movie report of the day the virgin spring - blu ray - seen this 1 before. ah, to have my faith tested by unspeakable acts. would i succumb to temptation, the temptation of revenge, of violence? would my God guide me to the correct path? perhaps. ant man - my computer - some good laughs in this one. typical marvel thingy. too long even at 1h45m, lifeless boring action, funneh quips. paul rudd is good, which makes sense. blade - hbo max - only seen blade 2 before. now i seen this one too. funny to see stephen dorff be so crazy in this and cecil b demented, when my first exposure to him was in sofia coppola's "Somewhre", where he plays me.

Dune is a terrible book imo. I read it a few months ago. There’s some neat things in the world-building but everyone and everything in it feels very flat. Herbert writes 3rd-person omniscient but everyone has the same inner-monologue style so it just...doesn’t work. Idk. I do see why it has resonated for such a long time.

A little known fact is that ”Blade” is actually a nickname given to the character by his friends because he really likes the band Slade. They got tired of saying ”this is Eric, he likes the band Slade” all the time when introducing him to people and it eventually turned into ”Blade”. It’s only a coincidence that he eventually decided to use a blade in his line of work

yeah herbert was very good at world building, but his sense of character was flat. but that was fine, because he structured his story well such that you had a main character that was simultaneously an everyman that had to learn everything so the reader could also learn it, while always feeling like he belonged there and not like he was being particularly exposited to. the lynch movie is fun, if you go into it with the idea that its more inspired by the books than really adapting them. hell, the end of the movie would literally destroy all of civilization if you were adhering strictly to the things we know from the book. but, its a happy ending, because the palette turns blue and rain comes. cleansing rain. visual metaphor. good for movies, bad for stories. luckily they are not the same thing.

The sequel books are hit and miss. I can't recommend anything past book 4 (God-Emperor of Dune). And we just won't mention any of the books Herbert's son cooked up with Kevin J Anderson.

Spiderdrake posted:Cuz the world building is absolutely amazing, hands down, cool as gently caress. It actually feels like you're reading something from a writer developing a different culture on a different world with real impulses and humanity as opposed to most sci-fi essentially feeling like a team of teenagers with attitude. Dune is entirely about world view and world building though, getting you in that place. Either your head goes there or it sucks. Idk what most of sci-fi you’re reading but it seems like a very different set of books than what I read, where there is good world building, plot, and characters and you don’t have to negotiate one for the other

Kvantum posted:The sequel books are hit and miss. I can't recommend anything past book 4 (God-Emperor of Dune). But the appeal might be unique to writers since if you finish a couple novels you look over your list of ideas and the horseshit insane stuff starts looking super appealing by the third or fourth book. And Herbert went loving beyond.

it's funny in blade 3 where one of the vampire hunters has a lovely little mp3 player all of the time and relies on it to stay focused by not being able to hear anything while out hunting vampires. if it was me directing that movie I would have said "cut" while pointing at the mp3 player, which is how they decide what to keep in the film

GOOD SCI-FI NOT ABOUT MOODY TEENAGERS: Octavia Butler - literally any of her stuff Martha Wells’ Murderbot Diaries Gene Wolfe’s Book of the New Sun ( j/k Severian is the moodiest teenager (but this is still the best thing) ) Ann Leckie’s Ancillary Justice Philip K Dick - any of it, my favorite is Martian Time-Slip

My favorite Butler books are the two Parable ones, but they’re part of an unfinished trilogy (because she’s dead); they are still good as stand-alones.

Like Amber, or in fact Dune!!! (There was a 7 planned his son butchered and mutilated) and soon maybe song of fire and ice, though somehow he's still alive fat as gently caress and not putting out books since I stopped reading it over ten years ago

Spent the last two and a half weeks dealing with a relapsed friend. I’ve tried being nice and understanding but I’m so loving tired and it’s taking all my willpower to not just physically grab them, force them into my car, and take them to a rehab/detox place. I don’t loving need this right now.

Don't have the link handy, but I recently watched a video that discussed how Come and See avoids the "glorifying war" pitfall that a lot of other anti-war movies tend to fall into by 1)not filming large pitched battles but instead focusing on smaller-scale skirmishes (and, of course, the horrible war atrocities that took place on the Eastern Front), and 2) filming it like it was a horror movie rather than a war movie; with disconcerting close-ups, characters staring directly into the camera (and basically at the viewer), and eerie/unsettling sound design that gives The Shining a run for its money.

I wont post again yea lurkers can read and talk about threads in a peanut gallery area (either in here or in the games discord) but its usually frowned upon to impact the ecosystem of players in active mafia games since every post gets looked at under a narrow lens
