@TNG_S8:

Ghosts of long-dead crewmen harass Troi. Riker's fight with a lizard alien turns romantic, leading to sensual massaging and heavy petting.

Picard must relax for a week while his new heart is delivered. GEORDI AND WORF CONTRACT A RARE SCREAMING DISEASE.

Emotional awareness threatens the collective after the Borg assimilate Troi. Geordi & Data's elaborate musical numbers upset Worf.

Worf unwillingly participates in his niece's coming-of-age human hunt. Riker has misplaced his chest comb and it's getting bad.

The party discovers a strange portal to a wondrous realm exactly like Star Wars with some names changed around. However, it is only after they pass through the cursed, one-way portal that they realize it is the prequel era and the only adventure they can have involves maneuvering in the galactic senate to gain the votes needed for trade sanctions.

re-watching battlefield earth

possibly the worst offender of the orange blue contrast thingy i've ever seen and every other scene is canted at least six or seven degrees left or right usually a lot more

if you ever re-watch it (not recommended) and the aliens are watching their closed-circuit security cameras, tilt your head to compensate for the camera tilt and you can see that not only is the camera tilted but THE IN-MOVIE SECURITY CAMERAS ARE ALSO TILTED

it's camera tilts all the way down

For 3 human days, Johnny had been on the scary side of the moon, where the danger-aliens were known to roam. He opened his space-backpack to do an inventory:

One sleep-blanket
A flask-holder of liquid water
Four holder-containers of nutrition-food.

Through his vision-glasses, Johnny saw a colony of danger-aliens and feared they might catch the scent of his nutrition-food.

The danger aliens were out on patrol-patrol, hunting for nutrition-food. Johnny thought with his mind-brain, "I must bury the nutrition-food. I MUST bury the nutrition-food.

sci fi fact:

yes the good cut of aliens was released in '92. what they don't tell you is that it was only available for like a year and only in the uk. fox then sat on it for seven loving years before releasing it again. same with the widescreen release of alien.

it's like old video games or something. i don't get it. why did distribution execs always go out of their way to find new, creative ways to be assholes? like goddamn they didn't even get any money out of doing that.

it's not even new or creative: it's literally the "disney vault" concept only with less competence

quote:

World War Zombie… I always wanted to read Hackett's The Third World War but never got around to it. Consciously or unconsciously, World War Z seems to be modeled after it, except instead of being written by a general with extensive knowledge of the subject it is written by the nerdy son of a crass Jewish comedian, who researched his comic-book-minus-pictures by playing tourist on daddy's dime. Max Brooks is a "citizen of the world" much like typhus is a "citizen of nature".

But as pulse of the culture the apocalyptic fantasy is worth tracking. Much as the surfeit of devil and demon possession movies in the 70s seemed to be a reaction to growing amorality and a fear of religion's withdrawal (really expulsion) from everyday life, these visions of mass doom betray the preoccupations of at least a portion of the public. While the original living dead movies echoed cold war insecurity and nuclear paranoia, the new wave focuses on aggression, violence, and personal survival. Of course the hero will give lip service to the idea of humanity coming together, but the story's conceit always betrays it. Saving humanity is merely a tacked on justification for the frisson of watching millions or billions of people dying while feeling nothing (or feeling thrills of excitement, although nothing in the trailers looks very exciting--more like Transformers Z).

Of course part of the reason we feel a thrill is that we have been shielded from misery on a large scale, or even a small scale. It's all abstract, like a porn fantasy. The trailer to WWZ is filled with huge scale massacres, but there is no human element, it is all an empty CGI cartoon. As people leap to their death to get on a helicopter that is taking off one feels nothing. Compare this to shots of people leaping from the World Trade Center buildings. In the latter, one is forced to reflect on the meaning of life, in the former there is no reflection, it is on to the next exaggerated thrill. The movie must keep masturbating.
