Burkion posted:Do random celebs get hassled when they're some where they aren't known to be? Opposite, around their home people would be respectful to a fellow member of the community and people don't bat eyes as much. A celebrity goes to say a random out-of-town Waffle House, people want autographs, pictures, some type of experience. There is no "far enough away" that people aren't starfuckers at a certain level of celebrity but there is a close enough to home for them.

Tezzor posted:It's not that complicated to understand why people think you're lying. It's first, obviously, because the movies CD feels the most compelled to defend - the prequels, Transformers, Man of Steel, etc - are, among the fanbase outside of this forum, generally considered among to be failed, embarrassing, bottom-tier trash for idiots. The first TRANSFORMERS was an innocuous, fun fantasy romp about a boy and his first car and it was good.

I did see it, with the animation that makes bad claymation look smooth and nice, toy cameos being wrongly called cast of characters because Batman is Batman is Batman and you know Batman, and the no laughs.

RBA Starblade posted:What are your thoughts on Wonder Woman (tm), Flash (tm), and Aquaman (tm) appearing in DC(c)'s Batman (tm) v Superman (tm): Dawn of Justice (tm)? Not good if their mere appearance and our previous knowledge of them is all we're given to work with, but it actually seems like they may be the new Amber, Rocket, and Blondie to our Sweet Pea vs Baby Doll, which is to say far more artistic than given credit for.

TetsuoTW posted:Except that Lego Movie Batman was very obviously poking fun at Batman Batman. Like so obviously that literal children got it. Tiny little actual manlets barely past understanding that things that are behind them still exist were able to catch that. Yes, because it was a comedy for children so Batman fit that. And the joke of Batman was still that Batman has to be Batman for the jokes to work, making him the exact character I'm claiming. You may see the forest of idiot children quite clearly but you can't quite escape it yourself, huh? You liked the movie a whole heck of a lot, apparently, where I thought it poo poo. What a great world we live in!

TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES (1990) was viewed enough to warrant the tape being respooled and I can mostly quote along with it today. As what qualifies as an adult, I put on LES ENFANTS DU PARADIS a lot and I've watched BEYOND THE BLACK RAINBOW a bunch of times. It's cool to watch things a lot.

I said come in! posted:You could argue though that some of these beliefs are misguided. Social and economic policy are connected to each other and a lot of people don't understand how having differing views on both creates a lot of confusing conflict. Conservative fiscal policy tends to hurt social progress. No human could exist if not full of and tangled in contradictions. Holding conflicting points of view is how new paths are created where holding onto direct causality is what leads people to vote along political lines for the most typical reasons. "Policy" is right and a symptom of the governing system to which we belong, not the belief systems of constituents. The media loves to show caricatures so often that people actually confuse a correlation between the perceived voter and what ends up being done in their names but this isn't a direct democracy and both major parties are equally to blame for being 50% correct and holding that reality hostage to their other, incorrect halves. From where I stand, I see no way that ends without people becoming even more contradictory. That said, you're right. You are. It's an ocean and there's a lot of ways to traverse it.

Sir Kodiak posted:I'm actually more bothered by the assumption that the two political parties encompass the entirety of correct political thought, ignoring both their significant agreement, and the vast territory of possibilities neither will consider. It's actually that neither party is correct, neither is the solution, and divvying actual blame is an abjectly masturbatory thing to do. Like the old saying, you vote right if you have a brain and you vote left if you have a heart. Kumbaya, I'm sure by their forces combined much good could be done but that isn't happening so what I'm left with is playing the devil's advocate for both. My genuine stance comes down to having absolutely zero political affiliation as I don't believe any person should be forced to live in the ways that I want to, and that I would never attempt to exert that force on another person.

axelord posted:It's been my experience that most people when asked if they liked a movie will state their opinion and a short statement why. Not because they are incapable of articulating an objective critique but that is not what the person asking is interested in listening to or maybe they are not interested in making one. Wait, so you casually ask people if they liked a movie, they respond appropriately with a cogent, succinct piece of information to accompany that answer, and that sends you into an internal dialogue about wether or not that person is mentally capable of discussing the deep, thematic meaning of cars exploding during THE AVENGERS? Okay, this checks out.

THOR 1 was Asgard policing realms, same as in 2, AGENTS the Kree came a long time ago to experiment with what would be Inhumans, GOTG we don't really know why the came but probably something specific and insignificant, and AVENGERS 1 was a summoning via portal and not really anyone actually coming to Earth. AVENGERS 1 said it, we were evolutionarily babbys and so no one out there cared until the Infinity Stone started broadcasting that we're interesting to gently caress with now hence Thanos gathering the goods for his lone Michael Jackson sparkle glove.

CelticPredator posted:The Alien is good in the comics, but requires way too much set up to do it justice. Not really. Felt very much in-line with what Ronald Reagan said, roughly, that world peace would require a threat from outside the world. It fit completely with my reading of the book, motifs I was picking up on. All it would require is a character saying something to the same effect.

They were like action movies. Except the action is broken up by incredibly old men repeating themselves over and over about ideals, and then you get to the action but its bad is matched only by the acting from the miscast majority. Wolverine's being torn apart and healing at the climax of X3 was a far more human moment than featured in either of the first two films. Further, it took until FIRST CLASS for the villain of the series, Magneto, to arrive as previously the character called Magneto was actually a geriatric Magnet Man. They are so bad.

Sony turning over every Spider-Man rock to see what in the world could make money means nothing, proves only that female characters exist within Spider-Man stories. They have ideas for all of them, and the men too. #Whoa

Nope, utterly confounding film of bad acting and worse green screen severely highlighted by the 3D I was viewing it in. I mean, running in place? Holy moly.

I liked Rorschach a lot. He was victim to his negative qualities as any person was a consequence of that world but he never seemed to accept or find complacency in his circumstance. Instead, he was the lone person so driven as to hunt down the thing that was killing them, a literal death but to him also seemingly representative of all the nasty things that happened to and turned the heroes into what they were. It's been years since I read it, and I compulsively advocate for the devil, but he seemed, ultimately, to be the person seeking redemption while most everyone else scratched their heads.

Pretty sure in one of the original flavor origins Bruce joins the FBI but quits a couple or few months in because all he learned was procedures and rules where his interest lied in catching criminals and saving people. He saw it as what he wanted to do but severely handicapped and passionless and so he left to do things his way.

Burkion posted:Nah, Lex was all in on the suicide pact. My interpretation was that Lex fully expected Superman to kill Batman, instantly exonerating him from Doomsday's creation. What we don't know is if Lex had any type of control, fail-safe, or if Doomsday was loyal to Lex, tho I'd argue "yes" based on the fact of Doomsday's instantly going after Superman and not at all going after Lex. He seemed to understand his purpose and who his master was and if so, it's possible he would have settled into a role of being Lex's dragon as opposed to rampaging endlessly.

https://youtu.be/DRCdvnz-wss I don't see the punch as being at Lex. He and Superman are standing inline, Lex closer, Doomsday roars and punches toward Superman who seems to be ready and advancing, Lex flinches because ofc a person would. If that was Superman saving his enemy, the movie didn't express that well at all.
