I do get the vibe of something that's trying to go for a subversive ending that they really have no idea how to even begin to actually pull off.

But he wasn't one of the bad pro-slavery traitors. Also, the war's been over for years, but he still wears the uniform.

That's a whole Thing in westerns, including the original Django iirc. One that really didn't get examined as much as it shoulda been.Megillah Gorilla posted:But he wasn't one of the bad pro-slavery traitors. That said I think the implication's usually that the uniform is the only set of clothes he owns.

I kinda liked in Call of Juarez 2 (video game). The brother protagonists were confederate soldiers, and very much horrible people you should not cheer for.

Just stick him in his own loop, gently caress that guy. Gives then something to use all that penis-flattening technology the former Bad Place has laying around for.

Android Apocalypse posted:So this is on while I drink my morning coffee: This sort of thing just used to happen all the time in Euro-Horror. The most famous example is all the films that are Zombi 3 and/or Demons 3 but there are other examples. Like there's a Spanish film called Tombs of the Blind Dead (1972) which is about people being terrorised by the titular Blind Dead, skeletal blood drinking templars whose eyes were pecked out by birds centuries ago and must therefore stalk the living via sound alone. In the US it was briefly sold as Revenge from Planet Ape to cash in on the massive popularity of the Planet of the Apes. The flashback scenes showing the living Templars were cut and a title card was added that implies that the revenants were undead apes from an ancient ape civilization. No other changes were made. Film distributors have no shame.

my mom started watching This is Us, and it might just be me catching bits of it, but it legit seems like the family would have been better off if they hadn't adopted the third kid. Like, three kids to two adults is already stretching it before you get into the race issue/the lies. Of course, no story then, but it feels like a huge red flag about adoption, kinda like how that movie Orphan had a thing about how many kids were in foster care and in need of homes, after a horror movie showing why it's an insane idea.

Okay, I tried to watch Dark Waters last night. It's your standard film about a plucky environmental lawyer taking on an evil chemical company that's been dumping a toxic chemical into a town's water supply. In this case, the chemical is PFOA. And I'm not disputing that it's toxic, or that DuPont is evil, or that they were dumping it into the town's water supply. But Jesus Christ, when we get to the big reveal, it's just horrendous. Check this poo poo out. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=txSfGkMoxbY&t=93s quote:“There is a man-made chemical. It was invented during the Manhattan Project. It repelled the elements, especially water. So they used it to make the first ever waterproof coating for tanks. It was indestructible. Then some companies thought “Hey, why just the battlefield? Why not bring this chemical into American homes?” DuPont was one of those companies. So they took this chemical, PFOA, they renamed it 'C8,' and they made their own impenetrable coating. But not for tanks - for pans. They called it Teflon. No, no, no! None of this is right! Putting aside the little quibbles (water isn't an element, neither PFOA nor Teflon was invented during the Manhattan Project), what's left over is egregiously wrong. First, the idea that this was the "first waterproof coating for tanks" is hilarious. The notion that you've even give a poo poo about putting a 'waterproof coating' on your tanks on the battlefield is hilarious. What, you don't want them to wrinkle or stain? Teflon was used in the Manhattan project, and was used as a protective coating on tanks. But they were tanks filled with uranium hexafluoride gas and the coating was to protect the tanks from the uranium hexafluoride, not from water. It's clear the scriptwriter read something about tanks and though about the kind with guns and not the kind you store fluids in because this is *insanely dumb*. And most significantly, the bit about Teflon being DuPont's brand name for PFOA is another thing that could not be more wrong. PFOA is one of various surfactant chemicals that can be used in the production of Teflon, but it's not Teflon. This is like saying gasoline is just another name for sulfuric acid, because you can use sulfuric acid in the production of gasoline. This whole speech makes it sound like your pans are coated with PFOA. I'm not sure this is because the people making the film thought the audience would be too dumb to understand the difference, or because the people making the film were too dumb to understand the difference; the bit about waterproof coatings for tanks in WWII makes me lean towards the latter. There's another bit in the movie where they describe PFOA's structure and make it sound like chaining carbon atoms together is inherently toxic and the more carbons you have the worse the molecule is. C8? Eight whole carbons? Oh, that's bound to be bad for you.

Argylle is a dumb movie where the villains' plan is just incredibly stupid. Their top agent betrays them but then they get them back except they have amnesia. Instead of just trying to rebuild the agent's memory they create a whole fake life and send them out and just hope they'll write a book about what they need to know.

Was the new Roadhouse a remake, or a sequel of some kind? Was it one of those things where it's kind of the same thing but it's like the pain-don't-hurt guy's son? edit: I know that comma is grammatically superfluous but I feel like it needs to be there.

It's a remake that sadly doesn't take part in the same amazing reality of world-famous warrior-poet bouncers as the first one.

Ghost Leviathan posted:That's a whole Thing in westerns, including the original Django iirc. One that really didn't get examined as much as it shoulda been. Django was a Union guy and the bad guys were ex-Confederates (and a Mexican gang, ofc, which is a whole other thing in the genre). Spaghetti westerns seemed to split 50/50 between bad guys or the hero being former Confederates. Wanted (1967) with Giuliano Gemma is a pretty gross one where the Southron hero is just so honorable and the mean Northerners are so unfair, left a bad taste in my mouth. Another Gemma flick from 1969, The Price of Power, translates the JFK assassination to a fictionalized killing of President Garfield on a visit to Dallas and explores post-Civil War politics with an obvious parallel in the 1960s.

I think the only "hero" Confederate movie that I've ever seen was "The Outlaw Josey Wales", mainly because the yankees decided to be complete assholes to the surrendering soldiers and he just wanted to gently caress off and live with his Indian friend, his rock candy, and his wife.

^^^They made three of them!Carthag Tuek posted:is that the game where one of the bosses is made from quicksilver/mercury but still has bouncy boobs? That's Dural from the Virtua Fighter games. Dead Or Alive does feature clones of the ninja girl, but I believe those are translucent instead of metallic. I think the lore behind Dural is that she is the mother of ninja fighter Kage-Maru that has been experimented on by some dark corperation. I guess those just love organizing fight tournaments and messing around with ninjas.
