hustle was less kind to video games than to superhero comics or YA novels.

Infamous Sphere posted:Internet atheism being linked to misogyny is so bizarre to me, because there's nothing inherently misogynistic about atheism. At its core, it's a lack of belief in higher power/s and doesn't have anything to do with one's opinions on women? Here how it goes: rationalist/objective scientific atheist worldview goes hand in hand with the highly abstract view of social issues. What if we just don't see gender and race, recognize that we are all stardust and live in peace? We should build more space stations, they are going to solve everything! In that view, both hardcore misoginists (mostly religion practioners, because religion is the root of all evil, yes sir) and feminists, who campaign for more rights (to achieve equality) are perceived as the divisers who want preferential treatment. Silly meatbags! Add to that the ironclad belief in the power of STEM and the casual dismissal of any social and philosophical thought. Add to that falling into the trap of evospych or HBD - it sounds scientific, then it must be right! The conflicts between various feminist and atheist communities ensured that it is basically a self-sustaining branch of modern atheist thought: religious right in the West is losing ground, "top 10 creationist owns" don't not bring as much clicks as smug takedowns of "emotional" and "non-rational" feminists. fatherboxx fucked around with this message at 12:01 on May 13, 2016 |

Neddy Seagoon posted:GitS and Appleseed aren't set in the same world. GiTS is roughly 20-30 years from now, Appleseed is a post-apocalyptic setting about the last (or one of a few) intact and thriving cities rebuilding after a global war. One of their standing jobs is actually tracking down stray soldiers still fighting eachother out the ruins worldwide to tell them the war is over. drat, Shirow had such a great eye for sci-fi concepts and action and for the last 20 years all that he has been doing was glossy porn.

He's a good music reviewer but man oh loving man what in the Lord's name is he loving doing with this meme review poo poo. Like, McIntosh is loving idiotic, I agree with him on that, but good Lord are these reviews just a bunch of hot alt-right/4chan pandering garbage. I stopped watching him after he had loving Sargon of Akkad as a guest and, in general. he got too high on his memelord hype like a lot of youtube personalities.

I think the reason why Hercules, and Atlantis, and Treasure Planet underperformed because they were more straight-up boy adventure movies and not lush, ambitious productions with broader appeal, like Beauty and the Beast and Alladin. These movies are beloved by nerdy millenials who dig Gerald Scarfe and Mike Mignola, but they didn't do much to fulfill the demand for the universal, moral-centered super-entertainment that earned a Best Picture nomination for B&B. Hercules is still the best Superman movie.

DStecks posted:That section of the Plinkett TFA review was absolute gibberish. "Diversity is good, but we don't actually need it, so it's bad, but it's good, but I didn't like it". And "Look at this black kid happily playing with a white action figure" takes the cake for the title of Most White Guy Thing ever said in a RLM video. The bizarre argument over Sam Jackson (that he was cast just to appeal to ~urban~ audiences) was the weakest part of the prequel reviews too.

Augus posted:hbomberguy posted a new thing as a fan of hbomb's output, I think this one is really bad The main argument and the lengthy clowning on Image bois sound like a video about ludonarrative dissonance in Uncharted series... made in 2016. This poo poo has been parroted back and forth for ten years and people completely lost the thread, not being able to draw a line between British Invasion authors and whatever followed them. Like, Liefeld abominations have nothing to do with Killing Joke! If you want to talk about its bad influence on superhero comics (not comics in general, thank god) and the commodification of "tragedy in campy land", you should look at bad writing, not muscle Wolverine cyborgs: Todd Mcfarlane's woeful attempts at psychology in Spawn, Geoff Johns, Brad Meltzer, the refrigerator business in Green Lantern, basically every "supervillain gone really bad" plot. What the hell do Mark Waid and Art Spiegelman(!) have with ~ruining comics~ and being in the same sentence with Moore and Gaiman? no mention of Brian Bolland and John Higgins when discussing art and the interpretation of Moore's scripts is also shameful fatherboxx fucked around with this message at 15:19 on Dec 3, 2016 |

Hbomberguy posted:However my larger point doesn't concern a direct correlation, but rather the constant creative problems mainstream big-business comics seem to face. Good ideas get commodified and repackaged poorly. (I cut out a lengthy tangent about the works which, to me, were directly 'inspired' by Maus in a similar fashion, and are significantly more boring to read than any of Liefeld's output. But I felt I'd made the point already - obviously not - and wanted to focus specifically on superhero stuff.) I get your point, but I still think that you're wrong, because in the 90s, the money was not in Alan Moore's experiments and brave ideas, but rather in X-men being cool, colourful and sexy. Which is why most Image founders projects were X-men with more knives, guns, gunknives and skintight suits. Before Liefeld gave Moore a chance to do whatever the hell he wanted with Supreme, he just commisioned scripts for his own angry cyborgs! If anything, for Liefeld, Moore was just a famous name who could have helped his comic get a bit more cred in Wizard. I think the commodification that is evident in Killing Joke movie is not a comic industry problem, but rather a result of the modern approach to comics as an IP farm by the big owners of the Big Two. In comics, creators cannibalize their betters and predecessors out of honest adoration. But in big media, it is way more mercenary - the goal is watering the originals enough so they could be molded into movies, cartoons and toasters. It is less about borrowing the power found in an image or concept (Wolverine turned into bladier Wolverine because Liefeld luvz sniktbub) and more riding on the name recognition - which then turns into exploiting anything that survived in critical memory past the release date. quote:Hbomber focuses a lot on the art because, while Moore wasn't the artist, he gave a lot of direction to the artist, giving a touch to it that Liefeld and other creators like him fail to recapture because they didn't really get it. Liefeld ripping off his own character in the video shown is much like his known ripping off of other darker characters, as well as his attempts to make darker and edgier comics that fall flat because he is trying to recapture the magic of characters and books that he doesn't quite get the depth of. Rob Liefeld has poor imagination, which is why he is incapable of... following overly elaborate directions of a scipt? Superdetailed scripts did not help much with art in early Supreme and Moore's Youngblood issues, despite artists following his directions on camera angles and character placement.
