SomeJazzyRat posted:Not having read any Hellraiser comics, I could see Harrowers maybe working in a "Cure just as bad as the disease" sort of way. Beings in opposition to the Cenobite's pure hedonism, swearing their lives to destroying them in the name of chastity and moral restraint. But like the Cenobites, they are purely dissociated from mortal reality and human needs and desires. So in their pursuit, they will destroy everything in the attempt to claim one cenobite. So a Pinhead and his fellow cenobites might relentlessly come after you, if a Harrower comes along you might be destroyed by a careless and completely apathetic being. The Harrowers were the name given to the team of humans who entered hell to defeat Pinhead after he had amassed all of Earth's magical knowledge, killed the other members of his order, and went to Satan's Cathedral in hell to steal the devil's armor. He finds Satan dead, steals his armor, the devil comes back to life, they fly around shooting bolts of energy at each other, then Satan pulls out all of Pinhead's nails. Satan then moves to NYC and eats nothing but pizza for the rest of his days. I am not making any of this up.

The MSJ posted:The entire 1984-1985 cartoon series was a prequel to the 1986 movie. We would assume this is a prequel to the Bumblebee movie, but who knows now. There were even episodes of the G1 series that went back in time to the creation of the Transformers, to the beginning of the Great War, to them ending up on Earth. The whole timeline has been covered.

PriorMarcus posted:Does Anakin even know he was immaculately conceived? This has been bugging me this whole thread. The Immaculate Conception refers to the Virgin Mary who was conceived without Original Sin. Her conception was the regular physical kind, her parents had sex and she was conceived, but through God's intervention she was free from the sin of Adam which taints all of humanity. This made her a pure, sinless vessel for bearing the Son of God. The Virgin Birth refers to Jesus' birth, as Mary conceived with the Holy Spirit and became pregnant without sexual intercourse. There was no physical, human father, rather, she was impregnated through the will of God. When talking about Annakin's conception and birth via the Force, it's more appropriate to use the term "Virgin Birth" as Schmi did not have sex with a man, she was made pregnant by the Force, possibly under the control of Darth Plagueis.

The only thing that the original has over the remake is that Strother Martin plays Col.

fatherboxx posted:The investments helped secure a slate of A-list directors and producers for the launch of the app, which was no longer called NewTV. (It turned out — whoops — that there was already a company named NewTV.) The new name was Quibi. Katzenberg had originally wanted to call it Omakase, after the sushi tasting menus he enjoyed at least once a week at Nobu Malibu. “That would have really won over Wisconsin,” a former insider notes. Ultimately, Quibi won the day. “They never asked staff to weigh in on it,” this person says. “People on staff thought it was cringey and would ask, ‘Is it too late to change it?’ Meg loved it.” Though arguably no sillier-sounding than Hulu, Quibi would be roundly mocked by people who thought it sounded like a “quinoa-based doggy snack” or “the cry of an attacking Ewok.” Why do they always act like the Midwest is full of uncultured rubes when as far as I can tell rich people on the coasts can be just as tacky and ignorant as anyone else in the world?

The residents were so upset by the way their home was depicted that they had to find a different location in the sequel. So they just went with a different Romanian village.

Like if the stuff he made was as interesting as he thinks it is I wouldn't have an issue with it, but when I watch Avatar I see what everyone else in this forum sees when they talk about Marvel stuff: a paint by numbers movie made by a committee with the explicit intent of making as much money as possible with as little actual art behind it as possible.

That combined with that absolute ghoulish 'I bet if those middle easterners got a wish they'd be the ones who made an apartheid wall' poo poo makes it very clear how this movie's writers and all view the middle east.

If it was WW 1994 the Balkans would work. The ME was pretty big in the 80s for regional conflict. I suppose you could do Central America, but a Mediterranean goddess is a better fit for the ME.

I was in Erbil a few years ago, talking to a Kurdish man about how Iran, Turkey, Iraq, and Syria don't want their to be a Kurdistan as it would mean those countries would have to give up land. He said that the lines were drawn over their land, they just wanted what was theirs. You could say that the Israelis make the same claims, as they claim Israel was promised to them by God.

AceOfFlames posted:Why is a woman who wants to kill dogs more evil than every other villain who wants to kill humans? Cows are essentially an industrial product raised to make full use of the cow. The meat, bones, hide, and all the rest of it are used for one purpose or another with no wastage, and for the time 101 Dalmations is set, there are not synthetic alternatives to cowhide for protective garments and footwear. Dogs are service animals and it's a waste of a dog's purpose to grow them only for their hides. Cruella is gathering puppies to make a luxury item for no other purpose than to show off how rich she is. That's why she's worse than someone who raises ordinary livestock.
