This is also the best way to watch House because even though that is the case, House always ends up being right and so he wins out in the end even if he pulls six-degrees-of-separation levels of logic in the final diagnosis. I can think of maybe half a dozen times when he made the final diagnosis and then was wrong, and one of those is because he got shot and the whole episode was a hallucination.

The thing that got me about Happy Feet is that it opens with loving Salt n' Pepas "Lets Talk about Sex" except they replaced sex with eggs. How is this in any way appropriate for a loving childrens movie? Seriously, Lets Talk about Sex. Rated PG.

I've never sat through a whole one of the new Transformers movies, but the trailers and clips they show on movie review shows have some really leery creepshot-like framing of any time a woman shows up, and swearing censored by loud crashes and bangs, so characters say things like "clusterf-" *CRASH*. It's about what you'd expect from a big sleazy Hollywood movie, but these movies are supposed to be about those wee toys that folded into other toys that we all played with as kids! It'd be like a Clangers movie where they contact the US and Soviet space programs and the rest of the thing turns into a gritty Cold War movie. Or Postman Pat dealing with public sector strikes and police brutality.

No I think I remember it and it does get a police officer killed as that is then a setup for why the local pd don't turn up later when someone gets abducted or something. Anyway, the whole point of that bit was really that Jane has gone off the rails and doesn't even pretend to think about the possibility of being wrong.

Pilchenstein posted:Yeah but isn't House running the "If in doubt: gently caress about" wing of the hospital? People only get sent to him when the proper doctors run out of ideas. There was the one episode where they lost a patient to a simple staph infection, just because they weren't looking for something simple. Was it ever lupus? That was always the :25 minute diagnosis, never the correct one.

AFewBricksShy posted:Was it ever lupus? There was an episode where, yes, it was lupus. It was suggested way early on in the episode and House shot it down because it's never lupus.  My favorite missed diagnosis thing on House was the episode with the blind dude. The key symptom that brought everything together went unnoticed by the team because it was an eye issue, which they did not look at because the dude didn't have working eyes in the first place. It was somehow equal parts realistic and unrealistic that they wouldn't catch it. CJacobs has a new favorite as of 14:07 on Jul 24, 2014 |

Basically, this mammoth is lead to believe he's the last of his species, which is his Problem Of The Day (tm). He meets a female mammoth, which is obviously set up to be his love interest. One of the first things he says to her? "Hey, wanna save our species?" Even the 10-year old that dragged me into that movie knew what that was all about. it's mammoth loving

What is the appropriate age to mention to children that birds make(fertilize for the pedantic) eggs by having the sex? (Pg-)13 seems a little late.

I knew how baby making worked about three years before I learned Santa Claus wasn't real. Like telling a kid they're adopted, demystifying the process early doesn't hurt.

CJacobs posted:There was an episode where, yes, it was lupus. It was suggested way early on in the episode and House shot it down because it's never lupus. The reason behind 'it's never lupus' is that lupus is a rare genetic autoimmune disease with no consistent profile of symptoms, so essentially any random collection of symptoms could potentially be lupus. Saying 'It's lupus!' would be the lazy dumb answer, which House was supposedly trying to avoid. (This doesn't excuse House for being Lazy Writing: The Medical Diagnosis Drama, but that's what the catchphrase means.)

My parents showed me a video of a childbirth with the head crowning & all when I was I guess like 3 or 4. As I recall there were also some discussion of male/female anatomy and the whole process coming before the actual birth. But that was Denmark in the early 1980s.

That's not even what I have the issue with. I rewatched it again, but Happy Feet has a bunch of really weird poo poo in the beginning intro. From prince, to Salt N Peppa, but it's basically about a whole bunch of guy penguins wanting to gently caress a girl penguin and I just couldn't believe what I was seeing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EcHTn5HXSK0 Also Robin Williams character is called Lovelace.

Dr_Amazing posted:I'm not asking him to explain internal combustion or anything. He just seems strangely confused by things he sees everyday. It's like showing someone from our time a record player, and he starts yelling about ghosts of musicians being trapped inside a magic disc. I got to take umbrage with this. It's been a while since I watched Thor so forgive me if I'm wrong but as far as I can remember at no point do they do the wacky man out time thing with him shouting about horseless carriages or magic viewing box or anything like that. He act's like a dick and unused to normal culture and try's to buy a horse out of a pet shop (which makes total sense when you think about it.)and he seems unable to drive or has any road sense but he seems fine with technology and unsurprised by it apart from maybe not being used it looking like it does. My irrational irritation with Thor is those two arseholes that call what is obviously a giant hammer "some kinda satellite". Oh and the whole of Happy Feet could go in this thread, gently caress that movie. In my opinion it's even shittier than Bee Movie. Krypt-OOO-Nite!! has a new favorite as of 14:11 on Jul 25, 2014 |

I'm sorry tipper gore, but I really think the ship has sailed on "Bringing up your kids as if they live in some imaginary pseudo victorian bubble where table legs are covered up in case that makes you feel weird in what, if absolutely forced to by circumstances you would refer to as your unmentionables". And if you associate Lovelace with Linda before Ada, then I think that says more about you than the movie to be honest.

What weirded me out about Happy Feet was that the main girl penguin wanted to marry/mate with the main boy penguin, who still had all the baby penguin markings despite being an adult. Yes yes his egg was dropped he was the odd one, but really made me go Huh.

It's okay, even though he looks like a child, he's actually an adult! There's nothing weird about being attracted to an adult in a child's body.

Note that the song "Let's Talk About Sex" is also literally about "hey talking about sex isn't weird. Everybody does it. Stop pretending it doesn't exist 'cause that's what makes it weird." There's something amazing about being able to miss the point that badly.

I was incredibly annoyed in the Avengers when Hawkeye was falling off the roof, and shot an arrow at some hosed up angle like up and to the right to how he was falling, but still managed to somehow make it go in a straight line to hit the building. I know it's dumb, but it's a big budget movie and dammit, it's not like you didn't center the god damned camera on that shot anyway. How hard would it have been to just retake that shot and tell the actor "AIM AT THE loving CAMERA JACKASS". And that, my friends, is the irrational irritation for the morning.

They missed an opportunity with Hawkeye when he said that if put an arrow in Loki's eye socket, he would sleep better. When he gets his shot, the arrow would have hit Loki in the neck or jaw area had he not caught it in mid-air. And that reminds me of the scene in Jedi where Han gets Lando to promise to bring the Falcon back without a scratch. You half expected the Falcon to be destroyed, but it comes back without its radar dish and Han says nothing. Mister Kingdom has a new favorite as of 21:45 on Jul 27, 2014 |
