General Dog posted:It’s a valid criticism, but at the same time it’s kind of cooked into any war movie with a focus on foot soldiers that the enemy will be something of a scary, faceless other. Even starship troopers shows that their enemy is capable of feeling fear.

Some Guy TT posted:If nothing else I have to appreciate the acknowledgement that nearly every adult man in the United States in the fifties was if not a veteran at least directly affected by the war somehow and it's really obnoxious how most critique of fifties era pop culture does not acknowledge this subtext at all yeah America still basically refuses to acknowledge that or the role it had in creating this arch type of the stoic silent masculine man secretly filled with rage

Why not? I'm a joker. I make death into a game for people like you to get excited about. I watched you tonight. You'd love making it possible, wouldn't you? You'd love pressing that button. What a thrill that would be, knowing you have to die to have the power to take everyone else with you. The mob of them with their plans, their little hopes, born to be murdered. Turning away from it, closing their eyes to it, and you could be the one to make it true. Do it to them. But you're afraid, so you look for the thrill someplace else. And who better than a man who isn't afraid?

Miss Lonelyhearts posted:A Scanner Darkly is a pretty loving good adaptation, it's very close to the novel ie extremely paranoid. Downey Jr. and Harrelson are A+ and Keanu's wooden acting is perfect for the role just like January Jones in Mad Men. iirc Dick originally wrote it about his real friends but his publisher made him add a bunch of sci-fi for sales. sorry it’s cancelled for “platforming” Alex Jones

Mr Hootington posted:The best part of Harry Potter, at least in the movies, is the global holocaust the death eaters are committing. This is all ignored when voldemort is killed because he was making everyone do the bad things! harry potter needs a sequel where there's a bad group of wizards who want to bring magic to the muggles and harry has to race around europe collecting all the best deatheaters so the bad wizards who want to share magic dont make a deal with them. then they can build a magick artifack with such power that the bad wizards relent and promise not to tell muggles about magic. then in the next sequel the bad group of wizards make their own magick artifack and hide it in hogsmeade which is only noticed because harry (now PM of magic) has ordered broom overflights with magick artifack detecting spells, which leads to a standoff where the bad group of wizards threaten to tell muggles about magic and detonate the magick artifack if harry execorsizes his legal rights as pm of magic to inspect hogsmeade. so harry puts together a team of the best, ron is back, harrimonie is back, etc. and the have long meetings and eventually decide to publicly say theyre getting rid of their magick artifack in exchange for the bad wizards doing the same, and everyone is like "drat harry got owned" but really he's secretly got a better magick artifack no one knows about yet. so harry gets to be brave and get owned in public even though the audience knows hes right. maybe this one can be a 2 parter. then in the next sequel harry gets killed by a magical assassin using long range spells, so ron has to run for PM of magic but then he gets killed too.
