In star trek at least once an episode someone will use a common phrase or metaphor that they know no future people will understand. Picard: Now we're just waiting for the other shoe to drop. Geordi: The shoe? I don't understand at all. Picard: It's an old expression it means blah blah blah It's incredibly douchey to randomly speak in a way you know no one else will understand just so you can show off and explain it too them. Also no one can understand any sort of context and make a guess at what the other person might be saying if they don't spell it out. It's especially dumb when Data has to ask what a word is since he has a whole dictionary and encyclopedia built into his brain.

Ignite Memories posted:Me and a friend both went into Mulholland Drive totally blind and never having seen a David Lynch movie before. This was back when netflix was just on DVD, and it suggested that he would really like this movie, so he rented it. My mother-in-law is a tiny little lady from Ciudad Juarez, and also a devout Mormon convert. Years ago, she takes my wife's older brother, then about eleven, to the movies without checking what was playing. They look at the titles and decide to choose one that sounded interesting. It was The Crying Game. Her brother still thinks it's pretty funny, but he admitted that it was a very, very awkward car ride home after a certain scene. mng posted:Oh yeah, it's just the only thing that stuck out to me, but then I've seen it so many times. Patrick was also partly chosen because he didn't blink (except once or twice I think) while shooting, managing a blind reload, then continuing shooting. Definitely loving terrifying as an unrelenting terminator. Watch Arnold in the first Terminator when he executes Sarah Connor's roommate, versus Robert Patrick in the second firing his Beretta down the service hallway of the mall. Schwarzenegger flinches hard from the muzzle blast that his eyes nearly close. Robert Patrick magdumps, reloads and magdumps again without so much as a facial twitch. I met him in at a USO thing once and told him he scared the absolute poo poo out of me when I was a little kid. Evidently he gets that a lot. Really nice guy, too.

The T-1000 should have multiple arms holding a clip right underneath the gun so it can immediately reload instead of inefficiently reloading like a human. Immersion ruined.

Bertrand Hustle posted:It's almost like he was deliberately describing that fight. Big guy is absolutely really one of those abnormally huge terrifying motherfuckers in real life. The Craster's Keep fight was even worse. "We are outnumbered and attacking a fortified position, the only advantage we have is the element of surprise. So what we're going to do is scream as loud as possible and then do a dead sprint towards them, just to make sure we are tired and that they know where we are and where we're coming from. Then I'm going to lure their knife expert in as close to as I can with my longsword, that way I can fully utilize my pommel and elbows."

I hate that every time Star Trek: TNG drags the past into their conversations or brings up some old metaphor, it's from our actual past. The show starts in the year 2364 and I think they mention something that happened between 1991 and 2364 like four or five times total, generally in reference to the original series, and never once in relation to cultural or artistic development. They're all obsessed with Babe Ruth and Dixieland Jazz and detective novels, and it's just like if everyone now was alway whinging on about Caroline-era stage plays and the value of natural philosophers. I mean, I know that there's supposed to be a sort of post-war dark ages in that timeline, but you know what's interesting is post war dark ages! Also, did no one invent a sport worth obsessing over in 350 years? American football is only 120 years old or so, if we were following TNG rules we'd all be on about pugilism and the Cotswold Olympicks.

Coffee And Pie posted:I have never seen Mulholland Drive and have absolutely no idea what it's about. Descriptions and trailers really have become a bit annoying. Some of the best movie viewings I ever had happened when people just brought stuff over and at most we'd know the title, maybe the director and one or two actors, and rather than waste precious movie time figuring out what we'd probably like best, we'd draw one from the stack and strapped the gently caress in for better or worse. BiggerBoat posted:What's so hard about making a decent Godzilla, Hulk, Transformers film or even a decent Alien or Terminator sequel or a new RoboCop movie? These things practically write themselves they're so god damned simple, especially Godzilla and Hulk. Why is this tricky?

Bringing a classic instrument straight into the future. It's really difficult to find a good picture because 'star trek wedding' turns up all of the very wrong things. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9OOgsPQNT9U And Picard's photo album from Generations has these stupid hologram borders.  I hate like, 75% of the TNG movies, everyone acts so differently compared to the show.

I know what you mean, I remember the neon cymbals, they're from one of those movies where Worf is just back for whatever reason. Big green plastic cymbals, would totally make a noise like "clack" unless they were just an aftermarket USB plugin for a drum machine. Probably makes that percussionist feel real good, all "I could be replaced by a button."

There's parrises squares as far as sports go, but that's about it. TOS had Colonel Green in that episode with simulations of historical figures representing good and evil.

Anosmoman posted:So whenever the protagonist is completely outclassed in a hand-to-hand fight the baddie will just throw him around for a bit. First through a window, then walk over and pick him up, then throw him through some shelves, walk over an pick him up, then throw him on a table that disintegrates. Stop the inefficiency! I wanna see one of those abnormally huge/powerful guys who's actually terrifying because he would murder you if he got his hands on you instead of just moving you around a room and bruising you until you find a random object you can impale him with. I dunno know I just think it's a cop out and it's almost formulaic at this point. If you'd like to see a fight between two Big Guys done right... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Blki-DISUis Its from season 3 of Deadwood, and while I guess it contains somewhat of a spoiler (one of them dies), there is literally nothing you need to know about this scene to enjoy it other than these two men hate each other so much that they're willing to try to beat one another to death in the mud one afternoon. Probably one of the rawest moments in an already incredibly raw show. e: *with their bare hands. DeathFromAbove1988 has a new favorite as of 18:40 on Oct 1, 2014 |

What would have been great is if just one time in Quark's bar as all the people traipsed in and out of the holo-sims dressed as WW1 fighter pilots and 60s superspies there was a group of people in the background heading up dressed as TOS era crewmen. Like you know Kirk's adventures have to be super popular pulp heroism stuff in the TNG era. Green space cymbals. Note that 380 years from now our advances in music will be plastic cymbals and cerulean becoming an available color for mandolins. theironjef has a new favorite as of 19:38 on Oct 1, 2014 |

I know it's a tv show, but there's no way that thing would be used for anything except loving holograms. Instead half the crew goes in and simulates having a picnic or something. I guess it's neat that Worf uses it to practice murdering people.

Pilchenstein posted:I loved how they'd run out of money for cgi spaceships and just do an episode where everybody was in period costume, loving about on the holodeck. To be fair, if you asked me to describe the plot of an episode, I can't remember a single one except "they dicked about on a pirate ship?" so I guess that one is my favourite. They all had some stupid thing they liked to do. Picard liked old spy novels, Bashir liked less old but still ridiculously old in Star Trek years spy novels, O'Brien wanted to reenact wars that are further away from him than the Revolutionary war is from us, Paris liked 1930s adventure shows with pots and pans robots, and Barclay liked to gently caress his coworkers. Also I think Geordi used it to practice loving his coworkers or something, is that right?

Having said that, I seem to remember Kirk and co landing on a planet where everyone was a 50s gangster and another planet that was all densely packed hitlers, so I guess my issue with the holodeck is just laziness? Like, there's enough poo poo in the universe that statistically there must be a planet with nothing but 17th century pirates on it somewhere, they just can't be arsed to look for it.
