Disclaimer: that post I made was half baked rambling. But I think that people's actions are guided by the group when there are consequences, and when there are none, people reveal their true selves.

When I watched The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (spoiler warning, for if you care about that), there was a scene where the lead male is leaving the serial killer's yard after perusing his house and realizing he is the killer. The killer pretends not to know and invites him inside for a drink, and he is so instinctually afraid of offending or being socially unacceptable that he goes back into the killer's house to be quite nearly dismembered and killed. The killer notes that this fear of offending is always what brings his victims into his trap, even when they know what he is.

Well, maybe that is not the best term. Maybe I should just say that people act in the way that they are internally compelled to when they get to do so anonymously, with no consequences.

It was interesting when he cited Spider-Man 2 as an example of a "good" superhero movie, because Spider-Man tries to prevent destruction, the impact of destruction can be seen onscreen, Spider-Man is mainly concerned with saving people, and he questions and doubts his role as a superhero during the plot. Apparently the reboot (which I haven't seen) does not have these features.

The vid says that superhero movies used to say "heroes save people" and now they say "heroes get the bad guys," which is interesting, and there is kind of a big philosophical difference, even if it is not immediately obvious. Anyone can be painted as a bad guy, but saving people is more objective. Also, I remember now that the villain of Spider-Man 2 is not killed by the hero but 'redeems' himself with an act of self-sacrifice.
The video was an interesting look at the superhero terroism phenomenom, but wow, that guy's monotone is frightening when combined with those freaky lines.
This is a fine, fine album. Maybe a bit overhyped due to people wanting to seem hip for liking it, but ultimately a powerful statement and musically quite worthwhile.

I haven't seen it in a long time, but I do remember that it did get that much right.

Spiderman 1 was kind of the same way, the bad guy is not killed by Spiderman, but rather is undone through his own bloodlust at trying to kill Spiderman.

Dan Olson is the master of driving home a point through inflection. He lays it on a bit thick in that one, methinks, but it works.

^^ If I recall correctly, he never has a change of heart but tries to impale Spider-Man with his jet board thingy and then Spider-Man backflips over it and it impales the villain instead. That is one of the more memorable villain deaths I've seen.
The good superhero films are Batman Returns, Batman and Robin, The Dark Knight, Watchmen, Iron Man, Blade, Ghost Rider, The Hulk, Captain America, X-2, and The Punisher.

hmmmm I've probably seen like a lot of superhero movies but I forget most of them and only a few memorable scenes stand out. Also, I rarely see movies of my own accord so superheroes are not a particular film interest of mine (I like horror and science fiction!) but I watch movies with others and superheroes are often a subject of such movies. :)
So I'm reading a story about how an angry soccer player punched a ref and ended up killing him, on two different sites, and the comments are a sociology study in and of themselves. On ABC News, you see a lot of people saying he should be tried as an adult and that the rule of law should prevail, while on The Blaze (which appears to be a right-wing site), all the commenters want him killed, preferably as harshly as possible, and the few that ask for mercy in this are written off as "liberal PC wimps" (to condense several comments into one phrase).
I know about the Greater Internet Fuckwad Theory, but damn, how did we get so cruel?
The Blaze is owned by Glenn Beck, so it is indeed right-wing.

^^^^ I forgot about that scene but I generally enjoy The Matrix and its sequels and the plot and the characters and the action scenes and the scenery. :D

I've watched most of Captain America, The Dark Knight, Iron Man, the last half of the Avengers, the Fantastic Four (which will probably be rebooted in the upcoming years) and X-Men: Wolverine (ugh).
I'm the kind of person who doesn't go to movies but reads about them on the internet and subsequently complains about them.
I've learned to tolerate drama...except on the boat
Part of me keeps hoping that 20th Century Fox will let go of the X-Men and the Fantastic Four and let them revert to Marvel, just for consistency's sake

It is not even just one trick, either. The whole first two minutes of that vid are just great choreography. :D I am going to try those moves the next time I play.
What's actually kind of cleaver about 12 monkeys, there's a line in it about the Movie being the same (Bruce Willis is watching a cinema film) but him being different and noticing different things.
As it is, I had the fortune to watch this as a child and then later on as an adult, and that line completely blew my mind on the second rewatching.
Also, I'm reading through the lists of Razzie Award winners and nominees on Wikipedia, and it seems like AFD (ITC's film releasing venture) was one of their favorite punching bags back when it was still viable (1980-1982, roughly). Of course, we got Cannon and DEG after that. :P
My dog often chooses to sleep on my bed and I love cuddling with him. :)
My dog used to help my mom wake me up for school by climbing onto my bed and licking my face to get me up. He weighed a good ninety-plus pounds—all muscle and fur—so he occupied a good deal of space and would gradually push me out even if I were obstinate.

Two out of three ain't bad, I suppose, and hopefully she'll forgive me for that last one, she usually does.
is the self not a construct of many facets?
From this movie called "Scary or Die"(Hahahahahahahahaha)
Anyways.
Anyone else remember that Dexter's Laboratory where he gets bit by a clown and turns into a clown?
This short tried to play that off as "scary"

And the pervasiveness of terrorist parallels.
When does some other blockbuster archetype get to take over

All the rest are lame.
also, Batman and Robin is a good movie? What're you smoking?

You needed to know this.
