Last Jedi was pretty bad but it appeals to the types that like “subversion” for no real reason so I get that.

Mischalaniouse posted:It is actually the best movie in the Star Wars franchise. Nah it’s pretty bog standard. It pretends it isn’t but it’s still stuck in the same rut Star Wars has been stuck in since Empire. I would like a new and interesting Star Wars that takes some risks but I doubt we will ever get that.

Babysitter Super Sleuth posted:BotLs posts are at least entertaining in a way similar to the later updates of timecube, people straight up whining about his posting and jerking themselves raw in the thread whenever he gets prob'd is just tiresome and ugly. I feel the same way about his posts. There is nothing more tedious than his posts. Specifically as he only really has one gimmick and doesn’t do anything with it.

Pirate Jenny posted:This is just disingenuous - Contra's entire thread was trying to illustrate how so many of these alt-right personalities don't actually have an ideology and instead see themselves like performative pro wrestlers, and are utterly baffled that people on the left actually believe what they preach. It was not another thinkpiece from the NYT about "nazis go shopping for line caught ahi tuna sometimes too". That’s.....dumber. Turns out I gave her to much credit.

Puppy Time posted:This may be mindblowing, but people who subscribe to various ideologies can hold a variety of views and beliefs, some of which can be sensible and right, and some of which can be stupid and risible. Forbidding all mockery of these views just because the Other Side also mocks them is a really dumb idea. Yeah that’s the biggest problem with Contra she seems to think because their ideology isn’t consistent or well thought out means they aren’t sincere in belief which is loving dangerous. Plus it’s kind of playing into the whole holier than though leftist stereotype.

BigRed0427 posted:A couple friends of mine just showed me Stines Gate last night. We got about three episodes in and MAN I wished the whole "Time Travel is real" aspect was ripped out. Because then this would be a great slice of life show/Japanese version of Crying of Lot 49 but with a wannabe Rick Sanchez. Nah the slice of life makes you care but if it went to long it would get pretty grating. It’s dub is also amazing.

Yeah there is no way Lindsay is way better. Her stuff is fine but not all that great. I like the RLM stuff better with the exception of the weird rape poo poo which doesn’t serve a purpose. Just makes poo poo uncomfortable.

DEEP STATE PLOT posted:i agree, it's really weird and unusual and off-putting that anyone is invested in the biggest franchise of all-time. a real head-scratcher, that. They aren’t even that invested in Star Wars really. They like the original trilogy and don’t care for the prequels but they generally shrug when talking about the new movies. If any of them are invested in anything it’s Star Trek.

sexpig by night posted:also while we're dropping hot takes on the countryside like it's Vietnam I'm just gonna say I think the reason RLM's star wars stuff is so sacred to so many nerds is it was the first time many of us saw criticism of the films from within the community rather than from outsiders who's main criticism boiled down to 'yea but space stuff is lame' so it was assigned a lot more depth than's actually there. Maybe because it’s good, idk.

khwarezm posted:'Within the community'? No that's absolutely not the case, first off RLM didn't have any profile wrt to Star Wars at all before the reviews, the first Plinkett reviews were all about Star Trek and if you follow their stuff it's abundantly clear that Mike and Rich are gigantic Trekkies more than anything else while 90% of their content about Star Wars usually involves them making fun of it and it's community. Shhh, let the dude be smug.

ricdesi posted:Maybe I'm wrong here, but aren't the Plinkett Prequel reviews supposed to be bad? I always understood them as a satire on armchair movie reviewers who think they know everything, but the longer they talk, the more they reveal they're just pissed over shallow or misunderstood details. No? That would be stupid and nonsensical.

Yardbomb posted:See that's stupid though, the world's not, the lovely people are more visible but they're steadily dying and being overwhelmed. The neo-nazis and all that garbage are dangerous, but they're louder because they're getting a parting peep out from their regular sadboy death spiral, the frogmen and their like are even easier, they crumple at the very implication of real resistance. Smoothbrains like the administration are some of the most hated we've ever had, they were put in place primarily by a broken system exploited by conmen. Injustices are shoved back against harder today than they were before, terrible people get told to gently caress off louder, progress regardless of constant speed is winning out. Get that dumb defeatist crap out mind. Lol this is hilariously naive.

Not to mention this economic turmoil causing a massive rise in nationalism and fascism including them taking the US presidency. But I guess people are mad at Racism online so I guess it broke even
