I was going through my old X-Men comics where Longshot joined the team and they fought Juggernaut

Longshot was pretty awesome back in the day.

I just realized that late 2000 movies had a shitton of blue filter on

Blue and pink lighting, too. They literally call it "bisexual lighting".

PFFT

To be honest, I want practical effect 90s type movies to make a comeback

Yeah. It's almost a lost art.

Remember when George Lucas turned the world of special effects on it's ear?

Miniatures and models definitely need to come back

One of my favorite techniques in old movie effects

Oooo, and puppets and stuff too

All kinds of practical effects need to come back

Alien is still scary because of it

And those rubber sheets used in horror films?

@Vinz Clortho I will say, Episode I still looks surprisingly solid a lot of the time

Speaking of... Still sad Netflix canceled a second season of the dark crystal :/

Don’t want to sound like a boomer but, have you any of you read Fydor Dostoyevsky the Russian author? Who wrote books such as crime and punishment, which I personally think is a great book.

I watched the Barbarians on Netflix and I liked it. There was some weaknesses and historic inaccuracies but overall a lot more authentic than most historical big drama productions. And I liked it for this reason as well

Maybe he knows more than we do

last one he's onto to something but the other two are just stupid

@Isaac the XIV Me too have a crush on Tostoevsky. Tho every time i need to gather enough courage to sit down and read a book of his. The brothers karamazov is my all time favorite.

@Isaac the XIV Yesss. I read is one book on (idealized socialism?) I can't remember the name of the book but it's scary stuff yet thought provoking

Sidenote, *Poltergeist* is a masterpiece and people can't change my mind about that. While not incredibly scary, it had its moments and it was a movie about love and family first and a horror film second, giving it a beautiful sense of awe and wonder that is ignored these days. The soundtrack was perfection.

Demons ?

I like the idiot as well

Notes from Underground! That was it!

Spoilers for Notes from Underground ||Imagine having the psychological power to cause someone to bite their hand so hard it bleeds without even having to touch them though||

Yeah that’s a great book

But unfortunately I’m not able to read the part were it talks about philosophy, because I’m only young and that section confuses the crap out of me. But the story section were he talks to the prostitute is interesting.

Yeah, it's a confusing book. I'm twenty and I can't understand it that well

I'm reading Peter F. Hamilton's The Reality Dysfunction. Good stuff, except he has an anti-religion rant at one point, and he likes to use made-up future words without immediate context.

i've been reading seven pillars of wisdom (autobiography of lawernce of arabia) great stuff, takes some patiences but great stuff

I reccomend the movie called, as far as my feet will carry me

I can't believe I'm asking for this, but is anyone here familiar with anime, specifically the Gundam stuff? I want to start watching it, but I have no idea where to start.

uhh nope, I've only watched 10 minutes of Girls und Panzer, Yu-Gi-Oh, Avatar, and Legend of Korra

I'm not a big anime watcher, but I liked the older stuff. Cowboy Bebop, Trigun, etc.

Oh well, figured I'd ask here before I had to start looking elsewhere, appreciate it anyway

I just rewatched a clip from The Hate U Give and honestly
I think both girls are in the wrong during the Starr vs Hailey scene and I think the lead needs to stop accusing random people of being racist

||Like I get it that the girl told her that she needs to "get over" the death of her friend but like - girl. *He sold drugs. He had a hairbrush that looked like a weapon.* And if a white girl started doing to me what Starr does to her classmate, I'd be scared too. You don't just whip something out and start addressing someone as if you have a gun in their hand, especially when you start closing in on them and screaming at them.||

I think my mom has the book for that, didn't know there was a movie
