mng posted:It does fit with everything else; a lot of things haven't gotten much forethought besides "dinosaurs!" And we have ONE game warden/zookeeper. Of course the rest could have left on that stupid boat for whatever reason, but in my experience working at a zoo, you have one or two people who actually know what the gently caress they are doing, and the rest mostly gently caress around and sneak off to smoke. And like the zoo, Hammond knew zilch about the animals other than they will bring in a poo poo ton of money. gently caress, rereading the book when I worked at the zoo, the zoo's owner started sounding a lot more like Hammond. And he could have been a brother to the man who played him in the movie looks-wise.

I wish Jurassic Park had a scene where all the main characters shouted at each other "Just don't think about it you stupids, it's a dinosaur movie!!" as all 3 main adult characters stumbled over each other in their attempts to avoid directly addressing the audience but still wink-and-nodding in a way that says 'gently caress you for liking dinosaurs'.

WOAH, jesus calm down, it's just dinos. Not time travel, that's the serious issue plaguing the industry.

The entire comic is nothing but torture porn from the jail onwards which is why I stopped reading it.

nucleicmaxid posted:No, in the tour's video he even references himself as if he'd be present at the tour each time it happened. "Hello John!" and "I'll need a drop of blood, your blood." only for him to start cloning more John Hammonds. I mean it could've been a video made for special tours, but it looks more like he's going to be there for each one. You already got the best answer but, it's a special presentation that was basically advertising to the scientists who could pretty much sink his whole park right out the gate. He wasn't going to let a bunch of random snot nosed kids run through his cloning labs and poo poo either.

Non Serviam posted:I didn't like any of the versions, but I truly hated the one from the second season. That singing sounds like he's passing a kidney stone. And here I thought I was the only one who hated the theme. Nothing made me grab for the remote to fast forward faster than the start of it. I guess my irritating moment is unnecessarily long and grating theme songs - Oz is also a very bad offender of this. Your intro song does not need to be a solid 2 minutes long. If you need to have an annoying theme song, at least be kind to the viewer like The Shield and make it only last like 10 seconds.

^My only issue with The Wire theme is that it goes on forever, like you're saying. I enjoy all the different versions but when I'm burning through a season it gets old really quick.

On a similar note, screw the producers of Monk for changing the theme song. The original was a quirky little upbeat song that would get stuck into my head after I listened to it. Then they switched it to that stupid lumbering Randy Newman song.

Solice Kirsk posted:I'd actually prefer shows to not have opening themes. This. The best two opening themes I've ever come across are Lost and Breaking Bad, literally 5 seconds of a splash screen and a little jingle similar to something you'd hear in a radio show. Though I can also appreciate the GoT intro and how it changes along with the story. That thing won awards for a reason.

I don't FF through the Elementary theme, because I like it. I also like the S8 iteration of the Doctor Who theme - it's the only one in the modern run that has actually got the right style to it.

Eclipse12 posted:Edge of Tomorrow stuff ahead: Gonna keep spoiler tags up for my irrationally irritating movie momements because I feel I will most likely ruin both Edge of Tomorrow and All You Need Is Kill for some people but in a nutshell: It's a great film, Tom Cruise manages to be an engaging protagonist for the first time in ages, the romantic subplot isn't overbearing and they even make sure the supporting characters get enough screen time that you feel the movie was worth their time. See it already. So firstly nitpicky wise I really wish they kept the name All You Need Is Kill, which I believe was it's working title, because it was a cool name. Secondly in the manga they have a little Day X+Y counter pop up which really doesn't do anything other then tell us that while we have only moved one page in time, the protagonist has moved about 80 attempts at the mission; I felt that if they included something like that along side or intercut with extended versions clips that make up the the mid-film montage of his failures the whole process of Tom Cruise going from being a out of his depth, scared rich boy to a hardened veteran with some serious psychological issues be a bit more solid. Also they kinda avoided the full extent of his damage except for the clip run where he didn't try to save anyone and simply watched them die with a passive face giving a nod to "Yeah look he has PTSD"; more acknowledgement of the issue turning him from the reluctant hero he is in the film into the solid anti-hero his character was in the book would have made me somewhat happier. Finally while the happy ending was decent for the film I felt it was a little too hand-wavey, I wish the ending had been the much more downer one from the manga just because it kept in tone with the "War is hell" message I was getting from the work. For context in the book Rita never lost her looping powers and they were stuck in it together; at the end of the book when they achieve their very similar objective to destroying the Omega they find themselves repeating the loop inadvertently realise that only one person at a time can have the power (one of them effectively becomes the new Omega) and are forced to fight to the death to be the one to survive and keep fighting (killing their Omega-equiv didn't end the war for them). In the end the Tom Cruise-equiv ends up killing Rita in front of the survivors of the battle. While he is now hailed as the last and best hope for humanity, with more Mimic kills in a single battle than any soldier has achieved in the entire war, he is also viewed with fear and disgust by the other soldiers as an unhinged manic who cut down a fellow soldier in the field because she appeared to get in his way. Sorry if this is a bit much for the Irritating Moments, but I wanted to wade in on the conversation about a movie I was REALLY overjoyed to see come out and be amazing inspite of my criticisms and the initial "Oh look Tom Cruise saves the world" reaction I got when I saw the poster.

I really like the Banshee intro (slightly  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fwGCIbK4LSg), not just for its theme but also because the visuals slightly change from one episode to the next. It's a series of photographs, and with each episode some are replaced or new ones are added. If you put them all in order they often tell a story, for example those at 0:13 show the course a boxing match, the gun at 0:18 is assembled piece by piece, and so on. It's just enough to keep me make me watch it in full every time, not least because those pictures often either tie in with the background or hint at things to come.

There's a good 45 minutes in The Raid 2 where Rama the protagonist goes without fighting anyone. Since fighting is all he does, he can't help but disappear in the middle act of the movie.
