My most anticipated films of 2017 are The Death of Stalin by Armando Iannucci (In the Loop), Under the Silver Lake a neo-noir by David Mitchell (not the comedian or the author but the guy who did It Follows), and Okja a kaiju film of some sort by Bong Joon-Ho (Memories of Murder, Snowpiercer, The Host) .

The whole point of stuff like Carry On was that it was almost entirely innuendo because you couldn't really say any of that stuff directly in movies. What's the point now that you can say whatever you want?

Exactly. In a post-American Pie world where all sex comedies have tits galore and everybody openly swears like a sailor being coy and beating around the bush with innuendo is pointless.

Detective No. 27 posted:Which Chucky movie had a scene of Chucky as tall as a skyscraper? I remember seeing that on TV as a toddler and have at least a couple seconds of that burned into my mind. I was surprised to discover that the series is about a talking doll, and not a skyscraper sized freaky looking kid. Was that even a Chucky movie? Are you sure that wasn't Honey, I Blew Up The Kid (1992, d.p. John Hora)?

Parents are bunch of morons. If your kid can't handle The Name of the Rose your kid is poo poo and you failed as a parent. However I do understand parents being upset ABCs of Death but only because it is a bad film.

Why do so many trailers these days start with a short clip from the trailer we're about to watch? Do trailer houses assume everyone watching has the attention span of a mosquito and that you better have a few second long mini-trailer in front of the trailer for the people who will tune out halfway through the real trailer?

No that specific trailer for CHIPS and Spiderman and a few others have seen have the first 10 or so seconds of the video be clip from the trailer. Then there is a studio logo then the trailer actually starts. No actual ad in between and it's all part of one video. I don't think I've ever actually seen a trailer as a youtube ad. Though that is probably just a regional thing.

I think the solution is to simply have those short clips be the full trailer. At very least that would solve the problem of trailers that tell you the entire story of the film.

Sinners Sandwich posted:What about the spaceship then As I looked, behold, a whirl- wind was coming from the north, a great cloud with fire flashing forth continually and a bright light around it, and in its midst something like glowing metal in the midst of the fire. 5 Within it there were figures resembling (J)four living beings And this was their appearance: they had human (K)form. 13 In the midst of the living beings there was something that looked like burning coals of fire, like torches darting back and forth among the living beings. The fire was bright, and lightning was flashing from the fire. 15 Now as I looked at the living beings, behold, there was one wheel on the earth beside the living beings, for each of the four 16 The appearance of the wheels and their workmanship was like sparkling beryl, and all four of them had the same form, their appearance and workmanship being as if one wheel were within another wheel 25 And there came a voice from above the expanse that was over their heads; whenever they stood still, they dropped their wings. 26 Now above the expanse that was over their heads there was something resembling a throne, like lapis lazuli in appearance; and on that which resembled a throne, high up, was a figure with the appearance of a man. 27 Then I noticed from the appearance of His loins and upward something like glowing metal that looked like fire all around within it, and from the appearance of His loins and downward I saw something like fire; and there was a radiance around Him. 28 As the appearance of the rainbow in the clouds on a rainy day, so was the appearance of the surrounding radiance such was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the LORD And when I saw it, I fell on my face and heard a voice speaking.

Aliens, in general not in Signs specifically, are a modern incarnation of fairies/elves. They're a mysterious otherworldly force that is like us but different. They abduct people and like faires (and succubi/incubi, vampires, mares and shadow people) they're an attempt to explain sleep paralysis.

Femur posted:why do people need stories to explain this? I glance at the description, and I think that's happened once or twice to me; I've never thought twice about it? just a part of an unremembered dream or whatever? Because it feels like you're awake and when you're a peasant a few centuries ago, when magic and monsters were generally believed to be literally real, it makes sense to explain a scary experience at night where you can'T move and something scary is in the room as it being a vampire/elf/ghost/alp/mare/witch. Because those things obviously exist and you know you weren't totally asleep so it had to be real. And of course in modern times that sort of experience morphed into it being aliens because very few people still believe vampires and/or witches actually exist but many believe in aliens.

Femur posted:yeah but how do you separate that from any other dream? you can easily assume you haven't woken up yet? Are they making up stories for any of their other dreams? like dying or falling, etc, they all seem real too. Before Polidori's the Vampyre in 1819 vampires were always poor. Frequently they were outcasts and eccentrics; people who committed suicide and/or were suspected witches. You could also, reportedly, become a vampire if a cat jumped over your dead body or if a vampire had looked at your mother while she was pregnant but mostly suspected vampires were wierdos and cranks in life. The suave aristocratic vampire of literature is an invention of the Romantics. The folkloric vampire is a ruddy and bloated diseased walking corpse.

Calvinist believe that everything is preordained by an all knowing all powerful God and there is nothing you can do to change anything since you're only following your fate blindly. Prosperity gospel is the idea that God is Santa Clause and if you are good he will give you nice things.

Chairman Capone posted:My big problem with the Dr. Strange ending was, why didn't the villain just set Dr. Strange aside in some prison and say, "All right, I won't kill you, you'll just sit here for the next ten billion years while I get back to work"? Because the concept of time freaked him the gently caress out. It was a Lovecraftian horror being confronted by something he can't comprehend and not being able to handle it. Or that's how I understood it.

quote:And it was then that Nyarlathotep came out of Egypt. Who he was, none could tell, but he was of the old native blood and looked like a Pharaoh. The fellahin knelt when they saw him, yet could not say why. He said he had risen up out of the blackness of twenty-seven centuries, and that he had heard messages from places not on this planet. Into the lands of civilisation came Nyarlathotep, swarthy, slender, and sinister, always buying strange instruments of glass and metal and combining them into instruments yet stranger. He spoke much of the sciences—of electricity and psychology—and gave exhibitions of power which sent his spectators away speechless, yet which swelled his fame to exceeding magnitude. or in other words: Black dude came out of the desert and the locals knelt to him instinctively because it is their blood to be servile to their superiors. Then he did some freaky Tesla stuff with electricity that made people go "woah". FreudianSlippers fucked around with this message at 22:05 on Jan 25, 2017 |

Improbable Lobster posted:Plus the actual story is usually much more interesting than the sanitized, made-up hollywood version I like Braveheart as an example of this. How it happened*:  How the film depicted it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rdlL65LD6I4 *Based on a retelling by a dude called Blind Harry a full century after the battle took place. Which also specified Wallace to be 7 feet tall. So probably about as inaccurate as the film version though certainly far cooler and more cinematic.

I mean they could probably use any sort of bladed weapon or tool but swords are of course culturally linked to honor and heroism and dueling and what not, if I remember correctly the price of a decent sword for most of the Medieval period was about the same as for a car today and even after they got cheaper there were still laws in many countries forbidding commoners from carrying swords since a sword was a sign of nobility. A chainsaw battle would be neat. FreudianSlippers fucked around with this message at 16:41 on Feb 12, 2017 |
