FilthyImp posted:Oliver and Company was the one film I spent all my childhood wanting to find because it was everywhere when I was a kid and I never got a chance to watch it in theatres. I re-watched Oliver and Company circa 2012 and was startled to discover Billy Joel voiced Dodger (singing street dog).

Big Mad Drongo posted:the later Wizardries are about chasing an evil space man and feature two galactic empires as neutral factions. The DARK SAVANT! I was too young to have played the earlier Wizardies but god drat did I love 8. The manual had a bit about how the Dark Savant is threatening the universe and, the manual writer supposed, he went by that name to differentiate himself from any Green or Neon Purple Savants running around. Also after you recruited the bard character if you typed Backstreet Boys into his dialogue prompt box he would throw mad shade. Fun, funny, all around excellent game.

Also holy poo poo I have been absently trying to remember the name of that sitcom for years, it was my absolute favorite. And I've learned John Leguizamo was not in fact Uncle Eddie. Thanks goons!

I think we're all on the same side here, and this thread isn't the place to break that side down further. re: Arrested Development, I was actually just thinking of the Steve Holt/Shemale shirt subplot the other day and ugh I couldn't believe they thought that deserved a callback.

PHIZ KALIFA posted:The True Fae in Lost can only exist in the context of stories told to them through the experiences of the mortals they keep. They need their mortals as a source of drama and conflict, because without constant distraction and engagement the True Fae weaken and perish. Despite being beings of sheer emotion and sensation, the Fae cannot feel anything, and must absorb the impact of the actions in the stories via their mortal proxies. The Fae might not even be the main characters in their stories, they just as often play supporting roles or even act as macguffans or the setting itself.

Greatest movie I'd seen in my life to that point.

zakharov posted:Yes a page full of people who agree that BNL are some of the great songwriters of our time. I saw Steven solo in 2019 while he was promoting Discipline (fantastic album) and he's still amazing. He played War on Drugs, which caught me off guard and is a song that has resonated with me in a very powerful, painful way for the entire fifteen years since it came out. It puts a lot of my own demons into words in a way nobody/nothing else has ever been able to, including myself, and I cried through the whole thing. After the show I told him this and he said very gravely, "Well, I'm glad you had such a nice time." The guy owns. He seems happier these days and I'm really glad for it.

MNIMWA posted:Just read the synopsis of that episode: https://how-i-met-your-mother.fandom.com/wiki/Perfect_Week You seriously buried the lede here I am just going to quote the entire thing because I am floored by how many disgusting misogynistic details there are in here. Seriously just stunned. quote:Future Ted starts off by explaining that Barney's way of dealing with stress was imagining he was being interviewed by sportscaster Jim Nantz, who listed Barney's many accomplishments with women. Barney explains that it all started a week ago, when he issued himself a challenge. At MacLaren's, he "called his shot," pointing out a woman at the bar and saying she'd be the one he'd go home with that night. Thus began his attempt at a "perfect week," defined as having sex with seven women in seven days without a single rejection.

GoutPatrol posted:Not really. After Buffy goes to UPN he goes more hands off and Marti Noxon becomes show runner. With the exception of the musical (which has Whedon's fingerprints all over) seasons 6-7 are seen as a decline. I only watched the show once and it was back in the early 00s, but I had to check and make sure one particular episode wasn't one of the listed ones (I did not recall the episode name). I remember "Normal Again" (Buffy is a regular young woman and in a psychiatric ward for her "delusions") as being one of the least feminist things I've ever seen. It really grossed me out then and still does now. That and the "Spike loves her so much he tries to rape her in her bathroom" episode are both pretty high ranking on the list of things that were blatantly not "feminism" even at the time. I've never rewatched it and still never intend to rewatch it due to the taste both of those episodes left in my mouth. I don't know how hands off "hands off" means exactly but I don't think that anybody who truly cared about young women and providing them a strong character to look up to would have allowed an episode that absolutely annihilates the young heroine's sense of agency like that* to air. To be completely clear, my Google shows me "Normal Again" wasn't one that he wrote. I didn't check for the Spike one. It is however an episode that is apparently a enormous touchstone for the online Buffy community and that tells me what I need to know about those people too. *this sentence is specifically referring to "Normal Again", but it's fun that it basically applies to both the things in this post, no?

It's not misogyny the way you're thinking of it. I was watching it as a young woman and the message it was selling was that a young woman isn't actually capable of being strong and smart and powerful. She's in denial and crazy.

800peepee51doodoo posted:"Strong" doesn't, or shouldn't, mean powerful or influential even. To me, it means a character with a strong sense of self and will to actualize their goals. Yeah following up on my somewhat unfocused one am post lol, this is what I meant by "Normal Again" being a gross episode. Buffy is arguably defined by that strong sense of self/ability to actualize her goals more than her physical strength. That is what I'm talking about when I say she's powerful. That episode took away that sense of self and ability to overcome terrible hardship in a pointless, incredibly exploitative way.
