K. Waste posted:Okay, GenChat, tonight is one of those "the end of Halloween doesn't mean the end of the Halloween spirit" type of nights, so what am I watching tonight? 7 Faces of Dr Lao is a movie from my childhood that I don’t remember and it’s probably real racist, so that one.

A couple favorite YouTube’s of mine https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Co6d3h-NpS8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4sZuN0xXWLc HUNDU THE BEAST GOD posted:The Bigamist, No Money Down, Sin In The Suburbs I just watched The Bigamist this weekend, between it and The Hitch-Hiker, I’m willing to say: Ida Lupino’s hella good. Skwirl posted:I think we have Dickeye to thank for both of those entering our collective consciousness. Surviving Edged Weapons is definitely because of Dickeye, and the first time I saw Hauntedween was on Dickstream, but maybe other people about it beforehand. Hi yes me and fishbulb were the ones that introduced Dickeye to Hauntedween, because we saw it at the local Drafthouse for $1.

Prince realizing he struck gold is the part I wanted to share, so I'll look a little harder. Prince just loving stumbled face-first into one of the greatest guitar riffs ever, it’s absolutely insane how good Purple Rain is.

CPL593H posted:I didn't see Mandy yet, so I can't comment on it specifically but I see the kind of thing I'm talking about all the time. I went to a Godzilla screening a few years ago and most of the audience was just yukkin it up until about half way into the movie when they realized how grim it is. A lot of people are just above liking things now. It's obnoxious and stupid. My girlfriend and I saw The Exorcist a couple years ago, and there was laughing every time Reagan or Captain Howdy swore or did anything demonic, it was pretty annoying.

Can’t forget Klefki, the set of keys that is a fairy, or Aegislash, the sword and shield that are a ghost, or Pallosand, the sand castle that is a ghost, or Pumpkaboo, the pumpkin that is a ghost, or Drifloon, the balloon that carries children away to their deaths which is also a ghost.

Overlord gave me a scene where a Nazi’s mouth is covered in duct tape, and when the duct tape gets ripped off, he has a grenade in his mouth and the firing pin is attached to the tape. The opposite of blue balls. Overlord ruled.

Franchescanado posted:Even like episode 7 of the original cartoon had that weird plot about the trainer who drowns his Sandshrew and puts it in horrific metal devices and whips/tortures all of his pokemon, but it's okay because they like it/suffer from Stockholm syndrome. There’s an episode where a Charmander is left out in the rain by a lovely trainer, and once its tail flame goes out, it will die.

CelticPredator posted:I’m not gonna fully judge the movie on this, but I’d love it if more doubt footage films would really get authentic with it. If it’s set in the past, track down an old camera or something that could replicate that look. There was a Chilean narrative biographical drama called No, which was about an election in the 1980s that was filmed on 1980s camera equipment. Coffee And Pie posted:Also if we’re talking about Pokémon, which Pokémon would you eat and how would you prepare it? Vanillish, the ice cream cone Pokémon, as-is. Budgie Jumping posted:This is horrid. You can't get consent from a creature with a one word vocabulary. Team Rocket’s Meowth is the only Meowth that can talk. I think some of the legendaries (especially Mewtwo in Pokémon: The First Movie) can speak with more than just their names. CPL593H posted:That's a fair question. Probably not. But this is just a thing I don't get why people just loving love it. There's all kinds of poo poo I don't like and don't care about but usually I get why people like it. I guess mostly I just wish people would like new poo poo instead of just renewing their interest in the same thing over and over again. It's boring. I like Pokémon because Geodude is real, and strong, and he’s my friend. LesterGroans posted:Is Pokemon something that's stagnating though? Doesn't it have fans that are kids? I mean, I know the original Pokemen but have no idea what anything past 150 is, but I know they kept going. A couple weeks ago I was at a high school and saw a kid in a Pokémon shirt and was struck with the thought that I was first into Pokémon before that kid was born, so yeah it’s still popular among kids.

Detective No. 27 posted:The social aspect is what makes that series so brilliant. Pokémon is an incredibly well-designed game because it lets you get as casual or into it as you want. You can complete the game’s story, and that can be it. Or you can also do the post-game stuff, or you can complete the Pokédex, or you can do breeding and battling (which require VERY different skills from the main game), there’s a lot to the Pokémon games and it’s very well put-together.

MacheteZombie posted:Theyve done a lot to streamline the breeding stuff the past couple gens and it's so much better because of that. *opens spreadsheet with all my high quality pokemon breeds like some kind lovely puppy mill owner* My girlfriend was considering getting into breeding/competitive play and it sounds wild, like in Sun/Moon specifically you need to wait for the like 40th SOS Pokémon to show up in a battle to get the really good EVs and then you need to breed it and see what it’s nature is and aaaaaahhhhhhhhhh

Detective No. 27 posted:My favorite gen is Gen 5. (Black and White.) It was the peak of the 2D era, with the fastest battles, and a whole brand new 150 Pokemon. You don't see any old Pokemon until you beat the game. Not even Pikachu. It was pretty bold. It has a robust post-game too. I blame the crappy Exp. Share system, which makes leveling up a balanced team so much more difficult and time-consuming. I think Let’s Go is getting rid of Exp. Share as an item, and it’ll just always be in play, which could be interesting. CelticPredator posted:Remember Pokémon snap Pokémon snap ruled

I can't wait to see the look on her face when I give it to her when we go on vacation next month. I’m also getting the Pikachu version, and my girlfriend’s getting the Eevee version, and we’ve basically slotted our this whole weekend for Pokémon.

Is pokemon bank usable with it? I don’t know, I don’t even know if Pokemon Bank is available on Switch. And as far as I can tell it’s only the original 151, plus Alolan variants, plus Meltan/Melmetal, the new legendaries.

garycoleisgod posted:Anywho to bring it back to movies, after not watching many westerns apart from every Clint Eastwood movie ever made, does GenChat have any good recommendations to get this taste out my mouth? To save your breath, I have also already seen The Proposition, it ruled, so no need to pimp that one. If you liked Leone’s Man With No Name trilogy, you have to watch Once Upon a Time in the West, which also features the death of the West as a theme. The Wild Bunch is another good death of the West movie, it even takes place in the early 1900s. Rio Bravo and My Darling Clementine are straight-forward westerns, and wonderful movies. bushisms.txt posted:The quick and the dead is everything rdr2 is not. The Quick and the Dead rules.

Wheat Loaf posted:I still haven't seen that. I know Hackman is the villain so it might make for an interesting double-feature with Unforgiven. I haven’t seen Unforgiven (I want to be more well-versed in classic westerns before watching it), but The Quick and the Dead rules because it’s Raimi pulling out all the stops, and throwing crash zooms all over the place. Also, the cast is amazing, pre-fame DiCaprio and Crowe, Sharon Stone, Keith David, and Gene Hackman!

Wheat Loaf posted:Another western recommendation: The Good, the Bad, the Weird, which is about a bounty hunter (the good), a big city gangster (the bad) and a motorcycle-riding train robber (the weird) all chasing each other and following a map to buried treasure across Manchuria in 1938 while being pursued by Mongolian bandits and, at one point, the entire Japanese army. From the same director as I Saw The Devil, no less. The Good, the Bad, and the Weird is a hell of a movie.

Every so often, I have a moment where I realize loving Something Awful Dot Com is the reason I never became a pepe/groyper type shitlord, I was raised in a two households, one Christian and Fox News conservative, the other Atheist and libertarian/ancap, so getting exposed to LF back in the day was eye-opening for me and led to me breaking with the normal political ideologies in my family.Alhazred posted:Most conservatives hates Trump because he's incompetent evil, not because he's evil. Conservatives love Trump because he appeals to their lizard brains, any conservative that says they don't like Trump is a grifter trying to make money off clueless centrists and liberals; the current scandal in which the token Republican on Pod Save America was found to have spread anti-Semitic conspiracy theories on behalf of facebook, or David loving Frum (who coined the phrase "Axis of Evil") pivoting to become a #Resistance lib.
