The Flood / Re: We need to get a beer thread going.
« on: August 03, 2016, 04:44:25 PM »
My father was a brewmaster at a pub, and with what little time I spent with him, I obtained the knowledge of making decent batches.

Any chance you'd make an instructional thread about this sometime?

Why not sugar?

Kettle corn, basically? I prefer savory over sweet.

Theyre two different stories from two different authors on two different websites... How is this hypocrisy?


Wow I swear when I looked at the one he posted the fonts looked completely different :/

They're different in the OP; it just turns out that the author really is a hypocrite.

Smuttynose is solid. NH has a lot of good brewing going on.

OT my favorite beer is Sam Smith's Oatmeal Stout, but most of the Sam Smith label is really solid (especially their chocolate stout). Anything made by Lagunitas is swill.

If you're looking for the Peculiar Doll, and feel like you've looked everywhere, you might want to consider checking somewhere you haven't been in a while.

The Flood / Re: I honestly don't get Citizen Kane
« on: August 01, 2016, 04:46:19 PM »
Art is subjective so there's really no point trying to force you to like something, but I sincerely believe it stands up to modern film and excels in writing and cinematography in such a way that few modern films even attempt. Charles Foster Kane is a fantastic character with more complexity than 90% of male protagonists today. Welles basically invented the modern anti-hero, and pulls it off better than most.

It's not the best movie ever, but it's a very respectable one.

It's not filler, it's just a narrative structure you're not used to.

Narrative structure doesn't have anything to do with it; a lot of what Joyce does, for example, has no impact on the story and exists just to have her character doing things. The entirety of the scenes in her house with the lights have no bearing on the plot or other characters until Nancy and Jonathan stumble into it, and even then it ultimately leads to the monster escaping and nothing getting done. It also makes the "rules" of the alternate dimension kind of confusing: can the monster appear anywhere? How can Will interact with the lights when there's seemingly no overlap between the two dimensions anywhere else, and he's shown to be exhausted and unconscious? Why is the gate so important if the monster can manifest anywhere it wants?

Those are rhetorical, and I'm not criticizing it for being filler, I'm answering the title of the thread.
Shit opinions.

Your avatar is of Joyce, but you don't like her scenes?

It's Super 8 with more filler.
Except Super 8 was a tryhard piece of shit, and Stranger Things has no filler at all. Every single line develops the plot or characters in some way. It's like you're constantly going out of your way to have the most fucking retarded opinions imaginable.

I really like Stranger Things. The comparison to Super 8 wasn't an insult, and there's a lot of respect paid to Spielberg in the series. As for filler, almost all of the adults' story arcs are expository in nature. They exist to complete the world, but rarely add anything to the story.

How was the animation? The trailers made it seem very lackluster.

Pretty terrible, in some parts. Like, 90s cartoon quality.

The Flood / Spoiler Batman: The Killing Joke
« on: July 26, 2016, 05:37:39 PM »
Batman/Batgirl fucking was dumb, but besides that the adaptation was really faithful. The song in the tunnel was weird and the ending just didn't have the same feeling. But damn, it was cool to have Mark Hamill and Kevin Conroy doing voices in this.

Despite being a near panel-for-panel adaptation, the graphic novel was still a better format for this story.

That said, Russia has been doing shit like flying warplanes in British airspace, conducting wargames, engaged in mass mobilisation of troops etc.

And to be fair, we do the same things to them.

I get that they basically had to give the crew superpowers to quickly establish their traits, but come on.
