Aglet56 posted:it's called xcom it would be interesting to see an alien invasion scenario in which the invaders actually have the information advantage of a species able to get here in the first place (battlefield: LA or whatever that movie was called was sort of that), but it would be really depressing as a strategy game

Gundam doesn't even have the excuse of being entirely reanimated gorgeously the way Do You Remember Love does while cutting the substance out of Macross. It's just doing it to lazily watch less

Tubgoat posted:Chess is boring as poo poo. Have they invented a chess variant where you can abuse RNG and information asymmetry? Yes, there is fog o war chess where you can't see your opponents pieces until one of your own can attack it along the file or diagonal and there are various Fischer chess variations where the back rank layout is random but balanced. Im a big fan of fairy chess on a 8x10 board.

Taintrunner posted:The real horror of JoJo Rabbit is that the Nazis were human beings, just like us, with the same potential for inhumane cruelty, which should be a lesson to take to heart as Americans are currently living in a country with... *checks notes* literal concentration camps on the border this is 100% correct and it's important to note that schindler's list came before Ordinary Men dropped as a book and kinda shattered the notion that nazis doing bad things required "bad people" or anything Soldaten(a book about the narratives of German POWs that were being recorded) also gets into it- they noted that anti-nazis among German POWs were just as likely to tell stories about atrocities they did(or claimed to just watch) as devoted nazis.

Alhazred posted:And it would be neat if the movie showed that instead of bending backwards to portray the nazis as people who were duped by Hitler and didn't really believe In nazism. You're a loving moron and an overly combative dipshit if you seriously think the movie went out of its way to portray the cast as "didn't really believe in Nazism." You have absolute goonbrain and an utter illiteracy and inability to watch film if that's your takeaway from the picture. I'm Jewish with Holocaust survivors in my bloodline, just to be clear. There is literally nothing offensive about Jojo Rabbit that shits on the memories of the millions of Jews killed in the Holocaust. Sam Rockwell's character is a borderline ubermensch whose entire subplot is (correctly) crack-pinging and going full doomer-brain who comes to accept that this fascist wave was complete horseshit. Rebel Wilson's character is a true believer right up to the end, shoving hand grenades up the arse of literal children and shooing them off to suicide bomb the Allied forces. She gets completely and correctly humiliated in the face of the Red Army. The little kid sidekick played by Archie Yates, the child true believer in the Third Reich and Hitler, gets completely loving humiliated, running around with a bazooka vastly oversized whilst wearing a paper uniform, and is never treated as anything but a literal child. I am sorry you did not get to see an actual child dismembered by the bayonets of the Red Army. I would reccomend Shadows of the Ostfront by Dan Carlin to satisfy your bloodlust. The main character, played by Roman Griffin Davis, a literal child, is the main point of the picture, explaining that even a child indoctrinated in the most hateful regime of all of human history, can realize this is all bullshit, and find love in the sworn enemy he has been taught since birth to despise and oppress. He ends the movie by literally murdering Adolf Hitler, his imaginary friend, as illustrated by the propaganda of the Third Reich. Jojo Rabbit literally screams at you that every single last Nazi was a horrific piece of poo poo that deserved to be murdered and killed and deserved no sympathy. The survivors are... *checks notes* ....literal children that realize that the Third Reich was wrong all along. Jesus loving Christ. Did you need Joseph Stalin himself to shoot JoJo and Yorki in the loving head, literally point blank, in order for you to feel secure in yourself that you and your family and American society could never, ever, possibly be Nazis? I mean, as a literal Eco-Stalinist, this sure sounds a bit loving extreme. Then again, the last time you and I squared off, you already proved yourself to be visually as well as textually illiterate. Sorry I can't help you. Taintrunner has issued a correction as of 13:44 on Nov 2, 2020 |

i always thought there was their weird aspect to the whole "random joe reviews a movie" thing like, you have to go pay to see the movie...but whether you like it or not, that you paid is considered a success because that and that alone figures into box office numbers so you can hate a movie all you want, but if you paid for it, and sat it through to the end so you have the authority to say "i watched this whole movie" means that even if the movie is poo poo...the studio still wins

It's actually one of my favourite episodes of the show, so you should check it out.

Uh I read the reviews and I read the stuff here with reasonably specific plot details I've also been pretty careful to avoid commenting about jojo rabbit directly I'm mainly discussing the archetypes the movie seems to dip into which I consider to be interesting even absent the context of jojo rabbit

The context of the film Jojo Rabbit, like America in real life, is that they live in a fully nazified society and the film is just a slice of life of the characters involved.
