Re: ITT Post Your Random Thoughts
That seems to have been a common problem with movies around that time. 2001 is a good example. I used to think it was a generation-gap thing—you know, kids these days have no attention span, yadda yadda—but there are plenty of movies even older that move along at a decent clip. Even the boring ones.

Re: ITT Post Your Random Thoughts
Attention span or not but 2001 is the slowest thing ever observable. One can argue that it's all about atmosphere but I argue that it is not efficient doing that effect.
I also tried watching it because it was influential for Sci-Fi. I tried at least 5 times but I always stopped the film within the first 15 minutes. I rather watch videos by ordinary people filming themselves cycling through the Netherlands for an hour and did that multiple times.

If ya see a faded sign at the side of the road that says "15 miles to the --
LOOOOOOOOVE SHACK!!!!
... yes?
I beg your pardon?
Well, you didn't finish your thought. What's supposed to happen if I see the sign? Is there some action I'm meant to take?
Darling, you've provided a conditional clause without a conjunctive adverb. Your "if" is missing a "then". You're drawing in your audience with a potential call to action, then suddenly you're heading down the Atlanta highway leaving your protasis dangling in the wind.
That sounds unsanitary.
Grammatically unsanitary, yes.
Okay. I guess if you see the faded sign, you should ... drive 15 miles and then go inside?
Magnificent!

“Every time a bell rings an angel gets its wings” is not something a public school teacher should be teaching. There are potentially very serious church/state issues.
On the other hand, angels objectively exist in the It’s A Wonderful Life cinematic universe so perhaps it’s a known scientific fact.

Re: ITT Post Your Random Thoughts
you know, when people recommend you old anime you tend to hear about the well known ones
neon genesis evangelion, cowboy bebop, sailor moon, akira, someone will bring up lain, etc.
but see, i think macross plus should also be there
now, i'm a fan of it, it's the first anime i've seen, so there's a little bit of bias
but you know it's actually pretty good and it's aesthetics have a 80s-90s quality to them
and if you look at the credits you'll see several familiar names that would become quite well known in animes after it (like the above mentioned cowboy bebop)

i similarly found out on my own and watched gainax's first movie (Royal Space Force: The Wings of Honnêamise) which i sometimes get the feeling is an obscure thing as few people know what i'm talking about

the razor sharp deconstruction of the mecha genre is gundam way back in the late 70s
nge seems to be more "anno thinking about depression, but is also a giant nerd who likes 70s british sci-fi shows"

i don't doubt there's probably some meditating on the mecha genre, but a lot of that was already being deconstructed before nge happened

Re: ITT Post Your Random Thoughts
wifi is interesting if you think about it
not in the technical sense
in the sense that it's literally garbage but is widely used and popular to the point that there are people who think wifi is the only way to connect to the internet
