This is the only time I will ever say this about any film, ever: Hancock would have been better with more focus on Jason Bateman's character.

Edge of Tomorrow was good, but the ending was a bullshit cop-out.

Vincent posted:Edge of Tomorrow was good, but the ending was a bullshit cop-out. I mean, sure, but on the other hand, I don't mind my fun action movies ending like that. Having a character march knowingly off to their death and then being rewarded with a second chance gives me the warm tinglies, no matter how Hollywood Bullshit it is. Reminded me of Stranger Than Fiction in a lot of ways.

Jay Dub posted:It was even originally written that way, wasn't it? I think so yea, he was a proper secondary character rather than just a dude who kinda is there. edit: wow, looking it up on wikipedia: quote:The new director compared the original script's tone to Leaving Las Vegas (1995), calling it "a scathing character study of this suicidal alcoholic superhero". The director explained the rewrite, "We thought the idea was cool, but we did want to lighten it up. We all did."[21] Before filming began, Tonight, He Comes was retitled John Hancock,[2] and it was eventually shortened to Hancock.[22] How loving great would Leaving Las Vegas: But With Super Powers be? sexpig by night fucked around with this message at 22:02 on Jul 10, 2014 |

Uncle Boogeyman posted:Today I got up early, worked out, went for a long walk, opened a new savings account, set up a new budget plan, swung by the hardware store, learned how to patch my own flat bike tire, and bought Leprosy by Death on vinyl. Now I'm thinkin of picking up a new mic cable and working some more on the music project I started recording last week. I was about to be all "Hell yeah I'm seeing Death on Saturday" but then I realized you're talking about metal Death and I'm seeing protopunk Death.

I mean like you have this character who goes from self-serving slick executive to ends up having to sacrifice himself over and over again in order to win the war and finally who has to sacrifice himself anonymously in order to save mankind. But then nope! everyone lives! yay! I don't care about how magic alien blood works.

I think the point of his arc was he was WILLING to make his anonymous sacrifice that was his journey, I think once that's established they're allowed to give him a reward of a happier ending. My issue was when happy endings don't feel earned, and I don't think that was the case here.

Uncle Boogeyman posted:God this song rules. I'd only heard the Melvins version, but this version is good too. The Melvins didn't just like Kiss enough to cover Going Blind, they also did a series of solo EPs like KISS, with matching album art to boot. Dave Grohl played drums for Buzzo's EP, too. Rooney McNibnug posted:Practically any other title would be more apt than "Wild Child" for something that sounds that boring. This song is rad. The Thing is playing this weekend, but my mom and 14-year-old brother are visiting town. I wonder if my mom will let me take my brother to an R-rated movie. Probably.

I'd forgotten how good the Ace Frehley solo is on that song. This one is the best song on that album though, and maybe my favorite Kiss song ever. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n4ji-LXHZt4 God drat that's a good performance too. I promise I'll stop posting about Kiss now .

I've posted drunk, high, on shrooms, on doses of Adderall that would kill a bull elephant, blacked out on klonopin (much to my embarrassment), and on painkillers. I mean, other than "high" the rest of those have only happened once or twice, but I think about a third of my SA posts have been made stoned out of my gourd.

The trick is not writing "I'm drunk", or any variation there of, in the post. Which is actually a lot harder than it sounds.
