Oscars 2024: The Zone of BARBENHEIMER (LIVE)
Luzifer's right hand replied to Mladen's topic in Entertainment
Anatomy of a Fall had enough English language content to qualify I see. A great movie. Deserving of multiple Oscars I feel. -

On a random side note I just read that David J. Peterson was involved in the creation of the language used in the film. I remember him as a fan at a worldcon who was enthusiastic about creating languages some time before he got involved with GoT IIRC. His filmography is crazy at this point. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_J._Peterson

Blame it on the Romans.

I noticed details I did not notice before in the IMAX. So if you are a normal person unlike me and only plan to watch it once I recommend that. I have not seen it in Dolby Cinema though and at least with the first one the sound with Dolby Atmos(which is used without Dolby Vision quite often) was superior to the one in the local IMAX. The director did recommend that sound solution for the first movie so I think you can't go wrong with picking that if you have the option as sound is a very important aspect of this movie.

Well to be honest the setting only makes slightly more sense if all the book explanations for the tech are including. The idea that factions that refuse to use WMDs would keep control of an interstellar empire is ridiculous. Even if you assume that the empire could deny factions willing to use WMDs access to interstellar travel planetary factions willing to use them would take control of most planets over time. Edit: the shield/laser interaction is something that should never be mentioned. Only makes sense in a setting in which oppressed people are too stupid for terrorism. I enjoyed the books too but it's a setting that only makes sense with weird internal logic not some hard SF tale that makes sense if you take it apart.

Ukraine War: incompetence vs fecklessness
Luzifer's right hand replied to Kalbear's topic in General Chatter
I think one thing that even the most pessimistic of us overlooked is that getting men of other ethnic groups killed is not really a problem for Russia. More a side benefit. -

Friends: TV Show 1994 - 2004 (Sitcoms)
Luzifer's right hand replied to A True Kaniggit's topic in Entertainment
Never saw a lot of it when it aired back in the day. I have been binging ancient TV shows for a while now though and not including SF/F this is probably my 3rd favourite oldish show I watched so far after Fraiser and The King of Queens. -
Personally I'm surprised that people with purist leanings would even watch the 2nd movie after seeing the 1st one. I mean I love it but I did not even enjoy the first season of GoT and that is a far more purist adaption.

I saw the trailer in cinema and I loled when they mentioned that there is a faction that is Texas/California.
