It's not like it's hard to find people bragging about going to see lame bands and arguing about comic books anywhere else. Yeah, I can't imagine anyone else in this thread reacting well to getting called for their posting, and being met with the peanut gallery comments of "Pretentious" and "Baby", because yeah, that makes this thread a cool place to post about movies and not a refuge for cliquey shitposters or anything.

DrVenkman posted:I learned that Keanu Reeves started a Cancer charity to help children, but he doesn't attach his name to it because he doesn't want it to look like a celebrity cause thing. He's also made donated $5 Million to help with his sister's illness, and he spent the day sitting on the side of the road with a homeless dude just shooting the poo poo one time. All in all, if more celebrities were like Keanu Reeves then Hollywood would be a better place. He's just trying to atone for all the sins of his immortal life.

Spatula City posted:Fullmetal Alchemist and Fullmetal Alchemist:Brotherhood are about the only anime I'd feel comfortable recommending to normal real life people, largely because both series are about the only ones I can think of that aren't sort of creepy towards women (maybe because the writer of the original manga was a woman). I love Paranoia Agent. "Happy Family Planning" is one of the greatest episodes of anything. My current scoot loudout in TF2 is based on Lil' Slugger. I just wish the series was easily available for purchase.

Oh man, Blur, I love that woohoo song! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SSbBvKaM6sk Actually back in high school, a friend gave me her copy of The Great Escape, because it didn't sound anything like Song 2. Huh, it looks like there's been a culling of Blur videos on youtube for some reason. But whatever: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iyXgC0l8o4k https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DNumVU9uBgo Blur owns.

I just bought this ridiculous thing, because I didn't have the extended version: It's like a project some nerd made in shop class. I also picked up the double disc 25th Anniversary set of Cannibal Holocaust. I'm guessing someone decided to sell off their horror collection. They had a bunch of Troma stuff as well.

The problem with Zack Snyder is he doesn't know what to cut, I mean, his cut of Watchmen is like six hours long. But speaking of extended cuts, The Wicker Man was pretty disappointing, all the deleted scenes were just spelling things out other scenes either implyed or already had spelled out, and as much as I love the Gently Johnny song on the soundtrack, that scenes really doesn't fit into the movie. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RsjMcEqjZ-c In the extended version, this serves as the introduction to Lord Summerisle. Which is unfortunate, because the scene of Sgt. Howie showing up at his castle is my favourite scene in the movie. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LzCSSvMesxA I'd like to think that's the normal resting pose of Christopher Lee.

HUNDU THE BEAST GOD posted:There's something really charming about his racism, and maybe it's just a condescending British colonialist thing that's so different from American racism. Bond genuinely marveling at fried chicken and Harlem honies cracks me up rather than making me feel uneasy, unlike the supposedly "fun" Robert E. Howard stories that are just chock full of virulent hatred. There is some of that stuff too, like Bond being tortured about being attracted to Solitaire but deciding it's okay because she's half white. Some of the poo poo in You Only Live Twice is insane as well. I'm guessing I've been lucky enough to avoid Howard's racist moments. I've only read a handful of Conan stories though I've been reading a lot of Lovecraft though, and holy poo poo is that man unpleasant. I really don't understand why he has so much traction these days, his writing is abysmal and for every creepy idea he writes it's followed up with a huge racist tirade. I'm already tired of hearing about phrenology.

HUNDU THE BEAST GOD posted:It seems to be mostly in the non-Conan stuff, Conan seems more interested in square jawed, old fashioned, adventure style sexism. Also oiled up boys in loincloths. And look at this guy, pretending SJWs aren't taking are freedoms. No one really owns up to it though, it's always handwaved "Oh, he was just afraid of everyone" "He had a Jewish wife!" and so on.

SuperMechagodzilla posted:Lovecraft isn't interesting in spite of his racism. He is interesting because of it. Oh I definitely agree, the amorphous blob at the end of At the Mountains of Madness is probably the greatest image he's written, and it's only his thinly veiled fear of minorities rising up and decapitating white men. But at the same time it's just a slog to read him congratulating himself for the hilarious joke of naming a cat Niggerman. HUNDU THE BEAST GOD posted:Hilariously, just about the only person Internet-at-Large seems to ever want to treat as a full fledged human being with faults and foibles is Adolf Hitler. Parental sounds about right, at least some sense of ownership. And this is just as depressing as hilarious.

Uncle Boogeyman posted:I just find Howard's stuff a chore to read. It's all the goddamn same. Even next to Lovecraft. While every Conan story follows the exact same structure, they're at least fun to read, which is more than I can say of most Lovecraft stories. Though I am in the middle of reading Herbert West: Reanimator right now and it's a lot of fun.

Maxwell Lord posted:The man was a talented writer, Hahah, no. He was creative, but he's about as schlocky pulp as you get. One of my favourite examples of his writing: quote:There had been a gorgeous sunset, and now the moon came up, nearly full and shedding a silver flood over the plain, the distant mountainside, and the curious low mounds that rose here and there. It was a peaceful Arcadian scene, but knowing what it hid I hated it. I hated the mocking moon, the hypocritical plain, the festering mountain, and those sinister mounds. This is the handwaving I'm talking about, the dudes work is always about inferior humans and bloodlines or thinly veiled minorities. It is the text, and the text is racist poo poo.
