Here's my I saw a link* where someone had helpfully gone and counted all of the rapes: quote:Rape acts in Game of Thrones the TV series (to date): 50 Surprised there's any time for dragons  * Also, the author of that article has no goddamn clue what "statistical analysis" means.

Gorilla Salad posted:Here's my There's no way those numbers are right. You're falling for some trolling because you haven't read the books. That or whoever came up with those lists just counted every act of sex as rape because "maybe this one wasn't consensual" like all the whores. I guess that's rape but its kinda blurring the issue to say "there were X acts of rape!" and they're all just a bunch of whores. By that definition The Sopranos showed just as much rape as Game of Thrones. Even then I'd be surprised if there were that many sex scenes period in the entire show much less rape scenes. The books are longer and have more sex scenes but the books also... Well probably shouldn't get too deep into this subject, not worth it.

I saw Jurassic World this past weekend. It is a bad movie. Here's the scene which knocked me out of my sense of disbelief. For a resort that hosts 20k+ people daily, you have 1 helicopter pilot. And 1 trainee who happens to be the CEO so he can go off and die. And they make a point to say "Where's the pilot? Oh he's helping with the evacuation." What the hell job does he have that is more important then being your only helicopter pilot. The sheer stupidity of that is what knocked me out of my sense of disbelief. Anyways, it's a bad movie, please don't go watch it even for nostalgia purposes.

Saw Insidious 3 last week. Towards the end, Lin Shaye tells the nerdy guy that he should dress better if they're going to work together. He says the t-shirt he's wearing is "vintage" and was very expensive. It bothered me that he searched for that shirt and spent a lot of money on it and still wore it out for a night of ghost hunting. A week later I see Jurassic World. A guy in the control room is wearing a Jurassic Park t-shirt says that it's vintage and cost him a lot of money. It was weird to have that specific thing bother me in two different movies released a week apart.

In Jurassic World, in‐universe cameras produce 3D footage. This irrationally irritated me. P.S.: Don’t watch it in 3D. It was converted, not shot stereoscopically. Platystemon has a new favorite as of 11:34 on Jun 16, 2015 |

So glad I didn't see Mad max in 3D. There's just so much going on in that film that it'd be a crime to force any of it into the background.

Counterpoint: Mad Max looked incredible in 3D. E: There were hardly any cheesy "COMING AT CHA" shots. The only one I remember was the steering wheel as the close to the last action scene, which is easy to forgive. Also the scene where Theron realizes there is no green place anymore and weeps looked so drat fine in 3D. I saw it in both formats at my theatre, and the 3D didn't lessen anything.

That was actually done with stop motion and physical props, and then overlaid on the crash footage, which I thought was really neat. No CGI apart from the compositing.

Firstborn posted:Counterpoint: Mad Max looked incredible in 3D. I went in bitching and moaning about the fact we were seeing Mad Max in the 3D theater. No amount of leather recliner seats, or 'they have a bar' could change my mind that 3D=lovely experience. I was wrong. So, so wrong. The 3D just kinda faded into the background. I didn't really notice it after a while, but I was still aware of it and could appreciate it much like I would any movie with exceptional cinematography. Somehow they managed to avoid the "what do I focus on?" conundrum with most movies filmed natively in 3D. I'm sure that when I see this when it's released on video, I'll be the one thinking, "Jeez, for some reason, this just doesn't look right... can't quite put my finger on it."

Saw Jurassic World over the weekend, and other than the complaints in this thread already, one thing really bugged me. The guy running the gyrosphere ride is your typical Six Flags apathetic teenager. I find it very hard to believe that there would be "summer job" employees like that helping run a park that is located on an island near Costa Rica.

Yeah my local theatre had no 2d screenings for Mad Max so I had to suck it up and see it in 3d too. It actually does look amazing in 3d. It helps that almost the entire film takes place outdoors in the desert so the glasses don't make everything look too dark. It also helps that for the most part they have the depth effect going into the screen so it's more like looking out a big window then a big pop-up book, which feels more natural and less distracting.

Yes, that's exactly it! I was trying to figure out why the 3D felt so different in Mad Max than the other abominations I've seen, and this describes it perfectly.

RealD is supposed to be better at depth, while IMAX 3D is better at pop out stuff. Movies rarely play to the strengths of the type of 3D a majority of its audience is going to see, for some reason.

Probably mostly by dint of having the thing you're supposed to be focusing on front and centre in many if not most shots. It;s one of the many good things about the cinematography in that film, they kept it very simple.

I think everyone will always be unhappy with the majority of the portrayals of their native accent. Irish ones are so painful to listen to, they're also really racist caricatures.

My favorite part of the new Terminator trailer was the part where they had characters quote lines from the previous movies as if they were not talking to the characters in question but instead the audience themselves. oh wait no that's my least favorite part because it's retarded.

I remembered an old moment that really bugged me when it came out - Karate Kid 2. So Scott Bao or whoever goes to Japan with Mr Miyagi and gets into a tussle with some local thugs. At one point, the thugs are buying vegetables off some local farmers because they're just that loving hard. But one of the weights on their scale breaks and it turns out it was made of plaster rather than metal. Oh no, they are ripping off the farmers! How evil. But the thugs were the ones buying, so using light weights mean the sales would show the produce as being heavier than it was, mean they would be paying out more money to the farmers. They were ripping themselves off

And you could see how those kids could grow up to maybe be Christian Bale's dude. And then now we have Jason Clarke? He's completely different. I get that they're doing it because the T-1000 is going to spend half the film looking like John so Jason Clarke is actually the bad guy, but that just defeats the whole point of having him be John. I can't see Emilia Clarke being his mother... ... wait... Jason Clarke, Emilia Clarke... don't tell me some stupid Hollywood exec cast them as family because they have the same real name IRL

I like how in burn notice in the pilot episode they have that lady do the worst loving irish accent ever and when they got picked up they immediately wrote her first line of dialog as "how do you like my american accent? I am a spy too so I can do this. I will use it from now on, forever, even during the episodes we go to ireland or whatever." So it's a bad show and I gave up on it after half a season but every time it comes on the first thing you hear in the intro explaining the premise is her attempting to say "miami" from the pilot episode like goddamn. 'moiame'. If they knew her irish accent was so poo poo you'd write it out so thoroughly why not have a redo on the goddamn intro?
