Chitin posted:The Ugandan film industry is super fascinating from the perspective of someone who works in the American film industry. They shoot feature films for a few hundred dollars, and they do it in a few weeks. They churn them out like comic books, so they're often highly topical. It's a really different and cool way of doing things. Feature films on a South Park cadence, awesome.

I commend you on your understanding of the subject, your general handsomeness, and your years-long legacy of fighting for the best in humanity, you piece of poo poo. Looks like someone woke up on the tsundere side of the bed this morning.

There's one dedicated to identifying movies based on faint memories which can be alarmingly quick and accurate, the movie posters thread is always a pretty solid read, and every month or so I'll get caught up with this little thread called "Shameless," in which posters work through their bucket lists of classic films that they haven't yet seen. I don't wade in any deeper than that, really.

We used to have a lot of porn threads in PYF and goons would post something like "Help me find the one with the redhead who had a mole on her butt" and before the post could even be finished someone said "Gotcha: It's flaming redheads volume 2, here's some tube links, this is the girls name, her bio and a PO box you can send her favorite candies too. It's pixie sticks by the way." You think it's alarming someone can remember a movie? Brother some of the vague porn descriptions given followed up by someone finding the exact video within 30 seconds? That poo poo was downright weird.

A porn actress with a mole on her butt is immediately recognizable but a famous, household name, mainstream actress with a mole on her face is an unknowable trickster goddess who can assume many forms.

What he said wasn't that weird, dude. It was pointed out to him that these films are made in an absurdly short amount of time, and he was drawing comparison to an American thing with an insanely short turnaround time in production.

mind the walrus posted:No one with a brain has a problem with what SMG actually says or thinks, but it's all about how he goes about it. At best you can claim he's some genius troll/puppetmaster, but the truth is a bit sadder--he's a really intelligent, arrogant autistic dude with a special interest in cinema and exceptionally poor social flexibility. That rigidity makes him really enjoyable to read from afar, but if you take the subjects he discusses even a little seriously--or god forbid try to engage him on a topic--you will have a bad, bad time. Quite true. SMG's initial posts on a subject are usually very insightful analysis, even though I usually disagree with his assessment of how these insights impact a film's quality. But when people start arguing with him, it very quickly becomes an insufferable wall of text to scroll past. Content: CommonShore posted:I clearly remember being impressed the first time I saw a computer which could function without having to insert and swap floppy discs, and I have vague memories of being impressed the first time I saw a computer which could handle two 5 1/4 floppies at once.

I think he's a pox on CD, personally, because there's always a subset of goons looking for a unique voice of authority to do a lousy job aping, and Dollar General brand Zizek is an especially obnoxious flavor, but he held his own in FYAD when he was trapped there for a while, and goddamit I gotta respect that.

I'm pretty loving sure the director didn't have people yelling "EBOLA! EBOLA! I HAVE EBOLA!" and spitting and clicking at people in his movie though, thanks gamers. The Ebola bit is actually from some of their other videos. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9NhChAuGIXY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5JkJAiuqg_g Featuring EBOLA HUNTER
