ended 2016 with Alien, starting 2017 with Blade Runner. If this year is gonna get dystopic, I'm gonna get real dystopic. Also I've never seen Blade Runner before and I'd like to be informed when 2049 comes around.

I forgot that I had promised to post some cool OVA's in here now and then, so I'll put some more up later, but for now have this lovely music video done by Ghibli in the early 90's:

I saw Princess Mononoke tonight and they played this video before it, just like the original theatrical release. It's pretty cool, but the music sounds way too 80s yacht rock for the video.

I wish more gigantic-budget sci-fi movies looked like Minority Report. The washed out, the bright, the blue tint, the 70s horror feel of the precogs visions, it's so much more interesting than boring-rear end looking movies like *insert non-Zack Snyder superhero movie here* or *insert Star Franchise movie here*. I watched the second half of Minority Report after Rogue One tonight (I watched the first half last night) and oh my god it's like night and day and Minority Report is 15 loving years old. I know I've made this exact post, but it's my favorite Spielberg. and the best use of Tom Cruise. His height, his intensity, his love for running.

Valerian looks dope, but it kinda goes in the opposite direction.

I watched Alien the other night for the billionth time and it's staggering how vibrant and alive it looks compared to your current day sci fi/horror/films in general. Not everything needs a tint of color.

I know in my heart this is true but the movies I love the most visually all look almost garishly colorful (see: Minority Report, Scott Pilgrim, Spring Breakers, Drive/Only God Forgives/Neon Demon, The Films of Zack Snyder). If I were to ever make a movie it would be so neon that Refn would tell me to tone it down.

Every year and a half or so I get the urge to rewatch Up in the Air and when that urge strikes me, I think to myself, "Why, I remember it being good but not that good." Then I watch it and I'm reminded that, no, it is really that good and I probably don't remember that because it rises to the levels that all of Jason Reitman's other movies vocally aspire to.

it makes me so angry whenever I think about Jason Reitman's last two movies because Labor Day is such a boring movie that could be made by anyone and The Internet Is Really Really Bad Y'all, Starring Adam Sandler is one of the worst, most anger inducing things I've watched in a theater.

and then I think about his first four movies and wonder how he could gently caress that up. What if that happens to Edgar Wright? What if his next movie is just complete and total garbage? I don't think I could handle that.

I saw this and gently caress these people, but also I watched Milo and Otis as a kid so I am partly to blame for Hollywood's treatment of animals.

Regardless, they should definitely wait until this dies down and make A Dog's Purpose into a TV show because a procedural about how great dogs are would get huge ratings on Animal Planet.

I had the sever with a friend after he started tweeting about Sandy Hook conspiracy theories - not because he authentically believed them, but because he was already pre-disposed to the position that, regardless of what the facts were, they were being twisted to support gun control, so he might as well proliferate the conspiracy simply to undermine the credibility of the government.

this is legitimately one of the most disgusting things I've ever read. How do you manage to be an even shittier person than the ones who are propagating this hurtful conspiracy theory?

The New Beverly Cinema and the Silent Movie Theater are two other art house theaters close to the Hollywood area.

http://thenewbev.com

http://cinefamily.org

The diner from Pulp Fiction and the restaurant where DeNiro and Pacino have their sit down in Heat are both out of business (and they just shut down the Formosa, the dive bar from Swingers), but the diner from the opening of Reservoir Dogs is still open and located in Eagle Rock. It's called Pat & Lorraine's and I recommend their breakfast if you decide to check it out. Cash only tho. Here's the Yelp page.

Pat & Lorraine's - https://www.yelp.com/biz/pat-and-lorraines-coffee-shop-los-angeles

The Dresden was the other bar they go to in Swingers, I'm pretty sure that one's still open, it's located on Vermont, east of Hollywood. The area the Dresden's in is pretty trendy too, with a couple little theaters nearby (the Los Feliz 3 and the Vista) and some other bars and restaurants that make up the Vermont/Los Feliz area.

If you're looking for a little more seedier experience, Cheetah's and Jumbo's are two go-go dancing bars that attract big crowds. Jumbo's is a clown-themed bar, but it's crazy popular for whatever reason, and there's usually a line to get in.

If you're looking to catch any live music, The Echo/Echoplex, The Satellite, The Roxy, Troubadour, and the Fonda are all really good venues, and the Echo does themed dance nights which are usually pretty cool.

SuperMechagodzilla posted:

People on the internet are under a continual pressure to generate 'opinions', even in the rudimentary form of a Like or Subscribe. But forming an actual opinion requires actual work. (Note: work is distinct from 'effort' or 'caring' or whatever). You have to go through the process of interpretation.

Let's go over the basic plot of TFA, for example:

The evil Snoke is for some reason obsessed with killing Luke Skywalker. He has the basic goal is pure technological progress or whatever, but killing Luke is his main concern. To that end he has brainwashed a bunch of children by putting them in robot suits. He then uses his new robot army to convert the ancient planet Ilum, source of the mystical Force-related Kyber Crystals, into a giant factory and secret base for a nuclear-grade laser weapon.

That's the wookiepedia backstory, of course. In the actual film, the characters are just dumped into this conflict and told that they've got to go fast. Run really fast in a straight line and avoid traps. Bop the stormtroopers in the head and they will immediately revert to an 'innocent' state of nature. There is CG imagery of greenery and of ancient temples being crushed by Snoke's progress, but the heroes don't really think about the implications. The plight of the stormtroopers is an afterthought. The goal is simply to burn away 'impurity' with cleansing light - humiliating the bad, pompous totalitarian.

So yeah, as I was getting to earlier, TFA is absolutely identical, in both plot and narrative, to the original Sonic The Hedgehog series of games:

"The evil mad scientist Dr. Eggman is up to his old nasty tricks again. 'Sonic... that annoying, impertinent hedgehog. Thanks to him, my great plans are always laid to waste! Oh, but this time, I'm going to rub him out with the power of science! Ha ha ha ha ha...'

South Island is a treasure trove of gems and ancient ruins. They say that it's the island where the mystical Chaos Emeralds lie. The Chaos Emeralds are a super-material that give energy to all living beings. Also, when applied to scientific purposes, they can be used for nuclear and laser based weaponry. However, nobody knows exactly how to get ahold of these emeralds. At the same time, though, they do say that the reason why South Island is always moving is because the emeralds are somewhere inside the island's hazy depths.

One day, crisis visited upon the island. And who showed up with it but Dr. Eggman and his cronies. 'I'll find those emeralds even if I have to dig up the entire island to do it!'

Dr. Eggman set up a fort in one corner of the island, and went about carrying out his plan.

'Eggman, you still haven't had enough?' Sonic hurried as soon as he heard the news. Dr. Eggman never seemed to leave him alone, even though Sonic had beaten him every time so far. It sounded like Dr. Eggman considered Sonic his sworn enemy, but he was never any match for Sonic.

However, this time something is amiss.

'Have you seen it, Sonic? This time is going to be different! Because this time, I've turned all the animals on the island into robots!'

'E, Everybody!?'

''All of them go about in accordance to my orders. In other words, Sonic, everyone on the island is your enemy! Gya- Ha ha ha ha ha ha ^cough^ ^ack^ ^ahem^. This time, the world really will be all mine!'

This is terrible! Hurry! Sonic the Hedgehog - everyone is waiting for your help!"
_{-Sonic The Hedgehog instruction manual, 1991}

The comparison of TFA to Sonic is obviously not limited to that aforementioned weird adult presexuality; these works share an ideology. One of Sonic's subgoals is to 'free' the industrious worker drones from their tools and into nature. It's just taken as a given that they don't want to have cool mech suits equipped with drills and saws. The animals are tossed naked into the virtual paradise of polygonal trees and grid-textured dirt. (It's his status as an immortal adult plastic cartoon in a virtual Garden Of Innocence that gives Sonic his immense proto-furry appeal. It's the stuff inflation fetishes are made of.) In Sonic's view, he will be 'greeted as a liberator.' None of those ugly factories are allowed on South Island - but then, who makes Sonic's red Nikes?

TFA is pretty much a straight adaptation of this. Not even the more-nuanced JC Avatar has as many points in common.

SuperMechagodzilla posted:

That's nothing more than the Hedgehog/Prower phenomenon of ostensibly adult characters engaged in prolonged and intense bouts of presexual intimacy.

FN and Poe - despite being twenty- and thirty-somethings, respectively - are several steps behind Matthew Broderick's teen hacker in Wargames, who tentatively explores how it feels to take his shirt off in front of a girl.

For fans, the actual erotic appeal comes from the fact that Sonic The Hedgehog does not gently caress. Ever. He achieves full satisfaction just by staring at you with his massive hypersensitive eyes, and passionately filling his rounded belly with chilidogs. Poe and FN, likewise, will never move beyond hugging and trying on eachothers' clothes. They have no need to.

At least everyone in the show agrees this is a really messed up situation. It's not like those episodes where one of the characters has to be like "Do transgendered people REALLY deserve to live?" or some other such nonsense. There's a few episodes in season 14 where the entire cast is on the obviously wrong side of a really hosed up situation and at no point do they walk it back.

I got really mad because the episode before it had someone talking about costumed vigilantes (thanks, SVU) beating up rapists and at one point they strung an accused rapist up on a fence, and one of the detectives said "it's kinda like the Trayvon Martin case", which made me yell "HE WAS JUST A BLACK KID, HE DIDN'T DO ANYTHING" at my TV.

My state's legislature has just had a bill introduced that would take away minimum wage increases in cities across the state and prevent localities from ever increasing minimum wage above the state minimum wage (the state minimum wage is still 7.25) because apparently local control only extends as far as it can be used to gently caress poor people. The minimum just got raised to 10.10 on January 1st and it's possible that wage might not last more than 6 months before it gets bumped down to lower than it was *7 years ago* when I got my first retail job.

Was having a discussion on this earlier with someone, and CineD feels like the most obvious place to ask this.

Is there a severity to disruption, by someone with special needs, that bringing down the proverbial hammer (via talking to a caregiver or a manager) is warranted? Or is tolerance always/inherently better because we're talking about people who literally have mental issues which prevent them from being entirely quiet during a movie?

We have a guy that comes into our theater every Saturday who is self-sufficient enough to come in without a caregiver, but makes (seemingly) uncontrollable, high-pitched vocalizations while he's in the lobby and we've never had anyone come in to complain about it so maybe everyone is just really polite or he's able to control it enough while he's watching the movie.

Similarly, the last couple of times I've gone to see a movie with my dad he smacks his lips loud enough that I notice and my biggest fear is that someone is going to ask him to stop and I am going to have to explain to them during the movie why he can't.

But yeah I'd just either move away as much as you can or just ask the manager for a pass. Movie theater managers, in my experience, are both understanding and conflict adverse.
