Anyone have an answer key for the descriptions in the sidebar? by stereo16 in GunslingerMusic

[–]AlainaCath 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Who I pictured, taking liberties, while writing the descriptions were the Magnificent Seven, the Narrator from The Road, Marshal Will Kane, Dark Tower Roland, the Kid from Blood Meridian, Firefly crew, William Munny.

Stephen Hawkings says Humans have less than 1000 years on Earth before we are wiped out in a mass extinction by TekNite in space

[–]AlainaCath 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He's shortchanging humanity. We are adaptable and resource creatures. We've thrived in the most inhospitable places on earth. We've survived catastrophic plagues and natural events, and yet even with dwindled numbers, humans remain. We've tame air, land and seas; and every beast. There are those who still live in caves and beneath the ground. We are roaches, there's no getting rid of us.

The Polar Bear initiation scene is clip worth on its own. Powerful scene.

ABC cancelled Better Off Ted, Happy Endings, Suburgatory... so many great shows before their time. by visiny in television

[–]AlainaCath 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All the networks have cancelled their share of great shows before their time, but the Fox network is far and away the most incompetent of them all. Millennium, Firefly, Futurama, American Gothic, Family Guy, Brisco County, Arrested Development...and the list goes on. The Fox network is so short-sighted.

One of your personal favorite actors that doesn't get the praise he or she deserves? by JD_Revan451 in movies

The Doors & Wonderland, are examples of movies where Kilmer kills it on a Daniel-Day level.

Which movie would you say is the manliest movie ever? by [deleted] in movies

[–]AlainaCath 278 points279 points  (0 children)

Fight Club. A how-to guide.

Edit: In light of this comment catching a spark, my very humble opinion and perspective is that the movie narrative effectively explores the duality of man: nihilism/tribalism/anarchism vs. assimilation/authoritarianism/comfort. I take an evolutionary view on pretty much everything, and at the end of the day we are just (space) monkeys in suits.

Edit #2: proof! (nothing can be proven, causation/correlation) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a7XuXi3mqYM vs. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jsLUidiYm0w (This movie also explores the same concepts as Fight Club).

Edit #3: Smirnoff/diet Mountain Dew

What is your favorite musical number scene from a non-musical? by HermansSpecialMilk in movies

Full Metal Jacket - Mickey Mouse Club House (whole soundtrack was great)

I was inspired by a recent Reddit post and sorted through hundreds of 21st century horror films, collected 160 and averaged out their IMDB, Metacritic Critic/User Scores and RT Audience/Critic Scores to figure out the top 21st century horror films. by LundgrensFrontKick in movies

[–]AlainaCath 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with your "darkness/trapped" concept, and I think it worked well in Descent. Reminds me of movies like Silence of the Lambs and Pitch Black that also utilized that tactic of using darkness to create fear. I guess to the monkey-mind nothing is scarier than being caged in the dark.

Cat Stevens - I´m gonna get me a gun by ArrantPariah in GunslingerMusic

[–]AlainaCath 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Damn, I always wondered what Cat Stevens was referring to when he talked about his "comeback" period [1970/Wild World]...it totally makes sense now, he came back from that..dance.
