How great would it be is vast swaths of the usual Academy Awards fodder being rendered untouchable by their connection to sexual predators led to a movie about a literal child predator sweeping the Oscars?

LORD OF BOOTY posted:Honestly, the batshit plot really accounts for a lot. If they just did a direct adaptation of Snake Eater, without any of the fourth-wall stuff, it would be a bad loving rear end movie and wouldn't really require them to touch any of the extra-weird stuff. Phantom Pain is the best game in the series both in terms of the cinematography (the entire game is done like one continuous take) and in terms of writing competence (none of the badly translated repeating each other's lines or gibberish titles obviously from people who weren't native English speakers, no freezing time to have lengthy codec monologues and exposition dumps) and it had minimal fourth wall goofs. Just make a cool historical sci-fi/historical magical realism military story with horror elements and great setpieces and you're good to go. Casimir Radon posted:I think it was episode 6 titled Echoes. I remember seeing somewhere him admitting that he got taken in by some pretty obvious bullshit but a quick search didn't turn it up. But it was something dumb like somebody uploading their creepypasta to the wiki page about a real asylum, and the Lore guy just stating it like it was fact without any sort of checking. The guys who make The Dollop also got in trouble for plagiarising articles almost word for word for multiple episodes, I've never understood why people who make the living doing shows like that can't ever do the bare minimum of coming their sources unless they get external pressure and/or have fans willing to do unpaid labor for them. The Lore guy is just especially egregious because he's not really funny or interesting and on top of not adding anything to the material his voice and delivery is terrible. And apparently he was a professional author before the podcast.

Firstborn posted:Pretty sure characters repeating each other's lines is a Japanese thing. When someone is presenting you with information, you repeat it back to them to let you know you are listening. The codec conversations are some of the best parts of MGS, and really showcase Kojima's OCD with military minutiae and discussing weird cinema tropes and stuff. Phantom Pain has the worst story, worst ending, worst script, replaced the main character's VA who has been in it since MGS 1, and it was unfinished and chopped to bits. The actual gameplay parts of MGSV are great, but pretty much everything else from top to bottom sucks out loud. Agree to disagree and all but Phantom Pain does have an ending and it's great precisely because instead of being a big boss battle with all the heroes riding off into the sunset like all the other games it's an important bittersweer character beat that completely changes the events of the game while also serving as a powerful capstone on the entire series despite being at the end of a midquel. Whether it was intentional or the result of budget issues it was way better than a rehash of the giant robot fight from earlier with a character you know is going to survive in future games. The plot was also great because it was a bunch of weird superscience magic realism what served as a great recap of all the ideas about warfare, culture, and the free flow of information that the rest of the series touched on without ever having to hanfwave everything away with nanomachines or make winking references to videogames. It also had some of the best imagery in the entire series, especially with how it dipped into horror with the opening or the weird mist zombie supersoldiers or everything involving The Man on Fire and that one research center. And the script.was great precisely because it was so sparse and tightly edited, even if the fans whined about missing all the usual epic MGS memes it was way more mature and intelligent even if the verbal diarrhea of the older games had its charm at the time.

MariusLecter posted:Furries are mainstream now? It's been a go-to for weird sex in fiction for awhile now since it's technically SFW and provides a funny visual while still being weird enough that not a lot of people are into it. Like I remember the Drew Carrey Show had an episode when he was dating a furry, the trope is that old.

Snowglobe of Doom posted:In the latest "TV series based on movies" news, classic Reitman/Murray/Ramis comedy Stripes is being developed by Reitman and the Whitest Kids U Know crew for CBS. I know that they were technically responsible for one of the worst-reviewed movies of all time but WKUK has a ton of great sketches and it makes me kind of sad that they fell into the same memory hole every other post-YouTube TV sketch comedy troupe that isn't Lonely Island fell into.

David Farrier is also a pretty good journalist outside of the film, his expose on perverts getting children to act out obvious fetish material under the guise of "dares" and "challenges" was especially  and he seems to be making a nice niche out of taking weird internet stuff and presenting it in a way your parents could understand without descending into full alarmism.https://thespinoff.co.nz/society/21-11-2016/hello-my-name-is-ally-how-children-are-being-exploited-by-youtube-predators/

Taintrunner posted:The thing that drives me nuts the most is how RP1 and the culture around it doesn't actually engage with those things, but simply references them for reference's sake. Like, Mobile Suit Gundam is about the all-consuming nature of war and how it chews up the innocent only to spit them back out as shattered human being beings and has remained so throughout it's more modern inceptions, like Origin and Thunderbolt, but that trailer just has a split second of an RX-78 because that's the only everyone knows. It's incredibly hosed up just how utterly cynical and shallow it is. It's basically the fiction equivalent of a Funko POP figurine, all the actual texture and detail of popular culture sanded away in favor of bland interchangable totems whose entire appeal is that you Get The Reference. Supersonic Shine posted:That’s not a perfect adaptation. This is. When the guy whose entire career is based around random mash-ups of pop culture is throwing shade you know you've hosed up.

Al Borland Corp. posted:No PT Barnum taught us all that because you're different that just makes you special not less than, you are all special unique individuals who he definitely didn't exploit. Being in a "freak show" or novelty act was empowering. Well to be fair if you listen to what actual freak show performers of the time have said working in a freak show meant you could actually make a living and do something with your life and travel with people from similar happenstance and was way better than the alternative of rotting in a sanitarium or church and trying to get by in a pre-ADA world. One doc on the subject I watched back in the 90s even had surviving people from the era complaining about the "do-gooders" trying to put them out of work from some misplaced sense of righteousness.

FCKGW posted:Yeah, I think Gears of War was the first that stuck in my craw. The Social Network is more a cover of a slow song, not so much one slowed down. San Andreas was the first one that really stuck out and I will blame them for really ramping up the trend. I liked the Gears of War ad because independent of the game it was interesting and memorable and they pulled it off pretty well even if it was probably just a redub and they had originally planned to just do buttrock over it. The Xbox360 had only been out a year and it wasn't exactly flying off the shelves because it didn't really have a killer launch lineup and seemed like not much of a step up compared to what was already out for current systems, that was the first time I saw a next gen game that actually caught my interest. When they actually tried to include that in the games itself in the sequels it was just laughably terrible though. The MSJ posted:It grossed 473 million worldwide. I think there's a sequel planned too, and the director also made Rampage with The Rock. Also it was one of the first few titles to get a proper 4k bluray release so a lot of early adopters bought it because what else are you going to use to show off your new setup.
