THE NEW Miscellaneous Talk That Doesn't Deserve A New Thread Thread Thread (Part 2)

I saw the new “Mission Impossible” movie a few days ago. For someone who doesn’t watch that kind of movie, I personally enjoyed it, but now I have to finish the rest of the movie series. But my parents, who are loyal viewers, said it was one of his worst. Now I really have to see the rest of the movie series to see the truth behind it.

I also had a conversation about the Lilo and Stitch movie and personally, I would really rather not go to the movie and go to the pirate side just so they don’t do it again.

In fact, I think it would be a good idea to limit them and all the companies in the world to only create new things or sequels with the same IP but never tell almost the same story again (not counting fairy tale sources, like the old movies (Sleeping Beauty the original) or new ones (The Wild Robot) to give them a break from making original movies. They do this mainly for money and I mean in general - to put a law that limits the greed of the industry that has opened up since the beginning of Corona once and for all.

Some of the series do this well in terms of reinvention (Arcane, Wheel of Time are excellent examples of taking from the original IP and making a change) and I expect that the movies could do the same to please me.

Already in Europe a law has been passed regarding microtransactions and the spin behind it that finally puts things where they should have been earlier and all the companies are just waiting for the moment for one of the big ones to fall into law to make a change.

Why not the same for the rest of the companies in the world, regardless of the field?

Unfortunately here the world has been following the American model and not the European one, and these are the results.

He who has the power, controls all. It always has been, it always will be. After all - history is written by the victors.

…As long as victors stay victors.

@blackjacksike

In the original, she attacked the mean girl

that was literally my favorite part of the entire movie. it is so cathartic seeing it cuz usually on movies the mc never do that

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

Fun fact: I haven’t ever watched either of these movies.

Not being able to access the internet for several days is never a good thing. Maybe I need to get a new computer.

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

Are you sure the router is not the case?

[AnthropocenianAge (AnthropocenianAge Arthropleura wants to give you a hug!)]

It could be a router issue, too. Apparently, it is advisable to change the router password and update security settings on routers now because of increased security concerns.

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

How dire is your need of getting a new computer?

[AnthropocenianAge (AnthropocenianAge Arthropleura wants to give you a hug!)]

I am seriously considering it in the fall, when Windows 10 no longer gets free security updates.

Based on what they did with the existing characters, the quality of the overall plot, and the unnecessary length…Yeah, I can definitely see why people would say that about MI: Final Reckoning. I am disappointed that the movie did not have the Entity replace its agent with Solomon Lane from MI 5: Rogue Nation and MI 6: Fallout. Or have the Entity threaten the world with the release of a new version of the Chimera virus (from MI: 2) if people continued to interfere with its plans.

@Deathwake

I don’t see an actual point in Disney making them, but I suspect is has something to do with money that comes from people watching them… (point being, I won’t watch it)

I think another reason Disney keeps on making these “Live Action” Remakes is to continue their copyrights on the originals.

Also, how on Earth is The Lion King Live Action Remake, and Mufasa, considered Live Action if there are effectively all CGI?

@blackjacksike

At least, my little nephew had fun and that’s what matters to me.

At least someone enjoyed it. I wonder what he will think about it when he is older?

[blackjacksike (Weird FNAF cat)]

Not sure he’ll actually remember it; he’s only two years old.

It would be interesting to see how would one make animals play roles like actors

[AnthropocenianAge (AnthropocenianAge Arthropleura wants to give you a hug!)]

Would dubbing real animals with the voice actors make this better or worse?

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

Probably worse. If we were to go full live action for such movie, we’d need genetically altered creatures probably.

[willow (they/her or yours are was/were)]

what exactly are the requirements for an essay on how/why sentient plants and post-neolithic underwater civs could/couldn’t work?

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

Here these requirements are:

@hhyyrylainen

Here’s the things that are debunked:

Please forgive my double posting, slow mode prevents me from editing. List with reasons attached, adapted from Twilight’s original list. Heh big listLow melting point metals for Hydrothermal Vents actually possible but doesnt allow anything stronger than gold. Forges built around vents and somehow forcing water out to increase temperature Temperature caps out low. Scaly foot Gastropoda analog domestication for ‘metallic’ scales Can’t be bred into larger shapes, and leaves you with at…

And here’s my challenge for a new underwater discussion to be allowed:

My sanity ran out, @BurgeonBlas is now silenced for a week. If things continue going badly after that as well, I think I’m about ready to close this underwater discussion again, and it will not be opened again until someone makes the full proof from start to finish that underwater civs can advance to the space stage starting from naturally underwater occurring resources.

Before that is done underwater discussion is banned and I will close any new threads made about it and give warnings.

[hhyyrylainen]

And any proof has to be in the form of a scientific essay where most sentences must have at least one source reference after it (preferably to scientific sources like papers and pre-pub papers).

[willow (they/her or yours are was/were)]

guessing it’s just sentences that state things that aren’t already obvious to the average leyman(like o2 being a good oxidizer), and sentences that restate things that sources were provided for, that don’t require sources?
and i’m guessing that assuming an earthlike environment is preferred as well?

Are you really going to try to prove UCs/SPCs like many before you tried and failed?
