MAGA incel chuds really are the dumbest. Why superhero satire The Boys turned off its rightwing fanbase | Superhero TV | The Guardian WWW.THEGUARDIAN.COM Amazon’s subversive smash hit has irked some fans with a more overtly political season that dares to position the show’s villain as a Trump stand-in ‘The Boys’ Creator Eric Kripke Tells Toxic Fans to Stop Watching the Show: ‘Eat a Bag of Dicks’ and ‘F— Off to the Sun’ VARIETY.COM The creator of "The Boys" is taking a stand against the show's toxic fans.

You gotta love distinctions without a difference.

So true, it's like, "tell me who you are without telling me".

Barbie is indeed The Lego Movie made live-action and about dolls for girls as opposed to lego bricks for boys but "over the top" is a bit harsh. Its messaging is right on point for the dum-dum mass audience its appealing to in the same way that The Lego Movie's messaging did the same thing (aka: have fun with your toys between parents and children). The patriarchal messaging is funny and amusing in what is mostly a comedy, if one doesn't get a laugh out of the scene of all the dudes explaining The Godfather or playing the same song on guitar or at the naming of "Mojo Dojo Casa House" I'd say that person is pretty insecure. Then again, this is the same board that felt Nope's messaging was over the top and heavy handed but then when I ask a regular person they've never even seen the movie, and the few that have "didn't get it". So not sure how "over the top" something can be when casual dum-dums aren't getting it. Edit: I mean, there are MAGA incel chuds who don't get Fight Club or American Beauty or American History X. They take the wrong message that the films are actually skewering. So "over the top" seems hard to imagine with people who can't even understand basic film language.

I know a lot of people say this, but it's not an analogy that really works for films. If the theatrical cut of a film is, let's say, a 4/10, and a director's cut of that same film is a 6/10, that's a difference worth noting even if someone is a viewer that wouldn't bother with 4/10 films or 6/10 films. So not every turd is equal.

Better ones? Doubtful.

All six books are excellent (the ones written by Frank Herbert). If you liked the first two books, I think they only get better (but more dense/esoteric). Yes, read it. Why, you got better books waiting in the wings? And yes, agreed, Scytale and Hayt rule, they better nail them (and the entire counter-Paul council) in the movie adaptation.

Agreed, but it's a pretty unfulfilling ending in broad terms, to me at least. Even assuming what happens to Paul is vague (a good ending though), it takes Children of Dune to confirm it. I dunno, maybe I'm too biased and am too much of a Dune fan but I'd be pretty disappointed if we stopped at Dune Messiah when more could be done. On the other hand, I never thought I'd even get a good Dune adaptation, so I'm also grateful for anything at this point.

Yeah, just get Greta Gerwig and Noah Baumbach to write the screenplay and get Gerwig to direct and then you're good. Robbie producing and starring in something will be meaningless without good writers and directors. I guess Ridley Scott's version of this announced ages ago is out then (though one can just watch All the Money in the World for his take on Monopoly).

Agreed, but I think no one will disagree that even if you don't like the director's cut version, his director's cuts are universally better than his theatrical cuts, so that's something.

Agreed, but it's in no way a complete story of Dune in general. When I finished Dune Messiah I did not feel like: "ah, yes, this is like Return of the King, the story is over" because it just isn't. Finishing one main story arc does not mean it ends everything on a complete note. The ending to Dune Messiah is really good for the end of Paul's arc, but Dune is bigger than Paul and I don't feel the movies make him bigger than that, it's still about the overall story, which Paul plays a part in. Paul is a cog in a much larger story, reframing a movie adaptation to simply be about him is short sighted I think. It's like Aragorn is obviously a main character in LOTR but LOTR is bigger than Aragorn.

I'm not saying you can't end it after Dune Messiah, but you really think Dune Messiah ends on a complete note? There are tons of open ended plot threads left unaddressed when it ends. Hell, even with Paul it's not clear until Children of Dune.

Yeah, I know he's been trotting this around and I'd be interested in seeing it! But the guy should probably make better deals with studios ahead of time.

I never had a problem with Aloy talking too much myself, but it seems for you guys the patch that lessened her talking wasn't enough. Horizon Forbidden West update makes Aloy talk less, fixes lots of bugs too - Gamepur WWW.GAMEPUR.COM We get it, you have a stash.

Well what the fuck. I knew they were working on Iron Man and just got added to Battlefield support but I figured Dead Space 2 remake would come after those. I thought the first remake did really well?

I'm referring to broad spectrum hate, not individual hate, but you have been heard.

We're hating on Kiss now? Why? No one is claiming they are one of the great bands, but fun? Hell yeah. And unlike a lot of artists they know exactly what they are. New York Groove (for example) is not exactly Kiss (and I know it's a cover but Ace Frehley killed it), but c'mon, this is good shit. My appreciation for Kiss rose dramatically after seeing the excellent comedy Role Models for the best description of Kiss ever. "They're these Jewish guys who grew up in New York and they put on guitars and make up to get girls. And all their songs are about fucking. This song is called "Love Gun" and it's about Paul Stanley's dick."

My brother lives in San Diego so I have been decently often and this was great, I believe it's so easy to tell. Also next time I go will try Swami's Cafe! I get the sense real marines aren't frequently gun nuts? I have no idea, am I way off base?

I think the first thing I always notice with gun nuts is how slovenly and unkempt most of them look. I know most Americans don't really have style or take care of themselves but this is next level in the Midwest and South. Like, I'm not talking about just being in shape. I'm talking mismatched clothes, terrible hair styles, etc.

It may be doable but Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust (the excellent anime film) is based on Amano's character designs and that tried hard to emulate it (and it looks beautiful) but I imagine the cost was astronomical. That was back in 2000 and that was an anime film, not a game, but I imagine a game would be even harder to do. Are you saying to do so from an isometric perspective? That'd probably be more possible at least.

I more or less agree with your system. Unduly harsh with some of your examples compared to what I'd score them but broadly, on point.

Yes, if someone plays a sequel to the same gameplay loop as the previous game and instead believes the race is completely gone in the sequel game (to the degree it "pisses them off") then that's stupid. I said nothing about needing to have played the previous game to know this, you can just look it up online. I'm not angry about anything, I'm simply stating a fact that having clicked the article (and seen others online) that it's clickbait because there's no controversy here. And you exaggerate. Finding out the race isn't permanently gone isn't doing an oral history, it takes a second to find out, it's not work. I know enough of the mechanics of a game that they aren't going to perma-delete an entire race that's part of the gameplay loop. And me knowing/not knowing the offline/online aspect of Helldivers 1 isn't causing me to come to incomplete or incorrect conclusions about the sequel since I'm not disputing or criticizing what the game is doing with that mechanic or feature. So yes, I'm going to call someone stupid if they truly believe "race is gone permanently from sequel game" because one would assume something, anything else first since that's an incredibly stupid conclusion to come to. You don't need to even know the gameplay loop to assume how stupid that is to believe.

I mean, that's most movies. Almost every movie I watch ranks between a 6 to a 7.5. A movie being below that is usually abysmal, and a film being above that is a must watch. It's very rare for any film I watch to break that range of score (mostly because I know the bad movies to avoid so I don't end up watching them to begin with and great movies are hard to come by). That being said, it's still at least worth scoring and giving maybe a one sentence blurb about to let others know. But I agree, most movies just kind of come and go. I mean, I love discussing films, but most here just talk about the big, obvious, straightforward stuff like comic book films, etc. There's nothing to really talk about there, so I would love to get into better/stranger/more interesting films with someone more. Like discussing how How to Blow Up a Pipeline is basically a realistic, live-action Final Fantasy VII? That's a conversation worth having.

They fucking nailed the seppuku scene from the book. Goddamn.
