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.

Video Games - a general discussion thread

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.

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.

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.

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.
