    And yet ironically completely bought into their propaganda. It's evident from her work that she genuinely believed that the people in charge of the USSR cared about things like class equality, and that's why she attacked those things

    They're shallow people, not bad people.

    So like, the kind of moviegoers who go to the movies to seem sophisticated rather than to enjoy the movies?

    Bob the Angry Flower is definitely underrated And as for Ann Rand, I find it humorous that John Galt, her most famous mouthpiece for her anti-union anti-religion worldviews, is a Christ-figure who organizes a worldwide walkout. It's a hilariously broken aesop

    I agree. In most episodes they're not bad people (there are a handful of exceptions where they really are villainous though, wasn't there an episode where Elaine tried to poison her neighbor's pet or something)

    As I said, this also applies at least to horror movies as well as sci-fi (Possibly to other genres but those are the only kinds of movies from the 1970's that I've really watched a lot of). If you look at Halloween 1, or the original versions of Texas Chainsaw Massacre or Dawn Of The Dead, they...

    For me it just wasn't an experience period. I played it for like 10-15 hours waiting for it to get to the good part because I'd heard so much about it, but it never did

    Anthem is pretty good though, as long as you don't think too hard about how people that cartoonishly incompetant managed to take over the world in the first place (or if you think about it way way too hard. My personal headcanon is that it's actually in a similar world and setting to Brave New...

    That's not a problem in and of itself, but it isn't action driven either The book is great. It has a plot, it's coherent, there's great worldbuilding. I wish that those things had made it into the movie For it's time it kind of is (except for the kaliedoscope thing). My experience has been...

    Overrated: Half-Life 2- This game was only superficially related to the first game, it was boring to play, the faces were in the uncanny valley, it had less guns, the revolver looked like a plastic toy, the driving segment was gratituitous and poorly executed, and the opening train sequence was...

    In real life, Dire Wolves, resurrected from the dead

    Because the answer to those other questions was an obvious "yes", both then and now. Also as stated before that movie's aesop was a non-sequitur anyway. Regular animals can and do escape from the zoo, and the reason why so many of them escaped in Jurassic Park wasn't because they were...

    In real life, Dire Wolves, resurrected from the dead

    Jurassic Park was more of a PSA about badly designed zoos. The core of the actual plot is really no different from that incident in 2007 in San Francisco where the tiger got out of the zoo and ate that guy. The dinosaur angle is just set dressing.

    "I think Hydrogen is a rare element" and other science facts.

    Jedha city looked really wonky though. It exploded normally in the view from space but then on the ground it was like the explosion was in slow motion but everytning else was normal speed. It reminded me of that one Invader Zim episode where he puts the explosion in a slow time field and...

    In real life, Dire Wolves, resurrected from the dead

    Still relatively straightforward biologically. Just two yes or no check boxes rather that one this or that checkbox. Maybe add a "can change?" checkbox for each of them. That's what, 16 options. (Unless you're talking about fungal mating strains, but it's arguable whether or not those fit the...

    In real life, Dire Wolves, resurrected from the dead

    I immediately thought of the line of Jurassic Park where they padded everything out with frog DNA

    Campaigns in a nutshell. Adventures in a sentence.

    The Festival - Toon spoof of HPL's "The Festival" where instead of being made of thousands of worms the big reveal at the end is that everybody is three kids in a trenchcoat Cenozoic Park modern adventure in non-fantastical setting. It's exactly the plot of Jurassic Park except that the animals...
