Braveheart inspired what may be the most hated piece of art in Scottish history. It was vandalized so many times that it had to be put in a cage, and was eventually removed in 2008. At one point they attempted to sell it to Donald Trump's Scottish gold course. Don't know why he didn't go for it as everything he owns is tacky.

The controls aren't a complete disaster and the story is actually well written. Lara behaves a lot more like an actual human than some guy's wank material.

You also get odd cases who are just progressive because it's hip in the circles they run in. There's nothing progressive about Lena Dunham but that's the image she's chosen for herself. You could make a pretty effective Al Qaeda recruitment film out of following her around and documenting her privileged lifestyle. See also: People who see John Lennon as hippie Jesus. A rich rear end in a top hat who beat both his wives, was a deadbeat father, and only participated in any sort of activism when it enhanced his image. See also also: Apple's progressive image, and beatification of absolute rear end in a top hat Steve Jobs. When Jobs returned to the company in 1997 he cancelled all corporate charitable giving. But boy do those commercials make you feel like you're making a difference.

The sword fight in The 13th Warrior is pretty cool. Too bad the rest of the plot thread about the prince stirring poo poo up go lost in the cuts. Rising Sun (The movie) was really boring and I can't remember much that happened outside of a few main points. The whole Japanese economic scare or whatever it was mostly over by the time I really became aware of anything outside kid stuff so that just seems bizarre. The Japanese guys in the movie are written as a bunch of almost extraterrestrial weirdos who cover up murders with their expertise with VCR technology. Seeing Wesley Snipes before he became a punchline was a bit of a trip too. This was also probably the point Connery's career started declining due in no small part to bad decisions in choosing what to star in.

Neo Rasa posted:Rising Sun is so bad for a number of reasons. But regarding its Japan-scare elements, even during production it was already derided for its bizarre "UGH these evil Japanese people just so WEIRD AND CORRUPT AARRGH!" plot. Wesley Snipes was literally cast in the movie so that the producers could say "See of course our movie isn't racist, we cast a black person in it!" Sean Connery took the role because the character in the novel was literally written with him in mind. Given Connery's ego I'm sure "okay well THIS script was actually written specifically for you and you play a zen master investigator cop fluent in Japanese who gets to dunk on the entire cast over and over again" was an easy sell. My favorite bit of media that's related to the subject is Back to the Future Part III having the bit where 1950's Doc Brown exclaims that it's no wonder the machine broke down since all these lovely components are from Japan.

Tars Tarkas posted:In the 90s series they made it so there was a dinosaur (the Godzillasaurus) that lived on an island and liked to kill US troops to defend glorious Japan. Japan then left the island and the US later tested nukes on it and Godzillasaurus became Godzilla. But in that continuity there are two Godzillas (the original who is killed by the oxygen destroyer and the one who shows up in the 90s), as well as Godzilla Junior, plus creatures that utilized Godzilla's DNA like Biollante and Spacegodzilla. Also Steven Spielberg's Dad watched the Godzillasaurus kill US troops and saw a time traveling UFO.
