We saw Usual Suspects in English class and had to notice all the hints.

We also saw a bunch of movies when our history tescher got sick: the Dreyfus Affair movie with Richard Dreyfus, loving Pearl Harbor, Schindler's List, a bunch of documentaries.

In french class we got to see Lumumba and Apocalypse Now.

With Trump elected, they should adapt the Smurf King comic instead, where one Smurf is named head of the village in Papa Smurf's absence and ends up going full dictator with golden Smurf hat and throne room and stuff.

Edit: And instead of the stupid New York stuff they should have just adapted the comics where they team up with a french Knight.

was kinda thinking of my favorite Bay movie, is the Rock a conservative movie?

On the one hand, the villain has a pretty noble goal, but it is only noble if you consider just following orders noble in and of itself; and the mercenaries slaughtered the Seal team so fast, and some nerd became an action hero, what end of the spectrum is that?

It's the best Metal Gear Solid movie.

The villains are veterans pushed to an extreme by a lovely system and left mentally broken by war. The US government has been illegally detaining and abusing an allies agent for decades because he uncovered state secrets about a presidential assassination and the main weapon of the terrorist is a horrific nerve gas the US Army has been gleefully manufacturing and got stolen.

It's not exactly pro-government.

I love how the villain talks about honor and poo poo while he and his men are responsible for atrocities across the world. American black ops aren't exactly honorable.

Which like, makes me wonder why he didn't just make it himself. He obviously had an end goal in mind for Ripley.

I don't really remember if he ever talked about doing it on the making of's. Although I could be wrong. It's been a good few years since I've seen 'em.

Alien 3 is better than Aliens. Well, Assembly cut anyway.

Alan Turing was someone who did some really ground-breaking stuff (none of which is explained or conveyed in the movie) and got treated terribly for the crime of being gay (which also isn't shown in the movie).

At this point they should just do something fun with lower stakes like a longer episode of the cartoon.

Wait, if they faxed themselves to the past, they would just be creating a copy of themselves in the past, and the original ones would stay in the present. because faxing doesn't destroy the original document, only copies it in a remote location.

There's a french canadian sci-fi comedy show where they used Telefaxing instead of Teleporting.

I find it funny.

And boom there's the plot of Godzilla vs King Kong in a nutshell. Godzilla hears someone call Kong the King of Monsters and goes "Oh HEEEEEEEELL NAW" and they fight.

Seriously how is that a six writer job?

SuperMechagodzilla posted:

As the title implies, the monster in the film is a plantlike 'life-spirit'. It has all the exact same traits as Groot, but is obviously not celebrated as this loveable spirit of nature with cycles of rebirth or whatever. LIFE, correctly, focuses on Groot's fundamental obscenity. Like his tendency to extend his roots into people - to eat them? Groot persists in the exact way that we say someone persists in a vegetative state. It's the Werner Herzog take on Groot:

"Kinski always says [the jungle is] full of erotic elements. I don't see it so much erotic. I see it more full of obscenity. It's just - Nature here is vile and base. I wouldn't see anything erotical here. I would see fornication and asphyxiation and choking and fighting for survival and... growing and... just rotting away. Of course, there's a lot of misery. But it is the same misery that is all around us. The trees here are in misery, and the birds are in misery. I don't think they - they sing. They just screech in pain. It's an unfinished country. It's still prehistorical. The only thing that is lacking is - is the dinosaurs here. It's like a curse weighing on an entire landscape. And whoever... goes too deep into this has his share of this curse. So we are cursed with what we are doing here. It's a land that God, if he exists has - has created in anger. It's the only land where - where creation is unfinished yet. Taking a close look at - at what's around us there - there is some sort of a harmony. It is the harmony of... overwhelming and collective murder. And we in comparison to the articulate vileness and baseness and obscenity of all this jungle - Uh, we in comparison to that enormous articulation - we only sound and look like badly pronounced and half-finished sentences out of a stupid suburban... novel... a cheap novel. We have to become humble in front of this overwhelming misery and overwhelming fornication... overwhelming growth and overwhelming lack of order. Even the - the stars up here in the - in the sky look like a mess. There is no harmony in the universe. We have to get acquainted to this idea that there is no real harmony as we have conceived it. But when I say this, I say this all full of admiration for the jungle. It is not that I hate it, I love it. I love it very much. But I love it against my better judgment."

This deserves to be heard in Herzog's own voice.

Yeah, in my playthrough she was more like a slasher villain picking off the dudes one by one with her pick and her bow after the first chapter.

I was skeptical when Ridley didn't take the role but this looks good. Vikander put on enough muscle to make it look credible and she's a pretty drat good actress. Please be the first actually good video game movie.

I just replayes it again for the third time a few days ago, this time on hard. I was a bit disappointed to find that the most noticeable difficultly jump was quick time events being less forgiving.

Akira should be two or three films. End the first with AKira waking up, end the second with the Explosion or Kaneda coming back and then do the epic conclusion as the entire third movie.
