Last movie of 2016 was rewatching The Big Short but in Italian, last new movie was Lights Out, also in Italian. Haven't watched a full movie in 2017 yet

Cuz I'm in Italy visiting my girlfriend's family for the holidays! Their English isn't so hot, so when we watch movies it's gotta be in Italian, but that's fine since for me it's good practice.

Well I'd say the one where people are injured is worse, but the Apple thing is definitely stupid as hell.

weekly font posted:Hey thanks! Not sure if you mean Now and Again Prime or the 2016 specials with all the goons on it (another one is coming Sunday), but either way, I appreciate the feedback. I feel like the best podcasts are just recording poo poo you would already be talking about. It's why We Hate Movies works where How Did This Get Made does not. Boogey's Nameless Cults does the same thing where it sounds like you're in on a discussion that is naturally occurring. With or without podcasting I find myself defending and talking about how much I love pop music and why it's important. Both, actually! I listened to the special you posted a few days ago and now I'm going through the archive and it's really enjoyable. I'd be happy to come on sometime buuut I actually have very very little knowledge of pop music so I dunno if the conversation would be that good from my end  E: Timby posted:William Peter Blatty has died. drat that sucks

therattle posted:I was actually hoping that they'd pick a strong Christian who attended Church regularly and was clearly a person of faith, but of the Jesus rather than Jeee-suz variety, who could advance progressive arguments founded on a belief in fairness and equality that were supported by their faith. Faith seems pretty important to a lot of voters, so use it. I'm thinking of a heavily watered-down version of liberation theology. This is basically how Ellison's Islam seems to inform him, though.

Yeah all y'all responded much in the way I would have. Giving ground to the right, especially by avoiding a leadership candidate because of his religion, is exactly the opposite of what the left/the dems (since they're mostly only nominally part of the left) needs. Sticking to their progressive guns and combining that with identity politics that are more thorough than the surface-level poo poo liberals tend to traffic in is the only real way forward.

Oh hell yeah. One great thing about Shane Black is that he's really good at directing kids, so the fact that there's a little kid in the main cast for a Predator movie isn't even cause for concern.

Did Reagan have a negative public image in his own time? There were some scandals (e.g. Iran-Contra), but I got the impression that he was also very popular then. Undeservedly, obviously.

He was a great salesman, though, "It's Morning Again In America" was an amazing slogan. Sounds familiar. E: oh poo poo yeah people giving him credit for ending the Cold War is definitely real and irritating. I live in Germany and ever time I end up saying I hate Reagan somebody is like "but what about the Berlin Wall." It's this weird dissonance between people saying the USSR was inherently doomed but still attributing its end to that monster Mahlertov Cocktail fucked around with this message at 17:19 on Mar 11, 2017 |

Speaking of the Cold War, what are some good movies set around it? Possession, The Lives of Others, Fail Safe (fictionalized but still)... I just realized this post makes it sound like Possession is based on real events, and I just want to clarify: that is intentional and true

I haven't seen that yet. But yeah, exposition doesn't automatically equal worse quality, but I do appreciate when a really good movie has very little of it and is completely comprehensible and better than it would've been with more plot chat. See also Mad Max: Fury Road

Magic Hate Ball posted:My experience with the movie was that, by the end of it, I was utterly baffled by the plot machinations but the actual emotional experience, particularly during the montage at the end, was so powerful that I didn't even care. I had read the book beforehand so it was a little more straightforward for me, but I could still see how the plot elements would fit together without that crutch. The emotional weight is definitely impactful, though, yeah

Detective No. 27 posted:Good Bye Lenin!, a comedy set just after the Cold War. An old lady and pro-communist wakes up from a coma shortly after the fall of the USSR. Her grown up son has to keep her from finding out or else the shock might kill her. I love Good Bye Lenin! It was one of the first movies I was able to watch and understand in German without subtitles, which may be part of why I tend to use some Berliner German sometimes.
