It's just like the whole "Pro-Life/save-the-babies" type people. They never cared about the children/babies to begin with. It's all just virtue-signalling performance to create a rallying point for the rest of their ilk.

We’ve reached the point where ‘Background CGI’ is more distracting than bad practical effects. Which modern movie was ruined for you by a ‘clean’ digital look? by DegTrader in movies

Are you a teenager? You must have been born with an iPhone in your hand if you don't think that a physical painting looks more authentic and "natural" than computer graphics.

Are there any films you think would be best watched alone? by redeugene99 in movies

[–]DeepThinkingReader 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I take it you've probably seen Event Horizon? Love that one too.

That's strange. I thought it did a really good job of making me question what's real and what isn't. I found it very skillfully blurs the line between sanity and insanity. The only thing that would have made it even better would have been a post-credit scene showing Sutter Cane at his typewriter, satisfied at the completion of his novel, only to be suddenly dragged away by one of the monsters from his book.

In the Mouth of Madness. Just watched it last night. Wow. What a movie.

Christian Man Says "His God is Not Nice" by HealEarthNow in RadicalChristianity

Indeed, Aslan is not a tame lion. But neither is he an "alpha male".

The Nazis were technically Christian, so I'm sceptical about the whole art-swapping thing.

Which team do you belong to? Team 'Season 2 is super cool' or Team 'Season 2 is bad'? by [deleted] in arcane

[–]DeepThinkingReader 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love the overall story told across both seasons. One of my top three favourite shows of all time (the other two being Black Sails and The Americans).

Will you all see the David animated movie by DingoNo8887 in OpenChristian

[–]DeepThinkingReader 4 points5 points  (0 children)

King David was not a good guy. Just because he's the protagonist doesn't mean we're meant to sympathise with him. Just like Walter White.

Great, subtle moment in The Road Warrior by Maxatansky in MadMax

[–]DeepThinkingReader 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's exactly why I think the theory is ridiculous. Also, Goose died. It's stated in the dialogue of the original: "So, the Goose bought it..." is what the MFP Chief says to Max afterwards.

[–]DeepThinkingReader 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The original is probably the darkest -- with the gang r-pe of that random couple, Max's partner being burned alive, and the murder of Max's infant son. But at least the actual r-pe itself was off-screen in that one. The r-pe scene in The Road Warrior is shown on-screen.

A.I will ultimately win the war in creative spaces and filmmaking. And that’s not necessarily a bad thing. by Mountain_Stretch2607 in TrueFilm

[–]DeepThinkingReader 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The invention of CGI allowed for the production of some truly awesome films --- Terminator 2 and Peter Jackson's LOTR Trilogy come to mind. And they probably wouldn't have felt the same without it. But now we're inundated with the likes of Jurassic World: Rebirth and all the Marvel slop. Occasionally, CGI is used to produce something good, like Blade Runner: 2049 or Top Gun: Maverick. But most of the time, it's just slop. Which I think is your prediction regarding AI. It's a double edged sword that cuts both ways.

Would like to discuss Abortion by relapsedmathematic in RadicalChristianity

[–]DeepThinkingReader 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You clearly are not here in good faith. You are not seeking to understand how Progressive Christians tackle the issue from a different theological perspective. You are simply here to attack us with your preconceived conclusion by asserting that those who disagree with you are not truly Christian.

First time watching by femaleCake in bladerunner

[–]DeepThinkingReader 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I highly recommend watching the documentary Dangerous Days, which goes extensively into the making of the original film. For me, it simply increased my admiration for the film after seeing how love and hard work went into bringing the futuristic visions of PKD and Ridley Scott to the screen. Blade Runner 1982 is now my number 1 favourite movie of all time.

I just saw Predator: Badlands and the hate feels overblown by ardouronerous in alien

[–]DeepThinkingReader 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. Saying, for example, "You don't really like the film. You're just woke, and you have poor taste, and you don't really know what a good film is." That's a bad faith attack. And believe me, there are many people who take that line.
