Looks like a very cool movie. I wonder if they’ll ever do one based on the Stephen King story.

*eyeroll*

Look, man: The games you are defending aren’t art. Sorry. They’re stupid crap done by aggressively sexually immature Japanese men. Nothing is being censored anymore than telling someone else to stop being a fucking pervert. That’s not censorship, that’s filtration. That’s localization — y’know, the thing you…

IKR? That took me a bit by surprise. I mean, have you guys actually watched ‘33 Kong or just read about it? It’s overtly racist. It’s like watching a vaudville blackface act.

Not that it makes the story you linked to any less tragic, but the Gaston actor that got killed and the one in the pushup video above are different actors.

OH MY GOD, I was assuming this was some kind of joke until I did a google search.

How long does it take to remove a pair of heels?

Why would anyone want a sequel? Space Jam was awful. It was widely recognized as awful. Is this a case of millennials looking back at Space Jam through nostalgia goggles, the same way my generation looks at the Transformer and GI Joe cartoons of the 80s?

I know I am in the minority but I find the obsessive secrecy from the movie producers and the constant policing from the fans way more annoying than the spoilers.

Dude’s voice kinda sucks though.

Fuck Dollhouse.

I’ll take it as far as saying that I find cosplaying to be very odd. Like, off-puttingly odd. I recognize that’s on me, not on them, but does anyone else feel that way?

“Superior” was soooooo good.

producers in hollywood and music produce things. producers in video games are middle management garbage

I understood your point just fine. CBS is the corporate author of a corporate work (ie, a work of many minds and hands, just like you said). Star Trek is also (again, just like you said) only 50 years old, so what will happen as specific protections expire is neither here nor there. But what I most disagree with is…

Copyright protection doesn’t stop if you don’t personally like the quality of the thing being protected. I, personally, think that Star Wars: The Force Awakens was a boring and unoriginal film: should that mean I have the legal right to make my own?

The makers of Axanar are paying themselves salaries from their crowdfunded movie and wanted to use the money to set up a future, for-profit studio for the creators, and they were doing it on the back of fans of an established, copyrighted franchise which CBS, who own the TV rights (and Paramount, who own the movie…

Ah, well, I see. I don’t really unpack it to the point of her saying she was raped to excuse it, just that he insisted she not go out into the cold. I think it’s generally assumed that they would not acknowledge that they had sex, just that due to the blizzard she had no choice but to stay, even though she tried.

I guess I always assumed the joined crescendo at the end, where both sing ‘Baby it’s cold outside,’ implies they agreed. Maybe I’ve watched too many 1940s musicals, but it’s always seemed obvious to me that the woman in the song wanted to ‘stay’ but was unsure what would happen after, and that the man in the song was…

What you did there. I see it.
