Mileage varies indeed. That was the film where I started noticing that Shyamalan wasn't as cracked up as we believed him to be. That suspicion was confirmed when I saw the Village. How the man is still getting to direct movies after The last Airbender is beyond me.
At any rate, regarding the topic. I'm gonna have to cast my votes on the Avatar and District 9 combo that seems to be so popular.
P.S. I could never work up a sympathy for the Na'vi but the funniest thing about that conflict was that it largely all Jake Sully's fault. I mean, the guy becomes the de facto liaison between the two races and while he does a fantastic job learning the ways of the tribe, he spends none of the time (three months) to explain to them the motives of the humans and finding ways to strike a compromising deal between the two groups. Once the company is ready to move into the area, the tribe is flabbergasted because they had no idea of their intention. This leads to hostile showdown and the tribe suffers terrible losses. As we all know, Jake ends up betraying humanity because, hell, he can get some tail if he does (both literally and figuratively). He then gathers up all the surrounding tribes in a matter that they never would have manage to achieve otherwise and gears them up to war. In short, most if not all casualties on both sides are on Jake's conscience. In short, fuck that guy.
P.P.S. Seriously... Signs. Naked aliens that can dissolve if the humidity is high enough. Good luck invading the east coast.
Agree with most of your things but have to stop you here. Are you sure about that claim?Soviet Heavy said:
To start with, there are only 4 chaos gods and Slaanesh, the youngest (who was definitely created by the Eldar) was born between the 25th and the 30th millennium, before the Empire came to be. Before Slaanesh, the Eldar had many gods and goddesses, that they had created by worshiping powerful members of their race, so they were very prone to affecting the warp (Slaanesh ate most of them). Humanity has never created a god like that, although it is believed that when the Emperor dies, he will become one.
At least, I was always under the impression that most of the Chaos gods had been collectively created by many psychic races, across the galaxy, over a timespan of millions of years, far before human involvement. Both the Eldar and Ork are considered more psychic then humans and are believed to have first distorted the warp with negative, emotional feelings, thanks to the Old ones messing with them to fight their war with the Necrons.
Of course, that doesn't mean that the Chaos gods aren't taking interest in our race, since we invoke many of the psychic feelings that feed them, particularly the way our fear of death feeds Nurgle.
Well, the orks and the Tau. Rarely (but not never) the Eldar, yeah, and not the necrons.Ninjat_126 said:
Not too mention, the humans were utterly useless, they really deserved to all get eated.Herzesser said:
By the end you'll probably hate everyone in it, and for that matter everyone involved in its creation. Its that bad.Esotera said:
OT: The Host, an awful movie based on the awful book by the awful Stephanie Meyer.To quote Mark Fennel, it literally made me lose faith in humanity.
Easily District 9 even though the aliens weren't actually invading. I would have loved to see an epilogue of the aliens returning with the might of their military and just slaughtering the jackass humans left and right.
