The Breaking Dawn scene reminds me of a D&D game I took part in... probably 15 or so years ago.

Our _second_ session was a replay of the first, in which my prophetic dream (which the GM remembered I'd taken as part of my creation) to guide us as to what _not_ to do this time... 😜

[@darthmonkey7718]

Starship Troopers by Robert A Heinlein, was so much better than the book. They turned a guy who dies within the first 2 pages into Rico’s replacement female love interest. The book is better, same thing goes for Asimov’s I, Robot. Will Smith’s version is just crap. Or why not look into the original version of Wanted, the story got thrown out the window although they kept the names. The Troopers had POWER ARMOR in the book, how is this new one better, seriously how ? Sometimes the original was perfect and doesnt need someone’s touch added to it, sometimes it does, The Italian Job comes to mind, but mostly its just about how to short change the author to maximize profits because why do things the right way when you can steal it from somebody else - its why there are hardly any new ideas in Hollywood, that dirty word again, Profits.

I always thought that the people behind the movie never read the book at all. At most they read a synopsis of the book or had someone tell them about the book. The never understood the technology, social commentary, or philosophy that formed the basis of the book and explained the political system, which is nothing like fascism at all, that the book proposed. If anything their system is more akin to a Platonic Republic or some other modern take on distribution of political power. Seriously, it’s not even military rule. You serve to be a citizen and get the right to vote…but anyone could serve regardless of ability. In America such a concept is in practice as military service can lead to citizenship for foreign born migrants.

[@smgdfcmfah]

The book is a great read. All this whining about it being fascist is just wannabee commies of the critical nature that hate ANYTHING that's the slightest bit anti left wing. Verhoeven is just one of those raw capitalists that pretend to be a commies while actually being an elitist one percenter that gets rich off the masses in the freest society on earth.

They had technology in the real story and used it. The Marines had power armor like Ironman (not exactly like Ironman but pretty deadly as such). I was hoping to see that war.

[@mattrobson3603]

@@varthelmThe Arachnids in the ST movie made no sense as animals. As a species with a similar tech level and communication ability to humans, they were competitors for worlds and resources. As animals with unusual morphology (what evolutionary pressures produced the Tankers, let alone the Plasma Bugs?), they shouldn't have been on multiple worlds at all, let alone been any sort of danger to Earth. I saw it in the theater and had a good time, but I too would love to see a more faithful adaptation. Something that had a feel more like Full Metal Jacket, but with powered armor and orbital drops.

Nice troll comments on Spider-man to force engagement on your video. 🙄

[@madisonlink7141]

1) Starship Troopers the novel was not pro fascist. Totally aside from the argument "portraying and praising are not the same," the society portrayed in Starship Troopers was NOT AT ALL FASCISTIC, and was far more Constitutionalist than anything. It simply postulated a society in which you were required to do two years of civil service (of any kind) in order to gain the right to vote. BUT if you wanted to do your two years, the government HAD to find a job for you, and HAD to honor moral considerations (such as pacifism) and physical considerations (such as handicaps). So literally, the only thing preventing anyone from voting is a lack of interest in working a "lower class" job for two years. (The chief non-citizens we see are actually upper-middle class, and discourage the main character from joining on a "why waste two years of your life" argument.) 2) Heinlein was portraying this society, not praising it. In one scene, the history teacher asks his class "Why do we have this system?" He then shoots down every idealistic answer, basically saying, "yeah, but statistics show that people who do their civil service are no better in any way than people who don't." The history teacher's "reason we keep this system" amounts to "it hasn't created any problems, so there's no impetus to change it." That's basically Heinlein saying "No I don't believe limiting votership to people who work for it would produce a magically superior society. I'm just using it as the backdrop for a story about a kid joining up just before a war." 3) The reason people have trouble with the idea that Starship Troopers the movie was satire is that it was BAD SATIRE. (Also, most people going into a theater have no clue who the director is and what other movies he's directed. Get out of here with "It was Paul Verhoven, so obviously...") If you strip away the PSA-style military propaganda and the anit-militaristic boot-camp scenes, Rico's story is a fairly standard action movie. Rico wins. Rico's team (Team Fascist Earth) wins. Rico does not suffer in any way for supporting his fascist government and waging a war of invasion against the enemy bugs. There are no obvious flaws to the fascistic society. In good satire, the flaws of the system are exposed, and those who partake in the system suffer for it. But if you look at the PSAs, they're terrible, off-kilter, and in every way opposite of real fascist propaganda. Except, of course, for the "I'm doing my part" bit, which was copied shot for shot and word for word from a 3rd Reich propaganda film. (Meaning, Paul Verhoven was less adept at mocking fascists than the actual fascists.) The movie doesn't know whether it wants to be a heroic action flick, or a satire of fascism, and it is just mediocre at both.

As much as I absolutely *LOVE* Starship Troopers, it should be part of a master class that shows us how well conventionally attractive people are at persuading people do things they don't wanna do.

@@caronstout354 Starship Troopers was WOKE in the book. How else do you explain that only women were the pilots because they were better than men at flying? Maybe if Verhoven wasn't illiterate, he wouldn't have that ridiculous love (Rhombus?) Maybe if WhatCulture could read they'd understand this.

@@caronstout354 Like that ever mattered. We barely had any good movies based on books because people just want to loosely base their stories off of good books. Sure we had good ones like Shining and Fight Club, but Hollywood's reputation on book adaptations is horrendous (not to mention comic books).

Idk if it was All Out Monster Attack or a different one but a better jab at the 1999 Godzilla was the movie that not only canonized it into the actual Big G Universe by having ‘99 G appear but having him be defeated in literally 5 seconds by Godzilla. He jumps at Big G, gets tossed aside, blasted, and that’s it for the fight. 😂

[@dinomonzon7493]

The Red Chinese (represented by "Mr. Ling" in the movie) backing Goldfinger was a change from the novel as well: Goldfinger was a Russian SMERSH agent in the book, suspected by M to be its Treasurer/Paymaster. Communist China was also SPECTRE's client in 1967's You Only Live Twice.

[@phillip22722]

I view it as the opposite for Starship Troopers. It didn't do it better than the book, it just did it differently. Each has it's own merits but neither is better or worse than the other, just different. Edit: You're also VASTLY misrepresenting what the original book was about. If you think it is "fascist", then you NEVER read it. Edit: You're also bugging if you think 2018 Halloween is better than the originals. Like for real, the "new trilogy" or whatever it is called is pure CRAP!!!!!!

[@dellcruz]

So this guy actually thinks The Amazing Spider-Man with Andrew Garfield portrayal of Spider-Man being the most accurate is worse than Spider-Man 3,I'd like to know what drug this guy is on,take that shit away from him ffs,Spider-Man 3 is probably the 2nd worse Spider-Man movie this century,sure the sequel of The Amazing Spider-Man 2 was definitely one if the worst,the 1st one was absolutely amazing,it's why lots of people want Andrew Garfield to do another Spider-Man movie

[@andrewdreasler428]

3:20 "At most two hours before the Army moves in"? The location referred to as "Fort Knox" is the United States Bullion Depository located adjacent to the military base of Fort Knox, Kentucky, Fort Knox, known as the Home of Armor (meaning TANKS). The Depository is bounded on three sides by the Army base, and on one side by State Highway 31W. The only entrance to the Depository grounds is on the OUTWARD side of the entrance road to the military base. The Depository and the Entrance Gate for the fort are within shouting distance of each other, so at the first sound of the depository's defensive .50 cal machine guns, there would be a phone call from the guard house to the base commander, and about 15 minutes before the MPs arrive well outside the perimeter of the depository to arrest anyone who looks suspicious, and about 30 minutes after that that the ARMED M1A1 Main Battle Tanks roll in to make sure NOTHING leaves the area without permission. (The delay is in getting the live ammo from the armory and loading the tanks, you don't leave a tank parked on base with ammo in it.) For anyone who makes it INSIDE the perimeter controlled by the Treasury Department, may God have mercy on their souls, for the Depository guards, who are part of the Treasury Department, and not part of the military, are also NOT bound by the Geneva Conventions; they WILL use .50cal weapons on personnel, and they are NOT required to accept surrenders. Fun Fact: The base Officer's Golf Course is located next to the Depository, and there are a plethora of golf balls left abandoned next to the Depository's iron fence, behind a wire stretched around the Depository, three feet outside the fence. That wire marks the legal boundary between the base and the Depository; anything that crosses that wire CAN be shot at by the Depository guards up on the building's walls. They don't bother shooting the golf balls (unless they pass through the iron fence), but the rumor is that they WILL shoot off the hand of any dumb Lieutenant who reaches past that wire to retrieve their ball. It's considered a rumor because, to date, no Lieutenant has actually been dumb enough to test the rumor.

[@Immudzen]

You missed Godzilla Final Wars where the Japanese Godzilla kills the USA Godzilla and blasts the Sydney operahouse. Great scene!

[@saraphys5555]

Wow... I was just gonna down vote this and then go, after you said that "The Green Knight" did the story better then the Arthurian Legends did... but then you pushed the "Starship Troopers" button... Question: Have you READ Starship Troopers? Dont get me wrong, it can have that sense of pro-militarism to it; but its not ment to come off in a fascist way... Please remember the time it was written... R.H. had come out of WW2, and as a Navel Engineer seeing people protesting military actions, wanted to defend the bravery of soldiers over the cowardice of politicians who sent people of to die (a sentiment not dissimilar to Vietnam, but R.H. would change his tone by then). But the book sets it tone clear... this is FUTURE Jonny recounting his early days in the service, and all the friends he lost because of the war. If anything, MOST critics who ever reviewed the book...before Mr Satirist made his f***ing movie that completely changed the perception of the book's story...was that it glorified the war machines, because Heinlein was an engineer, and had great appreciation for the tools invented to protect people... Or...did you not absorb the fact that combat took place with handfuls of soldiers in "Ape Suits" all the time? Because, in the Power Armour, a single infantryman carries more firepower then a modern U.S. military deployment... Combat was made to be more concerned to human life, and not to waste it... thats why teams are supported by remote drones on the field; be it ground, air, or space. ...seriously, did you read the book? Or are you just spouting modern interpretations based on bias created by taking that stupid movie too seriously? Wanna see a good Starship Troopers? ...go watch the Sunrise anime made in 89/90...its up on KZbin... THATS the tone of Starship Troopers...that the people you meet, will die in pointless wars... Also, yeah, GFY for saying the Green Knight was good... you suck!

[@stwenty5758]

Hate on No Way Home if you must, but Spider-man 3 was an absolute garbage fire of a movie from start to finish, with the single exception of The Sandman's origin. Nothing about it holds together, the visual effects aren't great, and the symbiote turning Peter into some kind of edgelord gothy douche is unforgivable. It's a *bad movie*. At one point, JJJ's phone rings, and the ring makes it *dance on his desk*. I'm kinda sick of these "it's not as bad as you remember" hot takes. You're right; it's *worse*. Sam Rami is awesome, but he's not some magical Nerd All-Father who only makes good movies. Multiverse of Madness wasn't great either.

[@MrTheKeiron]

I actually liked Amazing Spider-man, Andrew Garfield version of spider-man is the most comic book accurate spider-man IMO (although I thought his Peter Parker was too cool 😂)

I know the Green Knight achieved what it wanted to but I can honestly say I did not get it and hated it with a burning passion. With A24 atmospheric pacing, little action, and managing to expand a very simple story to 2hrs I still reflect on everything thing else I could have done with my life rather than watch this movie.

[@listenerdave101]

Correction with StarShip Troopers, the director made little attempt at following the book and couldn't be bothered to finish reading it. Anyone that has faithfully read the book didn't mistake patriotism with fascism. I enjoyed the movie and the book is much better. The two have very little in common. Please do your own homework and stop repeating other peoples narrative. BTW the American GodZilla was better. I get that the Japanese prefer rubber jumpsuit Godzilla, not so scary.

[@Cat-Tiger-Taegi-Cult]

[@andyrandall9289]

Spider-man No Way Home would of been better if both Tobey and Andrew had had more screen time from the beginning. I know there were scenes shot between Tobey's Spider-man and the Green Goblin on his glider. I do think Spider-man 3 was the weakest of the trilogy. They should of jettison Venom early on. Or recast the character. Perhaps an unknown actor/bodybuilder.

[@CrystalPrelude]

Something I've discussed at length with my family is that Roland's Godzilla movie, if it had not been called Godzilla, would might have done better. But because it was called that, most folks compared that Godzilla with the OG Godzilla and it was just... lame.

[@solarismoon3046]

This is absurd! The whole idea of REMAKING movies - not REBOOT. Reboot is what COMPUTERS DO. To 'boot up" means that it is starting its files for its operating system. To "reboot" means for it to start up again from being shut down. I don't understand how a computer starts up became a horrible misnomer for remaking a movie. And a trailer is what Paris Hilton lives in. A ADERT or advertisement or AD is what we use to ADVERTISE a movie or T.V. show. It makes no sense to rename it something else with a horrible misnomer. Your diction as it the idiotic way of this ignorant generation is horrid to say the least. It pays to be eloquent and short to the point but sadly this new millennial generation comes far short of that. They are being taught by the ignorant and politically stupid poseurs of the past that are only trying to be "trendy" instead of being intelligent. All these remakes are horrible in their premise as Hellywood has run out of interesting ideas that they think will put butts in seats at the movie theatres.

[@kami_in_the_skye]

Godzilla '98 is still a solidly middle of the pack Godzilla movie. I love that franchise to pieces, but most of it is *so bad* you guys. '98 is dumb as shit, but the technical side holds up reasonably well. It's competently produced and still looks pretty good, and that's all it really takes to comfortably sit up there around that best of the worst/worst of the best line. Godzilla *can* be truly great cinema/high art, but rarely aspires to it, & hits the mark even less. And that's completely okay. You can utterly adore a piece of entertainment media while acknowledging its imperfections/limitations.

[@rustyshackleford3190]

Your take on Starship Troopers is trash and you should feel bad. Paul Verhoven didn't even read the book and his movie was absolute trash. Entertaining? Maybe. Good? Not even close. He didn't have the balls to actually present anything meaningful from the book.
