Topic | About to watch "Ringu" for the first time. |
AlisLandale 10/31/19 2:15:21 AM #32 | So the remake was pretty good. Dont know what I like better between it and the original. The original felt a lot more mysterious. It felt like a real ghost story, with a pretty minimalist approach to the spook. The remake looked better, had more spooky moments to keep my interest in the middle, and we learned more about Samara than we did about Sadako. The jump scares I heard about werent nearly as bad as I anticipated. The climax I think was better done in the Japanese version. Sadakos one eye was a better touch than seeing Samaras whole face. And seeing another mangled face of a victim didnt really add much. But the remake had a more satisfying, if less subtle, way of tying all the different themes together with the final montage. But missed the opportunity to bring it full circle with another ghost story like the original did. Bahhhh, cant choose. Theyre both good, and Im not nearly well read enough of film to get picky about the nitty gritty. Gonna watch Ju-On later today lol. Halloween! --- |

AlisLandale 10/31/19 12:57:27 AM #28 | Theyre really going all in on the CSI stuff to track down this tape. Its actually pretty cool. She grabbed a fly out of the video tape wut lol. Godnorgosh posted... I didn't think Ringu was scary. But the American remake is a completely different story. That was terrifying. That remake did so much right with the liberties it took, like Hans Zimmer's excellent score and the eerie setting of the Pacific Northwest. I will say the atmosphere is a lot more creepy in the American version. Outside of like two scenes, the only parts of the original that had me tense were the beginning and the end. --- |

So far this movie is pretty much identical though. Zikten posted... Watch Juon next if you haven't seen it. Original Japanese version of The Grudge Thats the plan >_> --- |

AlisLandale 10/30/19 10:35:52 PM #21 | Nah, Star Wars shouldnt be a homogenous universe like Marvel. Its a galaxy filled with all sorts of alien cultures, environments, governments, and conflicts. Sure, the main numbered movies should share a similar tone and feel, but gaiden movies like RO will benefit by giving directors more individual freedom. --- |

Topic | New study confirms: Men are funnier than Women |
AlisLandale 10/30/19 10:28:18 PM #37 | I wouldnt be surprised by this finding, and the reasoning makes sense, but Im curious about their methodology with the judges. The judges demographic could easily influence the kind of humor they are receptive to. I also dont know if women find other women funnier, less funny, or the same as men and if thats accounted for in the judge selection. --- |

AlisLandale 10/30/19 10:23:57 PM #16 | Tbh Im more interested in the non-Jedi force monks from RO than I am about the origins of the Jedi. >_> If the transition is too hard to write then they should just do a 50-100 year time skip and finally move past the movie timeline. Let all the fussy details be authors notes and backstory and move the mythology forward. --- |

I think its what he does to the mythology that people dont like. Like his current Superman run isnt that bad (but he should be forbidden from writing any more Flash dialogue), but stuff like Rogol Zar and aging up Jon Kent have people all in a tiff. --- |

From what I remember, the test isnt meant to be an individual indicator of quality, but a lithmus test to observe trends in storytelling. Of course, the original test came from a feminist comic where the character refused to watch any movie that failed to meet those criteria lol. --- |

Its the second best level theme in gaming (after spooky levels) but YL screws it up by making the entire level a big empty building. Even with the transformation (a freaking helicopter) you spend more time travelling between challenges than you do actually playing them. Some of the ideas in the level are fun but theyre not strung together in a way thats actually fun. --- |

Topic | Why am I like this in JRPGs? |
AlisLandale 10/29/19 11:03:13 PM #3 | During your formative years you were surrounded by bullies who physically oppressed you. This conditioned you with an instinctual drive for strength, and any compromise fills you with dread and anxiety because in the back of your mind you just need to be the strongest, so no one will ever be able to bully you again. ...or JRPGS are just poorly balanced and incentivize max attack because most encounters are trash mobs that dont penalize you for neglecting defense --- |

AlisLandale 10/29/19 9:04:27 PM #24 | I want a shonen battle anime where the MC works hard but never succeeds because he neglected to network when he was in ninja college The rival character can be some mediocre kid who is strictly worse than the MC in every way except hes socially competent which allows him to steal all the MCs opportunities.
