That new Zelda game might be fun, but nothing they have shown from it is remotely interesting or worth getting worked up over.

Solice Kirsk posted:Mt unpopular opinion is that I don't think Fury Road is very feminist at all. It's not really trying to make any bold political statements as far as I can tell. I think dumb internet writers really just ran with the "Miller consulted the vagina monologues lady" thing and ran it into the ground. I think he didn't want the whole "saving sex slaves" aspect to be offensive. Which they did end up handling pretty well.

My consensus is that it's exhausting how much ideological discussion people think they need to have over dumb pop culture stuff. Arguing about this poo poo has become as much a form of escapism as the media itself.

yeah I eat rear end posted:This is getting kind of silly. All I was saying is that the federation in star trek and the jedi in star wars are pretty lame and hamstring themselves intentionally to avoid being too militaristic, whereas Stargate doesn't - the stargate program from the beginning (and aside from the brief times it was under government control) a military program with military goals. I really don't care to argue about why it is better, my opinion is that it just makes for a better show. The political and diplomatic parts of star trek and star wars (i.e. the prequels) bore me to tears. Just blow something up. Star Wars has really cool looking poo poo, is fun and you can watch it in a a couple of hours per movie. Star Gate Sg1 is a low rent Scy Fy show for uber nerds that no one with any taste is going to bother watching in the first place. That why Star Wars "gets all the sequels" whatever that means.

Aphrodite posted:...Which one of those do you think is not low rent?  yeah seriously. That show looked junky as poo poo from day. Comparing Stargate to Star Wars is super dumb in the first place. One of them was some 90's movie that got a TV show spin off that was niche as hell and ran for like 10 years. The other is a series of movies that is super accessible with a lot of mainstream appeal. They also have very little in common. It's like saying "I don't get why they made so many Harry Potter movies when Law and Order is so much more believable"

I don't think he understands how unappealing stuff like Star Trek, Stargate, babylon 5, Farscape etc. is to the average person, because people that actually like those shows live in a bubble of people that actually watch them. That said I'm sure Stargate (just the movie) is ripe for a reboot and you will get your wish soon enough. JJ Abrams presents Stargate can't be more than 2 years off.

I'm not actually calling it bad. I've seen a total of maybe 2 episodes of it. It's not the type of thing I would ever devote time to penetrating, but it may very well be good if you are. I'm just saying it's junky looking and unnapealing on an aestetic level. I think you might be misjudging why Star Trek has the appeal it does. It's just familiarity. Not that many people actually want to watch 500 episodes of star trek but they know the characters and that's enough to warrant a movie. It's the same with comic books. Not that many people actually read the comics but we all know who batman and the xmen are etc. so they have a lot of mainstream appeal. 200 episodes of SG1 that your mom watched is not a selling point for making summer Blockbusters.

I've always though Sci fi was best packaged as a small intimate story that happens to take place in a sci fi setting. Almost all of my favorite sci fi is one movie or one book. Shows that try to tell a grand story over years about about that are incredibly unappealing to me. That's my personal unpopular opinion. Also, related unpopular opinion. I hate "world building" and prefer to call it bloat. Also, bad production values are pretty inexcusable in Sci-FI. If it's not interesting to look at it's not worth my time. I'm not saying it has to be big budget, but those network/cable sci fi shows from the 90's are the direct result of bad taste. veni veni veni has a new favorite as of 19:44 on Dec 16, 2016 |

Grandmother of Five posted:sci-fi and fantasy should be considered settings, not genres. that goes for other genres that only define the setting and not the narrative; like westerns and other period pieces. these genres are often and rightfully considered trashy because great literature transcends their setting instead of being defined by it. Definetly agree with this. I enjoy both as a setting. Sci fi I enjoy probably more than any other setting. I'd much rather watch something like Alien or Moon or Blade Runner or Mad Max etc. than some drawn out info dump. All of those stories stand on their own but use sci fi to elevate them. A lot of sci fi and fantasy confuses tmi with being good.

Music right now is the worst it's been since the late 90's. Pop and EDM dumber than they have ever been, and most of the indie stuff coming out is either gimmicky stuff where people are throwing poo poo at the wall to see what sticks, or so derivative it's hard to take seriously. Down the road I think this will be looked at as one of the most embarrassing and forgettable decades for music. There's obvious exceptions but the sheer amount of interesting artists seems to be at a record low.

I think some decades are worse than others. At least parts of decades. Either people run out of ideas or something truly terrible snowballs into popularity. there will always be a handful of interesting stuff happening in music. But 1996-2001 was a loving dark age with an incredibly disproportionate amount of bad music being made. Right now is the worst it has been since then.

WampaLord posted:"Music was only good when I was the proper age for it" is a pretty popular opinion. That's not what I said though. I was a teenager in the late 90's and I've always hated that era. 2010ish and beyond has been the worst since then for a bunch of reasons. To some degree it's probably me getting old though.

Jerry Cotton posted:You just had/have a very narrow cultural scope. Not really. From like 1996-2001 there was abnormally large amount of poo poo music being made and not a whole lot stuff that holds up. I'm not claiming it was totally devoid of anything good but it was a pretty bad little era for music. I'd like to hear what you would consider really good from that era. There was some good post hardcore stuff, some allright but mostly forgettable hip hop...most other decent stuff that came out around then were artists established in the early 90s or before. Not a whole lot of new good stuff happening in that era imao.

I only see a lot of movies in theaters because I get dragged to them and because I'm impatient. If every movie was on demand day 1 I'd never set foot in a theater again. They should start doing big movies like PPV boxing events. Charge like $50 to see Rogue One at home opening night. Just get like 5 friends to chip in $10 and no one has to drive to some dirty theater to see it.
