Uncle Boogeyman posted:Heath Ledger skateboarding around the Dark Knight set in his joker getup was better That famous picture was actually photoshopped, but there's a few seconds of video of him riding it around. Unfortunately the video doesn't show much at all. This one (sorry, best I could find w/ both halves):

You say this as thought terms like bland, repetitive, stale and cliche are somehow ambiguous or obscure, but of course you know exactly what I'm referring to. Your only maneuver here is to try and pull the entire discussion into the brier patch of obtuse jargon that you rely on in all these discussions and arguments, and every time I sarcastically dismiss your attempts to escape down this route you try to make this dismissal into some kind of signifier of your superior taste in films. But of course you understand, as everyone does, exactly what kind of criticism I'm making. There's no need to elaborate in a dozen sentences something that can be stated in one or two, namely that the same handful of plot points, themes, images and even characters have been recycled yet again. I Before E posted:Helsing, you say that the "big bad laser thing" is an overused device, and I agree, not many Hollywood movies attempt to do as much with it as Mystery Men did with the Psychofrakulator back in 1999, but I think the way it's done in Suicide Squad, as a sort of whirling mushroom cloud of abstract machinery, is actually pretty interesting and helps reflect the bigger thematic criticism of the technocratic security state. The US government maintains global hegemony using machinery, so the government asset that turns against them creates this sort of abstract expression of Big Machine in the image of one of the greatest weapons of mass destruction of the 20th century. I submit that this imagery would be a great deal more compelling if it wasn't an almost mandatory feature of every big budget action flick of the last ten years, if not longer.

I'm pretty sure the kickflip photoshop originated here. Can't remember the theme of the thread.

That was the one I found. I bet he does a sweet kickflip right after he goes behind that concrete pillar.

There's no need to elaborate in a dozen sentences something that can be stated in one or two, namely that the same handful of plot points, themes, images and even characters have been recycled yet again. It's precisely because they're ambiguous or obscure that you can safely deploy them here. No specific part of the movie you actually deign to mention, like that there's a column of blue light or a bunch of faceless monsters, is actually particularly objectionable or damning. You might as well complain about troop transports showing up in a war movie or people going to dinner in a romance. All you end up communicating is that someone somewhere told you you weren't supposed to like the movie. What's bland, generic, and cliched here is your own posting!

There's just one more thing, Helsing... if using an oft-repeated narrative tool or plot element is bad, why is Columbo the greatest TV show of all time? That's the one thing I can't figure out...

A show where after Columbo accused a suspect he did a sweet powerbomb on them while quoting Zizek would be the hypest show in CineD.
