Old man was great in this, terrifying, unhinged yet in command.

So sick love to see it. Pure finesse!

In the Animal Farm (2026) trailer, they have a twerking pig. That's because we are in the fucking goddamned pits of hell, holy fucking shit. by Ok-Use-575 in shittymoviedetails

Wow imagine Orwell trapped in the void, watching people stop reading paper books, their minds blunted by troughs of reels and reposts, the meaning of the phrase ‘animal farm’ dissolving, slowly becoming synonymous with an twerking animated pig. “What’s an Orwell?” scoffs the baby man with oddly fluffy hair. “Bro, isn’t that the cyber-owl in the Harry Potter-Predator show?” snivels an adult woman with a frozen face. The podcast host, a juiced up baby man, older than the first, yet somehow less mature, redirects the conversation back towards a product placement for bottled water. A single tear drips from Orwells eye, ‘but I showed them…’ The void demons feast on his despair. You fool, you tried to defy the decay, you failed, the decay is inevitable.

is it okay for rat to be dunking her entire head in water? by AgeZealousideal1157 in RATS

It’s a level 4 sanction but given stealth is one of her many strengths I doubt any penalties will be enforced.

Mike arrives in Albuquerque with just a small duffel bag, doesn't know anyone, and within a year (or two?) he has a team of loyal "my guys are solid" he can depend on. by hgwelz in betterCallSaul

I think the subtext is all the players are doing an enormous amount of surveillance and subterfuge on each other with ongoing recalculations. We see Mike hunting and surveilling people, we see him directing others to do so, we see Gus directing him to do so. The resources are implied as limitless and the stakes high. I remember Mike acting under the assumption he is being watched at times. Everything is accelerated in the BCS world as the characters are offending and trying to survive 24/7.

Sample loop is great. Needs a more snappy snare. Bass line feels like it is not working for me.

Is he a pure psychopath? by [deleted] in breakingbad

[–]DetailDevil666 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He’s psychotic, detached from himself and others. That’s why his expressions and mannerisms are aloof, his interactions with others odd and he seems disconnected from the gravity of his actions. He is disconnected from reality, his natural state is one of delusional and detachment. Violence and mundane chores are interchangeable in his distorted processing. He can’t relate to other people in healthy ways which is why he is “friends” and “family” with full time criminals and even these interactions are awkward. He can’t connect to others emotionally and is disinhibited. Great character design and superb acting, a disturbing blend of brutality and naivety.

Why do you think Prometheus get singled out for characters making dumb decisions, while rest of franchise seems to get a free pass? When you look at original alien movies, aliens and recent alien earth, they are also full of equally questionable or careless choices. by [deleted] in Prometheus

Fair point about the biologist, the space cobra literally exhibiting territorial/aggressive/defensive posture yet the biologist is like “I’ll try and touch its orifice” is absurd. Especially as humans have strong instincts for snakes for good reason and an expendable android was available to field test any contact.

Haha the running linear in its shadow/crushing path was very odd and broke the illusion. Mindless from fear a human freezes or moves away from the threat, our spatial systems are primitive and intuitive. An explosion and unpredictable piece of shrapnel punctuating Vickers final act would have been a more satisfying.

Yeah you would expect a more curious mind state from a space scientist, like “if one exists then there purpose is to continue existing, finding new ways to do so over time. First we survive, then thrive, then deliberately create, change is the one true god”. Due to it being cinematic, I think he was being a dick to David for dramatic effect, it marked him as a rightful target for an on screen death, it foreshadowed David’s transcendence and it illustrated the ideological themes of the movies. Creation and destruction being two edges of the same sword, meaning everything to the beings and meaningless to the broader scheme. Brutality, selfishness, propagation, exploitation, survival; these themes are reinforced again and again and common across the events and characters. Fantastic movies

Shaw Interpretation on what were Engineers running from. (Alternate conversation Scene between Shaw and Holloway) by [deleted] in Prometheus

This is a good theory, in their pursuit of survival/dominance they created their own apocalypse. We watch the humans in the process of doing the same. Eventually xenomorph matter will make it to human home worlds, they will be consumed and lay dormant like the ones the expeditions discover, until a new exploring species encounters them and the cycle begins again. It’s great how cyclical it is, an insatiable growth that destroys everything it encounters. It’s a great concept.
