00:16.22MonetA lot of horror movie adverts feel the same to me. Flickering lights, darkness, at least one jumpscare, scenes of beautiful people panicking.
00:16.36MonetAnd strobing.

00:18.33HachimanHello again
00:19.01DrodoEmpireHi
00:19.03MonetHi
00:19.10Monethttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HEew7zvpAWE some old advertising magic.
00:19.50HachimanIt's kinda funny that Steven King actually despises Kubrick's Shining
00:20.14HachimanAnd then went on to try and do a Shining thing himself and fucked it up
00:21.26MonetI recall hearing that the car that we see crushed under a lorry was Kubrick saying "screw you Steve, this is my project"
00:21.55HachimanI remember hearing that but I cannot remember why that was the case
00:22.22MonetIn the book, the family drives a blue VW beetle - which was what lay flattened under the lorry's trailer.
00:22.32MonetIn the film, it's yellow.
00:24.57MonetOne of the few issues I have is the casting of Jack.
00:25.43Monethttp://orig11.deviantart.net/f146/f/2016/188/6/1/jack_torrance_10_by_carriejokerbates-da93y73.jpg This was supposed to be Jack Torrence at his most sane. Jack Nicholson has only one setting: Crazy.
00:30.43HachimanYeah Nicholson was a kind of odd choice
00:30.52HachimanHe acts great when Jack goes insane
00:31.16HachimanBut I could never buy Nicholson as playing a sane man
00:32.10MonetThe legendary "Little pig | here's Johnny!" line was an ad-lib by Jack that Kubrick was convinced to keep in the film.
00:33.18HachimanWhich is surprising given that Kubrick was an immensely strict director
00:33.27MonetIndeed.
00:33.36MonetAlthough one of my favourite bits of movie trivia was that is an actual door being smashed in - Jack used to work as a volunteer fireman and knew the fastest way to smash in a door.
00:34.05HachimanWhich is kind of terrifying
00:34.18MonetThey had a prop door at first but Jack hacked though it way too fast.
00:35.39MonetMy other favourite bit is that tick Jack gets when h's given a grilled cheese sandwich is real - Jack Nicholson doesn't like grilled cheese sandwiches but by order of Kubrick was served one every single day of filming.
00:36.20MonetBy the time it came to that scene, Jack had developed a nervous twitch to the sight or mention of grilled cheese.
00:39.53MonetThese bits of filmmaking trivia always fascinated me
00:40.23DrodoEmpireHuh
00:41.50MonetLike for instance when recording Alien, there are two stories I love: 1) John Hurt was the only actor who knew about the chestburster scene in detail. The reactions everyone makes, were all genuine.
00:42.59Monet2) the guy who played the Xeno was kept isolated from the rest of the cast. No one knew who was underneath the penis-headed space monster.
00:44.47HachimanAye, I heard about those
00:45.42HachimanAlien is full of little trivial gems
00:46.03HachimanIIRC when Ash malfunctioned and started spewing white fluid everywhere, apparently his actor had some form of issue with the milk that they had used or something along those lines
00:47.37MonetI heard that allegedly, Lambert's little "oh god" was not so mush from the horridness of the monster (it was somewhat cute) but that there was much more blood used than she predicted.
00:48.32HachimanOh yeah, Lambert's actress is quite sensitive about blood
00:48.48HachimanIt made her feel incredibly queasy
00:50.19MonetI think everyone, both cast and many of the audience, were ready to throw up when it popped out.
00:50.31MonetBack when it was first shown
00:52.31HachimanYeah
00:53.20MonetThere's also how Scott basically killed the crew in descending order of their fame and budget.
00:54.13HachimanOh God what
00:57.42MonetNo one had ever heard of Sigourney Weaver before Alien.
00:58.00MonetAlien was her first film gig.
00:59.10HachimanI never noticed that
00:59.22MonetVeronica Cartwright was in Invasion of the Body Snatchers and the Birds before Alien.
00:59.43Tek0516If I remember the first guy was a big name especially.
01:00.21MonetOh yeah John Hurt is an acting legend
01:00.33HachimanIt's kind of funny that Weaver even got the part of Ripley, since if I recall Cartwright was actually considered first
01:00.46HachimanThat or Cartwright was led to believe that she would be Ripley
01:01.45Hachimanhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alien:_Covenant Oh fuck
01:01.48MonetBefore Alien, Hurt was lead voice in Watership Down and The Lord of the Rings.
01:03.19MonetHachiman: I've known about this for a while
01:03.27MonetScott's planning a trilogy.
01:03.32HachimanFucking
01:03.33HachimanScott why
01:04.05MonetScott - MONEY
01:04.22HachimanI mean, I know The Martian was one of his recent films and was one of his best from what I've heard
01:04.42HachimanBut come on, it's like he learned nothing from Prometheus' mixed to negative reception
01:06.00Tek0516Well just because it's a sequel doesn't mean it'll be the same.
01:06.46MonetThe title suggests he's keeping the "Engineers are God" idea from the first film.
01:07.01HachimanThe fact he made the Engineers humanoid kind of comes across to me like he spat in Giger's face
01:07.16HachimanWell, kind of
01:07.51MonetThat or it sounds like he's sticking to mocking religion.
01:09.20MonetI mean Dr. Shaw said she was confident in her theory that the Engineers created mankind and when asked to defend her hypothesis she said, I shit you not, "I have faith"
01:09.28HachimanYeah
01:09.50HachimanAnd then she ends up subject to a miraculous birth - a birth that leads to a giant squid thing
01:11.09MonetWhile one of her crewmembers dies because he treats an alien snake like he could befriend it even when it was clearly giving "fuck off asshole" vibes.
01:11.38HachimanYeah, Scott somehow manages to make both believers and unbelievers look like fucking idiots
01:12.00MonetThis guy was a biologist and momentarily ignored what it means for a hooded cobra to open out it's hood.
01:13.04HachimanI don't even get how him and Fifield got lost
01:13.26HachimanLike, they split from the group for some really odd reason and then ignore the fact Fifield generated a map earlier
01:14.53MonetDidn't one of them go "fuck this I'm out of here" after finding the chamber with the giant head?
01:15.57MonetI love CinemaSins coining the term "Prometheus School of running away"
01:16.01DrodoEmpire>Stream starts with an earrapey Dramaalert intro
01:16.09DrodoEmpireI gotta see thi
01:16.10DrodoEmpire*this
01:16.32HachimanMonet: It was after they discovered the pile of Engineer corpses
01:16.49DrodoEmpireWOOOOOT IS UUUP DRAMAALERT NATION
01:17.03HachimanDrodoEmpire: LETS GET RIIIIIIIIIIGHT INTO THE NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSE
01:17.09DrodoEmpire^
01:17.26DrodoEmpireI'M ON BLOGTV WITH MY FUCKIN HANDS UP
01:17.32DrodoEmpireI AINT DOIN THIS MY FUCKING SELF
01:18.27MonetHachiman: I think they got lost and by the time they'd gathered themselves there was a convenient storm outside.
01:18.27HachimanFifield said that he wasn't in the business of discovering and examining Engineer corpses, even though he's on an expedition with a bunch of biologists into an ancient alien settlement so I dunno exactly what the fuck he was expecting
01:18.51MonetMaybe he wasn't expecting a mass grave?
01:19.12HachimanI mean, I get he's a geologist, but fucking come on
01:19.50MonetWhat about Shaw telling him to leave a flamethrower behind in case this was a first contact situation.
01:20.37HachimanI don't even get why they have so many flamethrowers
01:21.15HachimanI know that flamethrowers are useful in some instances for utility but honestly
01:21.18MonetWell they were on a cryoship - had to prepare for any situation.
01:22.21HachimanAlso note the fact that the medbay in Vickers' quarters was designed for male surgery only for some odd reason
01:22.24MonetBut still, they had no fucking clue what's inside that mound and she wants to send the team in unarmed just in case the Engineers are still waiting with open arms?
01:22.38HachimanAye
01:23.27MonetActually that was the other thing that bugged me: The aliens decided back when they first guided humanity to tell them about a star cluster they will be destined to one day go to.
01:24.00MonetHumans fuck up somehow, so the aliens decide to turn the welcome centre into a weapons lab.
01:24.03HachimanYeah, now that you mention it, that is really odd
01:24.17HachimanIt's like, why even fucking bother
01:26.05HachimanIt's no secret that Prometheus is full of idiot characters and shitty writing but the rabbit hole only ever seems to get deeper the more you analyse it
01:27.14MonetI suppose the aliens' plan was to demonstrate how humanity was made, but if you're going to weaponise that shit try it at a location your enemy *doesn't* know about.
01:27.24Wormy_Leads me to wonder why Ridley Scott, a great director can have a film scoring with a low or mixed reception.
01:28.11HachimanNobody is perfect, reallt
01:28.13Hachimanreally*
01:28.26HachimanAnd I think Prometheus did have some issues during production
01:28.32MonetI think the analogy I considered was turning Liberty Island into a top secret chemical weapons lab.
01:28.57HachimanIt was originally supposed to be an entirely different movie with a much more Alien-esque plot based on an old script that was leaked
01:32.44HachimanLike, the crew of a research vessel called the Magellan found an Engineer site and investigated it before encountering some form of proto-Facehugger that is implied to be an unmodified form of Facehugger which later births an entity known as the "Beluga-Xenomorph"
01:32.57MonetI loved Empire's summary of the Engineers: "So basically they’ve spent two years in cryo to discover that God is Jason Statham."
01:33.04Hachimanhttp://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/avp/images/2/2f/64739-1-.PNG/revision/latest?cb=20121118230342 With this being conceptual art for it
01:33.18Hachimanhur
01:34.05Monet"and the Space Jockey — sorry, Engineer — turns out to be a overly-pumped bald bloke with dead-eyes who has no dialogue and punches people across the room."
01:34.18MonetYep sounds like Jason to me.
01:34.21HachimanOh God
01:36.29MonetShame really, as this film tries to be a hybrid of 2001 and Alien.
01:36.58HachimanYeah and it just doesn't work in this case
01:37.01HachimanOn either front
01:38.54MonetThough I suppose the Beluga-Xenomorph could do with a little work.
01:39.19MonetIs that why the Engineers were literally white guys?
01:39.52HachimanI'm honestly not sure
01:40.59MonetProbably the most cringey fact we get is rumours that the reason the Engineers decided to destroy us was something that happened "roughly 2000" years ago.
01:41.46HachimanI'm fairly sure it's something to do with Jesus
01:42.15MonetI don't think there is any other way of interpreting that date.
01:42.19HachimanI wouldn't put it past Scott to say that Jesus was modified human or actually an Engineer
01:43.06MonetI've heard Jesus was in fact an Engineer.
01:43.53DrodoEmpireAs far as historical figures go, there're better people to say are aliens then Jesus >.< Jesus had a tiny following, and we're not even sure who he was
01:44.05Hachiman>tiny following
01:44.14HachimanI mean I get that he had his 12 disciples but
01:44.21DrodoEmpireSure, he *made* a big world religion, but it didn't spread until after he was gone
01:44.27MonetYeah.
01:44.31HachimanAh right
01:45.09MonetIn life, at least according to the bible, he was a maverick.
01:45.17DrodoEmpireYeah
01:45.37HachimanConsidering no one alive has ever fucking seen Jesus and that there is no recorded evidence of what he looked like as far as I know from the time that he was alive, Scott *could* get away with it - until you learn that Jesus was recorded to be a carpenter or an otherwise normal guy before he started casting miracles
01:46.17DrodoEmpireYeah, I mean, this alien could've been like Alexander the Great or something
01:46.25MonetWe describe Jesus as 6ft tall and white - well 6ft is pretty tall for a first century middle-eastern man.
01:46.33DrodoEmpire^
01:46.36DrodoEmpireTall in general
01:46.55DrodoEmpireFor that time
01:47.02DrodoEmpireChances are he was like Syrian, and a bit short
01:47.05MonetVery tall.
01:47.12HachimanApparently the only non-Roman white man in the Middle East as well
01:47.39DrodoEmpireGranted Christians from other places in the world depicted Jesus as "one of them" as well
01:47.40MonetAnd if 15th century art is to be believed, was ripped.
01:47.58DrodoEmpireI figured that was a more modern thing
01:48.01HachimanI mean, he was a carpenter
01:48.04DrodoEmpireChinese Christians believed he looked Asian
01:48.22DrodoEmpireCopts believed he variably was an Arab/Middle Eastern/Armenian/Ethiopian
01:48.39HachimanAfrocentrists think Jesus was black
01:48.51DrodoEmpire>.<
01:48.53HachimanBlack... in a Middle Eastern country, somehow
01:48.57DrodoEmpirehe wuz a kang
01:49.14HachimanKang of da Jooz
01:49.17DrodoEmpireayy
01:49.40MonetAlso consider this film was made for an American audience.
01:50.58HachimanAye
01:51.22MonetSo while every region has their own take on Jesus' ethnicity to make him appear 'one of us', I think the film's going for the Caucasian Jesus.
01:51.49HachimanI think the film is going for fucking literal giant white bald Jesus
01:52.10MonetImagine an Engineer in a wig.
01:52.24Monetwearing a wig, whatever
01:52.35HachimanWhich makes me think how the fuck did he get hung on a cross if the Engineers can punch men across the width of that fucking chamber
01:53.24Monet"Jesus you're under arrest" "JESUS SMASH"
01:53.49DrodoEmpirehur
01:53.50DrodoEmpirehyper-Jesus
01:54.05DrodoEmpirehttp://i.imgur.com/gaOsRzN.jpg - Also horde unit pack for EUIV is awesome
01:54.16DrodoEmpireToo bad they're so hard to play
01:54.33HachimanTimurids sound familiar
01:54.39DrodoEmpireEspecially Golden Horde cause their Tier 4 units look *awwwwwwesome*
01:54.47DrodoEmpireThey ruled Persia for a little bit
01:54.58HachimanAh yes
01:55.21MonetThey came to Europe after the Mongol campaigns didn't they?
01:55.51DrodoEmpireNo
01:55.54DrodoEmpireThat's the Golden Horde
01:56.02MonetAh
01:56.06DrodoEmpireThe Timurids were a Muslim Mongol offshoot that invaded Persia
01:56.10DrodoEmpirein the 1300s
01:56.30DrodoEmpirehttp://i.imgur.com/ELgJXCe.jpg - a few more horde units
01:56.43MonetI recall it was something like Huns -> Mongols -> Timurids -> Golden Horde.
01:57.03DrodoEmpireNot linear
01:57.16DrodoEmpireWell
01:57.23MonetIn terms of dates
01:57.26DrodoEmpireAh
01:57.33DrodoEmpireReverse Golden Horde and Timurids
01:58.20Monetokay
01:58.45DrodoEmpireEthiopian unit pack is... strangely European-looking
01:59.01HachimanAren't the Huns and Mongols unrelated?
01:59.11DrodoEmpireYeah they aren't related
01:59.22DrodoEmpireThe Huns are theorised to be related to the Xiongnu
01:59.45DrodoEmpirehttp://i.imgur.com/dSYaE4r.jpg
01:59.55MonetHachiman: I recall hearing the xenomproh that emerges from the engineer's chest has been referred to as "Deacon"
02:00.21HachimanI was gonna say, as far as I am aware the Huns were a group of enigmatic unification of tribes bordering China or something
02:00.30HachimanFuck my English
02:00.45Hachiman*the Huns were an enigmatic unification of tribes bordering China or something
02:01.28MonetDrodo: Maybe Ethiopia's designs are reflective of European influence? Or would that be too early?
02:02.00DrodoEmpireEhh
02:02.06DrodoEmpireThe Ethiopians *were* Christian
02:02.19MonetThe T2 Ethiopian looks like a conquistador.
02:02.21DrodoEmpireBut yeah, the first two unit designs are too early
02:02.31DrodoEmpireThe last two are perfectly plausible
02:02.44DrodoEmpireI dunno too much about the Ethiopian army though
02:03.07DrodoEmpireThey were pretty sophisticated, far from the stereotypical "sub-saharan clicky people"
02:03.08DrodoEmpire:p
02:03.41MonetOne of the great empires of Africa iirc.
02:04.14DrodoEmpireYeah
02:04.22DrodoEmpiredey *wuz* kangs
02:04.25DrodoEmpire<.<
02:09.18MonetI think I recall EUIV (or another game) uses a wasteland mechanic - that for lack of a shorter summary "wasteland" meant "land that your tech group cannot cultivate"
02:09.38DrodoEmpireNot quite
02:10.00DrodoEmpireEUIV has wastelands, which're just vast tracts of land nobody can own, colonise, or have units march through
02:10.27DrodoEmpireStuff like the Sahara and parts of the Tibetan platea
02:10.29DrodoEmpire*u
02:11.06MonetWas a referring to the more real-world use of the term?
02:11.09DrodoEmpireThe number of provinces has greatly increased in time, though, as the game's been developed
02:11.22DrodoEmpireAnd there's been less and less wasteland, especially in Africa
02:12.28MonetI've seen places where 'wasteland' referred to land Europeans found difficult or sometimes impossible ot cultivate.
02:12.38DrodoEmpireNot only Europeans
02:12.43DrodoEmpirePretty much everyone
02:12.44DrodoEmpire:p
02:14.04DrodoEmpireThe deepest depths of the Amazon and the heart of the Sahara have never maintained any sort of considerable human population
02:14.44DrodoEmpireWhich makes making provinces there sorta nonsensical
02:16.38MonetI think it's parts of the Amazon I've heard being called 'Wasteland' by colonial Europeans.
02:16.59DrodoEmpireRight
02:17.13DrodoEmpireYeah, parts of the Amazon are pretty much uninhabitable though
02:17.13MonetWHich may or may not have supported indigenous tribes depending on the area.
02:17.40MonetSo it was more "uninhabitable by European standards"
02:17.43DrodoEmpireEven by acclimated native peoples
02:17.49DrodoEmpireSomewhat
02:17.52DrodoEmpireBut also objectively

04:10.41Tek0516I'm not sure where to go from here though. Central America will be a nuisance due to the US-controlled Panama canal blocking my movements. Caribbean is an option if I boost transport production.
04:11.30Tek0516Could try and coup Mexico as an ally.
04:13.24Tek0516Maybe invade Portugal as revenge. :P
04:15.05DrodoEmpirehur
04:15.42Tek0516War with the Allies and/or US is almost inevitable though.

12:21.48JepardiHi
12:22.34Quark8Hello.
12:25.47HachimanWormy_: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gVEmOQRgqwk
12:28.00Wormy_That's awesome, bet he never expected the other gut to have a bigger sword
12:28.12Wormy_Also +1 respect for not using his gun
12:28.20Wormy_*guy
12:29.22Wormy_Swords and fists make better duels imo
12:30.35HachimanFists aren't great for duels
12:30.43HachimanThere are reasons why boxers wear gloves
12:31.47HachimanNot only do gloves deal more blunt force and cover a wider area, they actually cushion and protect the hands of the people wearing them - fists can break very easily as they were not designed with the biological intent of punching things
12:38.37Wormy_I didn't mean literally fists, but I agree
12:39.04Wormy_I read somewhere that in China, people would literally have martial art duels like in the films
12:39.15HachimanHuh
12:40.01HachimanWell, I mean, there should be some truth to wuxia considering how the martial arts used in films actually exist in reality
12:41.05Wormy_Yep, and a life of conditioning can also do impressive things to the human body
12:42.46Wormy_Hachiman:  I'm open minded about stuff like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k2NAohPcT4U
12:47.00Wormy_the guy was extremely upset when he learned they broadcasted him to the world, and disappeared for decades
12:47.59HachimanOuch

19:40.30DrodoEmpireHow come?

19:41.43OluapPlayerOther than all the other people who commented on the forum
19:41.53XhoThere can't be a story if there's nothing actually in the galaxy
19:41.57XhoSo far there's one fiction
19:42.07OluapPlayerIt's your job to populate the galaxy, not ours
19:42.23XhoSo I have to make like 50 civilisations then
19:42.25XhoNo thanks
19:42.46dromXho: I could help.
19:42.47OluapPlayerBorealis started out with this 3 fictions in it, now look at it
19:42.52OluapPlayer*just 3
19:43.10DrodoEmpireXho: I'd go in to it but I have a lot on my plate
19:43.21Cyrannianhttp://spore.wikia.com/wiki/Fiction%3ACult_of_the_Deathmarch/Races#D.C3.ADait.C3.A1 - I could revive these guys and relocate them to Tuuros
19:43.29DrodoEmpireA lot of users have fictions on the go really
19:43.49DrodoEmpireYour expectations are a bit unrealistic I think- give it a week or two I say
19:44.05OluapPlayerI for one struggle with coming up with ideas. I can't make a dozen things on the go
19:44.31dromI could pull the Sovereignty out their non-canonial existence.
19:45.09dromBut still, I believe writing a new fiction, rather than reusing the old one, would be a better bet at this point.
19:46.26XhoI did have an idea for a story but it's a bit risky
19:46.46dromDon't be too afraid.
19:47.16MonetGo ahead.
19:47.44XhoThe ideas is that in Tuuros there is a pan-galactic event which is basically a gladiatoral tournament; with the rest of the Gigaquadrant now interacting with it Tuuros' authorities change the rules so it's galaxy vs galaxy
19:48.50MonetCould be interesting.

19:49.36OluapPlayerOkay
19:50.10XhoIt's the most united Tuuros gets; bloodsports
19:50.15DrodoEmpireThat's sorta interesting
19:50.54XhoSince Tuuros is host to lots of weird and horrid things it could prove that the galaxy has as much as a formidable set of warriors as the rest of the Gigaquadrant does
19:51.02Wormy_Swedes are quite eccentric

19:52.48Xhoinb4 Koldenwelt is actually in the Tuuros Galaxy and they elect Riad
19:53.32XhoThat's gonna prompt me to make a race of Space Néva now

20:36.46Charles_MurrayI'd be in favor; it was a good fiction
20:37.12Wormy_Only if you have a clear plan.  I'd be in favour too, but you probably want a new start with them.
