The book is fine. The opening pages tell us clearly that we are nuking bugs on planets with intelligent beings, using all the ammo (because it’s too expensive to return with nukes) and leaving for another planet with bugs.
After that we jump to our protagonist, who is being brainwashed in high school.
Finally, Heinlein was writing his father’s worldview and wanted to take it to its logical end.
I love that book and movie.
There’s a theory that the main character actually is suffering from cancer and that the love interest is also a lens for him to confront who he really is.
Fascinating how that upends it all, but I am not sure I believe it.
He did engage, by saying that the only superhero is Jesus, which did indeed kill the humor.
It’d be even more amazing if the original owner was still around and then it was stolen.
SCP was kinda my entrypoint into creepypasta, so I appreciate the clarification. Wouldn’t have known there was a prior inspiration to it.
Looks like the IKEA SCP as a movie.
I’m a Community superfan. Still waiting on the movie.
I think his point isn’t that the shows are great but that the actors are in a show that airs five hours a week, and there isn’t really anywhere else in tv to get that amount of time working and developing your skills anymore.
This makes perfect sense given the massive purchase they just… hey, wait a minute…
More or less agreed.
It was overstuffed, but since it was never meant to be a theatrical cut, chose to lean into the excess.
The Zack Snyder Justice League cut was not a good movie, in my opinion, but it did justify Ray Fisher’s complaint that Joss Whedon cut the soul from the movie while editing out the Cyborg arc.
The Netflix shows did a great job of making their version of New York be connective tissue between them.
There was an elephant too?!
I think it’s just tier enough.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is a Daredevil parody/love letter.
They get their powers from the same accident that gives Matt Murdoch his.
Mentor? Splinter / Stick. Enemy? The Foot / The Hand.
I am like you and cannot stand a dirty glass piece. I evaluate each new purchase in part based on how hard it will be to clean.
But at first I didn’t notice the community, and all the sparkly glass arty pieces around the house are cleaned by my wife.
Keith David as Norman Osborne?
“Cairo showed that in her function, they didn’t cancel out as expected. Instead, their interference created uneven patterns, causing the function’s energy to spread out over some areas and concentrate in others in a fractal-like way that the Mizohata-Takeuchi conjecture prohibited.”
Also she’s 17 and going for her doctorate without either a GED or undergraduate degree, which is certainly interesting.
Good but not great. They dump the battlesuits entirely. For budget reasons this makes sense at the time but that investment in equipment (and to a lesser extent the soldiers within) shows the cost of space travel and how we are spending insane amounts to kill space bugs that are on most worlds.
But they, in turn, use the infantry rush of unarmored soliders pretty well to show the cost of war.
The use of propaganda in the media mirrors the indoctrination well enough. It keeps the audience from completely getting on board with the propaganda since it’s so on the nose. (Some will still swallow it, the same way some people saw The Boondock Saints as an awesome hero flick rather than an over-the-top action comedy.)
