2021-06-03 14:58:41 +0000 UTCI had a similar experience with this movie as Felix. It was my favorite movie when I was in middle school and I remember showing it to people and they made fun of it.

2021-05-30 23:31:48 +0000 UTCI never even considered Chronicles of Riddick as a film capitalizing on the Matrix.

2021-05-30 12:28:05 +0000 UTCIt occurs to me Chronicles of Riddick is something else that fits into the chasing The Matrix hype genre. Came to a lot of the same creative decisions, come to think of it.

2021-05-30 10:19:02 +0000 UTCThat's a neat point! I think with Hitler and Stalin they are usually thought of as demagogues in the dumb guy version of 20th century history. I think it would be dumb-guy-apparent that that conflicts with the bad guy government gimmick here. As for Saddam I don't think in the run-up to Iraq there was much in the media about the actual nature of Saddam's regime or like scary videos of him that would leave much of an impression really, just endless lies about his supposed threat to the US.

2021-05-30 10:11:51 +0000 UTCUpvote this if you want a chapo reaction to the downfall film (2004).

2021-05-30 04:58:17 +0000 UTCGlad I’m not the only one thinking this. I get throats like this as well because I’m a fat as fuck obese mfer. Seems like Matt is suffering from being super fat and out of shape.

2021-05-30 04:50:36 +0000 UTCPeople talking like “Sarah this” and “Sarah that” and that’s all great but truly alpha chapo patreon commenters will zero in on Matt having a frog in his throat the first thirty minutes and speculate wildly about his health with no basis for it whatsoever

2021-05-29 19:40:34 +0000 UTCIt is telling that Kurt Wimmer didn't include stock footage of Hitler as a personification of evil in the prologue of Equilibrium, alongside Stalin and Saddam Hussien. Considering how easy it is to make comparisons to Hitler/the Third Reich, hyperbolic or apt, especially for dumb guys... the omission is conspicuous. Everything else in the film is the most trite dystopian sci-fi tropes, but no Third Reich allusions. Very peculiar.
