well it was a good movie but kinda...depressing? would've also been cool if they had more natives that weren't total beasts. but the overall atmosphere was great.

 

[RobotNinjaHornets]

I've been meaning to watch Bone Tomahawk

Kurt Russell <3

God damn it, i finally decide I'm going to watch lucha underground and of course theres no fucking links anywhere and no legal way to watch it.

I should catch up on this

I started watching it when it started but couldn't decide if I enjoyed how cheesy it was or not

 

[Jobbs]

May have to watch Pacific Rim soon. I thought the movie was a snore when I saw it years ago, but my GF has been trying to convince me that it's awesome. I guess a second viewing may be in order.

Pacific Rim is rad as fuck

You have bad taste

 

[You Know Nothing]

Good morning.

Good morning, Poppy.

First wrestling now Pacific Rim...why are you so eager to prove how bad your taste is?

I watched it in Dbox and it helped the experience. Pacific Rim would make a cool ride.

Pacific Rim is a blast.

Pacific Rim is ok. It's no Pan's Labyrinth or Hellboy or the other pics he has done tho.

I'm learning all kinds of new things today.


I think one of my problems with Pacific Rim was the "...but why?"ness of it was so high that I had trouble suspending my disbelief.

Wrestling the monsters seems like such a terribly inefficient and unnecessarily dangerous/costly solution. Mount huge guns on the robot and blast them from a mile away. Two miles. Ten miles. It makes no sense.

 

[You Know Nothing]

More like Pacific Rimjob amirite?

(A shitty rimjob.)

 

[Funky Papa]

Ok, now I'm legit angry at Mr Robot.

That dealer better get torn to pieces by a pack dingos.

Fuck.

Edit: FUUUUUUUCK.

I recommended Pacific Rim based on what I knew to a group of friends after we'd been on a bender and amidst the morning after hangover had decided to go see a movie. We wanted something dumb, fun, loud, colourful, and over the top. It was perfect.

Good morning, Poppy.

:3

Because that wouldn't be rad

That's why

Pacific Rim was extremely meh to me

It was inoffensive fun but it wasn't particularly good

Also lol @ Jobbs wanting to apply logic to a movie with giant mechs and interdimensional monsters

Difference between applying logic and internal logic.

Okay, what do we have at play here? We have mechs, monsters, and guns. We have all of these things in the world and yet they choose to wrestle the monsters at great personal risk and cost. The internal logic struggle - things not making sense within the context - is the reason this particular problem was so distracting for me.

I'm not going to pretend it was a good movie but it was exactly what I needed at the time.

First: traditional guns and missiles didn't work, as shown at the beginning
Second: poison blood. Killing the kaiju via internal bleeding and blunt force trauma is much preferable as they then would then not have to quarantine large areas of the world
Third: that's less rad

 

[Halcyon]

Pacific Rim is fucking awful and liking things just because it's 'geeky' which is what I believe is happening makes me want to dispense wedgies.

This strikes me as "..because she breathes through her skin" tier. Details designed specifically to get to a predetermined endpoint: Robots wrestling monsters/Girl wearing no clothes ever.

Again, I'm certainly not mocking anyone for liking the movie (my GF likes it!) I'm just pointing out how distracting the "..but why?"s were for me

I don't like it because it's "geeky"

I like it because it's a dumb, crazy film that probably shouldn't exist

I've heard enough nerd. Now prepare to be pants'd. Becky is waiting for me at Gamma Beta ALPHA and we are going streaking though the quad.

But the internal logic is consistent. And I mean, it's not like toxic blood hasn't been a plot element in other things before, look at Alien

This also applies to fans of anime

One Punch Man and Gurren Lagann are better than anything you like

Your avatar and this post combined are extra hilarious

I'm sitting here gaffing while waiting for my wife to put vinegar in her hair for some god knows what reasoning so I can watch Captain America beat up Spoderman like a true non-geek

 

[SolVanderlyn]

I think it's weird how superhero movies aren't nerd material anymore.

Uh huh

I'm sure you even have reasons for saying this

Relax. It could have been a cockroach or a cricket or something bigger and scarier.

Find it and destroy it.

Mosquitoes deserve no mercy.

nerds won like 20 years ago, no matter how many people tell you otherwise.

Crickets are just annoying.

Shut the fuck up with your chirping. I don't need to know you're trying to have sex.

Dismissing entire genres and genre fans is so fucking anachronistic and condescending.

I'm only half serious! I've liked certain anime at various points in my life.

But don't you shit on RNH about wrestling?

Pacific Rim was retarded.
