New Testingstan

Yeah I've definitely noticed my opinions drifting further and further from the mainstream on some things. Like I think the more "political" marvel films (winter soldier, black panther) are easily the worst ones because of their infantile treatment of the subject matter. Han Solo treated th...

On the other hand, the recent avengers film is surprisingly decent, even though they changed Thanos'motivation from being an incel friendzoned by Death into some stupid bullshit I thought it had a pretty interesting structure, in they they'd basically pair off two sets of characters from different f...

Yeah fair enough, be I'm going to mown at you anyway about it it was an incoherent mess without a discernable narrative structure or remotely consistent characterisation, Han Solo kept pulling skills out of his ass, they pissed on the third rail of droid slavery for cheap jokes. The whole thing was ...

ha ha ha this was a bad film,

I was watching some shit science fiction tv with her off of stargate trying to do a posh english accent and one of the edgy mumbling supporting characters was for some reason jack the ripper (i think time travel was involved) in the fixfic au where runaway climate change doesn't render humanity exti...

not necessarily a bad way to build group cohesion (well I mean, it is bad, but it can be effective) definitely not a good way to get at anything like an objective assessment of reality. Or, more importantly, for an objective assessment of which fictional spaceship has enough pew-pews to beat another...

I did sign up for xon's forum. Is there any space for a testingstan pity party thread over there I wonder Where was that? Seems like a good starting point to try to recover our forum that just can't be allowed to die! :duchess: Sorry, had to get some sarcasm in there. Edit: Sufficient Velocity? I a...

I have to say, you don't look anything like I imagined

does nobody on this site have any good luck

hope your dad is ok big o.

wouldn't an IRC have the same basic problem as the forum i.e. it'd be a ghost town

yea it is kind of a shame, this place was a laugh I did sign up for xon's forum. Is there any space for a testingstan pity party thread over there I wonder got an inactive wordpress blog (evilsoup.wordpress.com) with mostly fiction, some of which is good. Also have a tumblr (again, evilsoup); I most...

I get similar dreams when I have to do any sort of studying/essay-type work
even when it's stuff I really enjoy & went out of my way to do

Sure, if it weren't for the underlying feeling of 'this is not what star trek is for' then it'd be a decent enough brainless action movie

what the fuck are you talking about

Ya definitely a 6 or 7/10 sort of thing. I didn't regret paying to see it in the cinema, but it's not one that I'm ever going to go out of my way to watch again. I did like that there was a split from within the rebellion, even if *why* that happened is a bit vague. Could have done without the awful...

It was a very hard choice, but eventually I said fuck it & voted Leave. It's so far more or less having my desired outcome i.e. destabilising the global economy. If Comrade Jeremy can weather the upcoming leadership challenge & subsequently purges the red tories from the parliamentary labour...

pretty great, actually!

Fucking hell

I'm pretty sure it made like eighty bazillion dollars in the box office so

No you're wrong, everything that's popular is bad & if a film doesn't feel like it's sticking a rusty knife into your brain its not Art

Along with Ang Lee's Hulk film, Daredevil actually is quite good. I'd take it over, say, Age of Ultron any day.
(Of course, neither of them are anywhere near the cinematic perfection of the Punisher movie. The one where John Travolta plays the bad guy.)

batman's entire motivation in the film can be boiled down to being superstitious & sort-of cowardly, actually

I wouldn't say the superman was faithful either. I just cant remember Linkara's nickname for him... Superman had his problems, but I enjoyed it because it was still recognizably Superman vs Deranged Murderous Frank Miller Batman After watching daredevil series 2 where he chucks people down flights ...

well there's one bit early on, where the vampires are introducing themselves, that one of them says that they 'used to be a nazi' which doesn't even have any bearing on the plot, and the film seems to think that I'll laugh just because 'nazi vampire!!1! so random'. -- it's not even mocking the nazis...

oh yeah, saw this a couple of weeks ago
I remember thinking that it was very hashtag problematic
