Agnostalgia posted:i just want to know where he thought iran was prior to today. africa? mexico? The middle east is traditionally where it is thought to be, with very little in the way of cultural or historical ties to Japan and China, two countries which are right next to each other on the other side of the world from Iran with a rich, complicated and often violently intertwined history and a large number of shared traditions, a common ancestral language, and so on. But no, it definitely makes sense to say China, Japan and Iran are exactly the same, but, say, Turkey has nothing in common with a nearby state it shares a majority religion with.

Oh poo poo after reading this post Iran switched to writing in kanji. If we're going by actual geology, French people are also "Asian". If we're going by cultural identity, Iranians aren't. What seems to be the definition used here is "not white".

I can't believe Colin worked on Lexx, I bet he was the one responsible for the tongue bidet in the living toilet on the ship I watched Threads every night for 3 months continuously and I'm sure it had a positive effect on my mental health

colin’s slow reveal over the years that he is an actual canadian vampire who has been watching films in theaters since…well the beginning of moving pictures has been fun. that time someone mentioned return of the jedi and colin just let slip “yeah i took my grandkids to see it in the theater opening night.”

Here is Colin circa 1920, as one of the original founding members of The Group of Seven. He was replaced not long after his inclusion in the group, replaced by Frederick Varley, after his particular artistic talents in sick 3D renders clashed with the groups overall aesthetic of landscape paintings.

LanceHunter posted:Going to see this tomorrow, mostly because I'm a fan of Theda Hammel's work. This trailer makes it look pretty terrible, but I'm holding out hope that it won't seem like a callback to 2000s-era IFC Originals. Holy poo poo, y'all. This was actually pretty damned good. It's definitely an indie, and the writer/director was clearly working through some poo poo and had some axes to grind, but the movie really sticks with you. So yeah, if you're in one of the 5 cities where it is playing I recommend checking it out. (Or, more realistically, watch it in 3-4 weeks when it's on VOD.)

Just watched Infested. Nice silly, creepy spider movie. Not a huge genre, but probably the best since Arachnophobia. The conceit of what is happening with the spiders is essentially sci-fi, but presented as "fact" in the movie, but other than that I really liked it.

Hackers film 1995 posted: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. Off topic but what amuses me about Threads is how amazingly out of fashion and touch Britain is comparatively to the rest of the world during that time period. It's 1984 but everyone and everything looks like it's the 1950s. Britain is a joke basically.

Poo In An Alleyway posted: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 probably a result of budget limitations but this seems wildly optimistic for a nuclear exchange
