I'd say it was the wonder of practical effects.
CGI has done some amazing shit, but there's still no substitute for occasionally filming something that's actually there. |

Is cat who think is dog! BWA-HA-HAAA!
At least one star goes for the courtesy fast-forward. A great many other videos could learn something from this one. |

Usually I think overly roomy spaceships are royally stupid, impractical, and unrealistic affectations that filmmakers just can't bring themselves to abandon. However, for some weird reason, the Cygnus is one of my favorite ship designs. It's probably a nostalgia thing.
Also, I once had a Maximilian (the big red robot) model kit. I loved putting that thing together. |

I guess Dragonslayer counts as part of that "Death Cult" era, eh? I still think a lot of the FX sequences are incredible and awesome to watch. I do know that even with it being rated PG and distributed by Paramount, Disney still got a lot of complaints from parents (I suppose they never thought a Walt Disney movie would feature a princess being eaten by baby dragons). That inspired them to found Touchstone Pictures for their non kid-friendly films.
Ironically, I find their so-called "all ages" live action productions, from movies to TV, some of the media most likely to turn your kids into smartass hellions with all the social skills and imagination of a scratched "Full House" DVD. |

This may be an urban legend, but I heard that Harlan Ellison was the science adviser on this film for about half a day. As the story goes, he was hired, then he made the mistake of going to lunch in the studio commissary.
Allegedly, he sat with a bunch of other Disney employees and started talking to them about how great a Disney cartoon porno would be, reciting sex scenes while "doing the voices" of the characters involved.
Ellison returned to his office, finding his pink slip on his desk, as he hadn't noticed the executives sitting a table or two away during his X-rated recital. |

I hear they're remaking this film.
And I do realize the above comment can probably be attached to more than half of the movie clips on this site. |

True, but you did get to watch a Wayans get killed. It doesn't justify the rest of it, but it is a bit of sweet relief amidst the horror. |

I hear he likes to sneak away for a quick nap. It's hard to catch him in the office. |

And to be honest, it was less terrible than the first one. It was still el cheapo stuff, but you had a vulc-- er, elf mage beam-- er, I mean, teleport into a wall and lose her arm. That's got to count for something.
Also, I don't recall any rangers wearing pink. |

Dredd (2012) - Trailer
06/22/12, 22:53
From what little I've read of the comic, shouldn't the city and the vehicles look more like something out of the 5th Element and not "we didn't have any money, so here's some motorcycles with fiberglass shells on them"?
Also, there needs to be some kind of law against using a "bat voice." I'd rather they autotuned the actual voice track down an octave so it didn't sound like a ten-year-old trying to be a superhero. |

One of my favorite slogans I've seen on the 'net recently went something like:
"Minimum wage is a way of saying if it wasn't for the law, they'd pay you even less." |

Is it more addictive than marijuana?
06/22/12, 12:17
Hooker: The problem being that you could go in for a burger and fries and come out not as coherent as you wanted to be otherwise. I'm pointing out that someone getting boozed up next to me has no effect on my own mental faculties, and smoking tobacco has no short-term effect other than making me smell like an ashtray.
It's something to consider when it comes to regulation if it were to be legalized. |

Is it more addictive than marijuana?
06/22/12, 01:48
I'm all for making pot legal, if for no other reason than it's a stupid waste of money to incarcerate those who grow and sell the stuff (with the exception to underage patrons). Were it to be made legal, I could see one problem with it: contact highs, or as I like to call it "second hand toke."
My wife did home visits for a school she used to work for. She and another teacher found the parents they were interviewing quite surprised at said visit, since they'd completely forgotten it was happening, and had been enjoying their weed to great excess. Even with all the windows open, it only took ten minutes for my wife and her co-worker to get quite loopy and return to the school with a bad case of the giggles.
I only bring this up because I'm trying to imagine the effect if a bar, even with a "smoking section," replaced all of its current clouds of tobacco smoke with that from marijuana. |

I'd be curious to know how a typical libertopian would react if they were told, "we're going to pay you half of what you'd been earning before, but because you do so, it's possible the next generation will earn a little more."
I have a feeling their principles would quickly take a hike. |

Archie Bunker a Lizard

Given that he's dead anyway, I find it really hard to care that he was a lizard, even if I were brain damaged enough to think it was true.
I mean, if one were a shapeshifting dominant race that disguised oneself to... do whatever, I'd think being made to play a racist old white guy on TV was some kind of punishment for something I did when I was disguised as Richard Nixon. |

I didn't quite get how this was "proving" anything until I saw this uploader's almost identically-named video in the related section.
From what I gather, it's because of how his eyes look and that he licked his lips. So if you've ever used your tongue to wet your lips for any reason, you're a reptillian. |

The people defending this stuff in the YT comments are just such incredible caricatures of the worst kind of greedy sociopath. When I subjected myself to them when it was in the hopper, one of them referred to taking issue with the obvious truth of this video as something like having nothing better to do than "criticize your betters."
Because not only does wealth equal free speech, it also is the only measure of a person's value that matters. Any attempt to scrutinize how said wealth was gained is being an uppity peasant communist class-warfare jerk... |
