Is there a movie that uses artifacting/pixelating in the visuals to show signs of mental anguish? There's internet stuff but I can't think of a film that does it.

Discussing your love of violent porn in open conversation is in the same category of inappropriate as making rape jokes, sure - it's trivialising and mocking something that's unpleasantly commonplace in society, and easily ties in to a wider culture of sexism. But that's not the desire itself, which is generally accepted to be complicated and hard to universally unpick - or to take it another way, should rape survivors be able to make jokes about their experience?

These don't seem like the best issues to try and conclusively resolve in the movie chat thread, in any event. No-one is trivialising anything here and hopefully no-one will.

That's the weirdness with Demolition Man, it's half the world of PC gone mad and half the world of absolute globalisation where Taco Bell controls the food supply, but ultimately it's ambivalent, bordering on positive about both of those things. Stallone's character really does like knitting now.

Superman III is kinda fun if a bit messy and tired, Superman IV is full madness.

And I'm a big fan of Man of Steel but the divide on that one is still real.

STAS is a little dull mostly but eventually peaks into one really good run for a kid's cartoon, but it suffers by comparison to BTAS which was just leagues ahead in terms of artistry.

I liked it! Toby McGuire does an excellent reprise of his shithead Peter Parker character.

Watched From Here to Eternity last night. Extremely solid, and I finally understand the Ernest Borgnine joke in the Simpsons now.

IIRC it's actually specifically based on a different irl dude, Murdoch is just the one people think of when it comes to monstrous british media tycoons who start wars for the ratings

Robert Maxwell, now of "father to Ghislaine" fame, plus the visual look of Steve Jobs which is oddly inspired for 1997 .

Although if you're taking inspiration from powerful evil men for your villain it's probably a good idea to insist to your last breath that you were only making fun of the dead ones.

Now if you want a really unambiguous Murdoch death, there's the season 3 finale of Sherlock.

'method acting' is a red herring really, the truth is just that a certain percentage of actors, even really great actors, are irretrievably up their own arse.

There are quality blended whiskies out there and I'm sure the names of any of them will come back to me soon.

A single ice cube is fairly respectable, although I'll admit I'm pushing it with my very large single ice sphere.
