2017: Unpopular opinions thread
« on: January 06, 2017, 01:29:13 PM »
- Acting is mostly about being good looking enough to get someone to give you the chance. Most people if given the resources and time that most actors are given could deliver as good an acting job as a vast majority of actors (there are of course a few exceptions for true talent like Meryl Streep, Daniel day-lewis, etc)

- U2's early 90s stuff where they abandoned their old sound and went the decadent way trying to emulate Velvet Underground, Iggy Pop and Bowie had promise and it, by far, their best stuff (in that it's bearable). They should have continued down that path

- Marvel/Star wars movies are just dumb fun. People trying to ascribe criticism to them about artistic or social elements are silly. Kinda like doing an in-depth review of a candy bar. Same goes 99% of games. Don't waste time discussing the gender issues of Doom. Just get in there and kick ass.

- Nirvana was lucky Kurt offed himself when he did, they were going downhill fast

- Almost anyone can look sexy in a photo shoot, but the key is you gotta try. I've seen a lot of these :females taking frumpy pics of themselves to combat body shaming. It's completely counter productive. If you want to stop body shaming, you don't do that by making your body look flabbier and frumpier. You do that by taking your body and making the best out of it you can, let people see that you're confident and sexy. Lane Bryant does this quite well.

- Judd Atapow is an unfunny and ham-fisted one trick pony. The only thing he did worthwhile was Freaks and Geeks (but even that is over-rated)

- I kinda like the rebooted Star Trek films.

We're probably due for more breaking down of the liberal world order and more return to national sovereignty and perhaps it's needed. Though I guess with election results it's clear it's not an unpopular opinion...

- Most people are every bit as boring and lazy as you are.  Taking pictures of some food they grabbed at a hole in the wall ethnic restaurant and posting it on their Facebook/Instagram doesn't make them interesting people.

- I feel like an idiot saving for retirement.  I get the feeling in the next 35-40 years, there will be some serious shit that goes down that either gets the savings confiscated, inflation turns it into nothing, or something that will make it a waste of time.  Yet I'd hate to be wrong so I'm hedging my bets by saving but I'm going to be pissed if I was better off blowing that money on coke and (more) hookers.

- Video games in general are just a waste of time and money.

- Lethal Weapon is kinda bad, totally unimaginative film. Mel Gibson is hilarious in it though.
- The Sin City movie is lazy, ugly trash and The Spirit is by far the superior Frank Miller effort (even if only one third of it is watchable).
- Robocop 2 is very decent and the best adaptation of the Dark Knight Returns live.
- Basic Instinct is shit, the music is super grating, one of Verhoeven low points with Hollow Man.
- The Batman film from the sixties might be the best for this characters. The Burton film have awesome art direction but are very clunky otherwise.
- The Total Rekall remake is a better SF action film than I, Robot. Proyas overall is not a very good director.
- GI Joe : Rise of Cobra is a good action film, better than most of the superhero stuff.
- Happy Feet is morally repulsive.
- Old Boy as well.
- Kickass too, on top of being a poor mish mash of Captain Orgazmo and Raimi's Spiderman.
- Blade Runner didn't need to be edited 4 or 5 different times. The theatrical ending was fine as is and more interesting than trying to give a definitive conclusion on the protagonist.
- Moonraker is a quality Bond flick, the best with Moore perhaps.
- Craig's Casino Royale is meh, Skyfall's last act is pure trash ruining the whole thing, Quantum of Solace is not that bad. I'd rate Tomorrow Never Dies better than all of those.
- Speaking of, Goldfinger is overrated. The camera work is lackluster, total downgrade from Terence Young.
- Indiana Jones : The Last Crusade is mediocre, outright bad at places (that intro  :maf). Stephen Sommers's The Mummy Returns is leagues better than Indiana Jones : Kingdom of the Crysta Skull that xeroxed its final for some reason.
- Death Proof is the worst Tarantino movie by a mile.
- Zodiac by Fincher is pretty trite and boring.
- John Woo's The Killer aged terribly and is often total schlok (true for most of his HK classics).
- Shaolin Soccer and Kung Fu Hustle are actually fairly weak entries for Stephen Chow. Give me God of Gamblers III anyday over the latter.

Huh? The ending from the non-theatrical cut versions are arguably less conclusive than the theatrical cut ending. And there's really only two other cuts: the 90s Director's Cut [which Ridley Scott wasn't involved with] and 2007's Final Cut [which he was involved with].

* Shit uninformed opinions included.
Got the impression that the theatrical cut didn't really comment on Deckard while much of the Scott ones were more clear that we were supposed to understand he's a replicant (which IMO is counterproductive and totally misses the point, namely that Replicants are humans, philosophically speaking).
The 92 DC includes the unicorn symbol which suggest Deckard is a replicant. Likewise in the Final Cut.

- Italo disco is awesome.
- Brian Bolland art is iconic but way too stiff, both on Dredd and The Killing Joke. Gibson and McMahon are the better Dredd artists.
- Speaking of Ian Gibson, Halo Jones is perhaps Alan Moore best work.
- Frank Miller's famous Daredevil run has some corny shit in it, namely Stick and to an extent Elektra. Born Again is amazing tho.
- World War Z is a page turner but the book is pretty mediocre.
- Conan the Destroyer is unfairly maligned.
- Kubrick's Clockwork Orange is dated and meh.

I don't think the theatrical cut even hinted at the possibility that Deckard wasn't human. The other cuts included the unicorn dream that Deckard has which, when combined with the origami unicorn that Deckard finds in his apartment at the end of the movie, suggest that Deckard could be a replicant and Gaff [Edward James Olmos' character] knew about it. But it's not really cut and dry, though, and apparently Ridley Scott and Harrison Ford still argue about it all the time.

Stranger Things was absolute garbage.

Garbage? I wouldn't go that far...it was entertaining enough for me to watch it until the end. But it was shallow and uninspired and didn't have much going for it outside of the nostalgia pandering and a couple fun characters. The most fun I had watching it was shitting on the poor writing with a like minded friend.

The Force Awakens is a solid and fun movie. Anyone who brings up the "it's just A New Hope again" criticism is a fucking annoying unoriginal twat. Yes, it was and that's part of why it was fun to me. The whole thing is a 'remember star wars" feelz movie and Jesus after the sterile prequels thank god.

Rogue One was pretty good.

Marvel movies are very sterile looking, though not totally bad. Marvel tends to just look and feel far more simple then say DC....This goes for comics too.

DC has far better storytelling than Marvel when it comes to comics.

Batman Vs Superman is a really really flawed movie, but it tackles interesting material and is somewhat interesting. It has a lot more to chew on then say your average Marvel movie. Suicide Squad was garbage and Civil War, Winter Soldier, and so on are pretty fun movies.

Iron Man 3 was great and fuck people who's main point of criticism is "well it's not like the original material".

Internet media Criticism should be more positive. I really enjoy reviews where people look at what worked while also talking about what the problems are.

Transgender issues do make me uneasy. While I think everyone should live there life the way they chose to. I'm not sure how I myself respond to a transgender person. It's not my right obviously and I'll make sure I acknowledge the person the way they want to, but I do believe whatever your born as is what you are.

Final Fantasy XIII was solid and the series is general still excites me.

Nolan's Batman was great. Perfect mix of taking it seriously and still being about a superhero. Action scenes suck though.

As much as you say that it won't happen to you, everything you will listen to for the rest of your life will be based on the music you liked when you were 14-18. You might find new band but they're just going to be variations on what you liked then

Quote from: Rest (GAF)
Add to that there's a fairly limited window in which we find music that we really really love, which is somewhere between 13 years old and maybe 20 for most people. If you don't discover something within that window you're going to like it much less than you would have if you'd heard it during that time.

Are you sure this in an unpopular opinion? I'm not sure who first put it forward that it's become so adopted but I've read it from several posters over time, even though I haven't found it to be true personally. I've also introduced others to music vastly different from their regular tastes and they've become fans, so... *shrug.png*

Maybe like the previous poster I just listened to enough variety during that time.

When I was 16-18 I mostly listened to britrock like muse and feeder and rnbI haven't listened to or followed that music in years. Though I've listened to rnb my whole life and will continue to do so I got into electronic and hip hop in my late teens and 20's and never looked back. So this doesn't make any sense and feels like a projection.

The scenes with the Zodiac killer were very intense, I'll give it that. The rest though bored me to tears and I found it soulless. As often with Fincher, I had the feeling he approached the whole thing as a sport or purely technical performance (Marvel at our computer recreated 1970's San Francisco ! Aren't you amazed by THIS shot ?!) coupled to some of the stiffness you often find in period films.

There's the whole "Well it's the real life story that inspired Dirty Harry" :smug thing worked into the narrative and that's the problem : I'd rather be watching the Siegel film. Even with all the artistic license they're taking, it nails the same sort of high points (creepiness and capturing how poisonous and volative the city is) without the pompousness.

The Force Awakens is a solid and fun movie. Anyone who brings up the "it's just A New Hope again" criticism is a fucking annoying unoriginal twat. Yes, it was and that's part of why it was fun to me. The whole thing is a 'remember star wars" feelz movie and Jesus after the sterile prequels thank god.
:confused
Why are you confused? It's undenearibly invoking a New Hope, but that is not an automatic hit against the movie. I've seen many people online and real life bring it up like they are being insightful and are the first to see the connection and then leave the argument at that.

Humanity and the Earth should be shepherded by a benevolent and highly intelligent AI that will protect us from our own collective greed and stupidity.

I've read Battle Angel Alita. I know where this leads.
