I felt like asking devs to remove content in a month after years of allowing this stuff and making money out of it is a shit move regardless of “loli is/isn’t CP” sperging.

That Gaspard Noé thread was amazing. So typical of nerd culture and why I hate it despite having grown up as one. Transparently envious and getting so hard at the idea of being the alpha of the cultural totem pole they can't help but lash at everything to drag it down to the level of their artistic mud out of insecurity.
But, imagine thinking Black Panther isn't the most relevant blockbuster film in like a decade.

Gasper is like Lars Von Trier, a tear-stained semi-literate shock jock...

Just comes off as an edgelord

I at least thought he was a prominent voice in the black community but he's not so what's the point?

It’s basically a white supremacist dog whistle to make up stupid reason to hate Black Panther, yell it on the mountain and then hide behind a dislike of “superhero action movies”

Fair enough. Just saying that the arty film circuit probably is not interested in the summer blockbuster’s money. Winning in Cannes probably is more important to him, career wise, than go filming a Hollywood film.

My least favorite retort in RE to any criticism is "Well it made a lot of money, the RT score is high, lots of people seem to enjoy it" and I'm like who cares? Making money doesn't mean something is absolved of criticism. It really sucks since I tend to like discussing movies, games and shit online. When all you have is popularity or review scores to plop up then it's a waste of time talking to you.

Haven't seen Black Panther yet but I don't get being upset at Gasper Noe not liking it. Artsy filmmakers always hate on big blockbusters, justified or not. Godard used to slam Spielberg all the time.

He didn't bash a movie but Disney's historic social movement.

2016 ghostbusters was really a bad movie. I would say it is actually worse than GB2. It’s just not very funny. GB2 at least has a few good moments.

I would also personally put BP higher than infinity war. For some reason I really didn’t like Inifinity War. The performances all fell really flat to me

Oh I see, it’s a cartoon about some kids with Down’s syndrome that like strawberries?

Eh. Seems like Initial D is destined to be the only anime I’ve ever bothered with. Still, I did really enjoy that one when he wasn’t chasing that bird that had the sugar daddy.
That strangely works.

I'll make you a wager, name a genre and I will be able to find an anime in said genre you'd like.
Y’know, I don’t actually know which genres I enjoy. I watched Initial D because I’ll watch anything that shows love to cars and car culture. I tend to enjoy darker films / series, and I fucking despise anything that has very clear ‘good’ and ‘bad’ guys. Ideally, I like works where the good guy is actually just the least bad guy. I watch very little on TV as a result. So I like horror / psychologically uncomfortable works, but they need to have a degree of ‘grey area’ to them.



Honestly smoky, the thought that you might die before getting to watch Cowboy Bebop fills me with deep sadness.

I know when you were young you probably saw some cringey highschool hentai romance bullshit that scarred you psychologically deeply, but they're not all like that. Just because you got hurt once doesn't mean you have to seal yourself shut to new anime experiences.

I don’t know if it’s my age (nearly 40) or location (England) or what, but that shit just totally passed me by. I watched Akira when some ex-missus insisted it was the best thing since the blowjob, and I heard about Initial D through other channels, but that was it. Like Pokemon, it took place somewhere off to the side of my world, virtually invisible to me.

Obviously recent exposure through Vita games and GAF/Reset ain’t give me a great impression, but I appreciate the older stuff looks very different.

So they finally clipped Audioboxer. The guy was, by far, one of the most sensible people there, not immediately falling in line and going with the group think. So of course they were itching to ban him for any innocuous reason. Just like RedHill in that cop shooting thread. In particular, any controversial subject/news item out of Europe will have far less push back against Reee's typical extreme/histrionic/authoritarian reactions.

And yet if you accuse them of being a hivemind, they get pissy and swear up and down they are not.

Cowboy Bebop has action, but it's not a power fantasy a lot of anime tends to be. It has space travel but sticks to realism (outside of maybe one episode). It's funny, but it's not a comedy.

Yeah, with all due respect to the epic duel of Brandy vs Monica, I just defaulted to the 50’s definition of R&B when I read it. Still, spent my afternoon listening to Chuck Berry so it worked out either way.

Quote from: Messofanego, post: 8077749, member: 1159
I don't buy the cultural differences argument considering France is 2nd to America for the hip hop culture since the 80s. Especially where Gaspar Noe resides, Paris, and he has used the same actor from La Haine (1995), Vincent Cassel, which is the film that put him on the map and which he surely must have watched before he hired him for Irreversible (2002).
Gaspar Noe generally thought the music was bad in Black Panther. The Black Panther soundtrack is mostly African music and hip hop, with like just two r&b songs.



http://www.complex.com/music/2016/02/the-best-of-french-hip-hop/
Although America is clearly at the top of the hip-hop food chain, France has always been a fairly close second, with a thriving scene that dates back to the mid-80s. A huge factor in the development of French hip-hop was the TV show HIPHOPaired, which featured music videos and live performances from global rap artists (even Kurtis Blow passed through one time). The show even pre-dated Yo! MTV Raps, suggesting that mainstream French culture was more ready to accept hip-hop than America was at that time.

Like hip-hop across the pond, and most other cultures, it was birthed in France through political movement and was used as a tool to protest the treatment of poverty-stricken citizens in Parisian ghettos and the racial discrimination immigrants and their children faced. It really was (and still is) their one true voice. The scene there has rapidly developed into something incredibly diverse-sounding—political hip-hop is still at the core, but gangsta and jazz-infused rap has also risen to prominence.

Rap evolved in France in a very similar way to what happened in the States but on a slight time delay, as it was the mid-90s where legends really started to be created. Some of this was thanks to the influence of Mathieu Kassovitz's iconic film, La Haine (which is basically a French Do The Right Thing), and its thumping hip-hop soundtrack that included pioneering groups such as Assassin and NTM. The French hip hop scene is still booming today, especially in Paris, which has a fierce underground scene and where most of the country's prominent rappers reside.

In squats in the 19th arrondissement and clubs like Le Globo and Le Bobino, Cassel was witness to the birth of French hip-hop. "It was very mixed," he recalls, of the crowds and the places. "It was the area of Jean-Paul Goude and Jean-Baptiste Mondino, but at the same time it was the beginning of hip-hop, and we had Public Enemy dropping by and all these kids from the street playing music that nobody would listen to. They weren't playing beats anywhere else – everything was very poppy and, let's face it, very white. We were different, we were dressed different," he trails off. "I don't know – it was real funky."

Imagine spending all this time debunking a comment that Noe probably forgot 30 seconds after saying it.

Eski eski beat, muthafuckas.
Noé work with an actor familiar with hip hop, ergo his hate for some song in Black Panther must be in bad faith.
