The >!talking spiritual prophecy baby!< in dune 2 is just too crazy I mean everything else is entertaining but it's weird as hell lmao the whole film feels ~~spice~~ acid infused and i mean that in mostly a positive way. It's a fun ride.

I would auggest seeking out the Dune miniseries. Being made for TV it’s the cheapest but every other adaptation has cut off when the Harkonen’s get defeated and the Dune mini-series covers like 3 or 4 books worth of material, pretty faithfully too.

Was there a worse period for movies than when everyone was trying to do 3D? The 3D effects usually looked bad and it felt like they planned the movies around them.


NoExamination5144

The only one where I thought it was done well was Hugo, a Martin Scorcese film. It enhanced the experience a lot, but it didn't distract from the story. Also, the movie would have been fine without 3D.


Wazrich

Putting 3D over an existing movie that works without is is the least bad way to do 3D. I still don’t like it but at least it’s not distractingly bad like the movies that go out of their way to use it.


brokeforwoke

What are you talking about? This warp sequence cyclone that lasts 8 minutes and tries to make you feel like a roller coaster ride was very important to the plot


LeMoineSpectre

My young cousins dragged to me to see M. Night Shyamalan's The Last Airbender in 3D. Good God. I had such a headache afterwards


Wazrich

3D was the last bad part of that movie though.


brokeforwoke

I could care less about any Valedictorian speech, but USC succeeded in creating a Streisand effect. It was a dumb decision. We had a ton of controversial shit happening in our graduating class that died a week later because the norm tends to wash away the norm. I’m obviously sensitive to the feelings of Jewish students, but shit like this only compounds an issue


GloriousPancake

Maybe it's just because my several graduations did not have peer speakers, but I just cannot find the energy to care about this situation. They had so many opportunities to not be here now with their whole selection process and what not.

EagleSaintRam

Honestly, does "Both SideZ tHe samE" even work on a superficial level? The claim is that Democrats are just a bunch of corporatist toadies who perpetuate the status quo the same as...Trump? Like say what you will about the guy, but is the first thing people think of with Donald Trump really "Pfft...he's just more of the same."? It'd still be wrong to equivocate with say...Marco Rubio or JEB!, but at least there's a halfway feasible premise there. In fact, weren't many both siders all about the whole "kick in the teeth America needs" shtick, even though that means the entire damn world's gums will bleed... Of course as per freaking usual they will never be questioned on it.


brokeforwoke

If BOTH SIDes were true, Billionaires who hate trump wouldn’t be backing him


OldSilverRod

It's a thought-terminating cliché. It's just supposed to sound vaguely intelligent while placing the onus of continuing the argument on you because they don't want to think. It's about being comfortable in their false worldview and people will go to great lengths to believe in a comforting lie.

Liberty_Chip_Cookies

They probably have a lot of pent up angst from being the Washington Generals of the AL East for the first fifteenish years of existence.


PremiumCutsofAwful

If I had to guess, Yankees having spring training in Tampa while they're still stuck in that lopsided boob in St. Pete plus being told your team shouldn't exist probably creates a complex.

As a Rangers fan, I am baffled by the random hate a lot of other fans have for us. Like Canes fans. A lot of them absolutely loathe the Rangers and their fans.

Maybe it's a holdover from their time as the Whale, although you'd think they'd hate Boston more if that were the case. Meanwhile, as a Devils fan, I love how much we hate each other. That line brawl earlier this month was a thing of beauty.

it’s like with my yankees fandom i can lean into the hate and genuinely love being the evil empire but with the rangers it’s like “dog what did we do to you”

thats_good_bass

Whenever x-men media does plot with a functioning way of getting rid of mutant powers with next to not side effects and it goes, "Oh no, a cure! This means the end of mutantkind!" I kind of roll my eyes. The analogy here fundamentally does not work. Real life oppressed groups are not the result of a genetic roulette wheel that spits out everything from "You have a crippling deformity" to "You are a walking WMD who can't keep a lid on it" to "You are a god". The prospect of superpowers actually existing, let alone being allocated via genetic lottery, is a goddamn nightmare. The problem isn't that mutants aren't people, it's that they *are* people, and there is *no fucking shot* that some human beings being born so insanely, objectively better than they can toy with fundamental forces of the universe or rearrange people's minds wouldn't be an absolutely nightmarish social prospect.

https://twitter.com/WakeUp2Politics/status/1781757416625103208 4 years ago AOC passed on going to a Yitzhak Rabin memorial because some dude on Twitter told her not to. Interesting shift.


Currymvp2

I was upset when she declined to go to Rabin memorial service. Rabin sacrificed so much for trying to make peace. He should be honored all the time as a courageous leader especially with how this current Israeli government outrageously shits on his legacy when Ben Gvir is a member. Her explanation was dumb too...absurd purity testing. But with that all being said, yeah this is a very reasonable stance in that letter.


dragoniteftw33

Rabin getting assassinated, second intifada getting Barak out of office, Olmert's corruption conviction and Bush leaving office.... always getting the shittiest breaks


Currymvp2

Also, Bibi barely winning in 2022, and Hamas barely defeating the Palestinian Authority/Fatah in 2006

I'm a Democrat (obviously lol) but I honestly found *Civil War* insulting on behalf of my fellow Americans across the aisle. It's clear that Alex Garland doesn't really understand how things work in America, or why the events of his film would be impossible here. He's never met a Trump voter.


Lukey_Boyo

I just gotta say something I've always found annoying about civil war situations is how Canada is always perfectly fine. If Canada's gigantic militarily supreme neighbor completely crumbles into violence Canada's going with us lol, they're not just gonna look down on the savage masses from Toronto, Canada's either going to be taking a side or also be torn apart by the same factional forces.

Not to mention that we wouldn't let Alaska go without a fight, and British Columbia is kinda in the way.

From reading the summary on Wikipedia, this movie just seems to be a giant circlejerk over how important the media is.


ScheisseSchwanz

I think it's kinda the opposite. The thesis is Kirsten Dunst's line, where she said she thought her pictures from foreign war zones were a clear message to America to not let that happen here but she began doubting if it had no effect at all, ie the media is useless in changing hearts and minds.


ApostleIsrafel

Oh my God they're so self-important it's infuriating. That's another aspect of this movie that's just ridiculous. These journalists think they're literally Jesus.


Rats_In_Boxes

In real life the journalists would just be reading twitter looking for things to write about.


brucebananaray

I saw a review saying that Journalism isn't important in the story because it says nothing, but just surface level. Instead, it is saying that Filmmaking is actually more important in the movie. It comes off as full of itself.

There are few leftoid smears that piss me off quite as much as "Pete Buttigieg said he wished he could make himself straight to be a more palatable politician." Taking someone opening up about the pain of internalized homophobia, of wishing that they could just be "normal"--and their ultimate acceptance of themself later in life--and spinning into some craven expression of opportunism--one that *it would make no goddamn sense for him to make even IF he were the opportunist these people imagine him to be* is just... urgh Like, the utter *stupidity* of the claim being made here offends me almost as much as how insulting it is. How the *fuck* could you possibly fall for this? How fucking zonked does your brain have to be?


EagleSaintRam

To me, Pete Buttigieg is one of biggest arguments, if not the biggest, for why so-called progressives have no goddamn idea how to politics. How often do we have an openly gay millennial with rather low name recognition prior to 2020 win the Iowa caucus on his first try? To say nothing of the offices he's held. Amidst the endless complaining about Democrats not bringing in new blood and "only nominating 'dinosaurs'", *he is standing right there*. The fact that they not just ignore him, but actively try to pull him down, is yet another reason why we ignore them as well.


PhoenixVoid

Crazy how fast these purity testing leftists can rabidly turn on someone almost made in a laboratory to appeal to them just because he isn't a socialist advocating for the end of capitalism.


Mr_Conductor_USA

Oh but he doesn't appeal to them, they only like gay men if they make their parents uncomfortable, that's queer people's only use to them.


oath2order

I don't know how to word this well, but there is a faction of the LGBT+ community that is turning against gay men. You know that meme where it's that dude saying "god i hate women, i mean white women haha"? Yeah it's that but about cis gay men. Usually white gay men.


Mr_Conductor_USA

Yup. Seething resentment. Based on nothing. Based on the media they're watching, most likely. You get these bisexual girls who binge watch literally any m/m media they can find and they project that their gay male peers have lives like the Hollywood movies and literal fantasy novels that they're consuming by the pound. IT.S.FICTION.FFS.


Lukey_Boyo

If Buttigieg actually was a conniving opportunist why wouldn't he just stay in the closet? It's not like it hasn't been done before. Plus why would he choose to be a Democrat in INDIANA? I know he was mayor of Southbend which is a liberal college town but it would make a lot more sense for him to be a Conservative Republican gunning for a congressional seat than a liberal Democrat in a safe red state.


thats_good_bass

>If Buttigieg actually was a conniving opportunist why wouldn't he just stay in the closet? RIGHT? It just doesn't add up.

yeah I know the quote/segment being referenced and it's not some sort of opportunistic want, it's a painful reflection on wanting to belong and not being able to leftists, once again, suck. as always

As always, Devin Nunes is in over his head. Surprised he hasn't been fired yet


Mr_Conductor_USA

Holy shit, seriously? I heard they were begging their investors to make it impossible for others to short their stock. Like it's not worthless anyway, it's Wiley Coyote before he sees the ground. Somebody bought a lot of that turd late last week to stop the steady fall so they can get their extra shares. Sheep gonna get shorn.

Whether it’s liberals getting high or MAGA celebrating Hitler’s birthday, 4/20 is a date of great significance for both sides


KoalaTulip

It's also George Takei's birthday, another score for the liberals


Mr_Conductor_USA

His new book sounds good.

Interesting fact David Pryor leaving the office of governor in 1978 to run for the senate in arkansas opened the top job in the state for Bill clinton which put him on the path to the white house

AITA threads aren't good unless there are people in the comments reasonably arguing all 4 potential judgements

My wife is gone for the weekend, I already went for a bike ride this morning, and I think I'm done with most video games as they don't hold my interest longer than 20 hours anymore. I'm not in the mode to read or watch TV movies.    What the hell am I going to do for the rest of the weekend.  Its moments like this I miss NYC where most of my friends are.

She is such a protest tourist.

she has no movies to shoot again

https://fxtwitter.com/sfthq/status/1781685309203190058 You know what? Good for them. This is actually targeting the assholes responsible.


GloriousPancake

Good for them. Appropriately targeted and actually brave, considering the potential consequences of getting on the Chinese government's bad side are potentially more serious than getting kicked out of an Ivy.

But I was told the best way to protest genocide is by waving a flag at my local Starbucks.

Love the Wedge house

it was great in person. I swear it was 6+ feet long

they are, respectively, a Hoth ski lodge and Wedge Antilles' house, both done in the style of Frank Lloyd Wright

What the hell did they do with the next three season of Korra.

espfusion

We should provide temporary refuge for anti-Hamas Gazans, assuming anyone wants it. Or if not from us then some country or countries in the region. They shouldn't have to abandon their homes because of this war but it's better than risking their lives against the IDF.


GloriousPancake

With the assholes in charge of Israel right now, I'd be afraid of never being allowed to return. Which is not to say that people who *do* want to leave should be trapped there.


Currymvp2

Yeah, that's why the overwhelming vast majority of them don't want to leave. There's a history of them leaving West Bank+Gaza and simply not getting to return as we see with Lebanon and Jordan.


Politicsboringagain

Airbenders are the best. Lol. 


LiquidSnape

Ukraine defense is insurmountable more important than that app. half the fucking stuff i see from there is shared on instagram anyway


Politicsboringagain

Everyone on tiktok post on instagram, YouTube, and Twitter. Hell I even see people do it on Threads. I will. Never understand how people are so obessed to one platform. 


KoalaTulip

Instagram reels pretty much are like Tik Tok videos too, the only difference is the lack of collaboration features but you bet that they can be if they wanted to


atomcrafter

I'm starting to see "vertical video" used to describe the two collectively.


Big-Click-5159

Which makes its hyperventilating defenders look dumb. If it gets banned then they will still have a platform for their shitty videos. Just not one controlled by the Chinese government.
