Did at one time in Locke, a caller id on the phone said Bastard, instead of Bethan?

Bastard was the caller ID label for his boss. e: Or do you mean it was actually Bethan calling but it said Bastard?

Origami Dali posted:Here's a list of possible origins. It's loving crazy how obscure, context-specific things get isolated from their original context and float freely through pop culture, like how that nervous collar pull and "eeehhhhoooohhhh" that Jon Stewart does all the time on the Daily Show comes from a bit Johnny Carson did in 1971. Or like how so many movie monsters in the 50s and 60s walk with their arms straight out in front of them because Frankestein's Monster goes blind in the fourth sequel to Frankenstein and so Bela Lugosi plays him with his arms stuck out to feel his way along by touch. I mean, who the gently caress even knows there were four sequels to Frankenstein or that Bela loving ended up playing the monster?

Eggnogium posted:I watched Blue Ruin yesterday and it reminded me of Out Of The Furnace. And Joe. And The Place Beyond The Pines. And Sun Don't Shine. And Mud. Is there a name for this subgenre of indie dramas? The common features I can think of (with some exceptions here and there) are: Hellion is okay, but I really liked A Single Shot.

No grizzled males, but you should watch Winter's Bone as well.

Edge of Tomorrow: Why did the general want the Major to fight in the war so badly? I can only surmise he wanted a scapegoat in case things went south? Also, why after Tom had the vision of the Louvre, didn't they just freaking shoot him in the head? Why run and risk everything? Cause drama I guess?

At first the general wanted Cage to cover the action in person but when he tried to blackmail his way out the general went all "gently caress you, now we're busting you down to private and you can go die on the beach." After he gets the vision of the Louvre he is injured and the medics give him a blood transfusion which negates his ability to loop so if he got killed after that it'd be permanent and no one would know where to find the Omega.

The general transferred him there in retaliation for attempting to blackmail him, because he would probably get killed. After having that vision, he was given a blood transfusion, which meant that he no longer had his powers. How it's even possible to discover that you've lost powers that only activate when you die is not addressed, but it had happened before and probably has something to do with that scientist guy.

Also because the end of the movie needs to have some stakes, and you can't really have that if your main character dying only makes him better at doing the thing he needs to do.

Thanks. Right, I get the blood thing it was just dumb to try to flee in a car when a bullet is faster.  . I think I have a few more, just need to get my thoughts straight. I did enjoy the film.

I think the idea is that the technology they used to trace the omega may have alerted the omega that they were aware of it's presence. If it could sense the trace, it will move asap during the next loop. This would explain why they try to escape and carry out their attack in the same loop.

Can anyone explain why Mad Max is so popular? There is a lot of cool stuff going on the movie but the pacing is really awful, and everybody starts doing dumb poo poo for no reason (reminds me of Prometheus). I'm thinking the cool stuff must be what everyone remembers, and the not the 45 minutes of nothing happening, but maybe I'm missing something.

It's really The Road Warrior that's massively popular, not Mad Max. And it's popular because it's basically the Star Wars of the post-apocalypse.

Mad Max has a really cool vibe and some awesome car chases. Glad we could get to the bottom of this mystery together.

I think the slack pace of Mad Max is worth it if just to provide a contrast with how hardcore the last two minutes are. (An example of an 'origin story' done right?)

Despite the fact that it will probably be awful and everyone should have reservations about it, I am looking forward to the remake/reboot/reimagining/sequel/prequel Mad Max movie. The invention of Netflix and digital distribution seems to have been a blessing for the Documentary genre as there seems to have been a recent boom in quality docos. Is this actually the case? Are documentary film makers able to secure funding easier and make more of a living in this day an age or have there always been this many docos around and I was just unaware of them?

It's not exactly a reboot. It's by the same director as the old films and is meant to be set somewhere between them. It was originally meant to be a Unforgiven style "Old man looking back at his violent life and getting drawn back into it" film starring Mel Gibson but somehow morphed into what is basically one long feature length car chase. I suspect Mel going a bit crazier might have something to do with them casting another younger actor in his place.

Mad Max is meant to be a sort of folklore whispered about amongst the survivors the societal collapse. More a memory or a legend than a person, hence the narration - so continuity doesn't fuckin' matter.

If that's the case I can understand why people hold Mad Max in higher regard (viewing it as an origin story). I'll have to check out the Road Warrior.

It's interesting to see the shift between the two. Mad Max is sort of a dystopian decaying society picture, where there's technically a civilization but it's increasingly falling apart. Road Warrior, all of that is gone. It's a totally different world.

It's a totally different world. Yeah I've always liked that where Road Warrior is the archetypal post-apocalypse movie, Mad Max is the much rarer pre-apocalypse movie. Which makes it a bit scarier, in my opinion.

I envy someone who hasn't seen The Road Warrior, I imagine it'd be like watching Come Drink With Me where every other shot you're just like "oh, that's where every subsequent film in the genre got all their poo poo from."

The Road Warrior is one of those rare movies I don't think I've ever heard an unkind word about, ever. Like, the closest thing is people saying "shame what happened to Mel Gibson, huh?"
