| Topic | So who else doesn't give a hard s*** about the Snyder Cut? |
| Tom Clark 02/15/21 4:07:03 AM #10 | I'll probably watch it just out of curiosity to see how much Whedon did/didn't change, but I don't expect it to be any good. It's basically a version of a film we all thought was shit first time around, but this time solely made by a director that everyone blames for everything shit about the first wave of DC movies. Oh, and they've added in the Joker that we all thought was dreadful, too. It's a "here's that movie you hated, only we've added more of the things you dislike!" situation, and they've kinda inadvertently struck gold in that there aren't really any new movies coming out at the moment so they've got a captive audience gagging for anything new to watch/discuss. It will be an interesting curiosity piece, but anyone expecting it to be a good movie is probably in for a disappointment tbh. --- |

| Topic | What did you think about the Elisa Lam Netflix documentary? |
| Tom Clark 02/12/21 10:45:43 PM #28 | I felt like the show didn't really know what it wanted to be. The story of Elisa's death itself is obviously not something that warrants four full episodes of exploration - and the fact that it was just a tragic accident brought about by her illness makes the attempt to turn it into a documentary somewhat ghoulish - but the things they used to pad it out just fell flat and didn't really run on any internal logic. Was it an expos on the dangers of internet mob mentality and how easy it is to be suckered in to conspiracy theories online? If so then it dropped the ball, because the show lost any moral high ground in criticising the way that that poor black metal guy's life got ruined by the accusations when the show itself ended the previous episode with close-ups of him played over sinister music as some form of cliffhanger that screamed "LOOK AT THIS SCARY BASTARD!"; and it's similarly hard to buy that the show was trying to make a point about the dangers of people being suckered into wild theories when the show itself deliberately left out so many major facts about the story until the back half of the last episode, effectively perpetrating the sort of crazy paranoia that it was supposed to be decrying. It's one thing to try and make a point about how easily people can get suckered into false narratives online (and honestly that would be a very pertinent subject for exploration as of late), but it's another thing to present those same false narratives without counterpoint for several hours. It's like... I'm sure we were supposed to find it disturbing that the weird part of the internet was descending on the roof of the hotel with videocameras to have a look around, but the point is very much lost when presented as part of a documentary that was...well... doing exactly that. But then, as well as that, was it aspiring to be an exploration of skid row, or the history of the hotel itself? Because a few random scenes - completely orphaned for the rest of the scenes around them - of "Skid Row historians" talking over poverty-porn shots of people on the streets, or people gleefully saying that Richard Ramirez went to the hotel once wasn't really the way to do it - if anything it was like they had some unused footage from their Night Stalker documentary that they didn't know what else to do with. But take out those aspects of the show that fell flat and all you're left with is a disturbingly detailed account of a young lady drowning. And it was just uncomfortable to watch, really. Sure, serial killer documentaries are morbid as fuck, too, but with them the fascination and focus is firmly on the perpetrators, the motives, the psychology etc. They don't focus too much on the victims because anything that reminds you too much that real people have died in these events just reminds you that actually this is something really horrible. But there's no serial killer in Elisa's story, no villain or enemy - it's just us watching in salacious detail the story of a poor girl who forgot to take her medicine, had an episode because of it and in her terror accidentally drowned. That's not entertainment, that's not even news, really. It's just desperately sad. --- |

| Tom Clark 02/12/21 4:57:22 PM #12 | In what context? I mean, there's obviously no context at all where this could even seem remotely sane, but I'm morbidly curious as to what their bullshit argument could have been. --- |

| Topic | DINOSAUR LOVE: Turok and Turok 2 coming to PS4 February 25th. |
| Tom Clark 02/12/21 11:45:28 AM #8 | Good to have a release date - I remember the trophy list for the first game being uploaded to psnprofiles at least six months ago, without any official announcement that the game was even coming. I'm cautiously looking forward to playing these again. I suspect that they may seem a bit crap now (Evolution's problem back when it came out was that it followed the formula of the originals pretty closely, but that formula seemed shit in the wake of Halo, so adding another twenty years into the mix makes me worried about how well they'll have aged), but they should be good for an evening of nostalgia if nothing else. --- |

| Topic | Damn, I relapsed last night. |
| Tom Clark 02/11/21 4:49:14 AM #50 | The important thing going forward is to focus on the four years clean, not the one night of weakness. Be proud of yourself for how long you went, and carry that mindset to stay clean going forward, rather than focusing on your relapse and letting yourself spiral because of it. Relapses happen, it's part of the process - having a relapse for one night doesn't make you a failure - the failure comes in letting that one night lead to you throwing away all the good you've accomplished. Your attitude seems good at the moment. You've got this, dude. --- |
