Detective No. 27 posted:I still agree with Hbomberguy's video, but a movie based on a Liefeld character was the most successful comic book movie of 2016. Liefeld did create him but the character we got was more like Nicieza's or Kelly's.

Barudak posted:Neither of these are inherintly white skinned. Foiled by Blacula yet again! Not sure how we're defining white skin but I'll give you Phantom if we're being purists. Didn't know he was so jaundiced and zombie-ish in the original novel. I think of Phantom and I imagine Lon Cheney or the Andrew Lloyd Weber version.

Barudak posted:Actually funny you say that, I just went to a performance of Phantom of the Opera a few weeks ago with a Black Phantom since, well, there is nothing about the character mandating his whiteness. Assuming Christine was white, it also gives a bit of a different flavour to the Angel of Music teaching and him stealing her away.

Casimir Radon posted:Why in the gently caress did everyone get to watch The Name of the Rose in high school. Sean Connery's one handsome motherfucker. Edit: Speaking of Connery, we got to watch You Only Live Twice in high school chemistry once, but only because I had it on me. Something went wrong with the teacher's lesson plan or the supplies were missing, and he was wondering what we could do. I was just like, "uhh, I have a James Bond movie in my bag" so he wheeled in the TV and we watched it. Lobok fucked around with this message at 03:28 on Jan 11, 2017 |

Skwirl posted:God that movie is a piece of poo poo, some people who though it was really deep showed it to a group of us and got pissed when I exclaimed "oh, it's that deaf actress" when Marlee Matlin showed up. I guess they thought it was a spoiler because the framing story is shot in such a way that you can't tell she's deaf until the end, which is an okay concept, but don't hire the worlds most famous deaf actress if you want that to be a twist. She has an Academy Award and was a regular guest star on The West Wing for gently caress's sake. And Seinfeld. "What are you, deaf?!" "Bingo!"

Sleep paralysis is easy to interpret as some supernatural force if you're not at all aware of the science of sleep. Anything that's at all scary can easily feel like malevolence. Hell, it's easy to feel like there's something out to get you just from the dark. I take my dog out to pee every night before bed and lately the light over the back door of our building has been out. It's the same door I've gone in thousands of times and at different times of the night but only because of the light being out have I started to get the heebie-jeebies using that door.

Ammanas posted:I really, really wish they'd take all the money they're sinking into OC and spent it on acquiring a decent, stable streaming catalogue of movies and TV shows. The US Netflix selection is total garbage with a few good movies that you and everyone else has seen a half dozen times already If other companies weren't intent on freezing them out or outbidding them for all that content they might have stuck with that but they've clearly decided it's not a reliable, long-term business model to keep vying for the same content everyone else is when they can instead produce exclusive content they can own forever.

Phylodox posted:What it means in the short term, though, is that everyone and their brother wants their own streaming service with exclusive rights. So here in Canada, for example, you end up with cable-company owned poo poo like Crave and Shomi buying up the exclusive streaming rights to stuff so Netflix can't. They tried to copy what Netflix was and now you're seeing them try to copy what Netflix has become. Amazon got into creating exclusive content for itself and not content with being a rental service, Apple/iTunes is producing its own content now as well. The landscape for "television" (whatever that will mean in a decade) is really changing.

Even if Evans based The Raid on a Dredd script, who cares. It means we got two very different and very awesome films out of the same idea. And I truly believe that The Raid had nothing to do with Dredd's poor performance.

Keanu's been associated with action almost since the beginning. Before Wick it was the Matrix. Before the Matrix it was Speed. Before that, Point Break. And other action movies sprinkled in between.

LucyWanabe posted:Re: Timeline (the book, anyway. Haven't seen the movie in ages)-- I think it was something about how some of the earlier travellers racked up enough trips that they started to get photocopy of a photocopy errors. Like imagine slicing a picture of someone in two and then trying to line up the two slices perfectly again but being just slightly off. People had their bones and cellular walls and blood vessels not quite lining up or connecting properly.
