Writing your own "what if..." Because you can't accept the story being presented to you is the exact opposite of deconstructing the narrative being presented to you. It's ignoring it and positing your own fan fiction as fact, or in this case "canon" as fact goes out the window when dealing with a fictional story.

I don't know why you guys bother conversing with a grown man who considers playtime with his Kenner Aliens action figures as continuity in a franchise that actively tries to distance itself from it. e: also, Death Proof is a masterpiece.

Xenomrph posted:I've added some minor stuff to wikis here and there, but I just don't have the time or patience to argue with the kind of autistic hyper-spergs that wikis tend to attract. CelticPredator posted:Only because you like them and want them to be. Also, the scene with Billy in the original Predator was the subversion of the "epic knife fight" trope. Predators wasn't a subversion of anything. It was a cliche "epic knife fight" complete with dumb fight poses and "his blade cut me, he moves so fast" bullshit. There's nothing subverting or interesting about it. It's like saying the heavy gunner guys death was a subversion of Jesse Ventura's character because he was Russian instead of American.

Xenomrph posted:Fun fact: in 'Predators', the characters encounter another generic alien that the Predators have captured to hunt (and if I remember right, Lawrence Fishburne shoots it). That alien's design is based on the Predator's original design before Stan Winston overhauled it, but with a different head. I thought that was a fun Easter egg. None of your posts are factual or fun. Flat fact.

I loved that Prometheus reused Giger's hive concepts for the alien buildings, I really hope they use more of his artwork for the sequel. There's a great doc on Netflix about Giger that gives a peek at the mountains of work he accumulated in his life. It's really good, and makes me want to visit his hometown and check out the Giger Museum. They shot it right before he died, so it's pretty much the period on the end of his life's work. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZAs2FKH3DGc

Exactly. Giger suffered with some personal demons but it was cool seeing him find solace and comfort surrounded by his work and his small circle of friends/family. How could you be depressed watching Giger ride around on his little garden nightmare train?

boom boom boom posted:you just got mad at me for not explaining my opinion about Under the Skin. what's your opinion on Under the Skin? Opinion on what's literally presented on screen or opinion on what your cognizant brain took as the meaning from what was presented on screen? Because those are two different things. Following your logic is like trying to follow someone who can't picture God as anything other than a ten foot man with a beard, or a person whose ideal version of America is only their tunneled white-sheltered view. Movies can be so much more than wikipedia lists of continuity and what you see is what you get, purposefully dumbing down the scope of your thinking just to win an internet argument is pretty loving narcissistic. E: can she not be both alien and human? Can God be both a ten foot man in one brain and a metaphysical manifestation of love and connection between humanity in another? ruddiger fucked around with this message at 20:12 on May 8, 2016 |

MrMojok posted:I don't know which guy you mean, but I'm not agreeing with any of you, except for the one who just said movies can be about different things. What kind of war do you think Vietnam was? Good guys vs bad guys? It was a generation of drafted poors fighting a puppet socialist country, to say "it's about Vietnam" is the laziest loving thing to say. Like, no poo poo it's about a war, but when you go out of your way and associate it with one of the most politically loaded police actions in this country's history, stopping the discussion at "it's about Vietnam" is pretty juvenile, and just goes to show how stupid we let ourselves get as a species. These ideas about movies aren't anything new, but the aggressiveness at anything other than the most basic interpretation is pretty sad.

SuperMechagodzilla posted:"Here we are again, bro. Just you and me. Same kind of moon, same kind of jungle." This poo poo is so much better than "well in the official Predator handbook blah blah blah" because it's also an insight into the thought processes of the actual people making the movie instead of an insight to a bunch of sweaty nerds trying to fit any little detail mentioned by the movie into their cramped continuity boxes. I'd rather disseminate what McTiernan and Black were going for than learning the technical name of the Predator's loving med pack.

SuperMechagodzilla posted:It's very easy to approach Predator as an Alien sequel, with the ship at the start being Ripley's escape pod - returning her to Earth altered by her experiences, and wearing her symbolic armor. It's a great parallel to the police barricade scene in Return of the Living Dead (also by O'Bannon).

Xenomrph posted:James Cameron has also done more for filmmaking technology than Snyder could ever hope to. His ability to realize a specific artistic vision no matter what it takes and no matter how many people he pisses off, even if it means literally having new technology invented so he can accomplish it, is second only to maybe Kubrick. Zack Snyder did revolutionary greenscreen work on 300 that the industry still copies today. Sorry you didn't read the wikipedia page about it.

Xenomrph posted:I just checked the Wikipedia page, where does it mention his revolutionary green screen work? No one ever said Zack Snyder has contributed as much to filmmaking on a technical level as Cameron. I said that Cameron was the Snyder of the 80s. They make movies and could give a gently caress what others think. They work with big ideas and formulate the story around those ideas. They pioneer new ways of shooting, new lenses, new cameras, new techniques. Other directors ape them directly after their movies are released. Seeing as how you slowly morph your posts to shadow better ones in this thread, I'll enjoy your wiki dump in a couple months espousing all your knowledge of Snyder that you've scoured from the internet. ruddiger fucked around with this message at 00:01 on Jul 30, 2016 |
