Vargo posted:I can maybe see this logic with actors, producers and (some) d.p.s who have other options and can afford to choose whether or not to do a project with someone that makes them uncomfortable, but on every production there's like three times as many working-class union crew members who live job to job for whom personal compromises are necessary to keep their jobs and produce a steady paycheck. I'm pretty sure those people don't get residuals from DVD sales, though. If I'm wrong, feel free to correct me, but my understanding is that the only people who continue to make money off a movie after it's wrapped are producers/investors, less often directors, and even less often than that, actors.

Hey, people who are into weird poo poo, I'm looking for other stuff in the Japanese underground cyberpunk movement from the late 80s and early 90s. I already have the first two Tetsuo movies, Tokyo Fist, 964 Pinocchio/Rubber's Lover, and Death Powder, but it kind of looks like that's all there is. e: Well, other than Akira and Genocyber, but the way those two approach the aesthetic is (obviously) a fair bit different. I'm more looking for the ultra-lo-fi surreal horror stuff like what I mentioned.

I'm aware of those three and they all own. I'm just looking for more stuff in that specific movement, if it exists (there's a really specific aesthetic there that I want to study further). Burst City and The Phantom of Regular Size are the only two I can find that I haven't at least acquired yet.

Wow. I really do have everything in that movement other than Burst City.  (I'm not counting the second movement that started with Electric Dragon and also includes Meatball Machine, Hellevator, Tokyo Gore Police, etc- it's a related aesthetic, but kind of a different one, really.)

Also over the forums-downtime I ended up reading Johnny the Homicidal Maniac because I wanted to laugh derisively at cringeworthy 90s bullshit (plus the art is pretty good) and... it wasn't bad?  Like, did my taste in things suddenly get really terrible, or does that comic just get a really unfair rap because of the idiots who latched on to it?

I was going to play devil's advocate with JTHM and people liking Johnny too much (I felt like JCV was trying to get across that he's an irredeemable monster but kind of failed and made him pretty sympathetic), but it's actually really hard to get a coherent read on the character in any direction because of how inconsistently he's written. The comic can't decide whether he's Literally Jeffery Dahmer, a tortured yet ultimately good person, or a smug rear end who thinks he's always the smartest guy in the room (when he typically isn't), and so it just kind of bounces between all three.

If you don't have your PSP modded for SNES games on the go, you're doing it wrong. Also if you're not playing Peace Walker on the HD collection you're doing it double-wrong.  Also I don't get why everyone shits on Ground Zeroes for being short, it's a budget game that's basically a supersized demo for the real MGSV. Pretty sure it being short was kind of a given.

To expand on that a bit, I've found out that a lot of the Spawn video games are actually not bad at all (there's like one straight-up bad one out of six, which is a crazy batting average for such a lovely license) and I kinda want to LP as many of them as I can. The problem with this is, my knowledge of Spawn lore pretty much boils down to half-remembered poo poo from the HBO show and the movie, and the ones I've played so far explain pretty much jack poo poo. The SNES game has you fight Overt-Kill in the first boss fight and literally doesn't even tell you his name until the rematch, so if you don't know who he is it's just some random cyborg guy out of nowhere who hits you really hard. So I want someone who's read the comics to co-commentate and hopefully explain what in the hell is going on so I don't have to say "because reasons," "because 90s comics" and "because gently caress you that's why" every time I try to fill in some of the gaps these games are leaving.

MoaM posted:And on a completely unrelated note, is there any reason that I shouldn't watch the "Assembly Cut" of Alien 3? It seems like if all it does is *add* scenes, it shouldn't hurt. It adds something like 40 minutes of scenes. They make the movie less dumb, to be sure, but at the same time a lot of the effects are really rough if I remember correctly, and it's kinda overly long (one of the few things I really liked about the theatrical cut is that it doesn't overstay its welcome).

It's kinda funny how Near Dark is pretty much an Aliens supporting cast reunion. e: Apparently someone told Adrian Pasdar that vampires perpetually act like they're zonked out on Xanax. e2: I'm starting to remember why I love Bill Paxton.

Why do documentaries about creepy things always kid-glove the hell out of their subjects? I watched this NatGeo documentary on Russian brides last night because I wanted to cringe, and even though all of the dudes it depicts are giant loving goonlords who do their best to dig their own graves, it only pays the barest of lip service to how hosed up the whole thing is and otherwise treats it as ~the cutest thing ever, gigglesquee!~. Like, there's about 5 minutes of talking about how the reason why people do this is because they're huge misogynists who want a submissive wife they can abuse/murder, and 45 of "oh look at this guy and his imported third-world wife! Aren't they adorable even though he's a massive goonlord and she looks like she would chew her leg off to get away from him if she had to?" From what I hear every brony documentary that's been made is also pretty much the same: all "oh it's so cool that they're redefining masculinity!" no "oh my god they made loving pony fleshlights  " even though the latter is way more representative of the Brony Experience.

I'm just wondering what the hell would possess someone to make a documentary about something that is 99% bad, and focus on the tiny little sliver of it that's good instead of the vast majority of it that's bad.
