Movie Thread

Seriously?
Ellen just wants attention, and being ""lezbo"" probably didn't cut it anymore.
Now I'd like this cuck David Gaider make another game with her in it.

[VoiceOfReasonPast]

She just wanted to "write history", that silly attention whore.

Oh lord, this fucking clown world never ceases to amaze me. The media is already referring to her as "him." Jesus, I used to pound off to her before she came out and ugged up.

You can still do that, you know? We won't judge.

Since we have the tranny thread now, I'm gonna talk about movies.

I've been wanting to watch more apocalypse movies since, y'know, muh corona or whatever the fuck. I saw A Boy And His Dog not too long ago and it was fantastic. Really impressive how timeless the film and its effects are, since so many are practical. It has a wry humor which even imitators like Fallout don't quite grasp. Everything about the film is underpinned by many layers of dark comedy. The ending in particular is absolutely perfect. I read that Harlan Cuckoldson was mad about the ending and thought the final line was sexist. Fuck off, Harlan! This is a case of the movie being better than the inspiration. Tim McIntire's performance is phenomenal and makes the film for me. Not only does this movie have all of the post-apocalyptic elements, but it carries each off with aplomb. The introduction, for example! A bunch of stock footage of nukes exploding, then immediately we move into the story. No sentimental bullshit about the loss of humanity-the film is quite unsentimental overall. A Boy and His Dog invokes so many film tropes, but slyly subverts them all. And it isn't just a gag film or a depressing slog through humanity's last gasp, either. The film does have something to say, it's just maybe not what some would expect. And that's where I think the last line's genius comes in, and why Ellison is wrong to be mad over perceived sexism.

Other good post-apocalypse movies, anyone?

I can't think of anything specific right now, but I do always like it whenever post-apocalyptic films go for the quiet, eerie desolation tone as opposed to "everything's on fire, everything's breaking up, big explosions" etc.

Cobra (1986)

Oyoyoyoyyyy!! Watched this masterpiece again tonight, it has been way too long since I saw this last. COOBRA is the badass cop who is called to help when regular cops can't get the job done. Some lunatic has taken hostages at a supermarket and threatens to blow the whole place up. Cobra doesn't take any of this nonsense as he does not deal with psychos, he puts them away. And not "away", like prison, you know. When this psycho says he'll blow up the place, it's time for one of the greatest comebacks ever: "Go ahead. I don't shop here!"

Turns out this wacko was part of some underground cult whose objective is to bring the NEW ORDER and to subjugate everyone under their reign of terror. It's never explained in the movie how they are aiming to do that, but I guess it involves clanking axes together in group amid dramatic lighting and murdering innocent women in the city they live in. They are led by a feared chad called the NIGHT SLASHER. He got that name as he SLASHES at NIGHT.

For some reason this group gets a fixation to kill Brigitte Nielsen, Stallone's wife at the time, and this leads to Cobra taking her under his protection and to the horrible, terrible, embarrassing, absolutely garbage jokes between them. Nielsen deserves some kind of medal for acting as amused in some way after Stallone's jokes about how her french fries are drowning in ketchup. Ehe he he he.

It's funny how there are both a knife manufacturer and a gun manufacturer promoting their products in this movie. The knifemaker Herman Schneider demanded that his spiked dagger should be used in the movie, so did Finnish weapon designer Jali Timari, who wanted his shubmachine gun Jatimatic to be used here. Both manufacturers were proud of the movie showing how easy it is to kill people with their products. This was only possible in the eighties. And speaking about products in the movie, damn those Ray-Ban's Outdoorsman glasses are cool.

Awesome, awesome, awesome movie. And always remember, it doesn't matter if some nutcase blows up some Walmart near you

Post-apocalypse begins and ends with one movie:



Ride, Postman, ride!

Waterworld isn't bad either:

All those words and you don't mention that it's based on the same novel that was adapted into the Cindy Crawford movie?



It also has a superior car chase:



I wouldn't call it "one of the best ever" but it's pretty good. That mid-90s direction and score was amazing.

Other good post-apocalypse movies, anyone?

Screamers. Might not exactly be what you're thinking off, though.

[Le Redditeur]

Cobra is pure kino. The weapon cleaning scene will never stop being funny to me because of how nonchalant Stallone acts as he cuts a cold pizza with the scissors. And how the weapon cleaning materials are stored in an egg carton. The grocery shop has the best succession of one-liners ever, from the "I don't shop here" to the final "You are a disease, and I'm the cure". Amazing stuff.

I read that Harlan Cuckoldson was mad about the ending and thought the final line was sexist.

The fuck is sexist about that line?
And wasn't the negress in I Have No Cock And I Must Fap nothing but a backstabbing whore (a recurring archetype of his)?

Other good post-apocalypse movies, anyone?

12 Monkeys?
I only remember Brad Pitt in his role as Doge Walker, though.
