cntrl+f "red"

This was actually hilarious, at the same time though I don't know if playing into the whole idea of being "woke" is playing to the right as that's a common refrain from them, like it's kind of adopting their criticism and using it against our side, but at the same time there are people who are all talk and no walk and they should be set right. I think the people most would think of as "woke" do have their hearts in somewhat the right place, and they actually have a chance of getting there, versus a lot of people who have no chance at all. I'm white so for me I have the prililege where I would take them over a worse person, but for minorities I can see how they wouldn't have time for their bullshit if they aren't really helping.

tldr

Overly performative white liberals are obnoxious but uh, they're still better than fascists, so... that's something?

People who can admit their privilege grants them blind spots (myself included) have my respect, at least.

So brave.  They can admit they have respect for themselves.  Same person saying "they want to literally kill me," in the can you be friends with people thread.

Haha.  That thread is pretty much, "haha!  Look how funny that is.  It's totally not about me.  Haha.  People like that are  . . . And I'm not like that but those people are hilarious and deluded.    Not me!"

[Don Rumata]

Dune's going to be the same guy that did the Blade runner sequel right? There's no way that isn't going to be one of the best movies of this century.

The real worry is that it's supposed to be a trilogy (or a duology?) and if the first one flops like BR2049 did, we'll just end up with an unfinished story.

[Don Rumata]

2049 was so much better than people gave it credit for.

It was critically very well received i thought.
For some reason the BR movies are just not that good at the box office (though internationally it should've done good enough to recoup costs, at least).

I liked it more than the original, so there's that.

[VomKriege]

Okay, seeing as some people only read the title, I need more than yesmen to see if Democracy is actually worth preserving

Convince me. Give me good arguments while the world is on fire. Give me something that'll help sleep a bit better at night knowing we're all gonna die soon. Anything

No. Get over yourself.

was there much hate for it? i thought most people just didn't see it but those that did, myself included, enjoyed it

Your mistake is thinking that autocrats wpuld give a fuck about solving problems when they could just bring prima nocta back instead.

Back from not existing in the first place.

Honestly, I didn't expect people to give their own political takes over this thread since its like my third "depressive episode" OT thread I made in this forum.

I'm a bit surprised, to be honest

As we can currently see, the world is falling apart and willing to accept the return of right-wing fascism with open arms.

plus if you are too lazy to actually educate yourself or become politically active to make things better for yourself, instead of watching dumb children's movies in which cartoon animals and comic supermen hype up monarchies

2049 is so much better than anything else big budget over the last decade.

[paprikastaude]

Fury Road 

[Propagandhim]

It's simple.  When I abolish democracy, I'm going to replace it with the first non-fascist alternative:  A nation-state community of self-segregated racial enclaves at the Disneyland Resort and Spa.  Oi, bruv, do you have your WakandaLand pass?   gets out assorted kinds of paper bags  Okay, you're good.  You have citizenship. You can build a family here.   Oh, you want to go ride Space Mountain?  Listen, that's in the Magic Kingdom...*looks around to see if anyone is watching/whispers in your ear* Where all the South Koreans live.  If you really want to leave, we can petition a Russo or a Feige for diplomatic passthrough, but Epcot Center is going to fucking kill you for disrupting alliances here.  "Go Ahead" from Avengers Endgame OST starts playing ominously in the background.

[Momo]

Fury Road 

Well you found one movie at the same budget and level of BR, there aint much more 

[thisismyusername]

Oh my god, we need this as an emote.

2049 was so much better than people gave it credit for.

There's certain things about it that could've been cut and the movie would've been better off for it. But it's not bad. Just, it's kinda jarring to see the "future" and then Blade Runner's set design side-by-side with little/no regard for trying to make it less jarring.

[nachobro]

2049 and Fury Road are both boring crap for wack people

[ShutUp]

"Cancel culture? What's that? Something the alt right invented no doubt lol bunch of snowflakes"

*one week later*

 "Shane Gillis is cancelled like MAD TV was! Now let's get some other people we don't like cancelled too!"

 The hypocrisy is staggering.

[nachobro]

thank god snl has stayed pure now that the fat irish loser got cancelled

[ShutUp]

2049 was the best movie of 2017. Knew right away it would bomb at the box office but it still stung to see it play out that way.

[VomKriege]

Oh dear. 6 to 7 degrees when we're desperate to limit it to 1.5. Hahaha, ahh you gotta laugh. What a failure. I don't say this lightly, things are that serious, but we need some kind of cult of fact to take over. Forget all religion, forget everything, let's operate a society based on scientific fact and let that lead all policy going forward. People's and politicians are such short sighted greedy fuckers nothing will ever change for the good until we adopt this mentality. Fuck religion, fuck the wealthy steering everything in favour of them making more money. If there's not a scientific fact backing up why a policy is in place, and ALL policy should be about making the average citizens life better over the course of generations.. then it shouldn't be done.

Where’s Bork to shut this down?!? 👀 🤔

I listened to some of the segments of the gilli dude with his butt buddy.

Nah, man, nah, this is why millennials are doomed. Sometimes I don't even order anything when I eat out with friends, cause I know my friends are just going to take a bite of their dish and I can just finish off their plates because everyone is so damn wasteful.

I flat tip. I just leave $10 I figure they pay the people like $4 an hour so if I leave $10 it's like they made $14. I'm also not their only table and I'm not ever there more than an hour.

everyone's favorite super genius ex-mod with another anti-steam thread based on one person's tweets. he's really sticking to this gimmick.

So back to my bit. I'm generally uncertain to the validity of everything so far.

I was going to wait for things to solidify more before making a thread, but clearly got beat to it, as sites are making articles already.

good insight thanks a ton

FF7 Remake shows ambition hitherto undreamt of in this industry.

Sometimes I realize how ambitious and risky square is being by splitting a single game from the 90s into likely 3+ huge big budget modern AAA games.

Fury Road 

Fury Road is great the first time and much worse on repeat watchings. Come at me. Then again I’m not a Mad Max fan. Mad Max is okay at best and the thing that elevates it is the low budget and the fact it’s not dog shit. Road Warrior is solid but not much else.

The way people jack that game off is crazy. I mean I’m excited now and everything but it’s a fucking remake. Ambition. Lol.

[marrec]

Bork what did you do to Marrick Garland?

[nachobro]

i like that the OP keeps insisting FF7R is ambitious cause they are splitting it into three+ parts to sell more shit

I mean they’re splitting one game into three or more full sized parts and expanding it drastically

Remaking FF7 alone isn’t risky guys. How they are doing it is. It’s taking a ton of development resources for a single remake

Aiming to successfully retell the story of a classic game in multiple parts that massively expand the scope of the game over the next 7 or so years and please the fans at the same time isn’t a lofty goal?

I mean, kind of what I’m saying is that they COULD have done it one package.

Wouldn’t you say it’s way more ambitious to go for what they’re going for now?

[Uncle]

I could easily see FF7 part 2 selling poorly because a chunk of people who played the first don't bother to return and those who didn't play the first are especially not into the second part of a story they don't care about, and/or waiting to get the complete package at once

and then 3 just gets delayed and delayed and before you know it it's 2050 and half the world's population is dead so it's not really worth finishing it up with that kind of reduced sales potential

[Himu]

The best thing about Mad Max’s legacy is influencing Gau in FFVI and the post apoc hockey pads desert look that you’d see in shit like Fist of the North Star more than the movies themselves.

I seriously don’t get the Mad Max hype. They’re okay movies but why are they so loved? Not any better than a western. You’re telling me a kid that can’t talk and only talks in grunts becomes the leader of an group in the future? Okay.

Fury Road is easily the best one.

[nachobro]

Spaghetti western with cars instead of horses, fuel and water instead of gold. Plus it's a post-apocalyptic that isn't depressing af, which is rare.

Fury Road is easily the best one.

On that we can agree. But you have to admit Mad Max was good for four decades ago.

[Propagandhim]

I hear those delivery services are rife with people who eat your food.  Like, if you buy fries it's pretty much a guarantee that they'll take some.   

[HardcoreRetro]

I'll get whichever part has the Cloud rape scene.

[nachobro]

i only get food delivery a 1-2x a month when super stoned but most places i've ordered from close the food bag with staples/stickers to "prove" that it hasn't been tampered with.

[Propagandhim]

There's probably a r/shoplifting-esque subreddit solely focused on the best re-stapling techniques for food delivery drivers

[nachobro]

also if you order fries from a delivery service you are stupid and deserve to have them stolen. those things are barely fresh when you get them, they aren't lasting a drive

Mad Max 1 is depressing af dude. What are you on? Guy runs over his fucking family.

Speaking of which, I hate fucking movies with forced situations.

Like Max knows his wife is riled up about the gang. They have no idea where their son is. Mom goes to the beach all by herself like a dumb ass in a post apocalyptic setting. Leaves her kid at home. Max is constantly leaving his wife by herself and is shocked chica gets whacked. It makes you want to scream at them because they’re so dumb.

[Transhuman]

I mean 2 onwards is funny.

MM1 was like his sad Batman origin story

[Himu]

Okay yeah. 2 onwards is definitely more positive than the rest of the genre.

[HardcoreRetro]

Watch A Boy and His Dog instead for a positive spin on the post-apocalypse.
