Raxivace posted:The nerd rage at Last Jedi is just bizarre to me, especially since its the only of the Disney Star Wars I particularly like. Its just that people were setup to dislike it and whenever nerds want to dislike something they turn movies into logic problems where every "plot hole" somehow means the film failed.

Saint Freak posted:Heh, you mean to tell that bottle caps were locked in this safe...that was locked before they were even used as currency?! NICE TRY BEFAILSDA I carry the firm belief that all bad nerd criticism can ultimately be traced by to Joseph Campbell's A Hero With a Thousand Faces. That book ruined our society, and we are now forever cursed by things like TV Tropes, CinemaSins, and anybody who mentions the hero's journey after playing a video game or watching a movie or reading a book.

exquisite tea posted:The Hero's Journey is a good touchstone for discussing video game narratives since so many of them fall neatly into the Campbellian monomyth structure but it's not like you score +100 ownzone points for pointing this out. Yeah, I am not saying "leave this out of all discussion" because clearly a ton of writers use it (which they shouldn't, its trash), but its just one of those things I feel like since people have a vague idea of, like tropes or plot holes, that they think it turns them into narrative wizards. Narrative Wizards sounds like a good title for something, but I have no idea what.

exquisite tea posted:You misunderstand me. People should use the Hero's Journey as a framing device where appropriate because there's nothing wrong with it and it's a good way to tell a story. Not the only way, but a pretty enduring one that still manages to entertain. Oh sorry, I am bad at reading sometimes. I have no problem with the structure itself (well not anymore than other "narrative" structures) its more just the book cause its pop psychology applied to folklore and leaves out African and Asian myth and ignores women. But I guess really the structure is the only thing people take away from the book  At the very least its better than Saved the Cat!

Accordion Man posted:Hellboy is pretty cool though. Hellboy is fantastic. I mean speaking of folklore and myth, like that comic feels much more like reading folklore to me than Neil Gaiman's stuff or like things that are structured around the monomyth. Its like, abrupt (i can't think of a better word than this) in a way those other works are not, and it just makes it feel closer to those types of stories even though its more styled as a pulp style thing while the former present themselves are more mythic.

cheetah7071 posted:The first company to make an anime battle royale will successfully break into the market imo One time, when I was a teenager I played a game on BYOND that was based on Death Note. In theory, the guy with the Death Note was the only one who was really suppose to go out of his way to kill people, and you were only suppose to kill people when you think they are the death note guy, but in reality it just devolved into a free for all battle royale. Thank you for listening to my story.

The thing with the Battle Royale book and movie is both are very political, and you don't get that sense from most of the stuff that spawn off it. But yeah, the movie is legitimately one of my favorites and the book is pretty good too (despite the Bruce Springsteen references)

Peace Walker is actually my favorite after MGS2. This may be because when I fought the helicopter and the theme song started playing I ran out of ammunition for all my weapons and had to defeat it by chucking grenades and it was my greatest accomplishment in video games.

Honestly, the yell button in Disaster Report is a better use of a button than the pet button in most video games, cause in the beginning where you are being a waiter for a fancy party your boss will keep getting piss at you for yelling, and if you carry the dishes and hit the yell button the dude drops the dishes to bring his hands to his mouth and its the funniest poo poo ever.

My favorite thing about James Bond, is how much Bond fans hate Spectre. Of course they hate the film about Bond realizing how toxic his life is and ends with him choosing to live as a human instead of a archetypal weapon. But everyone predicted the Blofeld twist, so its bad. Despite the fact the point was less "hey this is a twist" and more "this guy is literally dehumanizing himself to become the very concept of a Bond villain" so that at the very end its more impactful. Not saying its like a really great movie or anything, but it had interesting things to say about Bond movies. I dunno everyone should just watch Man From UNCLE its like a really good spy movie.

man nurse posted:Spectre is decent. It’s no Casino Royale or Skyfall, hell I even liked Quantum a little better, but it’s a fairly middle of the road Bond film. Quantum is bad, but its like, a very interesting bad. I mean like Craig had to write sections of the script himself because of the Writer's Strike, and there is the bit where you can tell they edited out one of the cars in the beginning car chase. Its so weird. Also yeah Skyfall is goofy fun, and Casino Royale is def the best out of Craig's films still. I mean it has Mads, so of course it would be.

Phantasium posted:I don't think I've seen a single James Bond movie but I also don't want to either. This is probably the best decision you can make. Like, the only two I really still love are Goldeneye and Living Daylights because the female leads in those are either the real protagonist or share the role with Bond himself. e: and honestly I only really enjoy Goldeneye for the bits Bond and Alec banter with each other. I guess this means Living Daylights is the only good Bond film. Snooze Cruise fucked around with this message at 22:44 on Apr 16, 2018 |

If you watch it with someone, be aware that there are like some pretty long sex scenes if that is the type of thing that bothers you while watching movies with other people.

Mass Effect just didn't had any characters I wanted to be gay with and I just ended up hooking up with the scaley sniper alien.exquisite tea posted:Games tend to have a much longer runtime and thus more opportunities to present queer characters without it becoming a central element to the storyline. Lots of gay side characters in video games, very few unambiguously queer protagonists. Yeah, its the central element part that is key here. Like blockbusters want to sell in other countries, and my guess is like having a gay character loses you out on lot of money. But video games can throw a bone because they are more massive.
