The ending of Hereditary was fantastic. I actually felt it didn't go quite far enough.

Tragedy is comedy. Ari Aster is obviously heavily influenced by Roy Andersson who specialises in scenes like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wC9FsakgH9Y

Beachcomber posted:I get the joke but it's not very funny. Like way below 'Sensible Chuckle'. It's more like, "Cause one side of your lips to do an anemic half-smile". Laughing any more than that is wasteful. A sensible chuckle every few weeks is more than enough.

Wasn't the only reason they got a record deal in the first place that they were related to some industry legend record executive? E: yep Their dad/grandad (they're a uncle-nephew group) was Berry Gordy who founded an obscure little label called Motown. FreudianSlippers fucked around with this message at 03:58 on Jan 15, 2020 |

Both America and France are imperialist powers ruled by crusty perverts that think they're world police and are full of loud obnoxious assholes who think they shouldn't need to learn any other languages because they speak the global language of the most exceptional and important country in the world. The only difference is that the Americans sort of have a point about the last one.

It's very dumb and the fantasy parts clash hard with the typical Guy Ritchie Cockney Gangster parts but it's decent fun. Especially when Arthur is using the sword because it's basically a medieval weapon of mass destruction. He cuts through dozens of enemies with one swing, sadly with no real gore. It's also very obvious that it was intended as the first in s series because there's a bunch of core Arthurian characters that get mentioned but don't really show up (most notably Merlin) that they were probably saving for the sequel that will never happen.

Chairman Capone posted:There were a number of Greek philosophers who thought that the gods were just exaggerated memories of actual kings who had lived in the past. The Icelandic scholar and chieftain Snorri Sturluson (1179 1241) is responsible for most of our written sources about Norse mythology despite being a Christian himself (and being born nearly two centuries after Iceland converted). He also wrote Yngling's Saga where he theorized that Odin was a king from from Asia who was driven away from his homelands after a war with the Eastern Roman Empire and ended up in Scandinavia where he and his sons founded the dynasties of the kings of Norway, Sweden and Denmark and were only seen as god because of ancestor worship. Note that even in this secularized version Odin is a sorcerer. This was handy in that it allowed kings claim descent from the gods with all the prestige that comes with that while still being good Christians because they weren't actually literally gods.

The Mississippi river mission in Blood Money was fun because faking an "accidental" death was really trivial. Just push someone over the railing into the river, if they aren't close to a railing knock 'em out and then throw their unconscious body into the river. The next level was a redneck wedding in a old plantation house where literally every single NPC is carrying a gun and no one is alerted or even bothered by you shooting right in front of them as long as you don't hit anybody. All of Blood Money is basically a bunch of Danes' vision of what America.

The MSJ posted:The Marvel comics Dracula was once ironically written as a racist Islamophobe and wants to protect Europe from the threat of immigration from the Middle East. He ended up getting killed by a Muslim immigrant superhero. I like his 70s solo stuff because it's basically all him being an arrogant rear end in a top hat and occasionally murdering random people who always get full names and oddly detailed and tragic backstories even if they just appeer for two panels.

Young Freud posted:Doesn't Blade hang around with him? Blade tries to kill him a whole bunch and he tries to kill Blade as much. I think both of them manage it at least once but Blade survives because he's actually immune to vampire bites (his only real superpower in the comic version) and Dracula just comes back to life later because he's Dracula. In the comics Blade is also British and lives in London with his girlfriend a showgirl called Safron and dresses like this:  Because it's the 70s. If anyone hasn't seen the really cheesy anime based on the comics it's all up on Youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4F0CqGOONrw is this  ? I'll edit it out if it is.

This is actually a pretty good idea. Way too many biopics are spread way too thin and try to cover the subject's entire career or even their entire life and end up feeling more like a loose highlight reel than an interesting story. Picking one very specific part of the subject's life to depict gives you more room for depth.

Codependent Poster posted:Gotta make sure to really give the film time to dwell on the pants making GBS threads. yes. A film where Al Capone, instead of being this badass criminal underworld king is a barely sentient pantshitting moron like he was during his last years, is on paper at least, a great idea.+ semi related: I am a big Bowie fan but I would never watch a Bowie biopic except if it was focused on some specific part on his career like The Berlin Years or on young Bowie's various failed schemes to make it big or maybe even on his last album that he basically made on his deathbed. But to be realistic Hollywood would much rather make a film that would cover his entire career generally from the 60s to at least the 90s and with some sort of redemption arc where he starts to do and then quits drugs and it would suck. I“m also a big Captain Beefheart fan and Frank (2014) has basically prematurely made any future Captain Beefheart film obsolete despite technically being a Frank Sidebottom film because the general arc of the film is basically about the recording of Trout Mask Replica. I vaguely recall some Tarantino interview where he said he hated biopics but if he ever made one it would just be about Elvis on the day before recording his first big hit or something along those lines.

AceOfFlames posted:And meth. To be fair basically everyone who wasn't some sort of Mormon or something was on meth in the 40s. Though few went as hard into as the Nazis. It should also be noted that before the whole War thing Hitler slept in every day and stopped showing up to meetings very quickly after taking power unless something he was directly interested in was being discussed. He was basically just a really lazy guy whose leadership style was to do as little as possible and encourage this underlings to just think WWHD preferably while loving each other over as much as possible because struggle leads to strength. Thankfully didn't lead to a very efficient system of governance when you could have two different government agencies with the exact same job both competing for Daddy Hitler's love and sabotaging each other at every turn.

Gladiator was far actually less grounded than the actual historical realities of gladiatorial combat. So a sequel going in the complete opposite direction would just even things out.

If you read primary sources from when the British were colonizing Ireland in the 17th century you can see how racism was first and foremost invented as a justification for colonialism and slavery. There's a lot of comparisons to "Wild Arabs" and "Savage Injuns" (especially when authors try to argue that the pastoral agriculture of the Irish means they aren't using the land properly anyway) and a oddly popular theory that the Irish are actually Phoenicians, Scythians, or some vague "oriental" ancient people who got lost and massacred all the native Britons on the island are thus not entitled to the country And that's not getting into all the times they're directly compared to animals or the accusations of pagan Moon Worship.
