Bill Murray is annoying and the only time he works well in a film is when they lean into that.lemon-lyme disease posted:I’d like to see a comic book movie that isn’t presented like a comic book movie. That’s a maybe unpopular opinion. The Death of Stalin, Road to Perdition, Persopolis, A History of Violence. Something like Jessica Jones is very light on the action too. Adaptions of comic books don't have to be stereotypical action films but adaptions of DC / Marvel characters generally do.

White Bear isn't a good episode of Black Mirror and the ending feels cheap rather than clever.

Black Mirror episodes are all focused on the impact of technology and the media; there's a reason "what if phones but too much" was used to describe the series.

Black Mirror generally (but certainly not always) has protagonists pushed beyond their limits by systemic forces or by actions done in moments of weakness spiralling out of control. There are only a handful of stories where you're watching a bad person suffer and those invariably raise questions about proportionality and justice because of how cruel they end up being. I'm trying to be vague because I think overall it's a great show and spoilers drastically affect how you watch some of the stories. For more thread content: Chris Pratt is one of the many things dragging down Guardians of the Galaxy and his character in Jurassic Park is one of the best ever examples of a Mary Sue. He should stick to roles like Parks & Rec and the LEGO Movie. Doctor Spaceman has a new favorite as of 11:21 on Nov 26, 2017 |

Another year might have let them finish duct-taping the engine together too. It'd have also been in direct competition with Half-Life 2.

There are some references to it (eg he mentions his name is Olorin) but the whole thing about Gandalf, Sauron, and the other wizards being demigods or angels is from The Silmarillion.

Dark Souls PvP is universally garbage and you should be able to ignore it without penalty. Even alt-F4ing when you get invaded is too much of a hassle.

veni veni veni posted:You said ignore it without penalty, not reap all the benefits of playing online without pvp. You can always play offline and never have to pvp. quote:I don't get why some people hate it so much. Even if you don't enjoy it (no idea how someone doesn't enjoy it but hey) Because I enjoy exploration and goofing around with friends, and all PvP is about is having some jerk try and stop me from doing that. The PvE side of the game is built around punishing the player for not learning from their mistakes (did you think the enemy was going to thrust instead of sweep, despite having seem them do that before? Lose a big chunk of HP) whereas the multiplayer is far more unpredictable and less balanced and I don't like the combination of the two modes.

Ghostbusters 16 wasn't great and relied way too heavily on improv. The original was nothing special either.Tiggum posted:The best way to see a movie at the cinema is when absolutely no one else is there. Whole place to yourself. A movie isn't a social experience anyway, you're sitting quietly in the dark, and other people can only ruin it. Comedies are a social thing for me. I laugh a lot more if other people around me are laughing too. If it's a serious movie, sure, I prefer to be in a big empty room.

mind the walrus posted:Is RDR really even that good? I didn't get the first one because I had made the switch to PC when it came out, but people act like it's the cat's blowjob (mixing metaphors here). Yeah it's pretty great. E: it's got better writing and a more consistent tone than any of the GTAs, and doesn't just go for cheap cynical satire. I'm guessing RDR2 will come to PC eventually like Rockstar's other recent stuff. Doctor Spaceman has a new favorite as of 23:52 on Feb 2, 2018 |

lavaca posted:How many people actually make that argument about anyone other than the Aztecs? It's not the same continent but in Australia there has been a recent debate about changing the date of Australia Day from January 26th. The problem with this date is that it commemorates the arrival of the First Fleet, which marks the beginning of the British invasion of Australia. The people against the move typically use arguments like that it's actually not an invasion because British and Australian law says so, that it wouldn't actually help the plight of Indingeous people and is just a push by left-wing cultural marxists to destabilise

Mu Zeta posted:I don't like how modern superhero movies need to have ridiculously buff bodies. Why are actors eating chicken and broccoli for 7 months and doing Crossfit 5 hours a day for a dumb movie? What happened to normal looking heroes like Jason Bourne. There's no reason for Star Lord to be so buff. If he's a Harrison Ford ripoff then he should have the same physique as Harrison Ford in the 80s. He looked good but didn't have veins popping out of his arms. There's a really interesting article from a few years back about how the "ideal" look for an action hero has changed over the years (natural in the 70s, bulky in the 80s, leaner in the 90s, super fit now), and how much pressure it puts on actors and especially stunt doubles. 4 years ago Michael B Jordan posted:Michael B. Jordan, who got his break as The Wire’s sensitive kid Wallace and raised his profile in last year’s Fruitvale Station, knows he needs to be able to bulk up on command if he wants to break into the A-list. “You’ve gotta be ready to take off your shirt,” he says...“They want to blow you up and put you in a superhero action film. Being fit is so important. . . . The bar has been raised.”

If you wanted to use a real example, you should've gone with oil, which, even though it is basically a dying industry, we depend on it even more than we do the arms trade. I'm not sure why you call it a dead industry, even if it'd be good if a chunk of it did die. Doctor Spaceman has a new favorite as of 05:24 on Mar 30, 2018 |
