I really want to understand why one of the greatest directors in film history decided to do a movie based on a middling litRPG novel.

Serious / Re: Should police be allowed to kill you if you don't follow directions?« on: March 27, 2018, 11:25:41 PM »All I'm saying fam, is that if I ain't threatening the livelihood of that cop and he pulls a firearm on me, I should 100% be within my rights to draw my own firearm and pre-emptively kill that cop before he illegally kills me. You are, but your life is 100% fucked afterwards. 64
Serious / Re: Should police be allowed to kill you if you don't follow directions?« on: March 27, 2018, 10:02:28 PM »You can only kill a person that is directly threatening the safety and lives of others. I think it's reasonable to say that for every instance of wrongful killing by a cop, apart from instances of intentional abuse of power, the cops don't intend to simply murder a citizen and act because they feel the individual is a mortal danger to themselves or others. 65

The idea that you live on in people's memories is nice and sentimental, but you're also dead, so it's not like you can give a shit about that

The Flood / Re: Avengers: Infinity War - Official Trailer« on: March 16, 2018, 01:34:53 PM »at least two heroes need to die in order for this movie to be worthwhile One running theory is that Thanos gets the stones and effectively kills off half the cast, allowing them to reboot characters and introduce others, giving some of the earlier actors like RDJ and Chris Evans a way to bow out of the franchise 72

The San Antonio Riverwalk is great, and if you're into shooting you can basically do it anywhere off the road.

The Flood / Re: Annihilation« on: March 15, 2018, 05:08:55 PM »I've heard it's a bit long winded and pretentious, plus I wasn't all that impressed with Ex Machina, so I'll probably give it a miss. I normally like pretentious arthouse shit, but this movie definitely is neither. The ending isn't a huge action scene where the Strong Woman kills the evil alien monster, and it certainly doesn't tell you exactly what happened or what the movie meant, but it doesn't feel apart from mainstream. Something like Alien: Covenant is what I would describe as 'long winded and pretentious'. 78

Great film, and entirely female-led. A touch of body horror, but don't let that turn you off if you're not into that. It's one of the more genuinely unique sci-fi premises to come out in a long time, and I look forward to reading the original novel. Some of the acting was less than stellar, but the movie does a great job of presenting believable characters in an unthinkable situation. I think numerical ratings are reductionist, so I'll just say if you're at all a fan of sci-fi thrillers or horror like Alien, Event Horizon, Dead Space, or even Under the Skin, definitely check it out. Don't watch trailers.

Shape of Water was a boring amalgamation of other GDT films. The story (and main character) of Pan's Labyrinth with Abe from Hellboy.

Gaming / Re: When you play the Souls games...« on: March 05, 2018, 09:44:22 PM »
Yep, I looked up some stat and upgrade mechanics, and on my subsequent playthroughs I usually check guides as I go for specific items I didn't find originally. With shit like illusory walls and timed events (like, do x before doing y to get z) I think it really enhances your experience, and Demon's Souls world tendencies, it's basically mandatory.

The shitty thing is that Destiny is on the brink of being a fantastic game. The unbelievable grind for cosmetics is fucking boring though, and I don't get how people can continue play after beating the raid a couple times. They base the entire endgame on making your armor look cool, but I can honestly say that at no time did I give a shit what other people were wearing. And the pvp is just a dumb fucking mess of abilities, supers, unbalanced guns, and heavies.

The negative aspect of GMOs is the monopoly Monsanto holds over a lot of the seeds and technology, not their nutritional value.

Serious / Re: Florida school shooting - 17+ dead« on: February 25, 2018, 11:35:05 PM »The only difference between the AR platform from civilian use to military use is the option of fully automatic fireThat's an enormous difference. It's what makes the AR-15 a non-military-grade, non-assault-rifle. Hell, you canucks can go purchase an M14, a weapon that was actually used in wars. In the context of murdering a bunch of people in close range without much thought towards accuracy or other ballistic considerations, how is holding an AR-15 different from an M14? How is it different from a semi-automatic handgun? The specificity of banning one type of gun is reactionary and unreasonable. Quote Either the age of purchasing, more in dept checks or any other form of option that may arise. Gun's don't kill people kill people.Cliches are cute, but we actually do strictly control the ownership of vehicles. They require extensive training and a valid license, insurance, and registration. And when people abuse their access to vehicles or demonstrate incompetence, that access is revoked. Do you believe weapons should be regulated like vehicles? Because I don't think that's a terrible idea. |
