It's been a minute since I've seen such unanimous praise, especially for a spaceman movie. Robbie Collins is the critic I tend to agree with the most and his review was essentially  I'm probably gonna cry when I eventually see this on a real big screen. Probably because I will be blazed as fuk

I get it, most of that superhero poo poo is cringe or corny as hell, and the fanboys for that stuff are disgusting freaks. But its just like getting mad about Barney

Hodgepodge posted:It still bugs me that the great secret to breaking Suk School conditioning is... threatening a loved one with torture. drat now that pisses me off too. I guess I was misremembering like the Suk doctors had to have no living family or something, and the wife was from before he entered the Suk School, but kept imprisoned for years, but after Googling that's not apparently the case... Ah well

Herbert only alluded to the boylust in his novel, whereas Orson Scott Card really developed on the theme. Arthur C Clarke avoided the topic entirely in his writing, not wanting to mix his work and his pleasure

flashy_mcflash posted:I got to see this on Saturday and I thought it was terrific. It's perfectly cast and the way Villeneuve's crafted the sets and the costumes and everything else just feels right. I'm also pretty cynical about this movie doing anything but losing a fuckload of money and Villeneuve not being able to make any more, which loving sucks. Nice TIFF humblebrag. J/k. Haha how did I totally blank that Javier Bardem is in this too

Steen71 posted:And back in the 80s and 90s it'd sometimes be half a year. In Denmark we got T2 a full five months after the US release. By which point, the T1000 as a bad guy was already in the public consciousness, fully ruining the T2 "twist" (which had already been ruined by some of the marketing, the GnR video, and the fact that Robert Patrick looks creepy as poo poo). A few years ago I forced my girlfriend to a cinema double bill of The Terminator and T2, and she was actually pretty  at the reveal, which was wild

Not exactly the same thing as Clarke hunting for boys in Sri Lanka, or Asimov harassing everything that moved. E: also it's more true to say that Asimov kept his creepiness out of his fiction writing only, since he wrote a book called The Sensuous Dirty Old Man

Eason the Fifth posted:Still blows my mind that either or both of these came out during the era depicted in Mad Men. Yeah but in the culture at the time these were niche products for ur-goons, weirdos, and children. The mainstream was neo-suburbanites getting really excited by a new Dave Brubeck record and ordering a pair of chinos from the Sears catalog Now thanks to Disney this poo poo is the coin of the cultural realm and you have like... presidential candidates saying Wakanda Forever

Lutha Mahtin posted:hans zimmer is really good at being "inspired" by musical themes from other sources. he's so good at it that he got sued by the estate of gustav holst for a song in the gladiator soundtrack sounding a bit too much like "mars" from the planets. he is also a huge dune nerd so it wouldn't be too surprising if he is familiar with the games At least Zimmer was intentionally ripping off Mars in a context that made sense (Rome, war, terror), whereas John Williams has just sailed on stealing from Holst for his entire career

I brought in a half pint of whiskey and drank it pretty fast and every time I took a pull I had a big gulp of coke with it so consequently I had to take a BIG piss during the last 30 minutes so I’m pretty mad about the 5 minutes I missed and will be giving this movie a 2.5 out of 5 stars.
