last movie of 2016 for me was Mad Max: Fury Road for the 4th (5th?) viewing. watched it new years eve with the surround sound cranked. i have the sub woofer behind my couch, so the engine rumbles actually rumbled the couch. it was dope. Hoping first movie of the year is going to be Predator.

Grendels Dad posted:He Never Died was great, Henry Rollins is hilarious as curmudgeonly Terminator. I've only joined Netflix last night but I've already seen two movies I would have bought otherwise, suck my dick physical media! I loving love this movie. physical media is great for when poo poo you bought years ago on amazon mysteriously disappears from your video library and your purchase history and so you have no recourse but to buy it again. that's super cool.

I never saw The Astronaut Farmer, but everything that I know about it makes it sound like it has themes ranging from intellectually perverse to disgustingly anti-science. Rambo 3's message continues to be great, and does much more to inform the context of real world events than the other way around.

glam rock hamhock posted:To me it's always been more than a little shocking and pathetic just how utterly lost Apple seem without Jobs. Like, I never gave him that much credit but apparently he was the only one there that had any clue about anything It really seems like they've just been drinking their own coolaid. Like they totally believe that they are this monolithic entity that determines market trends and people will buy their stuff just because it's trendy. Yeah, that's true for now, but it's not a permanent status. They became that way because of accessibility and perceived quality. Now they are throwing both of those away for some abstract attempt at "innovation". I was literally fed up with my lovely Lenovo and had decided my next laptoo would be a macbook pro. This was right before the new macbook with the touch bar was announced. There's now zero chance of me buying one.

Egbert Souse posted:I get what they're trying for and that's admirable, even if it's not currently the most practical for all uses. Here's the thing though: they could have released the product that is the new macbook pro as some new product or as a new macbook air. They could have called it the new macbook art or whatever. But they should have made a safe and standard professional quality macbook pro that would be compatible with peoples existing needs. That's all they had to do.

Jenny Angel posted:No I don't think so, but I've gotten 3 stars with every map with 3 separate partners (which the XBox said was like a pretty rare achievement to do once, maybe less than 1%?) and have racked up some obnoxious past-3-star records on a bunch of the maps, so I feel comfortable in my use of goofy hyperbole Lol that's fine. I do not doubt your abilities. My Overcooked partner is someone I've worked with in multiple real life kitchens with, so we bring in a lot of experience with that dynamic. A competitive aspect would have been really cool.

Silent Hill has a lot going for it, but it's marred by an insane amount of exposition. The climax of the movie is interrupted by a giant info dump.

I thought it was a somewhat effective reveal that Goggins's character was mentally handicapped. Just conceptually, it drove home the idea that the government was the bad guys, and everyone else was a victim. Which is part of why the ending of "getting to be an agent" was so stupid and counter to the rest of the movie.

CPL593H posted:Oh god. That movie was completely wretched. It's so far from being the fun or entertaining in anyway. I always completely forget it exists until someone mentions it. I think I can confidently say it's one of the worst movies I've ever seen. It actually had a lot going for it and some cool ideas. But then it also had some completely loving stupid bullshit that ruined the whole thing. I don't think could be fixed in editing, I think some pretty significant rewrites would be needed to salvage the good parts of it.

FreudianSlippers posted:I'm pretty sure shared that script about pissing LEGO bricks a while back. Are you serious? The imagery of a penis being ripped apart by a stream of lego bricks forcing their way out of/through the eurethra is the best part. Fabricating a rubber/gel/latex prop and making a rig to force lego bricks and fluid through it would totally be worth it. Cronenberg as gently caress.

Schwarzwald posted:So are we talking a handful of 1x1 round panels or are you planning on going full Duplo? I am picturing 2x6 block, but that's probably a bit extreme. But the tall ones. Maybe start with a 1x3, then a 1x2, then a 2x6 and call it good. Stream of urine, separate syringe to add blood as the bricks start to come. The easiest way to do is is probably to actually drill and thread and glue the bricks onto some clear fishing line, which will be concealed by the stream of fluid and maybe a bit of digital editing if they are all seperate strings, the bricks can fall away as they come out. This method has it's downsides, but I feel like it'll give the best bulge of the bricks traveling down the shaft. If that's not important visually (of course it is), you could instead use larger rubber tube for the shaft, which won't deform, but you put the bricks in it and push them through with a plunger.

Yeah, I went in prepared to dislike it for political reasons, but it was pretty dang good. I'm not a huge fan of theme that "operators know what's up but cia 'bureaucrats' are incompetent", but it's a tradition that date back to at least Rambo 2.

Spatula City posted:If you've read anything about CIA bureaucrats, their incompetence should be a given. If the Cold War was decided based on the relative competence of the KGB and the CIA, the Soviets would've kicked our asses within five years. CIA was, and remains full of privileged idiots in administrative positions. Yes, but if you've read anything about "operators", many of them are psychotic racists who like to spew bullshit about how badass they are. They could have made a movie where there were mistakes made by everyone, but they made a movie around a standard "white collar vs blue collar" dynamic, where the heroic blue-collar operators are held back by cowardly white-collar CIA. I don't think they needed to make the suits the bad guys in the movie, when in my limited understanding of the complicated situation, they weren't in real life. I have a general dislike for movies based on historical events where they make characters more villainous to make the narrative simpler. That's like, what fiction is for. edit: Also, I put "bureaucrat" in quotes in my original post, because while the character is certainly portrayed as a bureaucrat in the film, I would be surprised of the head of a real life field office of that size was really such an incompetent paper-pusher. Yes I know that the CIA is full of incompetent paper-pushers, but are field offices really headed by people incapable of making command decisions? I thought the problem with Benghazi was that the whole office and excuse for an embassy should't have been there because it wasn't properly set up and equipped. Not that the people who worked there were morons. But like I said, I honestly don't know very much about it. Snak fucked around with this message at 23:06 on Jan 15, 2017 |

At the same time, why not make a version of the script that is just the script for people to read? Like, the barrier fir reading it is its length. The reason its long for a scriot is because it has all thesr other directions in it. Which are fine for what CP wants to do with it. But like, why not distribute the script-shaped one for feedback? edit: Hat Thoughts posted:I'm not sure how you tell any story without simplifying it a bit unless you're making Andy Warhol's Empire. I don't have a problem with simplifying a story. I have a problem with creating a villain where, before, none existed, specifically in reference to "true stories". Like how in Cinderalla Man, they make Max Baer into a villain who was glad he killed people in the ring. Snak fucked around with this message at 23:28 on Jan 15, 2017 |

Watch regular first. Redux is like 45 minutes longer and has "worse" pacing. Actually, I'm not sure I've actually ever watched Redux. It think I just watched one of the deleted sections on youtube.

Kingdom of the Crystal Skull is unwatchably bad. Unlike every other Indy movie, the action sequences are completely sterile. The pacing is just garbage overall. The few good ideas it has are comletely overshadowed by how clunky the execution is.
