Years ago when I was in the police I worked with a guy who had that job. He said you won't believe how many people jokingly told him how 'lucky' he was he got to look at porn all day and get paid for it. I'm guessing those people had some incredibly warped misconception about the sort of images he had to work with. I asked him 'so what do you say to that?' and he just became visibly angry and said something about how looking at babies being tortured was soul destroying. I cannot fathom how anybody could do that job for even a day :smith:

edit - well poo poo, totally forgot what thread I was in. Sorry for derail.

I have come to discourse on the profound inequities of the American political system.

Watching Adam Sandler movies is soul destroying.

So, I watched Interstellar last night, good musical score, great visuals.

I just want to choke the writers to death though. Really? We're running out of oxygen? Are you actually loving kidding me? I've seen disaster movies that with less awfully reasoned world enders than that. Or the scene where's she standing in the loving room like "I'm here, poo poo will just happen and I'll poo poo some solution out of my rear end in ten seconds" I get that it's supposed to be an opportunity for what's his face to right his wrongs but come the gently caress on.

Wait what? I thought that show ensed with George absorbing the evil soul of the abusive ex, getting shiny fingernails, then frustrating the poo poo out of me.

Also an annoying movie thing that might be rational: I've been looking forward to Book of Life since it came out in the states and it finally came out april 2nd. There's only two showings a day and they're both before noon. And here i wanted an excuse to take my mum to dinner and admit to being trans...

Nope. It ends with Rube getting his lights off camera, everyone breaking character, and George becoming the new middle management. I wish it just ended with the shiny fingernails.

I will save you the trip: don't waste your time. It looks pretty and flashy, which it is, but the story is spoonfed to you (there are about four or five scenes where it cuts from the main story to the narrator telling kids the story and their various reactions. Because you NEED to be told when something is sad!) and overall it sucks. Nice animation, but lots of movies have that.

Excessive narration, is there EVER a good time for it?

I get irrationally irritated when a convoluted and frustrating situation resulting from a silly misunderstanding can be resolved at any time during the events of a movie by a simple conversation that nobody is willing to have. It's one thing if it's a comedy where one person keeps trying to clear things up but keeps getting interrupted in funny ways, but there are too many more serious films where everyone's got ample opportunity to fix poo poo and they don't because it would ruin the tension or whatever.

You want to take your mom to a children's animated movie, dinner, and then tell her you're trans.

Just...goddamn. Maybe tell her at home, where she won't feel as uncomfortable, although there's no situation where she'll feel 100 % comfortable, and can react to it naturally without feeling like you're making a scene and she's on display.

That terrible Eurotrip movie was the worst about this. His European pen pal blocks his email adress, so instead of just taking 5 seconds and making a new email adress he spends thousands of dollars to go to Europe and show up on her doorstep.

I don't know why but this reminds me of Mr Bean's Holiday (the second movie) which I thought was cute. I liked the idea of only having 6 of the 8 numbers of the father phone number and having to try all 100 possible remaining digits to reunite them. It was kinda nice, especially how Mr Bean wasn't an rear end. He noticed the awful thing that had happened due to distracting the kid in the first place and spent the entire movie endlessly trying to rectify it.

On that note, I don't enjoy the scene in a movie where someone leaves a voice mail message or sends an email message, and the other person deletes it without even a peek. Who does that? If I get a voice mail from an ex, I listen to it just to hear them squirm, and then delete it. Or I read an email and then delete. Nobody functions that way!

You're saying that if you blocked someone's email because they called you a loving freak and they responded by immediately circumventing your block, your reaction wouldn't be "Oh, gently caress that guy"?

Also the whole plot of the movie is that the lead goes to meet the girl in person to show he's genuine and sincere, and chooses to hitchhike across Europe because he can't afford the trip. I can understand you not liking it, it's no more than a middling movie, but it's a bit unfair to hate it for things that aren't even in the movie.

I think it's one of two things (or perhaps both):

a) Humungus had no idea that Max had pulled a 180 and didn't see him until Max crested the hill Humungus was going up. He didn't have enough time to react.

b) He had just kicked in not one, but two bottles of Nitrous Oxide and was going so fast that anything other than straight line would have been catastrophic.

I've always seen it as more scenario a with a dash of b.

Last Stand is kind of amazing for doing something that usually irritates me a lot. In action movies there tend to be many instances where the participants of a shootout take cover behind things that then get all shot up. This is not so bad when they're using cars as cover, as movies have successfully conditioned me to accept that cars are as bulletproof as they need to be in any given scene to achieve drama. This applies to Last Stand as well, cars get hosed up badly in that movie. However, one bad guy takes cover behind a melon truck. He uses the water melons and the wooden boards at the sides of the truck for cover, and there are several instances where the boards and melons he hides behind get hit, but for some reason the bullets only do surface damage to the wood and pop the melons, yet the guy remains unharmed. It's simply amazing.

I seem to remember instances in other movies where people flip over tables and take cover behind them. Unless the scene takes place in a 90s Yuppie hangout where the tables are all chromed steel, this strikes me as a terrible idea.
