Nuns with Guns posted:Those videos are her raw psyche so idk what the gently caress else you're supposed to do with them? And I'm not excusing her failings. I've said plenty of times in this very loving thread that those videos are awkward at best and a dumb idea to share on her main platform when they're moment-by-moment feelings she has over any substance or fact, and are often things she moves away from (like she's already admitted she doesn't agree with whatever point she was attempting in The Aesthetic but that doesn't stop her from leaving it up there.) Okay but what about the psyche represented by....all the 'cool' non-video essay things she's said about Non-binary people? Those don't factor in at all to your reading of it?

Mr Phillby posted:I really dug the show when it started but I dipped out when it became clear that every series would end with one/both of the brothers going to hell/heaven/purgatory and have a season long arc recovering from the experience before it happened again. I think this was somewhere around series 5. Season 5 is where the original show runners dropped out and it kind of is a perfect end for the goofy fun monster hunting show that it started out as. And then it kept going. For a loving decade. But also I dunno why people keep harping on the Goop Double Hell poo poo. That's just where angels go when they die. The gay angel has already been resurrected from that place once before. It aint nothing.

Dias posted:Wow, Supernatural went places. Did you know they killed Death? Twice? They're trying to kill god who is the literal author of the show because they as characters have realized the thing keeping them from being happy, the thing that is constantly setting them up for tragedy and pain, is the author himself. Seasons 6-11 kind of blew but these last few have really ramped up the stupid in interesting ways. I'm glad I caught back up during quarantine thanks to netflix.

Terrible Opinions posted:The 2006 Casino Royale is actually a really good entry point, which makes the failure of its followups all the more disappointing. Unless Skyfall was actually good, it's the only one I didn't see. 2006 Casino Royale and Skyfall are about as good as each other IMO. Skyfall might be a bit better if you can stomach Bond Backstory Focus. QoS is an overly edited mess that can barely keep itself going and Specter is....Trying to be DEEP JAMES BOND LORE where all the previous good things actually didn't matter it was this guy actually and it's....really bad.

McCloud posted:Uncomfortable depictions of violence is practically Snyders calling card, but it seems some folks didn't get the memo (See: World of spite video linked a few pages back) or think it's some sort of endorsement of randian objectivism. Turns out that when you strip away the power fantasy elements and depict the consequences of knocking a dude through a building as horrific instead of cool people lose their minds. But if you set mass murder to a jaunty tune then it's cool and awesome! It probably helps that the entire erst of those bits of surrounding those two shots. One of them has the cast of heroes and villains saving people evacuating with very little damage to the surroundings outside of that shot and like one more building where the slap fight with Bats and Darkseid happen in. The other is just one tiny portion of a fight scene that goes on entirely too long that is 50% building damage/collateral death by weight. To the point that one of the snyder movies opens with batman on the ground during one of the attacks just to emphasize the absolute death and carnage it caused, lol. As always, yeah these shots are superficially similar, but the context of the writing and the tone and the rest of the film are part of what causes people to have a negative impression of it.

Bingo Cop Metis posted:Yeah, that's what I find interesting about Snyder's superhero movies. Obviously it's not for everyone, but I like that his consequential violence co-exists alongside the more cartoonishly framed violence in the MCU, where the 9/11 equivalent event killed a couple hundred people. See it's what makes the whole thing feel even more juvenile than the normal super hero poo poo. Going "Wow if this was realistic itd be way more hosed up and brutal" was a line of thinking that was bled dry of interesting commentary by the time I was 14.

McCloud posted:Pointing out that violence has ugly consequences is cool and good actually, especially in an age where 99% of it is sanitized and normalized. Nothing Snyder has done has done it as deftly or skillfully as Kamen Rider Kuuga a children's superhero show that came out in 2000. Itd be cool and good if it was done well or with anything more to it than the fairly banal take that's been done better by the genre its critiquing for at least 40 years.

Babysitter Super Sleuth posted:Most of the people I know who have read and like The Fountainhead are not randisns, because while it is insane it is also (shockingly) one of Rand’s less actively didactic books and, besides fuckin’ anthem, usually the one non-politically minded people are most likely to know and have read. They didn't say "who has read The FOuntainhead" they said "Thinks it's a good book". Mr Phillby posted:I think the fundamental problem with the argument that Man of Steel and its ilk are serious examinations of the consequences of violence is that they absolutely aren't what are you talking about. The violence didn't make me uncomfortable it made me bored because the city level destruction was treated with the same gravatas as in a Transformers movie. Yeah ultimately this is what I mean by Snyder's version of this extremely cold take is extremely poorly done. It's trying to make you uncomfortable but it never really sits with any actual human reaction long enough to actually make you uncomfortable. The violence is usually done to property or scales so big you can't feel anything about it because you're in reality just watching a bunch of CGI buildings fall on one another. the closest he gets to it are the opening of BvS which is mostly just Ben Affleck Stone Face going "NONONONO THE HORROR", the twenty seconds of screentime the home life of the former Wayne Industries worker who Lex is setting up is given, and the actual titular fist fight the movie is about and even that last one, which is all just close ups of two dudes slapping each other as hard as they can still goes for glamour over horror and shock because they get up afterwards like it didn't happen and go fight the real villain. Again, I see what he's trying to do, he just does it very very poorly because at the end of the day he's kind of a dumb guy that likes to see wicked cool slow mo punches. The rest of the movie is Superman sadly looking at TV's or tubthumping in what looks like ice cold water and Jesse Eisenberg capering around pissing into open mason jars.

It's such a loving poorly do The neck snap scene is....so poorly directed and acted that it's comical. Like, actually got laughs in the theater I saw the film in comical. It's kind of a perfect example of what I mean by "Snyder's trying for something but is also kind of incredibly stupid in ways." Jimbot posted:9/11 I'm sorry you shouldn't have started with this cause the idea of someone saying "The film doesn't do a great job exploring the character and their motivation outside of a few background elements and, largely, leaving the viewer to imagine whatever they need to to make sense" and the response is "9/11 Did it!" is....the funniest poo poo.

Schwarzwald posted:Are you criticizing Snyder or F. Scott Fitzgerald? Why not both? Jimbot posted:I mean, that's what people, and that post, are referring that event to and the imagery isn't exactly subtle. After 9/11 the US government enacted the worst piece of privacy destroying and civil liberty infringing piece of legislation in history with the majority backing of the US population. Even being remotely critical of the US during this time was met with some pretty severe hostility. It's not exactly a stretch to say "this world's version of 9/11 broke a man" or "it served as the catalyst for Yes I know. That's why I said I was reacting to how you said it. You could have said "The events of the previous film" or something but just going "9/11." up front was funny. ZenMasterBullshit fucked around with this message at 19:09 on Nov 28, 2020 |

marathon Stairmaster sesh posted:The only thing I know about Kamen Rider is that Segata Sanshiro's actor played a Rider. Which Kamen is the best one to start from? Kuuga is a much older show but a bit darker in tone (Most of the motw bad guys are basically framed as serial killers in a mystery thriller) so that's a unique and honestly all time high for the franchise. If you want something recent Build is fairly consistent good and interesting outside of a small stretch right at the end. Ex-Aid is...an insanely goofy premise (Video game based disease fought by doctors) that Goes Places, like the villain basically being John Activision who only refers to the rest of the cast as their Product name kinda places. Slightly less recent is OOO and W (or Double). If you want something that's lighthearted and more character drama focused but with a lot of heart please check out Den-O. If you need to find good subs for them please come to the Toku thread in the Anime subforum so that this thread doesn't become me and Dr. What talking about how good Kamen rider is. BizarroAzrael posted:Certainly compelling, how worthwhile is prior knowledge of the franchise? Is it self-contained or part of a larger continuity? Most riders, outside of summer movies of dubious canonicity are entirely self contained. There's two anniversary shows that do crossovers as their gimmicks. There's a little crossover here and there like Agito was originally going to be a straight sequel to Kuuga but that get s dropped like 3 eps in outside of one or two lines acknowledging the events of Kuuga happened. You're basically fine to just get a rider show and start at episode 1 and go with it. a little * With OOO about that tho, it's got a 2 parter that's mostly just goofing around that's celebrating the franchises 1000th (Get it? 1 OOO ) episode that's mostly in jokes about old old rider poo poo. You can mostly just skip that if the jokes do nothing for you ZenMasterBullshit fucked around with this message at 01:03 on Nov 29, 2020 |

josh04 posted:For one beautiful, ignorant moment there I thought "Huh, what has JJ Abrams been up to lately?" I will say this in JJ's defense. He made a movie that was so horrifically terrible in its editting and pacing and how much it just loathed you the viewer and the story it was telling that was also a billion dollars of expensive gorgeous CGI and effects that it created a feeling in me that no film before had. That feeling was "gently caress all movies forever. T his is a dead medium only for the most blighted souls. This film is a harbinger of the end times". And while seeing Knives out 2 weeks later at a cheaper theater filled me with some hope, time proved me right.

The SPECIAL system in FO4 might be the shottiest level up mechanics I've seen in a video game in a long time. It never ever felt good to get a level outside the 1 to two times you finally got the skills gating you out of the next tier of weapon upgrades for your weapon type of choice. Even going for a full sniper specialized build with max perception felt completely boring and flaccid. Combine this with not being able to see how your stats actually affected conversations (or even what you were actually going to say in convos) outside of an incredibly vague color gradient saying 'Maybe you'll pass this I dunno ...." made all of your choices feel pointless It's like Bethesda'a only design goal was to double down on how lovely and pointless all their perks were by just making them all bad and having you spend levels to unlock the ability to spend levels to unlock options later. FO4 might be the shittiest big budget big studio game I've ever played between the game being empty outside of their lovely city builder and randomly generated quests tied to them, the skill system, and the story being blade runner for idiots but with Deathclaws ZenMasterBullshit fucked around with this message at 04:53 on Dec 22, 2020 |

CYBEReris posted:launch overwatch had some "just loving around" tf2 energy that seemed to dissipate really quickly around all modes when ranked was added, it was kinda sad to experience The problem with OW was that it was always 6v6 and incredibly focused on its objectives so even 1 person goofing around just killed any chance you had to progress and thus open up the map to goofing off more. TF2 doing 12 or 20 man teams lets like half the server just Goof or Team Deathmatch while a handful pushes the cart or whatever. Also the maps were infinitely shittier. Every OW map is 2fort/Turbine level garbage.
