In summary,Tired Moritz posted:do you not understand the concept of metaphors The answer was "no". Speaking of Lindsay Ellis, I just watched her Rent video and I wish she would do something for Hamilton. I really liked the point that theater is a medium of the bourgeois and thus creates an inherent disconnect between it and themes of oppression/social upheaval as a result, and would like more thoughts about that. Edit: Are there any good channels for food science?

The Vosgian Beast posted:...really? yeah, broadway's inaccessible for a lot of people, but theater's increasingly a refuge for the marginalized I'm not connected with the theater scene so forgive my ignorance on the matter, but it seems like the scale of the production is what makes it the difference between a medium for catharsis vs. activism. Like I'm all for local community theaters doing shows that focus on LGBT or minority or feminist or however way society marginalizes them, but I imagine most of the people going to those shows are friends and family. Whereas something like Rent and Hamilton got popular enough that they could have actually meant something, but because of the institution they're a part of, are sorta hamstrung by the message that they can actually give. Hamilton especially annoys me because the people that it's meant to be empowering are instead largely unable to watch it outside of getting lucky with the lottery. Maybe my statement should have been better phrased to specify Broadway, especially in light of her examples, so my bad for the poor word choice, but it really was an interesting notion that I hadn't considered. And I just like Lindsay Ellis videos in general

The REAL Goobusters posted:Can anyone tell me why people like this boogie guy at all? Everytime he comes up in any of the social media feeds I'm on he just seems like the biggest piece of poo poo lmao. Is it just gamers If I recall, the Francis sketches were pretty funny in the early days of Youtube and he also did a lot to help people with losing weight and by being open about how much being obese hosed him up physically and mentally (I didn't actually watch his vlogs and stuff, so I don't know have first hand experience on how that was handled). He it seemed that he had a lot of goodwill that he seems to be flushing down the toilet with Bad Opinions™.

DrVenkman posted:I don't think she should've been sacked at all but I also don't think her reponse was warranted either, even while I understand why she would reply that way. I think Rami is misrepresenting what happened a little bit because the guy wasn't throwing poo poo at her and immediately apologised when she got annoyed for it. I get the feeling she's had to endure a whole lot of mansplaining as a female dev, so I think it's sort of a natural and perfectly understandable reflex to shut down dudes who go "Well actually...(1/3)". ANet is in the wrong, regardless.

Sanguinia posted:I haven't been to this thread in a while, but since I discovered it I just had to share Defunctland. This channel is all about documentary-style videos which discuss the histories and extinction/general failures of various theme parks and themed entertainment experiences. His work is incredibly detailed and filled with painstaking research and fascinating historical context. I've been going through Defunctland and it is reminding me hard of my wayward childhood visits to Disneyland. RIP Captain EO, which was apparently directed by...Francis Ford Coppola!?

nine-gear crow posted:Captain EO closed long before I finally got to Disneyland as a kid. So my first experience with it was in a Disney parks history book, which had a page spread dedicated to Captain EO. So all I saw of it was still images and description of the creative process and team behind it, so it looked loving phenomenal to me. Then years later I finally got to see the Tribute show after MJ’s death and was very underwhelmed by it. Though by that point in my life I already had a rather low opinion of Michael Jackson and George Lucas so wasn’t exactly broken up that it was just... a thing... that existed at one point. I remember always going to Captain EO because it was a nice, air conditioned attraction that let you sit down instead of stand/shuffle for 2 hours to sit down for 5 minutes. The lines generally weren't that long, either. I also really liked the robot that transformed into like, a synth, because I was totally into Transformers as a kid and the bad guys looked like the Borg. I think I also owned a copy of Moonwalker too (which I also liked because of the giant transforming Michael Jackson mech!).

Darth Walrus posted:I’ve heard great things about Seirei no Moribito, which is about a tough-as-nails thirty-year-old spearwoman guarding a young prince on a magical quest. It’s directed by Kamiyama Keiji, who did stuff like Ghost in the Shell, Patlabor, and Jin-Roh, with some of the best animators of the time backing him up. Seirei no Moribito is very good (disclaimer I haven't seen it since it came out), but I just wanted to make sure people aren't going to watch it expecting an action anime because if I recall, it can be quite slow. Not like, in a bad way, and it makes the actual fight scenes more impactful, but it deals a lot more with character and setting poo poo. It'd be like trying to sell GITSSAC as this cyberpunk anime with this kickass cyborg woman with a stealth suit and there are sentient tanks and then watching the episode that's basically a chat room dialogue and realizing that's more representative of the anime as a whole.

This is a nerdy and inconsequential rant, but I like lists and I usually like Easy Allies' content, but why would they make a Top 10 Towns list and have 4 entries from Zelda, three of which are from the same Zelda game? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qX_9dWoSHwM One of the reasons I like Cinefix's list videos is that they actually get pretty drat obscure and expand my cultural horizons, but c'mon Easy Allies, introduce me to some cool videogame towns that I may not be aware of. The correct answer for #1 is Stardew Valley's Pelican Town.

VHD:B owns, the side discussion was interesting but undercooked, but all the attempts at humor were all groan-inducing. Like he starts with a mea culpa about how his old humor didn't age well and then proceeds to make more bad jokes without really going in depth about why the movie owns. It's basically just like, a plot synopsis and the opportunity to remind people to watch the movie.

Jimbot posted:The Fast and Furious movies are fantastic. A modern epic. If you want to see what D&D campaign but with cars looks like, that's the series for you. Every film things just escalate from the previous. It's also basically a mecha anime but with cars. What's really amazing about the franchise is that it went from lovely Point Break (before we got a real lovely Point Break) to the premiere all star action movie ensemble. It's like the gimmick of The Expendables but they made a good movie out of it.

I liked Joseph Anderson's videos, but I admit a part of me is just fascinated by his level of obsession. I do like it when he adds up how much actual time a certain animation takes, like getting a star in Mario or going down an elevator in Breath of the Wild, because I agree that those repetitive animations should be skippable and is why all games should include fast forward buttons.
