Isn't that shit already common in Chinese cartoons and magmas?
blah blah blah gender expectations regarding sexuality blah blah blah it is pretty sexist blah blah blah however pandering to nerds and men blah blah blah overall, people could do with some less biases blah blah blah
Anyways, my sister and I just watched a short that was included with How To Train A Dragon
It seemed like every dragon had eggs. ...If all of them are females, then who the fuck is fertilizing the eggs?
Yes I realize that it was probably off screen males but I prefer my theory of Toothless going, "Aww yeah"
Star Wars fandom, remember?
Me and my friends were just in an antique shop, and one of the clerks milling around approached us asking us about stuff, and put her hand on one of my friend's shoulders, and he told the clerk that he didn't like to be touched.
And she looked at him like he had just told some outrageous joke. This reaction was frozen on her face for a number of seconds; if I had a watch, I could've timed it. It creeped me out, in more ways than one.
And then The Tunnel. :>
So on the subject of the prequels (I know, sorry) one thing that I just remembered being weird to me is how little emphasis was put on the friendship of Anakin and Obi-wan in them. In A New Hope Obi-wan talks about what great pals they were. In the prequels very little time is spent aside from the occasional banter which there is somewhat less of than Obi-wan chastising him.
The weird thing is that, despite Christensen's terrible acting, I did feel the two actors had something of a chemistry together. (Cue the squealing yaoi fangirls)
I dunno, maybe the Clone Wars cartoon has more on their friendship but that would require watching the Clone Wars cartoon.
^^If you're not referring to Tartakovsky, it would be helpful if you capitalized "The".
If I'm referring negatively to something called Clone Wars you can probably figure out it's not Tartakovsky's version.
But you have shittaste. You would do such a thing.
Taking a break from getting my ass kicked online. I think I have a 50% Win-Loss ratio at the moment.
Really trying to find a team that works with Wright because damn it, I'm gonna stick with him!
I played the MGS3D: Snake Eater demo.
I don't know why Konami gave us this shoddy demo when early reviews say it's better than that.
Reminds me of Obi-Wan talking about the Clone Wars, too. We get two, three lines about it and it seems real. What we got was kind of a farce.
can we talk about something that has actually contributed to the world in a meaningful way like citizen kane
I'd appreciate Citizen Kane more if it wasn't treated as the be-all and end-all of movies, especially since you can't affix a "best" label to one film in a medium with so many diverse styles and genres.
I'd argue that while Kane's not exactly the best movie of all time (impossible concept) it's certainly one of the most important movies in film canon, both from an aesthetical and narrative perspective.
That kind of status I can understand, though since I'm not a film buff, could you elaborate?
Couldn't find Audition or The Tunnel, and I don't feel like watching anything else after that, so I think I'll call it a night.
Just got back from The Grey (and a huge fucking hotdog).
Really, really enjoyed it.
Well, for starters, most film by that time, while able to tell a story (Which is something that film did not start doing in the first place) was stuck in the usual chronological sequence of events. Kane decides to go for an anachonical order in order to portray in order of relevance to the main idea of the story (That Kane was unsastified with his life and yearned for a life he never had) through simple snippets of his life, if you will.
The main innovation that the movie brings from an aesthetical point of view, though, it's the deep focus aspect of it.
If you look here, you'll notice that both the kid in the background and the lady in the foreground are both in focus. Most cameras were not normally able to do this, and the human eye kinda fails at it, too.
It wasn't just that, though. The movie tends to go for a visual sort of storytelling via the angles, like...whenever Kane's supposed to be seen as the little man we know he's in the inside, we watch him from above, like in here, when his newspaper's starting
However, when he's in control or feeling empowered, we see him from below. Like when he runs for governor
This is, of course, a very basic look at it, and I think I cannot do it justice, myself. All of this talk doesn't touch on how the movie manages to touch the right emotional cues when needed, how Kane can come off as charming, witty and just a normal guy rather than just a dramatic figure (His talk with a girl who he just had met and where he charms her by wiggling his ears is surprisingly endearing, imo) or how the movie uses montages to not just abridge or gloss over events, but to show Kane's external, mental and spiritual decay over the time and blah blah blah
Overall, it's a movie I like and I recommend.
So first impressions of ultimate Marvel Vs. Capcom.
I seem to be maining Dante, Morrigan, and Doctor Strange. Of course, I like DMC so much I probably would main Dante no matter what.
Also, goddamn is Morrigan's accent adorable.
Does Morrigan have an appropriate accent?
This is very important.
It's Irish. Unless I'm missing something this means yes.
No, no, it's all good. Everything appears to be in order.
I finally tried on the snuggie knockoff my grandmother got me a few Christmas' ago
Two things:
1) It's essentially a backwards housecoat. Seriously. What a rip off
2) OH DEAR LORD THE STATIC! I'm mildly afraid of the safety of my laptop right now
Just putting it on and laying down produced endless static!
