Stop Skeletons From Fighting released a video today about the silly and ridiculous Dreamcast accessories! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s_qxOR-QR0E I've also been enjoying this channel that goes through Virtual Boy, NES, SNES, and Game Boy games (probably more that I missed). Here's one I recommend, a thorough look of VB's Jack Bros! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EUl0VbjZWWY

Neo_Crimson posted:Having a distinction at all, especially when you call it "cinema" or "high art" is making it a qualitative hierarchy. It's incredibly disengenuous to say otherwise. High art and cinema can be as poo poo as the lousiest blockbuster. Or worse. And it's all in the eye of the beholder anyway. Someone might try to convince you that their installation piece of Donald Trump's face that's made entirely out of their own faeces is high art even when it's clearly a load of bollocks that also stinks. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hVcjeAByzaQ

Street Fighter may be a great hammy movie, but it'll never be able to overtake the love that I have for the first Mortal Kombat movie, which also gave us an amazingly cheesy MK-themed album by Praga Khan.

He says they aren't "cinema of human beings trying to convey emotional, psychological experiences to another human being.”! Which is objectively correct! The vast majority of MCU movies are carnival products

Solar Tornado posted:Is Jesus a superhero? Jesus Christ: Vampire Hunter most certainly was. Yardbomb posted:I mean Not really. We give blockbuster MCU movies passes on lots of elements because they're big tentpole action movies, not art-house movies (or even your standard mid-budget non-action movies). If a critic reviewed Avengers Endgame like A Ghost Story (or vice-versa) we'd roll our eyes and accuse them of Armond White-level trolling. Marvel has nearly perfected the craft of this action blockbuster, at least for the current audience tastes; in 20 years these movies will be remembered for their cultural and financial impact more than any contributions to cinema. And there's nothing wrong with either, just that we're using the same language and space for incredibly different things. This doesn't mean that all superhero movies are like that, but for the 95% that are we're judging them on craft more than art; do they follow the basic action superhero template and pacing to be enjoyable to the viewer. I would have preferred his remarks to be how these movies are suffocating other films from being financed, made and showcased, over their status as "cinema", but it's an important conversation.

stillvisions posted:Jesus Christ: Vampire Hunter most certainly was. yea if the end result of this convo was 'we should judge Marvel and other big blockbuster popcorn flicks on the same standard as we judge other movies' I'd respect it a lot more but none of these MovieBob types on Twitter getting upset over this want to sit down and actually listen to critiques of, say, the storytelling in Endgame which is dogshit, or the characterization in Captain America which can be boiled down to 'the lead guy, his girl, and a whole bunch of meat to be fed into the War Movie Machine' or whatever. That's how the system works, we accept that these big tentpole action franchises are dumb and not always well written but that's fine because they're cool to watch and sometimes have a genuinely good scene that makes you go 'yea ok that was good poo poo' and Marvel has turned getting those scenes into a science. That's fine, I LIKE Marvel movies, I like going to a theater with friends, just kinda relaxing and watching pretty colors and quippy hunks do flips. There's nothing BAD there, there's nothing 'low class', it's just different, and that's all that's being said.

Yardbomb posted:“People who are upset by Scorsese’s comments should ask themselves why they’re so upset by them, and whether their response, in its own way, proves his point.” For what it's worth, I saw something on how Scorsese or Coppola (I forget which) was actually pretty keen on Into the Spiderverse, and I would chalk that up more to Into the Spiderverse (which I've not actually seen) not being tied to the MCU, and having the freedom or flexibility to be more creative. EDIT: It was Coppola. Comic Book Resource | Francis Ford Coppola Has A Surprising Opinion of Into the Spider-Verse posted:Despite recently calling Marvel Studios movies "despicable," acclaimed director Francis Ford Coppola actually enjoyed 2018's animated feature Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, according to one of the film's directors.

Edit edit: Since we're on the subject a friend of mine nearly managed to finish the video by watching it in stages over three days. I checked out after five minutes, and he was telling me about how there's an advert for an album you can purchase of his parodies of The Wall, and he describes as a "Love letter" to The Wall. Oh and there's a bit that seems to address the Change the Channel controversy sort of, and at the end there's a skit about the song the Trial but with random CG animal things.

Doctor Strange actually has a LOT of Isekai tropes and themes backed in it; but this gets into "Alice in Wonderland is actually an Isekai didn't you know?" which gets us into discussing Joseph Cambell's the Hero of a Thousand Faces and so on. A manga I heartily recommend is Watamote, or "It's not my fault I'm not popular!" it had a very cringe anime that struck a lot of people as a little uncomfortably too close to home. However past the runtime of the anime mercifully Tomoko goes on a school trip, is forced to socialize with some people and gradually forms a support network of actually some really close friends and basically features on of the best examples of gradual, subtle, realistic, character growth in manga as Tomoko gradually ceases her proto-incel ways. If you dropped it early in its manga run, or during the anime run, I'd suggest taking it up again, it is REALLY worth it. For best effect just rewatch the anime skipping through whenever the cringe gets unbearably bad and is causing you physical pain. Then after it skip to that approximate part of the manga and continue on, it starts to ease off pretty much immediately when Tomoko gets a new homeroom teacher who actually, *gasps* notices Tomoko's state of ennui/suffering and intervenes. An adult taking responsibility and acting as a good role model? In my highschool manga? Unthinkable!
