What happens to the Organic Mechanic, anyway? Rewatched it the other day and it occurred to me that the guy just disappears after the scene with Angharad. Much like Miss Giddy, come to think of it, but at least we have a deleted scene for her.

Until I rewatched it on New Years' I never realized how much mileage they're getting out of those bolt cutters. Halfway comment from one of the folks I introduced to the film (who predictably loved it): "So far the message I'm getting is 'don't let girls join your gang or they'll ruin everything'."

freebooter posted:I think it was when I was watching Citizen Kane (or maybe something else from the '40s or '50s) when I realised how jarringly inappropriate so much of the soundtrack is for old films; as though the director and the soundtrack guy weren't in communication at all. And then I realised that was probably a hangover from the days when films were silent and there was an actual band or orchestra present in the theatre, and the conductor would just play what he felt like.

Was watching Top Gear last night and felt more and more like while god knows Clarkson, May and Hammond aren't actors, they deserve a cameo of some sort. It helped my impression along immensely that it was the one where they cross some African salt flats in cars stripped to the bare frame, that Clarkson kept finding cow skulls and strapping them to his hood and referred to himself as "Mad Jeremy", and that the vice president of Botswana paid them a visit with an entourage of ATVs and a motorized hangglider. I'm picturing a vehicle that's carrying a chintz sofa for no good reason and goes violently and immediately off course and over a cliff as soon as it gets involved in any serious action. Also, "the Pedantic Mechanic." Seriously though I feel like aerial vehicles are kind of an unexplored direction here.

HUNDU THE BEAST GOD posted:Well yeah, that's what many if not most post-apocalypse movies imagine nowadays. Post-apocalypse may as well mean "a first world country becoming a third world country", once you get past the post-WW2 anxiety about being firebombed and/or surprise attacked. Now the anxiety is about being freed from responsibility while also being socially dominated. This is why you get so many of these post-apoc movies about how lovely it is to be a woman in a cruel world or to be a subsistence farmer to live on a reservation or what have you.

HUNDU THE BEAST GOD posted:I haven't seen it since it came out and didn't think much of it. I wonder how it would come across now? And yeah I'm pretty sure I'll watch each of the MCU movies once and thoroughly enjoy them, but I don't feel like I have to be first in line for the midnight release. And the keyword is once. I watched Avengers a second time and got terribly embarrassed.

Snak posted:I have the Cloud Atlas book, but I haven't read it yet. I feel like I'm gonna like the narrative framework of the movie a lot more. I liked Cloud Atlas but I kept feeling like it was building towards some kind of revelation or plot twist that tied all the stories together in a larger, or maybe just more explicit, way, and that just failed to happen which left me wondering vaguely what the point was.

Nah, they're a male-dominated society. You wanna make it as a woman, you have to be a man. There's room for an imperator who happens to be a woman, but there certainly isn't room for the concept of an Imperatrix.

Whoever said George Miller was basically making silent movies was spot on. I'm making my way through the first three Mad Max movies for the first time after finding a ridiculously cheap box set and Road Warrior needs what little dialogue it has even less than Fury Road does. My only weird complaint is that it feels wrong to watch these in crisp DVD quality on a huge flatscreen with the expectation of "I'm finally watching Mad Max!" They belong on lovely tiny tubes in the middle of the night where you happened to catch it ten minutes in and don't know what you're watching but by god you're getting hooked.

Eh, still looks like a bit of fiddling with the brightness, contrast and gamma will at least get you most of the way there. Don't have a copy of Fury Road handy to test it out, but on a sidenote, the intro to Ghostbusters is pretty good in b/w.

All games with the bullshit collectible/currency/upgrade loop should feature New Game+ by law. Bad enough to have to go through it once.
