Eh, like any commodified pop fiction genre, it varies. Most of it is slop but there's some occasional gems in there

Honestly? It's one of the better cape movies to have come out. The script isn't without its flaws (The third act is kind of rushed and comes out of nowhere) but for what it is, it's pretty well-made. I enjoyed it a lot more than most capeshit

I just realized Batman is a terrorist. More specifically in Dark Knight. He goes to a totally different country and abducts a citizen. No due process, Habeas corpus none of that. Not to mention breaking multiple international laws. Whats more is the legal system of Gotham just runs with it. I get thats he's a vigilante, but that was basically just international terrorism.

I don't like horror, can I get anything out of this movie?

The original Cape Fear is one of the best movies with some of the most repugnantly reactionary politics.

What's the deal? I only know the Simpsons episode.

Watched The Gorge. Very stupid movie. I enjoyed the opening act, even though it's very cliche. I like the aesthetic I guess. It felt like an MGS5 cutscene kinda. Once Miles Teller and Anya Taylor Joy meet, they engage in some very embarassing cross gorge interactions. Then the movie just devolves into pure actio slop which is OK enough. The movie is too long though. 5/10

What's up with Mlies Teller. I feel like after Whiplash he was set up to be a serious artsy fartsy dramatic actor but lately he just stars in slop.

I watched Kiyoshi Kurosawa's new movie: Cloud. It's about an unscrupulous online reseller. It was alright. Has some creepy moments and a surreal air which is a trademark of this director's films. Watching some analysis of it on youtube I had to roll my eyes at people saying that the movie is about capitalism, which I guess it sort of is, but nonetheless it came off as blunt and graceless to just say it like that.

Anyway, spoiler warning. Yoshii, the main character, makes a living buying cheap shit by bulk online and then reselling that shit at a markup. He doesn't care if what he's reselling is medical equipment that people need or counterfeit goods. As a consequence of his obsession (similar to that of a gambling addict) with his "job" he alienates and/or antagonizes many people. As his business grows he moves out of his tiny apartment into a bigger house out in the country with his girlfriend, Akiko. He also hires an assistant named Sano. A local early 20s kid who failed to make it in Tokyo and had return to his home town.

The assistant is the weirdest most surreal character in the movie. He instantly becomes very interested in Yoshii's job and wants to learn all about it. He also pledges a very strange but sincere loyalty to Yoshii, claiming that he's very grateful to him for giving him a job. When Yoshii's new house gets vandalized and the police seem unwilling to help, Sano takes it upon himself to investigate who did it and catch them, which he does. Seemingly beating the delinquent up and instilling a deep fear in him.

Eventually several people whom Yoshii has wronged team up to get revenge on him. They kidnap him and plan to livestream his torture and eventual death. Sano sets out to rescue Yoshii and goes about it ruthelessly. Coldly killing several of the kidnappers until he reaches Yoshii. Onces he frees Yoshii he hands him a gun and they set out to escape from the rest of the kidnappers. Along the way Yoshii himself kills several people. At first hesitantly but with increasing ease. In the end Akiko betrays him threatening him with a gun to give her all his money. In the scuffle Sano murders Akiko and Yoshii is heartbroke about it. Yoshii and Sano escape the scene. While driving away, in the most surreal scene of the movie, Sano tells Yoshii to only focus on making money and that he'll handle the rest. Yoshii asks "Where'll that get me?", Sano responds "It'll get you anything you want. Even things that can end the woPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

My mom's planning to grow a potato. We had a tomato go pretty good for a year but got too much salt becuse we tried using sweat from washing a shirt with bottled water when the water cut off. Potatos seem hard to fumble.

Next thread should probably just be /grow/ or something. Permaculture is good but the barrier to entry should be as low as possible.

nodig too

Almost time to plant for northern hemispheroids. What you growing this year?

Watched The Thief and the Cobbler. Princess Yum Yum indeed. Shame how unfinished it is but it has its moments.
While reading up on it I came across some other animations with impressively long production times. One of them is the film in the OP so I'll have to watch that but what caught my eye is a Russian animation that is still being made–The Overcoat by Yuri Norstein. He's been working on it since 1981 and is in his 80's now so hopefully he lives to complete it.

WB is so in the shitter they want to sell the whole Looney Tunes trademark lol.

you guys heard of ongezellig? it's a web cartoon that a bunch of grew a chuddy fan base

12th place - Maid of Honor. Yeah, "wouldn't somebody think of the poor princess" may be cringy, but otherwise this is a really solid story with strong action, good characterisation of Wonder Woman, great buildup for Vandal Savage's arc and a nice recreation of the atmosphere of the Bond movies.

11th place - In Blackest Night. An attempt at courtroom drama in a superhero show, filled with plotholes and with a bit too abrupt conclusion, probably. However, this is a good introduction into Green Lantern lore for newcomers and the viewer really feels for poor John throughout the story.

10th place - Enemy Below. Superman yet again is turned into a wimp there… however, Aquaman being reimagined as gigachad more than makes up for it.

9th place - Knight of the Shadows. A GREAT character episode for Martian Manhunter, only slightly bogged down by some of the worst action scenes in the entire show and rather offensive handling of the great Merlin.

8th place - Injustice for All. The best story of season 1. Nice showcase of both heroes and villains, taking Lex Luthor's character arc in a fresh direction… and, of course, this is a Batman episode.

7th place - Comfort and Joy. An one-part long Christmas special. Well, it more than serves its purpose as a pre-Starcrossed filler?

6th place - Only a Dream. A nice "What do they fear?" episode, even though the prison riot portion of part 1 is somehow trite and soulless.

>>45480

5th place - Wild Cards. This is largely a brainless action, but really, really well-made one. And this is the episode where Green Lantern and Hawkgirl finally kiss.

4th place - Terror Beyond. I mean, it does give Hawkirl some much-needed exposition outside of her romance with John Stewart, but also… the entire part 1 could have been avoided if Dr. Fate and Aquaman weren't such secretive douchebags for no reason.

3rd place - Tabula Rasa. AMAZO is too OP and this is that one story arc that is too "big" for TV show format and probably should have been a full-length animated movie instead. However, it is a real nice character episode for Martian Manhunter, and there are great action from everyone's side (including Lex Luthor's).

2nd place - Starcrossed. The great finale of the series, what else is there to say? *gasps* HAWKGIRL WAS A TRAITOR ALL ALONG! I, however, wish they dedicated this level of excellence to some of the "normal" episodes.

The best story - Hereafter. The best rendition of the "Lol Superman is dead" storyline in the franchise, great showcase of the personalties of the Leaugers, which then turns into a showcae of what a person Clark is behind his superpowers, which turns into unexpectedly touching redemption story for Vandal Savage.

Phew.

Kia estas la kunteksto de tio?

>>45457
Ĝi estas piednoto el la libro "Aelita, aŭ la Marso formortanta", eldonita esperante en 1928. Mi trovis ĝin dum kiam mi helpis provlegi ĝin ĉe pgdp.net.

>>45458
Kio estas pgdp.net?

>>45477
Ĝi estas retpaĝo, kie oni povas provlegi librojn por "Project Gutenberg". Iu afiŝas libron al ĝi, kun bildoj (po paĝo) kaj tekstoj transskribitaj per komputilo (po paĝo). Sekve oni korektas la transskribaĵon laŭ la bildoj. La transskribado ne estas perfekta, ekzemple: ofte mi vidas ke la "j" finaĵo aperas kiel punktokomo ("plej" aperas kiel "ple;"). Ĉiu paĝo estas provlegota trifoje, per tri malsamaj personoj. Sekve oni priskribas la apero de la teksto (diklitera, kursiva, ktp.), dufoje. Finfine oni metas la paĝojn kune je libro kaj sendas ĝin al Project Gutenberg.

Bedaŭrinde la retpaĝo kaj ĝiaj instrukcioj estas en la angla, do vi devas kompreni ĝin se vi volas helpi, sed se vi ja parolas la anglan, mi rekomendas ke vi provu ĝin, estas kelkaj esperantlingvaj libroj kiuj bezonas vian helpon!

Tiktok people are obsessed with the creator. All they do is try to make up a reason to hate the show and its creator, just say you don’t like the show. Why try to cancel the author?

>Take out the dream element out of the movie whose whole selling point is exploring the dream world and Inception can still work
You understand that is not a positive, right? They wasted an interesting premise to make a generic action movie.

>What YOU are asking for on the other hand is the same Marvel-esque "muh beautiful CGI"
Really? Am I asking for that? Could you point to me where I ask for such thing? It really shows what kind of people Nolan fanboys are, I criticize the movie for lack of creativity, and all you can conceive as an alternative is Marvel.

>>45379
>You understand that is not a positive, right? They wasted an interesting premise to make a generic action movie.
A good story is a good story regardless of setting. A good story is timeless and doesn't require the specificity of a locked in setting or universe in order to be interesting.
See: Stark vs Lannister in GOT working but Dany and Dragons and White Walkers being dumb boring cgi slop. Or anime slopfest that prides itself in being incoherent.
>Really? Am I asking for that?
Prove it then and write a post explaining what you mean by "creative" because every time I've heard this complaint it's some retard who wants more spectacle that doesn't add anything to the story. Yeah I'm sure they could create a dream with aliens in it that would be more "creative" doesn't meant that it's not a retarded idea.

>>45393
>A good story is a good story regardless of setting. A good story is timeless and doesn't require the specificity of a locked in setting or universe in order to be interesting.
Yes it fucking does, if the setting is actually utilized in it. You cant strip LOTR of fantasy, you couldnt make Jurasic Park without the dinosaurs, or to give an example of another Nolan movie, Interstellar had to be in space, because the setting is core part of the movie.

By creative I mean exploring the human psyche, the unconscious mind, desires and anxieties. World unbount by reality principle. Seriously, do you have many CGI battles in dreams?

And the thing is the moment it becomes acceptable to hate something, everybody jumps on the bandwagon and attacks the work and the individual with the most nonsensical criticisms imaginable.

As many people often say we live in a society where you are expected to be always positive and not be “too” negative or you will be criticised as illogical or too aggressive, until it is fine to be angry at some specific thing and only then you can be angry and even illogical.


This hyper positive criticism/mild criticism is a new thing in my opinion, a decade ago it was perfectly normal for youtubers to have entire brands built around aimlessly shitting on movies, games etc. I think it kind of started with the new generation of critics who have been extremely toothless and mild with their criticism and thus normalised this kind of behaviour.

>>45474
I think the dynamics have shifted. AVGN made his brand based off hating games that were objectively shitty and/or frustrating, without the expectations of it being a serious critique or that the video being on product beyond itself. Now the expectation has shifted towards more in depth critique, but also the channel brand is supposed to be a vehicle for the artist. You want to get plugs and special access and corpo bennies and shit for your work, and you don't get that by shitting on their products.

TBH it's probably an effort on YouTube's part too to promote content that doesn't alienate their corporate neighbors by trashing their products, just like their other censorship.
