By DY_nasty Go To PostThrust vectoring was basically And 1 aerial fukkery 10 years ago. Present day stuff is actual air memes.Yea it's basically turning on no clip and god mode for the air frame. Supermaneuverability is insane on aircraft. The F22 was great at this while the F35 is memes.

The Russians always had America beat on manoeuvrability just couldn't compete on stealth and counter air capabilities.
I mean yeah that maneuver isn't going to make a missile miss but it's still fun and they get to use their single allowance of "fuck" after it.
I love the ridiculousness of finding a way to fly an F-14 in the movie yet still being realistic enough to show that you have to hook up external air/power to start the engines.

Though I will say the SU-57's can do that all day.
Please noone let Nicholas Hoult and Anya-Taylor Joy procreate they will literally give birth to a cat

By Punished Go To Post250 million for The Irishman is scandalous. Where tf did the money go to
By Frustrated_me Go To PostAnya-Taylor Joy is so hotShe kind of looks like a ferret
By Lunatic Go To PostShe kind of looks like a ferretThe two things aren’t mutually exclusive.

By reilo Go To PostThe castDisgraceful on Netflix’s part for spunking that much for such a mid film.
First of all, how dare you
But second of all, Netflix overpaying for mid films has been their strategy

They were really hoping they won the Oscar by now. When they didn’t with Roma they just said fuck it and started pumping them out by the dozen. And then they thought they were nailed on this year and lost to Apple’s mid film lol
Netflix films I’d give 7/10 or above to
Beasts of No Nation
Okja
The Meyerowitz Stories
Private Life
The Ballad of Buster Scruggs
Roma
High Flying Bird
The Irishman
Marriage Story
Da 5 Bloods
I’m Thinking of Ending Things
His House
The Harder They Fall
Passing

Aviator and Gangs of New York were both $100mil budgets and they're 20 years old. Just because it's not CG heavy doesn't mean the money isn't going anywhere lol.

You gotta think, a film like Irishman which spans a few decades - costumes, cars, CGI to change exteriors, the amount of extras they had in scenes, the amount of big name actors doing small roles… it all adds up.
By Perfect Blue Go To PostBuster Scruggs and Da 5 Bloods well clear as the best films there
Irishman and Bloods the only ones I’d say I love. A lot that I like though.
Howls moving castle is pretty good. About half way through.
Not nearly as enthralling as Princess Mononoke tho

The Northman was decent.
-The action/combat scenes weren't noteworthy in any way, some of them being just mediocre.
-The special effects/CGI were.....really bad? Was not expecting that. Holy fuck the CGI at the end took me out of it.
-rest of the movie looked cool and was paced well. Runtime flew by.
-music was good too.
But yeah, it's pretty much what I feared pre release. Eggers' first big budget affair resulted in a competently made movie I'll forget about and never watch again. Leagues below vvitch and the lighthouse.

pam grier was something else.
Got tickets to an Aronofsky Q&A later in the month. Will be sure to ask him if he's ever heard of a guy by the name of Satoshi Kon.

Just a few snippets

I think it’s important to accept that the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) is not cinema, or even art. It’s content, the true medium/form/thing of the 21st century. Approaching content with the same critical tools you’d reserve for film or TV or any other traditional art-form is like waging war on an alien deity with a slingshot. You should prostrate yourself before it; there is no way to do battle with it on anything but its terms. Content is entirely novel and homogenous at once, cursed to turn stale as soon as it hits shelves, yet blessed with the half-life of irradiated plutonium. Content creates nothing but more content for the sake of more content, feeding its past to its present to birth its future.
The brilliance of Disney’s content deluge is the way in which it reshapes everything around it into content also. Be it queer identities, schizoaffective personality disorder, or the Armenian genocide – everything is grist to the content mill. This is the beauty of a product that holds nothing distinct within it. The MCU has spent a decade and a half honing its voicelessness. That voicelessness sapped a generation of creatives like a parasite, allowing their content to have a universal blank quality that can be adapted to any topic, any vision, any direction, or any change in the market. The result is something that can be anything to anyone: any meaning you can dream of can be attached to this content, like an accessory snapped onto an action figure.
In the MCU, ideas and identities are represented in the same way the idea of Snap, Crackle, and Pop are represented on a cereal box. There’s the sense that any of it can be cut out or pasted in without the viewer feeling much of anything. Be it a gay kiss chopped for release in some Middle Eastern countries, a CIA agent teaming up with our hero to overthrow an African ruler or ending half the life in the universe with a click of your fingers, there is an irreverence to what this content claims to represent that has a whiff of the listicle to it. It doesn’t matter how or why something appears, just so long as it does, reducing it to the importance of a fan Wiki stub, as much a part of the MCU canon as Mjolnir or Howard the Duck.
The most troubled of these bastards might just be Disney’s other colossal shared universe – or galaxy – Star Wars. Once the playground of an inarguably odd little creature (George Lucas, not Yoda), and once decidedly art (I sincerely believe Picasso would have beheld a character like Dexter Jettster and wept), has become, under the stewardship of Disney and MCU creative forefather Jon Favreau, content. Like the MCU, it has had its future mapped out like a sold-off child bride – its portents foretold by the rolled knucklebones of think-tank analytics, focus groups, and ballistic ultra-fans, leading Star Wars, ironically, far far away from what once made it interesting.

Three takeaways from 'Men':
- Jessie Buckley is great.
- Men are trash
- the English are tapped in the head
Highly recommended. Enjoyed it more than Devs and probably Annihilation also. Did I understand what was going on at the end? No. All men are born with a misogynistic original sin? Well not me anyway!
