> Otto von Bismark オットー・フォン・ビスマルク.
> フォン is the von part with フ being fu and so von is spelt like fuon.
Because the German letter v fau stands for the sound f. So quite rightly the Japanese use f.
One thing that have to keep in mind, we are writing about sounds and not letters. Live speech and not written. As an Anglo you must very well know how much the two can differ.
Letters are consensus on how to represent sounds on paper (on wood, stone, steel, any recording material).

 >>/52360/
Ohh yes. Sorry I forgot about V actually being F in German... And I was also thinking in terms of English but that makes no sense as the Japanese would be translating German from German to Japanese not German from English to Japanese.

Watched Scream (1996) then all 4 Scary Movies (starting from 2000). I did not plan on the latter, but managed to get a quadrilogy so I thought why not. Since then I learnt there is a 5th episode.
Scary Movie is essentially Scream (a spoof of it) and since Scream isn't frightening at all, I consider it a less funny and more straightforward prototype of Scary Movie, with one less plot twist. I find it fun that around the end of Scream one of the characters say "scary movie", I assume the creators of SM took that as an inspiration. Also Scary Movie took important elements from I Know What You Did Last Summer - which I plan to watch next.
The rest of the Scary Movies are parodies of various horrors and related genres. Lots of stupid shit in them but they are okay.

It depends on your language, how you perceive the Japanese /ɺ/. It is more similar to English L than R acoustically because the English R is not tapped but a retroflex (or similar) approximant. Similar for speakers of languages which use guttural Rs. But in languages where R is tapped or trilled (the actual IPA /ɾ~r/), /ɺ/ sounds more similar to R than to L.

I'm not fully aware of all the nuances, but going into the extreme either way would come across as forced.



Regarding P, /p/ was a normal phoneme in Old Japanese, but it weakened /p/>/f/>/h/ historically. Hence also the alterations in compound words where words starting with H will change to starting with B (you should know this from sumo; a sumo stable is heya but in names it becomes the suffix -beya). However it remained /p/ when doubled (e.g. seppuku) or prenasalized (= after moraic (syllable-final) N) (no examples off the top of my head). Otherwise /p/s come from Chinese and later European loanwords.

Rewatched the Riddick trilogy. That is Pitch Black, Chronicles of Riddic, and Riddick.
I'm not a fan of Vin Diesel (those car racing movies are obnoxious as fuck) but I really like these movies.
Pitch Black is an obvious low budget - relatively low budget - but I think they did quite a good job.
Now CoR is riddickulous, that necromonger-furyan space fantasy is cringe as fuck, but I still like it, because of this. They obviously had a way larger budget (I think they had liek 4 times the money) but they still had that low budget mindset with that clumsy space epic nonsense, and this is kinda endearing. They obviously changed Riddick's background some, but we could say he just lied about himself a bit in Pitch Black. Tho I think my favourite part is the prison arc, when he "gets captured" and taken to the deep prison in that half burning half frozen hell of a planet. In fact I rewatched these three because I got remembered of this setting.
> coz it was my plan
Fun.
Last one is Riddick. It largely ditches the necromongers form the movie, and sticks a bit closer to the first film. Really good stuff, tho I hate it when they have a chat via radio/comms on the ships and they have to stop and face the two vehicles to do it. That's just dumb. But the buildup is good, how he overcomes the adversities, how he initiates and executes his plan (which is his all along), toying with the mercs. The action is all right, better than the CoR.
I think the Pitch Black ranks first due to the original-ish idea, then Riddick is the second, although all in all might be better than PB, and the Chronicles comes last for the too much cringe.
I think games were made out of these.

Hmm. PB and R are the same in couple of points for sure. Centered around small group of people trapped on a hostile planet, which threatens them with a horde of killer monsters when a certain circumstance triggers. Well this is the overarching narrative in both, although in R there is a long lead in while he's struggling on the planet I really like his interactions with the pup/dog, it adds more depth to his animalistic but human dual nature like a Robinson Crusoe.
Perhaps it's a reimagination of the original story, but for me it feels different enough.
The Chronicles could have been better with more length, with more time to play out the story. Making it a true epic.

Btw they are supposedly making a new movie: Riddick: Furya planned to release next year. I'm looking forward to it.

Me too.

Just watched Alien: Romulus. Surprisingly, it was better than I anticipated. Sure was a bit formulaic and lacked Scott's visual finesse, but it was scary enough, entertaining and it knew what it is. Solid 8/10.

Mom says I'm unique - so my favourite film of the series is "Alien 3". I know even Fincher doesn't think that - but I do. The only way it could've been better is one of the precious concepts with a wooden moon inhabited by 300 medieval monks.

As for the "Aliens" - it's your typical Hollywood slop. A studio taking some surprise hit and turning the sequel into some dumb popcorn movie for the biggest common denominator. In case of the "Alien" it was really tragic, because they turned the very concept upside down - instead of the titular alien, an embodiment of sadism and satanic evil, they went with the "guys, what if there'll be tons of these bastards?", turning them into just a pack of dumb beasts that a little girl can evade. "Event Horizon" is more "Alien 2" than "Aliens".

 >>/52505/

> "Aliens" - it's your typical Hollywood slop
Well the ending of Sopranos feel unoriginal and lame from the distance too for many.
Event Horizon is cool. But has nothing to do with Alien. They are just going crazy.

Lörs thougts on this film bernds, Álom.net?
Especially Hungarybernd, since this was actually made in the Hungary

Álom.net, also known as Dream Well, is a 2009 Hungarian romantic comedy film written and directed by Gábor N. Forgács.

> The film was panned by critics, with some considering it to be one of the worst films ever made.

 >>/52625/
Regina, the once popular girl has to make new friends at her new, conservative school. Problems arrive when she becomes enemies with Lívia, the school's queen bee, and falls in love with Márk, a musician. If these weren't enough, she decides to organize a cheerleader team. 

Álom.net was widely panned by viewers for its poor writing, acting, problems with continuity, and cultural inaccuracy, among others. 444.hu wrote that it is "the worst movie of all time, and that’s why it became a cult film".[1] Furthermore, 24.hu and Index.hu each named it the worst Hungarian film ever made,[2][3] and it gained international notoriety by becoming the lowest rated film on IMDb's Bottom 100 list in 2011.[4] British film magazine Total Film named it the fourth worst film ever made and FMC.hu included it on their list of the ten worst films ever made.[5][6] Origo called it "one of the worst Hungarian films of [the decade]"

Watched El Eternauta Season 1. 6 episodes of an Argentinian telly show, based on a comic book.
Curious it came out 2 days after the big Spanish outage, since the series core component is a blackout.
The background story is solid, I don't want to spoiler it too much. Is it a prelude to Startship Troopers? I dunno.
The story itself however, the events, happenings, it did not feel that interesting, it did not engage me that much. The characters are realistic, every day people, some dumb, mostly understandable motivations. But perhaps this is the reason why I found flat, the heroes aren't that interesting.
The end of the season lays the foundation for the next, not sure if they'll continue.
All in all far better than The Last of US - half of episode 4 was lesbian nonsense.

Watched the Conclave.
I think it's pretty good, some pretty pictures.
The outcome can be guessed but the real outcome just very late.
To really write my opinion I have to spoil the movie.
Probably many would pout on shoehorning a "tranny" into the movie, but I view it as a commentary of the sins of the church. Throughout the movie they ditch candidates, the one who was lustful, the one who bribed, the racist, just to end up with the sexually "ambiguous", the not man and not woman, neither Adam or Eve. Just one more hypocritical act of the church. I have no doubt this isn't how the creators of the movie think about it, but I can see that, and this is what I prefer to get out of it.

Conclave. Enclave of cons.

Watched Bodies. Naked body with missing eye found in Whitechapel... I expected something like From Hell and I got... whatever this is.
It's not bad. Despite the classic Bri'ish wokist tropes it grabs the attention for the first half of the season, but then the second half falls flat.
This will be spoilers: if that guy traveled in time not just backwards to three places but one time to the future, why he did not travel 2 more times in the future, and why the villain and the scrawny tiny detective chick traveled only once and to the same place?

I watched Life on Mars.
It's a Bri'ish procedural crime show with time travel element. Started watching because of this  >>/54504/ but it's nothing like it. It's just some copper falling into a coma in 2006 and dreams its 1976.
I'm not a great fan of the Bri'ish 70s aesthetics (beyond Gov's car and driving style) not great fan of the current one either. The story is somewhat flat and boring. The very first episode is interesting since he has future knowledge and ties to use, they should have operated this more, and instead the procedural format they should ahve used a more overarching mystery.

the-expanse jpg
(851.07 KB, 1920x1080)

The Expanse - and we can think of the novels too here, not just the telly show - is more of a hard sci-fi, which means generally stick to legit science beyond the fiction.
One grave mistake: belters live in micro-gravity and through the generations they got sensitive to gravity, they even tortured by Earth 1G.
But then how can they stand the acceleration/deceleration of their spaceships with their way more - way more - gravitational pull than the pleasant Earthly 1. They could do stuff in space, but flying around with Epstein drive should not be in their skillset. Or in their lives at all. Unless they want flat and crushed belters.

Belters are the greatest cunts in the universe and they do nothing in the whole show that'd make them at least a bit likable.
Yeah, they suffer and die and exploited and experimented on. And it can make them someone to feel sorry for but this doesn't make them likeable.
I don't remember the book much how they are depicted.

Martians suck. Which makes the Earthers the best bunch but that's because they are the most bland.

It has it's ups and downs. Love and heartbreak. Just like life. Only way to know is to watch it and then know.

I've a lot on my list, potentially weird ones too from Japan. So I open to watch Cal Dreaming, just not sure when.

I hope it's not like Fear and Loathing, I did not enjoy that movie.

Btw in October we're watching The Great Train Robbery, a classi.

 >>/54599/
Another bs. If Belter bone is so weak (low bone density) they'd die during birth, they'd get crushed and broken.

Now thinking about life in space. It must be like prison. Even on Mars, the people has to be indoors in confined spaces, closed in rooms and hallways. If there was a space prison they couldn't escape only if they'd enter another prison called spaceship.
Space life must suck infa 100%.

It's a telly show. But maybe they'll make another movie.
I think on one hand they can't come up with new ideas, and on the other they have running franchises and they have to sell it by both keeping the original fans, and sucking the zoomers into consooming it too.

May I recommend you a movie for your movie club? In 2023 a Finnish movie about Spede (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt24803658/) was released. Until today I was convinced there were no English subs, but I just discovered that there are indeed English subs on opensubtitles: https://www.opensubtitles.org/en/search/sublanguageid-all/idmovie-1694424, so I think this would be a great fit for your club.
If you need the movie file, I could provide that.
