remaking ghost in the shell with scarlet johansen seems like a cool idea. i'm gonna go see it in theaters. also i don't like the anime but not because it's anime lol. i just think it's clunky and bad as a movie, but the concept and some of the visuals are kind of cool.

Whenever fan service shows up regardless of media whether it be female or male I just laugh and roll with it instead of getting all indignant in a sad attempt to score points on a gay dead forum.

don't post in adtrw then come to gbs and say things like this it's disgusting.

yeah the one that has like 20 minutes of just gratuitous torture porn violence of people getting torn apart by robots, sure, of course, definitely a Mature Movei For Adult Mans Who Drive Big Trucks And Do Sex On Women

she said no lolis or annoying teens and animatrix fits that. also it's pretty good if you like the matrix. there are some violent parts, but i wouldn't call it torture porn i think that's a bit hyperbolic.

True. And whats more, Josh is actually a CG character. Thats why nobody likes him: he always looks "off" and doesnt really fit into the scene with the other characters due to slight uncanny valley effect. The CG is actually pretty high quality so you might not notice it. But your brain does.

there's a lot of talk about how cinema discusso has threads with hundreds of replies about stuff like pacific rim, warcraft, Beavis Dodge, etc, but comparatively nothing about films that do not fit roughly under the category of nerd pop-culture flotsam. the assumption is that this is because they are dork morons who only watch these kinds of movies, and there's some truth to that, but it's more that they have only one technique with which to Critically Analyze film, and it is: What If The Good Guys Are Actually Bad. (there's also What If The Bad Guys Are Actually Good but it's really the same thing.)

tony stark is bad, the ghostbusters are bad, the new republic is bad, batman is bad. any given thread has this as its main argument, along with smaller arguments that exist solely to bolster the main argument (battle droids are people and therefore the jedi destroying them makes the jedi Bad). it's possible to write an interesting story telling events from the antagonist's perspective, but that's just it, a different story. it's not the same thing as the story we're being told.

it's easy to say iron man is Bad because he's a Weapons Contractor. those are Bad in real life. in real life, however Weapons Contractors don't personally put on battle suits and save the earth from being enslaved by aliens. that part is generally ignored because it collapses the point. worse, when there is a coherent case to be made that the movie has a reactionary political message - the latter two Dark Knight films - these elements aren't criticized as being inaccurate propaganda, but rather evidence of how the protagonist is Really Bad. because they ignore the stuff that doesn't fit, their argument boils down to batman is Bad because he used illegal surveillance, without considering that this story is entirely fictional and lots of people are going to look at it and say yes, batman used illegal surveillance, but nobody got hurt and it saved thousands of lives from an insane murderer. rather than criticizing the film for portraying the choice in this way, they prefer to praise it for its subversive message of portraying the hero as Bad even though nobody else sees it that way and it requires ignoring the practical consequences of his actions in the fictional story.

because the actions of the heroes and villains don't particularly matter except when they can be crammed into this framework, they can find themselves saying the Heroes are Bad in any circumstance including the villains killing billions of people on a whim and the heroes trying to stop them, but they really enjoy films where the Villains are Sympathetic and the Heroes are Flawed for this reason, as it makes their job a lot easier, which is why they're still so keen to jump on defending any given zach snyder fever dream where batman rapes guys in prison. but really they find it hard to apply this framework - again, their only framework- to movies where there aren't Heroes or Villains or to where the protagonist is supposed to be flawed and suffers consequences for their flaws. they have no real way to talk about these films so they are not discussed. i am gay.

Here's the number one reason josh is bad:

Mike will make a quick, throw away joke and Josh will butt in and say "no no no no no !" and then add some stupid "random lol" element to the joke that derails it instead of playing along. Mike then just kinda has to nod politely and the discussion moves on.

If you don't see a problem with this is it because you probably do the same thing with your circle of friends and it's the reason they don't laugh at your jokes and why they've stopped hanging out with you

here's my take on this: josh is good.

It went to poo poo after season 2 for you because you realised how poo poo it was and how it was constantly baiting you promising that payoff that was never coming. The biggest reason for me as to why I rejected it from the first episode was that I could not come up with a satisfying solution to any of it seeing it for the BS it is. Forget having a unifying solution when you know you can't answer individual mysteries.

I mean, hell, I even watched Alias which was BS through and through but at least it wasn't up it's own rear end about it. Alias precessed LOST by 3 years. LOST was in no way unique or genuine in anyway other than the sheer level of awfulness.

I would take the unholy prequels over LOST any day.

Even if you think the plot was rote garbage you cannot deny the excellent execution and master-class acting. It is not often you want a character to show up just so they can talk with other characters or just simply monologue. That mid season reveal had me going "HOLY poo poo".

having this long of an opinion about lost is a sign of serious mental illness. help is available for people like you, you don't have to live like this. with the right combination of treatment and medication doctors can help you live a productive and happy life.

I liked Lost. But I'm not in love with it anymore and it was pretty poo poo. It's like an ex.

You fall in love with it, you learn every little detail about it, you adore it and wonder when you're going to see it again. You're in love with it.
Then you start to notice its flaws but you give it the benefit of the doubt, you start making excuses for it, you tell yourself "it can't possibly get worse than this right" like it's all smooth sailing from here.
Finally you see it for what it is, you get sick just thinking about sticking it out with it to the bitter end, and you realize it's not going to change and really it's been like this since the beginning. You just wanted to enjoy your favorite TV show so badly you were willing to give all that time and energy when you knew they were manipulating you.
Later you can look back on the good moments and fun times you had, but it's always gonna be tainted by the sucky moments like when you realized Locke was just a puppet and the Dharma Initiative had dick all to do with anything. gently caress you Jacob. gently caress you Desmond. gently caress you Man In Black introduced at the last second piece of poo poo. Hurley's still cool. But gently caress the writers.
