No Not only, it's more related to the "chemtrail" topic, but this falls into politics much faster. Edited July 17, 2023 by kerbiloid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nuke Posted July 17, 2023 Share Posted July 17, 2023 (edited) thats odd, wikipedia was the first place i searched. maybe i spelled it wrong (makes my case for using common language). or maybe the censorship beast has really big tentacles. either way until i see evidence for this act, im gonna have to call it a conspiracy theory at worst and a metaphore at best. evil doesn't need to be that elaborate to be evil.

Yeah, saw that trailer when we went to Indiana Jones. Did look interesting, although it seemed like basically the same genre as the Terminator franchise (AI takes over, has something against humans) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This has an interesting plot, but it's so poorly executed. I am sick of extremely loud films with Hollywood clichés. I just hope trailer is nothing like the real thing (as it usually is the case).

Nuke Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 i watched sisu and asteroid city last night as a double feature. sisu was funnier even though the latter was supposed to be a comedy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DDE Posted September 29, 2023 Share Posted September 29, 2023 The Man from Nowhere A lost cosmonaut, a Captain America-esque fake 1960s hospital, retrograde amnesia, supposed invented cosmonaut identity, et cetera et cetera. Looks like another mind-screw attempt, IDK, but it has spaaaaace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kerbiloid Posted September 29, 2023 Share Posted September 29, 2023 Hex tiles on Vostok. The space is fake. Too many lighted lights in the room and the corridor. Also, hanging too low, despite of sanitary rules. The hospital is fake, it's non-Soviet. Camel without filter. The Baikonur is fake. Toilet room with plastic basket, not sure if they were in 1960s. The urinals without handles, despite of the intact, just repaired other furniture. A fake toilet room. A tram from 1930s, not sure if such ones were in 1960s. Possibly fake tram. No duckface girls. A fake 2023. Attention to details is very important to recognize the Matrix around you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minmus Taster Posted October 13, 2023 Share Posted October 13, 2023 Alright, lets just try and forget this set out to be a realistic progression of a soviet moon landing timeline, this looks sick! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s crazy how the stars aligned. I bet that asteroid is either Psyche or a Psyche analog. Because of the delays to the mission, Psyche (spacecraft) launched a day after the trailer dropped!

DDE Posted November 11, 2023 Share Posted November 11, 2023 Finally, an accurate representation a starship's backblast. Granted, that's a very closed, Starship Troopers-grade formation for such ships, and they mess up the direction of the retroburn. The rest of the film sounds like utter garbage, some of which has been predicted long ago (pro-tip, don't kill off the main baddie). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuke Posted November 12, 2023 Share Posted November 12, 2023 avatar2 was at least watchable. a lot of movies the last 3 years werent. also noticed they canceled 1899. i guess it wasn't conformist enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minmus Taster Posted November 13, 2023 Share Posted November 13, 2023 (edited) Started the new For All Mankind season today, I enjoyed the first episode, I feel like the story has become somewhat stable again after jumping the shark in season 3. Spoiler And they've already killed Grigori, this season is gonna destroy me isn't it : ( Really liked the depiction of the asteroid, though I'm not sure how it didn't just disperse into debris the second they tried pushing it. Also, I've been reading some articles and Danny seems to be out of the picture for now (thank Jeb) though I do wonder what became of him and if there's a plotline involving figuring that out.

I didn’t realize this. Even more depressing when I read in an article that the long lead times for such a truly artistic project were the reason for cancellation. It’s the age of instantaneous content and remakes. This is some dystopian stuff man… Edited November 13, 2023 by SunlitZelkova Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
