Due to the expanded lore and different designs in the later games I always assumed that it was a lineage, that they were different characters until I realised otherwise. Gerald Robotnik, his son Ivo Robotnik who was generally pudgy and round, and then Ivo's son Dr Eggman, who had more gangly limbs and was generally less fat but more egg-shaped.

The best case for that would be the post-apocalyptic people finding Galaxy Quest, and despite thinking it's a real thing that happened they still learn about fiction from it, so they're like "Well at least we're smarter than those aliens that came by 300 years ago..." Just a nested kind of madness. Then a year later they come across an episode of The Office, recognise Riann Wilson and just collectively facepalm realising "Welp, we're still the idiots!"

On another note, It just occurred to me that in Demolition Man, MurderDeathKill may be a classification in three parts. The crime, the intent, the effect. Like if the guy had survived having his eye removed it may have been "MurderAttemptedTrauma"

I genuinely do find Galaxy Quest interesting because it raises the question "How would you describe fiction to a people that don't even understand falsehoods in general" though. It's a fun thought experiment.

I just got around to watching The Raven, the John Cusack Edgar Allen Poe movie and it's kind of interesting. It's a fun character, Poe has enough humanity that his aggressive mannerisms aren't all he has, like he's relatively nice to a newish amateur poet who shares her work with him, and the poem's a bit crap but he genuinely enjoys it on it's own terms and helps her feel better about herself, so it's obvious he's only an rear end to people who already hate him. Also it has a neat idea, where Edgar Allen Poe was found dying delirious on a park bench and no one knows how he died or what happened, and this movie is purporting to answer that question. It's just a movie that seemed to have been completely forgotten.

The backstory to Gaston - his nickname in school was Beast because he didn't grow into his face properly until he was eighteen and had terrible acne, so when that passed and his looks settled he grasped onto his self-confidence with both hands terrified of losing it again.

I could see it being amusing if it was just 10 episodes of Gaston getting dunked on by Belle. Make it literal Johnny Bravo. Oh god how amazing would it be if Gaston was still a virgin? He never settled for anything other than Belle, and because she constantly rejected him he just never got laid.

I just watched Maleficent: Mistress of Evil and thought it was a lot better than I expected. It had some fun character moments and I liked that one of the chekov's guns was played around with - You expect the wedding dress to be used to escape the room, Aurora fools the guards into thinking she's done the predictable thing and while they are distracted she slips away through the door and locks them in, but then later she needs to escape from a floor down, so goes to the dress-rope and actually uses it this time. I thought that that was cute. Also I like that the Misunderstanding that seeds the main conflict was deliberately engineered by the villain, it made everyone look so much less dumb. Also Aurora seemed smarter in this installment, or at least capable of taking care of herself.

It's a Tom Cruise movie that plays to both his fans and his detractors. One the one hand, you get to see Tom Cruise in an action movie being a badass, and on the other hand, you get to see Tom Cruise dying over and over again. Win/Win!

The whole "Oppressed people intentionally loving up the thing they were forced to help build thing" was done amazingly in Invader Zim. One of the planets that Irk took over got turned into a weapons factory that build invisible giant robots, however the robots had multiple design flaws that still met all the specs. It moves, but it needs to be directly plugged into an outlet and is such a power drain that it barely lasts 5 minutes even on the short leash formed by the outlet and cord, and while the robot turns invisible, the pilot doesn't, just floating there like an idiot.

BTW I got around to watching a neat short film that I was only interested in because it starred Nate Richert from Sabrina the Teenage Witch and I wanted to see what he did later (the short was his last acting role before going full time musician) - it was called H-E-N-R-Y, about a pair of inmates in a prison, one coming in that day, one leaving the day after, the latter being Richert (the titular Henry). It was an interesting character piece, with the idea being that they were playing a game of HORSE but with the letters being Henry's name instead, but while Henry starts the match off and doesn't give the new guy the option not to play despite the stakes being his only possession (the basketball they are playing with) Henry isn't a total rear end in a top hat - throughout the game he's giving good advice about surviving in prison and generally being very supportive while the new guy struggles to cope with his situation, and it's got some variety because each round the person who's throw it is picks a new court - initially a dilapidated hoop outside an old schoolhouse, then throwing paper into the trashcan in their cell, in a gymnasium at one point then finishing up in the prison yard itself. I don't know how they got to the exterior locations given their sentences, but it adds some flair so I'll allow it. Here's a link to the film, the only place you can actually watch it although apparently it had a limited DVD release: https://www.imdb.com/video/vi1848705561?ref_=tt_pv_vi_aiv_1

I'd like a version of Inspector Gadget where criminals have become afraid of him simply because they know his wiring is poo poo, but also civillians aren't comfortable around him either, so he's never invited to stuff because he could pull out a confetti cannon at a child's birthday only for it to fire something less fun (which hasn't happened because it's not grimdark it's just a worry people have), or a criminal facing a gadget that maybe intended to be an oil slick but it could be anything that comes out of there, like on the one hand it could be toothpaste, on the other it could be gasoline, and you just don't want to risk it. The story is Gadget trying to get his poo poo in order while trying to get his reputation out of the hole he's dug for it. The movie was dumb though because the gently caress ups weren't actually his fault - in the second movie they kind of admit that the chip that powers him is garbage, and in the first one it just raises questions like "Why does he have a gallon of toothpaste up his sleeve?" He asked for an oil slick, that wasn't his fault he's poorly wired and has random irrelevant chemicals in varying sacks in his body.

Tars Tarkas posted:It happened enough they had special cop task forces that just went into theaters to arrest people for it. That was part of a general harassment of those places, but there was a lot of mob connections with the porn industry (and actual violence when some of the groups clashed over territory). More people used the individual booths (both loops and ones with live dancers) for self pleasure, to the point where people make jokes about whoever gets hired to clean them up. Some of this is covered in the book The Other Hollywood: The Uncensored Oral History of the Porn Film Industry What about it's sequel, the "Uncensored Anal History of the Porn Industry"?

To be fair it's a good time to shoot an apocalyptic movie - no one in the streets to clear out, you don't need to close any roads. As long as the characters and crew stay properly distanced and ppe'd you'd be fine.

An amusing anecdote with event horizon was that slowbeef was watching the movie at some point and his daughter walked in, so he paused it, but it happened to be during that scene, which in the final movie only appears in brief flashes so you can barely see anything - however due to the fact that he panic paused it it paused on one of those horrors, and he just kept trying and it just kept showing some new awful thing as he tried to get his daughter out. He mentioned it on a stream.

Venom was a very charmingly stupid movie. Like when they are trapped in the building with all the FBI/Cops or whatever and Venom's like "Just jump out of the window mate" and then it cuts to them leaving the elevator and Venom's just like "Pussy..." I also liked with the love interest when she merges with Venom so they can rescue Brock and after she's done with Venom and they split this exchange happens "I just ate someone's head..." "Yeah, you get used to it."

If there's a sequel to Venom I just want a little scene where, during an action scene or a standoff with a minor threat, the offscreen voice of Tom Holland has this exchange with Brock: "You need any help?" "Nah, we're good." and that's it.
