With subs like r/truegaming you're probably right but the down/upvote system isn't good for discussion because it can hide legitimate positions if it goes against the status quo.

It's not so well suited to long-term discussions either. Not sure the reason they introduced the 6 month posts lock but it adds to the effect of constantly generating new submissions for the same post content, and fragmenting discussion. Personally prefer forum style formats. Also helps with recognizing posters.

To prevent stealth karma boosts/brigading. Karma should just be removed entirely. Pointless. Make it the Slashdot "you are randomly picked now and then to 'moderate' judge comments" system.

Nolan's Batman films were just filmed gritty and dark. I'm always surprised that people consider them dark in terms of content or containing some kind of plot. Especially for Batman, it's like people are always comparing things to the 1960's Batman TV show or Batman and Robin or something. I remember people calling the Arkham games dark, when they're nowhere near your standard plot in the comics, and the first two are set in prisons from hell ffs.

Funny enough there's a thread on GAF complaining about Batman Returns. The people complaining about it being a slog while loving Nolan's six hour plotless framing issues are weirder than the Russian conspiracy mobs.

Also, I might contend Batman Forever is secretly the "darkest" of the films but Jim Carrey and Tommy Lee Jones' hamming it up distracts you from what's actually going on in it. Joel Schumacher claims there's an alternate more serious cut he made that cuts some of that for more Bruce Wayne scenes, I'm not sure I believe him (although the comic/novel adaptions apparently hint at it because they were written more off the script), but I'd like to see it someday. After Batman and Robin he initially was trying to make a serious version of Year One when they decided they'd do a soft reboot so maybe he was doing more of what Warner wanted with his final cut.

I've seen pics from cut scenes of Forever so it probably does exist.

B&R isn't all that bad. It's basically the Adam West show in Burton trappings.

The secret is that GAF is actually not that leftist, at least not on all counts. If even that because GAF is fairly heterogeneous if not schizophrenic (being built around the hot mess of geek culture doesn't help). I mean the self proclaimed political elite is pushing what is essentially moderate left orthodoxy, a very US centric one at that (which shows when challenged, like here, on the narrative of the USA as a benevolent force for the world) and has been for several months shutting down everyone perceived as a potential "radical" "hijacker" of the DNC monopoly.

People like YOU and ME (I worked for 550 hours in NH to make sure Democrats won the federal races) should be calling the shots here on who does and doesn't help the democrats not these so-called-progressives who do nothing but post on forums about how everything is bad because of "neoliberalism".

GAF has been parroting the neoliberal establishment's corporate propaganda for the last half decade something that happened almost exclusively because of its moderation, they have nothing to do with the left. Personally I had junior accounts of mine nuked because I dared to defend Latin American socialist governments, Russia and other enemies of the Western hegemony (always relatively to the West's actions).

For the record identity politics nutjobs aren't left, they're just another symptom of neoliberalism co-opting and using as a distraction the psychotic ideology of a bunch of French tankies that developed an ideology as authoritarian and fucked up as Stalinism was. The path this abomination of an ideology has taken is certainly an interesting one, I could rant about it forever but I suspect no one gives a shit about it.

Cue Evilore pre-written standard response to copy-paste every couple of months.

My advertisement and editorial team forgot to page me those new developments, action have been taken, responsibles punished and my technicians are working 24/7 (two burnouts and one casualty so far, they're hard workers!) to get to the bottom of this. Those problems will be fixed shortly, please whitelist the site and send me an e-mail, for I am the legal guardian of the inheritance of Aliko Adenuga, an African billionaire with no known relative, and I would like to make you a very honest proposal for our mutual benefit.

Just in case anything gets through despite that, then there's the user reporting function to let us know.

Ad quality should immediately improve as a result of the tech, whether anyone utilizes the reporting functionality or not. But, of course, this allows for a clear, simple, functional avenue for reporting bad ads instead of users perhaps not knowing what to do if they encounter one.

bonus world history primer:

Basically, as soon as the world became more "globalized" around the end of the 19th century, it was inevitable that there were going to be nations playing for the role "world police". For a while the closest thing to a superpower was Great Britain, until around the time of Teddy Roosevelt and the Spanish-American war that the US started becoming a major player. Then around WW2 you had the Soviet Union become a super-power as Great Britain was become less and less of a superpower.

What does Sylvester Stallone think of the Republican frontrunner? “I love Donald Trump,” he said. “He’s a great Dickensian character. You know what I mean? There are certain people like Arnold, Babe Ruth, that are bigger than life. But I don’t know how that translates”—he let out a laugh—“to running the world.”

I like the Phantom Menace
http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1331810

 

Phantom Menace is probably the most universally reviled movie that I genuinely like. Not in a guilty pleasure or ''it's so bad it's good'' way

Seeing something as simple as the clunky Trade Federation alien lip movement just warms my heart more than any CGI jedi battle from AOTC could.There is a ton of CGI in the film but it still feels much more restrained compared to Clones and Sith that look too clean almost all the time. That's probably one reason why I like Phantom Menace so much, it looks great without feeling too fake. It feels like an actual world again.

 (Image removed from quote.)

Umm, TPM is way less universally hated than Attack of the Clones.

[agrajag]

TPM is pretty shit, Jar Jar is not fine.

[Let's Cyber]

I've seen you around kiddo.

[benjipwns]

I kinda like Qui Gon. Considering the Jedi were kinda supposed to know all that kind of stuff, he's the only one who shows any knowledge of other cultures or people. Plus he exploits it. Other than Palpatine seemed like the only dude who knew what he was doing in the prequels.

Darth Maul is still almost the best Sith dude on film I think.

Him just stopping and looking like he's making a mental note "should totally kill that dude" when Qui Gon escapes him and makes him look like a fool on Tattooine.

Him just grabbing debris to open a door behind him while nobody else seems to use the force for anything but flipping around and grabbing lightsabers that have fallen out of reach.

Pacing while Qui Gon meditates as they wait for the laser door things to open. 

I'd argue it's the only prequel with a coherent plot too.

Also, those Senate debate scenes.

[benjipwns]

Outside of space battles, the CGI isn't really that good in any of them though, like even in ROTS you can always tell they're struggling to figure out how to act with the CGI characters.

Also, the real life actors.

I don't think TPM is actually really that reviled outside of some fan circles anymore than the rest of the prequels, just thought really boring or disappointing. After the 3D re-release, it's the second highest grossing Star Wars film, with TFA being #1. It's Rotten Tomatoes and imdb user scores aren't way out of the norm.

I guess I mean it's not exactly treated like V: The Final Frontier is for the Trek films.

Even though V has the one of the greatest lines ever put to film. And the Kirk/Spock/McCoy interplay throughout probably make it better than TPM's characters...shared scenes with dialogue in them?
