https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rog0lar7Zn8 This movie is funny because it's really not a horror about the realities of sustaining life after we've made the planet uninhabitable to the point that somehow all animals are extinct, but mankind is still kicking. Instead of the food riots, cannibalism, and mass graves of eco fascism (or hey, maybe there's plenty of resources left and the elites are hoarding it?) it tries to portray the totalitarian measures governments would have to take to survive as basically culture war bullshit. There's no underground market or crime or desperate homeless, it's yuppies eating food they don't like and complaining how long they waited to get into a museum ("4 years"). "The government won't let me have a real christmas tree so I drove to a preserve and cut one down! Hippies are forcing me to live as a poly couple!" I'm pretty sure when boomers think of pollution, this is the worst future they can imagine. Birth control in every bathroom.

There were a lot more jokes in the Watchmen HBO series than the original, but the biggest one of all was at the end where Ozymandias is getting arrested and is like "The President was in on the cover-up, are you going to arrest them, too?" and Laurie is like "well, yeah" and this is presented like a serious thing that can happen because no one is above the law lmao

Some Guy TT posted:so i watched an episode of star trek lower decks last night and was pretty galled at how every character was an obnoxious rear end in a top hat like it might have worked if this was an always sunny style sitcom where their being obnoxious assholes is the point but it felt like i was supposed to think they were sympathetic And for a show that fans praise as having such deep cut jokes I found the references pretty shallow aside for the oddballs like Spock's helmet. It's like they were just given an encyclopedia on Star Trek and merchandise, but only had seen some episodes on TBS passively. Sometimes I'm not even sure if it's supposed to be actually be a general scifi parody instead of distinctly Star Trek, or if the writers have a really warped idea about Star Trek. Several times they seem to be sincerely putting forth a moral lesson that they strictly follow the rules too much...in Star Trek? Huh? Knight has issued a correction as of 17:41 on Aug 21, 2021 |

indigi posted:maybe a couple kids learn something about MLK from this. maybe it can be good There have been a few companies using VR to make some free documentary-style experiences that have been pretty enjoyable. The Last Goodbye takes you on a guided trip by a Holocaust survivor to Majdanek as he recounts his experiences on his final trip back. I Am A Man puts you on the streets with civil rights protestors while they narrate their involvement in the movement and their experiences. The Book of Distance has you harvesting crops with a family of Japanese immigrants, putting you in their shoes (at one point behind the barb-wire fence of a camp) as they face racism and imprisonment in 1930s Canada. These are unique and I believe valuable ways of trying to involve the viewer with history in a way that is more immersive, particularly for ones that have trouble engaging with text or have difficulty visualizing these experiences. Some of them are striking in a way a simple video is not - Traveling While Black, depicting the green book experience of minorities planning trips along safe places to eat or sleep, puts you in the Ben's Chili Bowl while people talk discuss the history of the place and race-relations, while the mirror next to you stops being a reflection and begins to depict the diner as it was 60 years ago. Maybe some kids will form a better connection with history, maybe it will be trolled by racists, or maybe it'll end up like that Captain Planet episode where Wheeler gives us the scoop on The Troubles. I dunno. I just post.

I don't even understand what the parasites thought was going to happen. They were so over confident that they tried to coup before they even had enough agents in place, then it just stands there while getting its hosts head blown off and, shortly after, vaporized while doing the same. Was this an elaborate suicide?

Falstaff posted:I'll reserve judgement, ultimately, and I'm not going to pretend I won't see it, but I don't think it's a great sign that one of the Wachowskis chose to bow out of getting involved with this one. quote:"[Lana] had come up with this idea for another Matrix movie, and we had this talk, and it was actually — we started talking about it in between [our] dad dying and [our] mom dying, which was like five weeks apart," Lilly said. "And there was something about the idea of going backward and being a part of something that I had done before that was expressly unappealing. And, like, I didn't want to have gone through my transition and gone through this massive upheaval in my life, the sense of loss from my mom and dad, to want to go back to something that I had done before, and sort of [walk] over old paths that I had walked in, felt emotionally unfulfilling, and really the opposite — like I was going to go back and live in these old shoes, in a way. And I didn't want to do that."

I am curious what the machines are up to outside the Matrix. Has this become their purpose? All of them just security guards like Smith, stuck in this prison to keep the inmates from revolting? Or has the destruction of the planet been so bad that this is a comfortable existence in comparison? Also, highly recommend Malignant as a blind watch. The reveal in the last third and the follow through is loving wildly insane and fun.
