I get that and agree with it on some level, but I also really like the idea of Cloverfield as a loose anthology series without continuity but overlapping themes and styles. Do I need to tag spoilers for this thing here? Just in case, SPOILERS:

When she got out of the bunker I was disappointed to find that it actually was just aliens the entire time, but when she went to Houston to join the survivors and it was revealed that this whole thing was essentially a prologue for this huge epic that we’ll probably never see, I was back on board. When it looked like she escaped and then had to fight some CGI aliens for just for the sake of upping the ante I was disappointed, but by tying it into this nonexistent larger story I think they ultimately made it feel more earned.

SPOILERS:

I wish that it would’ve ended with the bunker exploding and her finding out that the air isn’t poisonous.

I’m losing hope that we’ll see the OUT released before 2020. I’m sure it’ll happen eventually but I don’t think anyone at Lucasfilm cares enough to go to any real effort to get it done.

It just occurred to me that I barely remember anything about TFA. I haven’t seen it since it was in theatres.

I’ve never even seen Cloverfield. I didn’t even know that Cloverfield was a beloved classic. 10 Cloverfield Lane was so obviously its own movie that had nothing to do with Cloverfield until the producing entity decided that it’d be a better financial decision to do so.

Just learned they made a Reservoir Dogs game. I don’t usually play video games but I’ll have to check this out since I love the movie so much.

Usually I am able to remember almost all movies and games that have come out in my lifetime, even if they came out almost 25 years ago and I didn’t see them, but this one is total news to me. Just so you know, movie-licensed games are rarely good.

What about Cloverfield 2?

10 Cloverfield Lane - The first 90% of the movie was outstanding, but I’m still trying to process how I felt about the end. I think it was kind of a shame that they went that batshit after how incredibly tight everything that happened in the bunker was, but then I remind myself that this is in fact supposed to be a spiritual successor to Cloverfield.

I don’t get why it had to be a successor to Cloverfield. Apparently it wasn’t at first and was called the Cellar.

It is just an artificial table, that is at best grounded on some overall statistics, which is useless when it comes to different groups of people, let alone individual specimen.

This is like saying that it’s safe to play Russian Roulette because some people finish a game without blowing their brains out all over the table.

It is stupid to label something simply “unhealthy”. It is not stupid to label something “unhealthy for vast majority”. That is the big difference and that was my argument all along.

Being fat is never healthy. Just because someone can be two hundred pounds overweight and live to be ninety doesn’t mean that it’s not unhealthy.

I initially started writing a memoir of my life since jr. high school and then when I realized how awful it was I turned it into a fictional coming of age story based loosely on my own experiences, which is also no doubt going to be awful.

imperialscum is the poor man’s twooffour.

The death wish sequels are awesome!

You’ll have to at least exchange your smart phone for one in which you can’t give in to your compulsions. Beating a compulsion is much more tangible when you pretty much have no real ability to give in. It would at the very least help you at work and when not around your computer.

I never disputed that something may be unhealthy for some or even majority of specimen.

What was that about being civilized?

I merely disputed that you cannot claim something is universally unhealthy.

Being fat is never healthy.

That’s like if I said people in the UK should pronounce “garage” like the civilized people do in the states. It’s a bunch of pretentious shite.

It doesn’t work that way. When savages take a civilised language and use it improperly, you cannot blame the civilised language users for that.

I’d take savagery any day if imperialscum is a representation of civilization.

It’s not about the content, it’s about the attitude.

The content is always the truth, so it is not easy to go after the content.

Fat people are less healthy than people who are their healthy weight.

I don’t really like the objectification aspect of it.

Jesus Christ objectification is the most bullshit term I’ve ever heard. Finding women attractive isn’t evil.

Objectification and finding women attractive are not the same thing.

Well of course, but they’re conflated very frequently.

Being fat is unhealthy. You can live a long time in spite of that, but it’s unhealthy. Smoking cigarettes is unhealthy too. I wasn’t aware that this was a controversial thing to say.

If you are disease-free and your body can perform daily activities normally you are healthy, weather you are fat or skinny, smoke or not.

No, if you are 400 pounds, you are significantly less healthy than you should be. Disease-free or not.
