A Big Fuckin Hornet posted:extremely late but Bad Day at Black Rock is v good. Though as far as noirish westerns go I will always go with Johnny Guitar. If you want another all around quintessential film noir that ticks all the boxes like Double Indemnity, check out Where the Sidewalk Ends. Never was there a man like my Johnny

You know they hosed up a Star Wars when they don't even have merchandisable new spaceships. I don't think anyone knows how to do spaceships anymore.

Thing is furries don't actually like the movie since for the most part the aesthetic is the total opposite of what furries actually like.

Postmodernism being all 'everything is actually secretly communist and subversive' kinda seems like a desperate reaction to the stark lack of actual leftist themes in media since the brutal suppression of anything left of Reagan and now actual communists are getting to make media it's become pretty redundant, with all of the last generation's woke subversive allies turning out to be impotent centrists

The prequels are fun to mock and meme because nearly everyone has seen them and they have a lot of dumb hammy melodrama and distinctive imagery, but no one's calling them good movies.

Percelus posted:they should make a movie about a guy who a new kind of human that has special powers and his are regeneration and claws and so the military makes him into a super soldier by fusing metal to his skeleton but somehow he dies anyway and makes a deal with the devil to become a hellspawn and come back giving him even more powers but then gets dosed with radiation turning him into a massive muscle bound monster man too then an alien creature comes and fuses with him so he also has alien powers I just assume all Hugh Jackman movies are Wolverine prequels so he was also Archangel Gabriel and an Australian cowboy

The better animes are like, 24 episodes max. It seems like either they're British levels of short or they go on forever.

Jenny Agutter posted:Yes the underage protagonist is sexualized to hell and back but hear me out, she's actually fairly loving badass? she quite kicks some rear end from time to time? so it's like not problematic at all? It's anime skeez taken to a ridiculous level but she brutally beats the poo poo out of someone almost every single episode. Also there's the time the antagonist goes full Raiden and beats the poo poo out of people while butt naked wielding only a weaponised toenail extension. Kinda like Panty and Stocking but slightly less of an open pisstake (also Panty and Stocking if you count the side manga has the protagonists fight monsters made of literally every bodily fluid)

Pener Kropoopkin posted:this is a really bad argument There's never so much horny that at least some of the audience won't still have boners, but they sure as hell made an effort. Kinda like Bayonetta. A lot about Panty and Stocking makes sense when you learn they got the idea for it when drunk in a hotel room in the US and saw Drawn Together on TV.

mysterious frankie posted:That’s not even a knock on liking anime. I’m like this close to watching My Hero Academia because of the constant commercial assault on Adult Swim while I was in that hotel last week. I’m saying a lot of you folk are now wailing rhetorical spaghetti monsters and I love it. Apparently the first season is neat but it kinda ends up reverting to formula, I'm guessing they ran out of original ideas

KiteAuraan posted:Odo is THE cop. Like, the Platonic ideal of a cop. The Ur-Cop, cop prime and like all cops views his existence as needed and neutral. Yeah, he's basically the Star Trek version of Judge Dredd, including in that he's basically the only one actually to care about the letter of the law and ideas of justice while literally everyone else just uses it to advance their agenda. And still becomes a total fascist when left to his own devices.

Some Guy TT posted:describing odo as judge dredd is kind of misleading the guys main gimmick is that hes super awkward and cant project authority even though hes a shapeshifter who could easily murder nearly any other character Fair enough, and Odo at times shows he actually belives more in justice than just the law. Says something that the Bajorans actually like him and he keeps his job even after the occupation, though he probably looked good in comparison to them. (plus, he canonically looked the other way to protect the Bajoran resistance) There's some interesting subtext (and sometimes text) with him as a third party in the whole political environment, neither Cardassian, Bajoran nor Federation either but operating under all of them, his at-first unique species making him an outsider who can claim neutrality. Odo's likely an idealisation, given on one hand he has huge control freak tendencies (something that seems to be an inherent characteristic of his species) but seems to prefer justice to to the mere machinations of law, and is explicitly shown to be more flexible in those matters than strait-laced Worf.

The Ferengi are definitely one of the few cases where you see examples of how a civilisation's ideology actually affects people who live in it; none of the recurring Ferengi are really what a Ferengi is 'supposed' to be, with two examples of people realising their society undervalues their skills and noping out to join a society that does give them an opportunity. The Changelings are a fun case of a species whose signature abilities are totally the opposite of what you'd expect from their apparently common personality traits.

etalian posted:I like how DS9 also subverting the cultures in which Quak is forced to hire Garak to knock him off since Quark got tricked by a rival and is forced to question following arbitrary rules. It's also really funny when Garak tries to find a way of killing Quark that Quark will accept. And I don't think he got around to calling off that hit...

Teriyaki Hairpiece posted:Just lack of communication is a universal thing in all wars and especially WWI. Have a unit that advanced a little too far and a little too fast for the timetable. Have an officer realize they're in an area where they're not supposed to be and they're about to be subjected to the mother of all artillery barrages and their pigeons are dead and their phone lines are cut (because it's WWI). So they send back a runner. He goes through all sorts of convoluted war adventures but gets back to HQ and gets his message in just a little too late. The end of the movie is our hero on a faraway hill watching his mates get blown up by high explosive in a horrible mistake. He's helpless, the system is helpless, his friends are helpless, and no one is really at fault. Also he's perversely happy because by chance he's somehow alive when they're all dead. War is just hosed up like that. IIRC this is basically Gallipolli.
