To fully embrace the RLM Extended Universe you need to be listening to No Such Thing as a Bad Movie while asking your local record store to stock the albums of IfIHadAHiFi and queuing up Let's Play videos from Second Wind.

Lexx loving rules. The initial 4 episode cinemax miniseries and then the first sci fi season (seasons 1 and 2) are both great. Season 3 is the start of the decline because of budget issues and then season 4 is a mess but gave us one of the best gifs in history https://i.imgur.com/6MjbB3Q.mp4

kalel posted:I'm glad, I saw a promo a while back before another movie and it looked like total poo poo Yeah I can't imagine making a trailer for it but the movie was incredible and hilarious. Vera Drew was there and she accidentally started doing standup a little in the intro which was also funny. One of the most interesting looking movies I've ever seen. It's incredible how well the visuals all work, it's like Amazing World of Gumball in terms of just throwing disparate visual styles all thrown together into one cohesive thing. Lorne Michael's was always this doughy CG guy with this shirt that would not stop warbling and flapping. Batman was always some flash cartoon drawing. It looked so cool all together.

Kingo Ligma posted:I just finished rewatching Battlestar Galactica season 1 on Blu ray thanks to the thread mentioning it the other day. The show loving rules, episodes like 33 are pretty much untouchable by any sci-fi tv this century. If you stop right after they leave New Caprica, it's a fantastic show. If you keep watching, you're in for a lot of wheel-spinning and backfill to try and make the conclusion meaningful. It doesn't work.

If you keep watching after New Caprica you see Baltar having really unhappy orgies with the Cylons.

In the show Lexx their spaceship is a giant penis, and I’m too intelligent to watch a show where the crew flies around in a giant penis.

Lexx is great, it is one of the most perfect realizations of concept that has ever been. It's just that that concept is "Sweat, insanity, and goofiness squeezed through the lens of no budget sci-fi".

people always talk about the movie Threads as this important “horror” movie or “super depressing” movie of note so i watched it last night. the whole time i just kept thinking that the movie was interesting and of note but not doing it for me. maybe it was too cheap looking or maybe everyone was just way too british. but then honestly i had trouble falling asleep haha. i do like a movie that pretends to be real (im like mike in that way. i also have giant purple hands) and the interstitial cards in between scenes were effective enough to not have the stupid random, out of place narration.

The whole sequence of the bomb dropping on Sheffield, chaos erupting, power systems collapsing and people just vanishing never to be seen again is so well edited, I'm having a hard time thinking of an apocalyptic sequence I've seen since watching Threads that filled me with such a stomach turning sense of dread e: here it is  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S5sVzS3itqY

I feel like either mike was getting his purple hands disease under control for a while, or at least the posters decided to stop gibing him about it for a time. I guess it's a long road when moderating your drinking is, well, not an option

It was quite the followup to The Snowman. My wife's gran survived the explosion in Nagasaki, it was mind boggling to think I actually met somebody who directly experienced what these kind of films shows. I found the museum at Hiroshima extremely upsetting (and then I kept getting asked by groups of Japanese schoolchildren what I thought about war as part of their school trips).

Cold War Nuclear War movies kick rear end. Filmmakers literally trying to stop the end of the world is like a different universe from Movie to create Happy Meals and fill Walmart isles. In high school American history my teacher had us watch the '60s Fail Safe and spend a week talking about it. He also hung a full size CCCP flag in class and he said he got a lot of complaints about it from other adults working there

Every so often I stumble upon a classic movie where I realize while watching it that I recognize various scenes and shots just from cultural osmosis. Fail Safe was a more recent example of this, where I'd seen the final shots of the movie parodied and copied for decades without ever connecting it back to the original source of it until the movie was almost over. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qxe3NMHRoVA&t=256s
