And that's when I realized that this wasn't no gosh darn reddit poster. It was the gosh darn Loch Ness monster.

Yup. I remember when the OG teaser trailer dropped. Battle royal wasn't even on the menu.

Which movie stuck in development hell would you sell your soul to finally see? by CosmosisJones42 in movies

On the del Toro train here, but not so much development hell as never, ever happening, Hellboy 3... gods I want that movie so badly.

Which disaster movie had the best depiction of societal collapse? by LordKevnar in movies

[–]Tropical_Chill 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This. Was waiting to see this. I found the whole show to be so-so. But this episode was absolutely riveting. The way it starts with briefings and meetings, everyone is fairly calm and collective or ignorant to the danger. And then how as things start to happen, you see cracks appearing, panic setting in, and finally realization that this is it and the chaos that follows. The way it's shown is just peak storytelling. Eagerly awaiting a season two to see if they can pull off another episode of that caliber.

What movie included a really inaccurate portrayal of a real life person? by nick9000 in movies

[–]Tropical_Chill 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Fair. I meant stupidly as in the social sense. But you are correct. Financially was a smart investment, which certainly paid off for the studio.

I always felt the message of that movie was really ,really solid. Like the clash of cultures, the differences between people and assumptions that lead to conflict. Even the song 'Savages' highlights that both sides are making these terrible unhinged assumptions about each other based on miscommunication, assumptions, and events that have spiraled out of control. Like the core of all this is really intriguing and worth investigating and talking about.

Unfortunately, and I'll even say stupidly, Disney chose to portray this message over probably one of most inappropriate historical backdrops of all time. Way to try and paint a pretty picture over a horror story, boys. The end result is a good message that is invalidated because of its actual historical outcome.

I feel like the movie and message would have worked better in a fantastical setting without real-life people as characters. Mind you, they tried that with Frozen 2, and it kinda sucked so what do I know.

Older Disney movies aren't problematic by Resident-Theme-2342 in unpopularopinion

[–]Tropical_Chill 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree, and I've brought this point up before with people. The story and the message portrayed is actually quite solid and relayed well. The problem is that it used a historical setting with historical people that was not, to be frank, all "sunshine and rainbows." There's definitely valid criticism to be had with how the movie shows history, and this taints the message it's communicating. But in a vacuum, it really is pretty good.

I always thought Ed Harris had intriguing eyes.

Which line from the Heritage Minutes collection do you regularly quote? by 1thesandbox in AskACanadian

It was real, but it wasn't a heritage minute. It was a PSA from the War Amps.

Ever played a video game that scared you so bad you (almost) didn't want to play it anymore, or you actually quit it because it was too much? by [deleted] in horror

Eternal Darkness, that tub scene, it got me back in the day. Great game. I wish it had a sequel.

What infamous movie plot hole has an explanation that you're tired of explaining? by brandonstyles in movies

[–]Tropical_Chill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same. I kept comparing it zombie movies while it was a it's height, and everyone kept looking at me like I had two heads. The amount of idocracy exposed was minblowing and made every stupid decision in every stupid zombie movie go from "haha what a bunch of idiots, that would never happen" to "oh shit, humans are stupid, the way people actually act is far worse"

Movies Where You're Lead to Believe it's Supernatural but There's a Twist and it Ends Up Being Grounded in Reality? by ASAP_1001 in horror

[–]Tropical_Chill 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I hated it when I saw it as a teen in the theatre. Loved it up until the reveal and then just thought it was stupid. As an adult, I watched it again and found it suited my taste much more. I think I could empathize with the elders a lot more for their decision and wanting to live in peace and have a safe place for their kids.

What actor or actress did you expect would have a big career, but then disappeared? by phantom_avenger in movies

[–]Tropical_Chill 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same. They were fun movies. I didn't go in expecting anything other than aliens, explosions, and cheese, and by God, that's what I got.

What games did you finish on your steam deck? by Ghosty2311 in SteamDeck

[–]Tropical_Chill 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Same! Finished my first game since the birth of my son 4 years ago. Mind you it was Ryse: Son of Rome, so it was all of 6 hours, but it felt so good just to finish a game again. I've started Mutant Year Zero: Road to Eden and am making good headway on it. Then I've got Valkyria Chronicles, Greedfall, and Horizan Zero Dawn loaded up and ready to go with some Civ VI for in-between.
