best car commercial ever !
jokes besides this is an incredible achievement especially when the 2 thrusters land at the same time at 9:31 and also the core part of the rocket managed to land at sea on a platform.
i would love to be the music supervisor in their control room so i could do a vynil scratch sound effect during that bowie song if the launch failed.

Also there's this trailer for Annihilation which looks fucking great to me. I was a fan of the books when they came out a few years ago, good weird fiction, and it looks like the movie is going to follow the weirdness unabashedly, which is very surprising but has me very hopeful. Not sure it deserves its own thread so I'll just post it here for now.
yesss so excited for this. The books are a lot of fun and I loved Ex Machina, Alex Garland was a great choice for the adaptation.
Watched The Bad Batch on netflix the other day, I loved it. Also rewatched Ravenous recently, guess I've been in the mood for cannibalism.
apparently vandermeer saw the film and really liked it, and even said it's actually more surreal and weirder than the books. doesn't seem like he'd hype things up so i'm cautiously optimistic for it. alex garland has come a long way since the beach. i remember when he supposedly got a million dollars to adapt halo into a movie...
was planning to see it in the cinema later this month, even put a reminder in the google calendar. but:
The film is scheduled to be released on February 23, 2018.[18] On December 7, 2017, it was announced that due to clashes between Scott Rudin and David Ellison, and the shift in Paramount's leadership, a deal was struck with Netflix handling international distribution. According to this deal, Paramount will handle the US and China release, while Netflix will begin streaming the film overseas 17 days later.
Due to a poor test screening, Ellison became concerned that the film was "too intellectual" and "too complicated" and demanded changes to make it appeal to a wider audience – including making Portman's character more sympathetic and changing the ending. Rudin sided with Garland in his desire to not alter the film, defending the film and refusing to take notes (Rudin also has final cut on the film).[19] In an interview with Collider a week later, Garland admitted to being disappointed by the turn of events and the deal, stating, "We made the film for cinema. I've got no problem with the small screen at all. The best genre piece I've seen in a long time was The Handmaid's Tale, so I think there's incredible potential within that context, but if you're doing that – you make it for that [medium] and you think of it in those terms. Look... it is what it is. The film is getting a theatrical release in the States, which I'm really pleased about. One of the big pluses of Netflix is that it goes out to a lot of people and you don't have that strange opening weekend thing where you're wondering if anyone is going to turn up and then if they don't, it vanishes from cinema screens in two weeks. So it's got pluses and minuses, but from my point of view and the collective of the people who made it – [it was made] to be seen on a big screen."

it's pretty damn stupid, feels a lot like those modern AAA sci-fi/rpg video games when it comes to acting and writing. but it throws in so much cool ideas and twists and with the general flashiness and pulpiness of the whole thing it ends up being pretty fun overall.
i take it all back. after watching all of the episodes, my verdict is that it's an irredeemable trash. from the episode where his sister appears and to the end it's pretty much unwatchable. just a really nasty mix of horrendous acting and writing spiced up with tits and gore in a really sleazy teenage way.

ASCII stars for movie ratings? shit just got real.

the post is plain godawful. it's basically a propaganda movie completely devoid of any artistry, and it doesn't matter that it's a propaganda for something that most liberals would agree is positive. it's just horrible to treat something as powerful as press in such an uncritical and shallow manner, and frame it like some good guys vs bad guys thing. the decision to focus on a rich as fuck and well connected publisher and build the dramatic climax around her is plain misguided. what did she really have at stake? the worst that could happen is that she would lose the paper and still remain rich as fuck and untouchable due to her social network. i guess she was chosen to be the platform for all those countless of "oh look how sexist it was back and how difficult it was for the women!" shoved in scenes. using all those feminists platitudes to evoke some kind of righteous and self satisfied agreement from the audience is just really pornographic. best picture oscar nominee, fuck me, hollywood is truly sick.

lol, all of the songs linked so far are from more than 30 years ago, probably the worst kind of obituary a working musician can have.
You don't know what you are talking about.
i don't think you understood what i was talking about.

she's gotta have it - spike's lee own remake of his older film for tv. it's really quite striking how skillful and imaginative he is as a director and how deft and light his touch is. great pacing, editing, montages, framing, photography, music and other stylistic choices working in tandem really make for a fun, brisk and engaging watch even if i don't really care for the topic much. other high-end tv outings just look like a fucking chore when compared to this.

thor 3 - i guess it's moderately entertaining and often funny but as much as i'd hate to get all rubin farr on this, it really does lose the plot with all that wisecrackery. i mean you have to have some sort of core even in a flick like this, and not just use it as a setting for shoving as many jokes per minute as possible. it kinda makes the whole thing much more pointless than it should be.

counterpart is almost kinda ok i guess? simmons and the setting are good and it doesn't feel too TV, but despite such a cool premise, it's just not exciting or engaging enough and peppered with things that just don't make sense. something really undercooked and underthought about the writing. discovering another fucking universe and then going on about the usual business the next day as if nothing happened just felt really off. a boss that should be some kind of dark and wise mastermind is just some spoiled yuppie. the flower thing was just too obvious. the idea of sending a message via repeatedly trying to kill the wife of the counterpart...stupid. dunno bout that biz but i'll stick for a couple more to see where it's going i guess.

i like rlm. it's like listening to some pub talk about movies, it's contradictory, rambly and ranty, very subjective, all over the place and generally amusing. and there are few interesting insights and observations here and there. i generally can get a good feel of the movie from their talks. not seeing them as film critics will probably help.
the music choice for that list of films directed by james franco that no one has seen made me lol a lot.

i started watching it, thought it's shit, and found something better in the same vein instead - misfits. it's about a bunch of british juvie criminals/chavs getting hit by some weird lightning and gaining all kinds of special abilities. it's very raunchy, morally ambiguous, often surprisingly creepy, unhinged and all over the place writing wise. it's all self-contained around the grey and depressing community center the chavs have to do their hours at. their and others' superpowers are interestingly treated as some kind of "oh, by the way" thing while regular and depressing british life goes on. there's a good chemistry between the main characters that makes it all work. don't know why i'm watching tv shows for teens.

this would be great for arm wrestling competitions.

zeff, what really gets me is how quickly something so virtual became a thing that people value irl. like when, how and why did this confidence to trade meth, child porn and now legal stuff as well for bitcoins became real.
also regarding the 21m bitcoins, why does it matter that it's limited to 21m when you can have and use ultimately small fractions of bitcoins?
i haven't seen your vid yet.
When you look at other things from the same perspective it makes sense.
- How do pieces of paper generate value? I mean they're just pieces of paper with a serial number and a dead President's face on them
on this point i'd say that papers have value because you can buy services using those papers from the same (more or less) body that issued them. the ground is much more shakier with e-coins in this regard.
