No, they were willing to believe in ghosts, but the fact that there also were hallucinations mixed in there confused them because the hallucinations were presented in a manner similar to the ghosts, but were of living people.

Actually you would do it without a heartbeat.

I think the modern movie audience has been schooled to have absolutely every single damn thing in a movie explained to them. In less than expert hands, this makes for a seriously dull film.

They were willing to believe in ghosts, but not in hallucinations?

Yeah, that headline surprises me too. I assumed it was a remake.

I’m pretty sure I read that Sutherland plays his same character from the original, just older. I thought it was a remake until I saw that bit of info.

London, definitely.

The novel came out in 1994, so maybe the other way around.

Odds on Kit Harrington for Nightwing? I’d say high.

The funny thing is that if the South won, they would never really have developed into the US that emerged in the late 1890s and 1900s. Basically the US would be a 3rd rate power on a distant continent to the Euros.

I mean, one of the bigger issues with the film that it kinda skips by is that the goal of the South wasn’t to conquer the North, it was just to be it’s own nation.

The film is fairly satirical, sort of a dark mirror of America’s actual history, so I don’t think it was meant to be a completely plausible alternate history. That said, there is not necessarily anything inconsistent about the idea that the British might support the South for other political reasons even though…

Very few machines are cheaper than slavery. The economics of the world wouldn’t have progressed the same way. The “globalization” that you refer to wouldn’t work: cheap labor in other countries would never be cheaper than American slaves. Just as we look the other way at how Foxconn treats their laborers, other…

Blade Runner Black Out 2022

Edward James Olmos back as Gaff!

Wait a minute are these short films ads for Blade Runner 2049 or Crunchyroll? WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK? In order to see this short in HD I need to sign up. Fuck off WB. Some marketing slackwad said “synergy” and a Assistant Executive for Fuckery came in his pants. Or her pants. #notallpants THIS KIND OF SHIT is just over…

“Netflix subscribers abroad can watch Discovery concurrently with American audiences.”

So basically you’re saying, “Give up and pay the extortion money.”

I’m still incredibly bitter that we never got a proper ending to that show

Wasn’t this, for the most part, the central conceit of In the Flesh? I know that the zombies had to maintain a drug regimen to stay ‘human’, but that was actually a pretty great allegory for chronic and stigmatized diseases like HIV on top of the PTSD exploration.
