First publicity shot from Red Dwarf X...

ha ha, the Cat looks like a merger of Bram Stoker's Dracula and Bootsy Collins, like they stepped into the teleporter from The Fly together. Its a classic Cat look; looks ridiculous, feels fabulous! and man, even Kryten looks older somehow, despite his face being made of plastic.

This new series better be good, I don't have much else to look forward to.

>>4814
Kryten looking older too has to be intentional.

I have a friend who is the biggest fan of B and C movies I've ever met and he refuses to watch MST3K. He's collected terabytes of the stuff but he reasons that you should be able to appreciate these terrible movies and do your own heckling. The very principle of sitting back and letting someone else do the work for you offends him.

Instead, I see Joel and his companions as seasoned experts who have given me a deeper appreciation for this garbage. Still, attending a workshop or a class about it seems like an odd idea for some reason. The thought of making it so formal sort of deflates the fun a little.

I dunno, I can see why riffing would need to be taught - youtube reviews alone attest that it is something of a lost art. Even the likes of 'professionals' like Nostalgia Critic... lacks the heart of the classic peanut gallery. If anything, I bet it's a good course just to see a master at work.

I would never fact-check minute details on a smartphone. To me, the entire point of quibbling over minute details is to show that you know them without resorting to the internet. Only the true fan has internalised that much useless knowledge. It's like the nerd version of the Decapod Claw-Plach.

>>4806
...it's the nerd version of a nerdy reference.

Then you have transcended the fandom, and are one with the canon. Your training is complete.

the game development was interrupted for lack of funds. :'(

I can't really make myself care...it's a i-shit only game.

You know what really ruins my immersion in a video game? When the screen is covered by my own fingers half the time... :/

Yeah, as far as I know it was just that the US publisher (probably correctly) assumed that Americans are stupid and would think philosophy would be involved.

Just wanna say I love this image.

A wild Verhoeven appeared. With a little backup.

whew... I'm done.

I always loved the word "bazookoid". Doesn't it make you want to slip into a space suit and go kick some butt?

>>4700
It's a fantastic word. Puts me in mind of TMNT comics, where everything ended in -oid. Great suffix in general, really.

> In many space fighter games the theater of operation usually has a common horizon.
> The reason there is a common horizon is for the people, so they don't get confused.
> It is also a direct sign of the creators of the game or movie not realizing that if you spend most of your life or career in space that you will not get confused and in fact having a common horizon would be rather silly to have simply for battle strategies and for defense against possible attacks.

A thought just popped into my head, I have no idea from where, but I remembered this thread and your post, so here I am.

When Ender is in the battle school, the reason he leads his team to victory after victory is that he disregards conventional concepts of strategy. Mainly he ignores what is considered up, down, or sideways because these are all human, terrestrial concepts and they mean fuck all in zero gravity. Rejecting the idea that two armies meet face to face on a battle ground, he tells his boys "the enemy's gate is DOWN" and so they come out of the gate with their feet facing the enemy rather than facing them front-on, making for a smaller profile. They proceed to kick ass, time after time.

This break from conventional thought is one of the things that made him a military mastermind. Admittedly, it's been more than a few years since I read the book but this is how I remember it. If orientation in space is arbitrary, if your horizon is arbitrary yet humans are ingrained to think in terms of "up and down", well why not designate a horizon of your own choosing. Just a thought.

How about fuck, maybe?

More like "fuck, what?"

I haven't seen much RiffTrax, still working my way through MST3K season by season (which is taking a while as you might imagine). The Rifftrax take on Santa and the Ice Cream Bunny however is one of the funniest things I have ever seen in my entire life, funnier than anything I've seen so far on MST. If anyone here has not seen this, go youtube it RIGHT now.

>>4676
I'm not as fond of RT as I am CT and MST, but I'm more of a Joel fan.

I find RT gets kinda lazy when it's Yet Another Shit Big-Budget Hollywood Movie.

Ice Cream Bunny sure was something, though.

Mike's riffing is funnier in my opinion, but Joel's skits are better and The Mads were cooler villains than Pearl and company. Also the movies in the Joel era weren't always so bad, some of them I might actually watch on their own if they weren't on the show. The Mike era selections seem to be pretty much total crap with a few rare exceptions.
