TV/Movies Megathread

So movies have finally caught up with other sci-fi sillyness in copying 80s "Japan will conquer all!!!1" stuff onto China?
Boy will they look silly a decade or two down the line...

Saw Looper and liked it, despite the time travel nonsense. Although after watching it I suspected it was one of those movies that China helped to finance (in the film America is a third world hell-hole, while the PRC is the global superpower), and I just found out I was right. 

I saw it - I had trouble getting over the premise.

[spoiler]That the mob had something cool like time travel and used it ... to dispose of dead bodies. [/quote]

I know what I'd do with a time machine. TIMEFUCKERS!

In the West, there are always good Asians and bad Asians - one being the Chinese, and the ithe the Japanese.

Every generation or so, which ones are "good" and which are "bad" switch.

Goddamned right.

"Who are you?"
"Oh you don't know me, Miss Monroe.  Don't scream.  That will only make things difficult."

Great. In the hands of Languishites, Looper becomes a rape porno. 

[Tonitrus]

BB, that's probaby NSFW.

That's generally true, but not always--sometimes they've just been lumped together as "The Yellow Peril".

Bah - there are no naughty bits showing.

Not just any rape porno.  Famous Hollywood starlet ass rape porno.  IF YOU RAPE DAT ASS DO IT WIFF CLASS

[Grey Fox]

I think its a fun idea until you realise that no one is shaved down there. :puke:

You seem to be under the impression that I would be in a hurry with such things.  That would be a miscalculation.

That's a good point. Additionally [spoiler]if the mob can use time travel, why not governments or corporations? You'd think they would be able to think of some things they would like to change.[/spoiler] In the end, however, any time travel movie is going to have stupid bits that you have to ignore to enjoy it.

SPACE MOOSE!

There is a movie I would see.
