Superweapon VII

I wonder if anyone’s pondered the theoretical physics of space slug anatomy. Somehow these creatures are able to generate a gravity field equivalent to that of a terrestrial planet, and their digestive tract is capable of sustaining enough barometric pressure for humans to comfortably walk around inside them without need for a spacesuit (in spite of any visible barrier between their gullet and maw, which is open to hard vacuum.)

I think James Cameron is an overrated director. I think he is a talented guy. But i think Aliens is vastly overrated as a movie. I think Terminator the original is probably his best film. This is not an i hate Aliens screed. Its a fun actioner, its nowhere the masterpiece the original Alien is not even close.

Agreed.

The Terminator and Terminator 2 are the only James Cameron movies I genuinely like. Everywhere I look people won’t shut up about how awesome Aliens is, but I frankly found it to be a pretty generic movie.

Same.

I’ve liked Zardoz from Day 1. It has issues, but it’s far better than the Mad Max ripoff pop culture’s painted it as.

I’m curious to know how many persons who’ve requested a username change have received one.

The Boys is the best remedy for that.

I find grimdark deconstructions a cure that’s worse than the disease. YMMV

I dread the possibility of the Asian giant hornet becoming an invasive species in North America. Especially for the harm they could do to native bee populations.

Why would the decline of masculinity be worth celebrating? The decline of toxic masculinity, sure, but that’s not masculinity…

I was being tongue-in-cheek. Doesn’t translate well in text, I know.

This is a case of a joke in the fandom becoming a genuine talking point and criticism I think, one based on little, or very circumstantial evidence, that then seems to become a predominant idea which is held as almighty truth by some because it is reinforced by memes and jokes. (Again, my two cents on this.)

Kinda like how the Trek fandom has painted Kirk as a swinger when that really wasn’t how he was portrayed in TOS at all.

“The decline of masculinity”

Something worth celebrating, no?

“Disney: the most evil company in the world”

Close to not wrong. The military-industrial complex is still a thing, though.

Polyester and sweat are not a winning combination for me. Especially when flab gets in the way of a proper airing out.

EDIT

Sorry, accidental post.

I have zero interest in anything Harry Potter — books, movies, spinoffs, whatever. I’ll never read them, never watch them. And no, my apathy’s not because Rowling’s a sack of transphobic protoplasm; that’s just the anti-icing on the counter-cake.

Every Coleman Francis movie.

Anthony Ingruber would’ve been the perfect young Han Solo, as he looks exactly like a young Harrison Ford.

I thought the same at the time Solo was going into production. Physically, he’s perfect. But just 'cause he can do a spot-on impression of Ford as Han doesn’t entail he has the necessary acting chops to carry an entire movie.

Someone should cast him in a fan-film to test his mettle.

tl;dr: fandoms and social media suck.

Eyes Wide Shut. Feature-length troll post, that’s what it is.

You’re right.

Guess I’m just so sick of blind nostalgia, I’ve become susceptible to blind anti-nostalgia.

Would that be with or without the kidnapped and tortured sex worker plots?

Yes.

Just when I thought my appreciation for Dark Empire couldn’t rise any higher, the universe gives me this belated birthday present.

I think the Overton window in North America is skewed so far to the right that your average citizen thinks anything more progressive than milquetoast centrism is “radical leftism.”

That’s decades of Red Scaremongering for you (not that assholes like Stalin didn’t play right into their hands).

You make a good point.
