LesterGroans posted:A History of Violence deserves to fight it out with Mulholland Drive on those Best Films of the 21st Century lists. I think Viggo turns in one of the greatest performances of all-time in that. They're both really good movies but A History of Violence doesn't stand a loving chance in that contest.

TrixRabbi posted:Yo I got a food-for-thought question for y'all. If you could remake one movie which one and why? Someone beat me to "Metropolis but actually socialist" and now I'm kind of spinning my wheels and repeatedly cycling back to stuff I'd like to adapt, which isn't the same as a remake. I'd probably take some 50's horror movie about science gone too far and the hubris of man and recast the madman as the hero.

Uncle Boogeyman posted:And of course Fritz Lang's version of Das Rheingold/Die Niebelungen is loving awesome. Yes, and it owns. It's one of the vanishingly rare fairy tale movies that actually feels like a fairy tale instead of sanitizing it to death or trying to substitute mere ugliness for grotesquerie.

Dissapointed Owl posted:Honestly, the entire feeling is probably just nostalgia mixed with the genres being less over-saturated. There's a certain combination of "this game pretty much requires a full-sized studio's budget and manpower" and "this game has unintended features and quirks that work to its benefit but would be designed out if they made it today." For example, there's basically no game dev in existence today both capable of making and willing to make a game like StarCraft: Brood War, and vanishingly few capable/willing of making an arena FPS in the spirit of Tribes or UT. e: multiplayer games are particularly prone to this since you have to either provide servers or throw your hands up and basically leave the game for enthusiasts to run and hackers to ruin Tuxedo Catfish fucked around with this message at 00:30 on Jan 18, 2017 |

See I read this exactly the opposite way, Gosling's character is a goober incapable of innovation or moving on, which mirrors / leads to the final scene of him working alone in a jazz bar -- exactly where the Stone's character found him in the first place, even if he owns it now -- dreaming about what could have been if he'd held on to her while she's there with her family, happy to see him, but ready to leave when the song's over.

Like if you were loudly discussing your bowel movements in a restaurant and attempted to defend this by saying how it's a perfectly normal thing for friends to talk about, it would be a reasonable to start with either "nah that's a little weird" or "context matters" because both are true.

wyoming posted:Yeah, free speech doesn't mean all opinions are valid, just that you're free to say them. Moreover, "free speech" is a limitation on the state. Like most legal rights it's there to (attempt to) equalize the inherently inequal relationship between the state and the individual. It's a handicap, which is not something that individuals trying to fight systemic inertia, let alone an actively hostile society, should be worrying about.

Egbert Souse posted:I'm just not convinced about violence. As a literal reformed neo-nazi I can promise you that it wasn't reason that made me come around, it was spending time around leftists who I liked as people plus fear of being ostracized. This sounds terrible to say but basically people don't change their minds because you convince them logically, they change their mind for emotional reasons, most notably "in order to have consensus with the people they respect / who are close to them." Cults survive because they cut off relationships with anyone who isn't indoctrinated, so my #1 priority would be to just teach loving history in primary school and encourage as many people as possible to go to college. If that still doesn't reach someone that's unfortunate and I hate to give up on anyone completely, but at the same time, at a certain point you have to consider the relative value of trying to change one person's mind vs. legitimizing them in the eyes of others. Punching that dude in the face on the news sends a message that's ultimately more socially valuable than the cost of his bruises and hurt feelings.

glam rock hamhock posted:Actually it was a planned act of defiance, which doesn't at all take away from it, but it was originally a high school girl that would not give up her seat but the civil rights movement didn't want to make her the center of something like that so they had Parks, who was willing to bear what come down upon her, much more publically do the same thing. I'm not taking away but the whole thing was not Parks being tired I apologize for downplaying the intent and strategy that went into her act. I was mostly trying to make a joke premised around the image of her lifting the bus over her head like the Hulk and tossing it down the street.

Alhazred posted:And, for some reason, the Great Dictator. I have a theory that fascists have an accidentally great taste in movies because they believe that movies like Starship Troopers are glorifying fascism. It's because fascists stole or subverted several of the coolest artistic movements in history like no poo poo if you co-opt sturm and drang, german expressionism, and neoclassical architecture you're starting from a pretty strong position even if you water it down with repressive bullshit
