Nahh, it's honestly cool, it's never been used in an actual good movie, so if you saw the trailer for something and went "that looks like a piece of poo poo I'm not watching it" you probably self-selected for never hearing that song. Perfectly reasonable.

Something that bothered me in Before I Go To Sleep: Shortly after we find out that "Ben" is actually Mike, the baddy, he's sitting in his car and ignoring a whole load of missed calls from Claire. But why would Claire have his phone number? She doesn't even know who he is, she's been talking to the real Ben this whole time. I thought it might be Christine's phone that Mike's confiscated, but we haven't seen it until then, and Christine wouldn't have remembered she had it, and we always see her using the house phone instead.

Nerds will rule the world when chainmail and lab goggles stop you from becoming a zombie In The Goon, we see him wobble on the ice in the beginning, we get the story that he broke his ankle, we watch the zoom in of the skate going into his ankle, we hear the crunch, but during the big confrontation, his dick hole friend still yells out, "He's got bad ankles!" Thanks for spelling out for us, again. We're not as stupid as Doug, you can trust us to understand what is going on, we'll get it In Silent Hill, why is the evil explained? Like I get it, but Silent Hill is supposed to be a mirror of the person in it, having the demon girl makes a little sense, but the nurses, the miners, the bugs, the spitting guy, pyramid head and the super industrial hellscape don't fit, those are James' demons, not whatsherface's

They didn't exactly burn all their clothes before zombifying, any neighborhood would offer all the protective gear you would need.

Godzilla 2014... where do I even begin? Spoilers galore and gently caress putting tags around them. * Technical ineptitude to advance the plot. I'm supposed to believe a guy who has been "digging holes for 30 years" didn't do any kind of seismic survey before loading the dig site with workers and huge machines? Those bones were like 100 feet under ground, that's just inexcusable. * Slow-turn-to-look-at-what's-behind you. This has cropped up at least twice. If you know there's a dangerous, giant beast/ghost/serial killer, and you think it's right behind you waiting, is turning around slowly really going to make it not notice you've seen it? Just run away, moron. * People standing extremely close to a dangerous area and staring. When the first MUTO emerges there are dozens of workers just standing like statues within spitting distance of it, even after it starts wrecking poo poo. Even after they see their buddies die! No human does this. * Not understanding what the audience wants. They were still cock-teasing the monster an hour into the film. Finally, Godzilla appears! And it's going to fight the other monster, hooray! [cut to the next day] What the actual gently caress? * Flying planes/choppers waaay too close to monsters. Come on guys you're supposed to be good at this, maybe don't fly directly at the big dangerous thing while shooting it from point blank range? I know this is down to video rendering/framing of shots but it just looks stupid. * A different MUTO appears! Let's automatically assume this one is female despite the complete lack of any evidence. Why? Because! And let's not even attempt to evacuate Las Vegas, they'll figure it out once it gets there right? * Moving nuclear warheads on an uncovered traincar without even a tarp or anything. I'm like halfway through this stinker and I almost don't want to finish it but god drat it, I'm not a quitter. Chard has a new favorite as of 04:44 on Sep 13, 2014 |

Aggressive pricing posted:Probably to prevent a fatal infection, zombies don't brush. Yeah in TWD and the original Romero movies a zombie bite will always causes a fatal infection unless there is an immediate amputation. A bite is not required to be the cause of death to cause the zombification though. Bippie Mishap posted:THey inserted clips from the movie so way to go I guess? Why such a hard-on for Mystery men? Cross promotion. They did this all the time back when people still watched videos on TV. The movie pays the budget for your lovely video and gets a commercial for their lovely movie movie airing on MTV constantly. Lagomorphic has a new favorite as of 04:46 on Sep 13, 2014 |

There's like 10 minutes of footage of Godzilla in the entire hour and a half long movie if you put all of it end to end.

Like I get it, but Silent Hill is supposed to be a mirror of the person in it, having the demon girl makes a little sense, but the nurses, the miners, the bugs, the spitting guy, pyramid head and the super industrial hellscape don't fit, those are James' demons, not whatsherface's Silent Hill, initially, was created as a manifestation of Alessa's psychic abilities, when she went through intense pain and into a coma or something. The psycho-analytic stuff wasn't added until Silent Hill 2. So the backstory of the movie is actually spot on to the game. As to why it's explained so bluntly, that's because someone at some point decided that audiences are morons that wouldn't be able to understand a plot with even the hint of subtlety in it. The miners weren't evil, they were the town's residents. Spitting guy is actually a monster from SH1 - bugs are new, but you could, I guess, chalk that up to a fear of bugs on Alessa's part. Nurses are there because she saw a fuckload of nurses in her coma or whatever - they're also a big part of SH1 (they're not supposed to be sexualized, though). Pyramid Head was used because he's 'popular', except the people that make these decisions never realize that his place is entirely with James. Unfortunately, he's become some sort of weird mascot of the franchise by people who don't understand it.

Bugs aren't new, there were cockroach enemies in Silent Hill 1 and a larva/moth boss! The Silent Hill movie is unoriginal and terrible and insulting to the games on basically all fronts!  The town's backstory was correctly played out in the movie and it's one of the only things they actually managed to get right, though. It's just too bad the rest of it was garbage.

The town's backstory is boring and not what's interesting. It's better when it gets treated as an absolute like it was in SH2. It's about the people who come to Silent Hill rather than the town itself. The film didn't get that at all.

Silent Hill 1 was completely about that though, and the Silent Hill movie was supposed to be Silent Hill 1 The Movie. At least they didn't go in depth and explain the whole indian burial ground thing that gets brought up a few times during the series. They went as far back as Silent Hill 1 goes, but they didn't go back any further, and I'm thankful for that.

True enough, but Silent Hill was shithouse. Silent Hill 2 is the game that made the series and was the quintessential Silent Hill, which is why it was so dumb they made the film about the first game. To add a bit of content. I watched Oldboy recently and it was great obviously. Just after Oh Dae Su is freed someone curses at him and he says "TV never taught me to swear" or something. TV is full of swears, it was just such a strange line.

Yeah, the movie did follow the first game fairly well, and could have been a good entry point for successive movies that got more into the psychology like SH2. Pyramid Head really shouldn't have been there, but that was a ploy to get fans of the series (many of whom got into it more with 2 than 1) invested. The SH3 game gave some indications that Pyramid Head was something more than just something out of James' psyche, but now he's become a mascot of the series and the concept is pretty ruined. The first movie was a mess from a story standpoint, but the visuals were great. The second is the bigger disaster, I think.

You're not really wrong, but 1 and 3 were very different from 2 (and the later ones were all very different from 1-3.) I won't nerd out about details because this isn't the thread for it. But yeah, they did get a lot of the mythology of Silent Hill wrong in the movie, but when is the last time you saw a movie based on a franchise with a small nerd fan base that was absolutely faithful to the source material and was successful?
