i will probably never watch the nurse ratched show because why. why would anyone

that was instantly where my brain went when i read that tweet too. i am totally baffled by the idea that anyone could ever want that show.

imagine the meeting where a bunch of trust fund baby hollywood producers with room temperature iqs all agreed that NURSE RATCHED ORIGIN STORY???? was the best concept

Anime movie: full of frog and dog people driving hyper jet rocket cars
Me: wow, what a crazy world, I wonder who the main character is going to be
Anime movie: also one white guy with a pompadour and leather jacket driving a classic muscle car

the EPA investigates the ghostbusters because they are storing ghosts in the basement and they think that might be like storing barrels of toxic waste.

and iirc they do all get out in one of the movies, which is, like, exactly why it’s irresponsible

in the first movie dickless shuts down the containment and they escaping ghosts create all the events that take place in the third act of that movie, but it could be argued that the ghosts were just pissed off at being locked up in the first place.

in the second movie it becomes apparent that psychic energy can directly affect reality, because all the new yorkers' aggregated bad moods manifest as a river of pink goo under the city. so the EPA was probably correct that storing the psychic energy of 1000 imprisoned ghosts in the basement of the firehouse was akin to storing toxic waste, at least on a spiritual level

I'm a fan of Elan Sleazebaggano™, a male Balosar slythmonger who was present on Coruscant, the capital of the Galactic Republic, during the Separatist Crisis. He tended to tour Coruscant's nightclubs to sell his addictive death sticks.

it's really nice when they get the details right like that

the movie K-19: The Widowmaker is not very good overall, but the part where they go in to fix the reactor is the most accurate welding i've seen in a film. they actually use two different rigs to do the cutting and the welding! first they haul in an oxyacetylene rig with an actual cutting torch fitted and use it to remove the broken pipe. then they pull that out and go in with a stick welder to fit it back together, even properly scratch-starting the arc.

after 10000 films where no distinction is made between welding and cutting, and both are just a blue propane flame that shoots sparks everywhere like they're welding with a sparkler, it was quite wonderful

Is there a definitive watch/skip list for Futurama?

I feel like I've tried to do watch-throughs of it but once I get to the ones where they make "Movies" (that were p.clearly just three or four epis taped together) I get real :flaccid: real quick?

just watch up to the opera, which is a really nice and sweet ending for the series.

all the other stuff is bonus features

I like the bit where Bender is apparently shot dead but it turns out he's fine because he had a bullet-proof vest hanging on a coat-hanger inside his chest cavity??

I like the recurring gag where we're reminded that robots are effectively immortal

"We thought you were dead!"
"Nah, they just shot us a bunch of times and buried us in the desert as a warning"

"Boy, I'm glad you got that beam off my head when you did. Another few hundred years and I'd be done for"

i fully support "serious" actors doing dumb poo poo cartoon movies where they get to ham it up

when the latest star trek came out a bunch of people i knew were like "ohhhhh what a WASTE of idris elba, putting him in dumb monster make up to play a star trek villain"

and i was like man. idris elba plays the painfully cool handsome classy guy in every other thing ever. let him dress up in a rubber suit and stomp around growling that he's gonna DESTROY CAP-TAIN KIRK for a while. i bet it's fun

zeno's paradox works because a distance is infinitely divisible into smaller fractions without affecting its character. this "paradox" is invalid because at some point you are going to get down to one xeno and it can only be alive or dead. you can't half-kill it. sheesh

the entire genre of the wacky sadbrain self hating rich person who selfishly abuses everyone around them is regressive and should go away imo

i agree, it's extremely masturbatory

see also: movies about young scriptwriters/actors/filmmakers, who are smarter/better than everyone else but misunderstood, just trying to catch their big break in hollywood. gently caress off

e: also movies about middle aged businessmen having a crisis trying to figure out why their mansions and cars don't make them happy. especially in hollywood. gently caress off
