Aglet56 posted:the dark knight really has dropped out of the public discourse, huh? remember when it was the #1 imdb movie? I remember people were angry that Rifftrax did it because how dare they make fun of the greatest movie ever made!! I like to think that people missed the whole "Bush died for your sins" message but it is pretty obvious, though maybe not as obvious as "don't let poor people have power" in Dark Knight Rises.

Some Guy TT posted:batman literally builds a massive unchecked illegal surveillance network to hunt the joker down but this totally isnt a george bush analogy because morgan freeman handwrings about the ethical implications while letting batman use it anyway He knows people will hate him for tapping phones but he does it because he wants to keep us safe! You can die a hero or live long enough to become a villain, and poor old Also Batman kidnaps a man in another country but that isn't shown as a big deal; Morgan Freeman even helps him then.

gradenko_2000 posted:I'm not gonna link it because I'm not gonna subject anyone else to a 40 minute video essay, but there was a very convincing one about how Voyager was good, actually, and that most of the criticisms against it were piddly nerd poo poo like "they couldn't possibly have had that many photon torpedoes" and "they lost too many shuttles with no way to replace them!" Voyager wasn't good but the amount of vitriol it gets is stupid. A lot of people have this utter hatred for Janeway because she doesn't get the ship back even though that's the whole premise of the show. mysterious frankie posted:Didn’t they kinda hint that Worf was at very least hunting and eating the other crew members? I’m guessing there was a whole lot of clearing the throat and looking the other way going on for a few weeks after they cleared that up. Also the doctor gets her face melted off. But at the end everything's fine and no one has any trauma about turning into monsters and trying to kill each other.

Serf posted:300 can be read as a satire, sure. but after seeing it in the theater one of my friends, an army ranger, walked out saying that he couldn't wait to go back to iraq to "kill some more hajis" no such thing as an anti-war movie. also maybe this person shouldn't be your friend.

Alhazred posted:Both Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons were surprised that that superhero comics continued to be a thing after Watchmen. They both though that Watchmen was the definite word about superheroes because it showed how broken the idea was. But instead both DC and Marvel just copied the dark and gritty aesthetic. I don't think they believed Watchmen would end superheroes, they thought superheroes were on the decline already and Watchmen was commentary on a dying genre.

Also they seem to be twins as children but as adults Gretel is somehow about fifteen years younger than Hansel. After the success of Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland there was a wave of movies based on fairy tales or public domain fantasies. Some were straightforward but some were edgy and dark like Hansel and Gretel, Red Riding Hood, and Snow White & The Huntsman.

DR FRASIER KRANG posted:Disney cut an entire song from Muppet Christmas Carol. it's not a good song ("When Love Is Gone") but it has a reprise at the end that now makes no sense. The theatrical release cut the song and then some home video version have it and some don't. Disney+ cuts the song but they do include it as an extra.

Good soup! posted:I'd say Little Drummer Boy but lol I forgot that poo poo opens with the kid's family being brutally loving slaughtered and that's a bit intense for my daughter and her nieces/nephews There's also Nestor, the Long-Eared Christmas Donkey, where Nestor and his mother are thrown out into a blizzard and his mother freezes to death. I remember liking The Life and Adventures of Santa Claus, the final Rankin/Bass stop-animated special, in which Santa Claus is dying and the various spirits of nature try to decide if he should be saved. Santa is voiced by the same guy who did Mumm-Ra on Thundercats.

Farm Frenzy posted:i watched the 1999 film the 13th floor because i vaguely remembered seeing the box at the rental places (???) as a small child and i was surprised to find that its yet another movie that came out in 1999 that has pretty much the same premise as the matrix. how many of those movies did they make?? this is like the fifth now that i can think of off the top of my head without going broad enough to include poo poo like fight club as well Farm Frenzy posted:matrix, dark city, existenz, truman show, 13th floor. what am i missing Bowfinger, sort of. It crosses over with the premise of someone's life being recorded for other people to watch, like The Truman Show, 1999's EDtv and the 1996 Michael Lindsay-Hogg film Guy. I haven't seen The 13th Floor but I did see the World on a Wire, the 1973 Fassbinder adaptation of the same 1964 book, Simulacron-3, which apparently invented the whole idea of intelligent programs in a virtual reality.

Haven't seen it but there's a 1997 movie called Nirvana about a video game character who achieves sentience and wants to die for good rather than die and be resurrected repeatedly. It also deals with multiple levels of reality. Being John Malkovich is another one from 1999 about people watching someone else's life. Strange Days might fit in as well.

loquacius posted:Equilibrium was "what if The Giver was 1984, but also the matrix because it's 2002 and that's what sells" Also Brave New World, what with the letter T being everywhere. One dystopia you don't hear about as much is Jack London's The Iron Heel, which is mainly about the establishment of a fascist dictatorship, but the idea is that eventually that government falls and is replaced by a glorious Marxist utopia, and throughout the book are footnotes hinting at how things changed. pogi posted:Scrubs is probably the most accurate show I’ve seen about being in a hospital tbh. you’ll be goofing off with your work pals and then somebody will code and there’s a frenzy of activity and they’ll still loving die and then it’s back to goofin’. I remember reading that some law society declared Night Court as the most realistic courtroom show ever, because it shows that usually you're trying to get through minor stuff and not big dramatic cases. Scrubs was kind of a spiritual successor.

Koirhor posted:so far I must say every episode of season 11 is total rear end, which is a shame because I don’t hate jodie as the doctor, the writing and plots are just garbage That seems to be a common opinion: nothing wrong with Whittaker, she's just stuck with bad stories and a bad showrunner. Things probably won't be as bad with RTD coming back, but they still probably won't be that good.

Frosted Flake posted:Was Fringe good? I remember liking it though it's been a while. It has standalone episodes and an ongoing story that actually goes somewhere. The fourth season gets bad though. Paper Girls is a new show that I thought was pretty good, though the character interactions are more interesting than the science fiction plot. I'm not sure how c-spam it is.
