I had tears in my eyes it was so poorly cut together. Like yeah she's a monster but you didn't know that when she said a baby would burn. Dimentia exists. Nobody gave this old lady the benefit of the doubt or pity or anything it was get the shotguns from under the bar and shoot her. Eh, that was in the middle of the loving apocalypse, so maybe its kinda fair to assume she's a demon and not just having dementia.  You're forgetting that this is a post "apocalypse exists" world. Shoot first and ask questions later.I think that screenshot actually looks pretty creepy. It was supposed to be unexpected that the old lady is actually evil, and the reveal with her kinda mutating her body dimensions is pretty freaky. You might just be desensitized to horror or something. Old ladies can be very scary

She said much worse stuff in the actual movie, even dropping an f-bomb, but it was still unintentionally hilarious. The entire movie was to be honest. I recommend it if you are drunk. Angels spinning around to deflect bullets with their wings, people blatantly ignoring the advice that a freaking angel of God just gave. You know how it is going to end after the first 15 minutes. Edit: Huh. The SyFy show Dominion is a sequel to this movie set 25 years later.

Oh the vampires from I am Legend: I feel like in 20 movies around that time they had some cgi tricks they threw into every monsterface movie but the uncanny valley made them stand out as really goofy looking.

Like Aleph Null said, it was ALL the MMORPGs which is patently insane. NCIS or CSI (I don't know the loving difference) is definitely the worst. In addition to the "two idiots one keyboard" scene, they also chased furries live through second life while using some kind of projector screen contraption. Because their ability to track the perp required them to be physically close to him in second life, because.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nTI0ovUMnyE Hahahahaha look at all that HTML "computer code" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QZboyfaVLM4 Zaphod42 has a new favorite as of 23:17 on Jun 23, 2015 |

Krinkle posted:I hate any vampire movie after blade where they decided fangs aren't scary, cgi tall mouths are scary, so every vampire opens their mouth and their jaw drops a full foot making them look like count loving chocula, a goddamn cartoon, and deflating the tension. The first instance of CGI tallmouth that I'm aware of happened in The Mummy with Brendan Frasier. The mummy does it whenever he sucks the life force from someone or yells in his scary monster voice. His is jaw is hanging unevenly with tattered flesh, so it looked okay. The mummy regenerates throughout the movie, and the mouth is the last thing to be restored. At the end, he's fully regenerated, and right before they read the incantation that de-powers him, he starts to do the tallmouth and it's goofy as hell.

In Braveheart, during the last climactic battle, Longshanks says, "Arrows cost money, the dead cost nothing" opting to send the Irish conscripts to deal with Wallace and the Scots instead of pelting them with arrows. But then later, when its clear Wallace is Borked since the other Scottish nobles hightailed it, he tells his Captain to fire arrows at them in spite of hitting his own guys "we have reserves" Now I get this is supposed to show how ruthless Longshanks is, that he's willing to win decisively no matter the cost, but it bugged me that he makes this issue of how they'll somehow save money by not shooting arrows at the Scots, only to do so later anyway.

So in Jurassic World, Chris Pratt's character carries around a Marlin lever-action rifle: I wasn't paying attention, but my more gun-interested friend brought it up after the movie: as far as she could tell, Pratt's character never actually uses the lever-action, he just shoots it like it's a semi-automatic. Also, I'd love to see a movie with big monsters or something like dinosaurs when guns actually do...anything. Every movie I see like this, it's like they're firing spitballs, even when there's like two dozen people shooting at a target.

To be fair, if you are about 3 stories tall, all a .45 bullet is gonna do is annoy you. I was more irritated that they didn't have the guys in Jurassic World carrying around Barrett .50 cal sniper rifles or something instead that would actually, you know, cause damage to a dino. Re: Tall mouth syndrome - It started invading things since it showed up in the Mummy. It's pants on head retarded every god damned time it shows up, be it a spooky ghostie or a vamp or whatever.

Morpheus posted:So in Jurassic World, Chris Pratt's character carries around a Marlin lever-action rifle: I know a couple of things about guns but maybe take this to the internet movie firearms database because it is hell of boring. That came off kinda rude. But you know that's a thing right? Everyone hates the constant "menacing cocking" of firearms but there is a place for this. The gun forum here is also quite good. I don't even know what I'm saying here. I'm sad and depressed. The thing about giant beasties not giving a single gently caress about your gun is still awesome though because a bear or a moose or a hippo is probably going to laugh at you while you die if you don't have artillery.

Panfilo posted:In Braveheart, during the last climactic battle, Longshanks says, "Arrows cost money, the dead cost nothing" opting to send the Irish conscripts to deal with Wallace and the Scots instead of pelting them with arrows. Not to mention that they're worried about the cost-effectiveness of arrows one minute but then the next they don't even care about sacrificing their own men?! Equipping and paying those men is more expensive than some bloody arrows. Although back then there was no health insurance so maybe if you died in the King's service you just didn't get paid and he told your family to go gently caress themselves or something, so it was actually cost-effective to lose as many men as possible? Morpheus posted:So in Jurassic World, Chris Pratt's character carries around a Marlin lever-action rifle: Like others have said small caliber fire does very little to things like Elephants, so I would imagine a big T-Rex could actually realistically take rifle rounds and barely feel it. But knowing that its really stupid that his character wouldn't take a loving elephant gun with him, or better yet a Barrett like stupid_sexy_flanders suggested or even an RPG. Big game hunters even use calibers in excess of .50 sometimes.

The way I see it, if you fire a, say, bb at me, it's going to sting, and I can probably shrug off a lot of them without being too worried. If you are firing a machine gun of bb pellets at me, and there's thirty of you, eventually skin is going to break and I am going to hurt...I would think. Not an experiment that I want to try. Anyway, the other thing that bugged me was how smooth Pratt's motocycle was. On that terrain it should've been bumping all over the place, he wouldn't be able to sit down for a comfy ride.

Lamprey Cannon posted:Counterpoint: Just watched this - it's a very nicely done piece of horror, escalated to absolute bollock-clenching by how often I expected that gif to crop up. It does however lead me into another Irrational movie moment: Unnecessary stingers. Every drat horror film seems to have this. Blood is shed, lives are split asunder, but eventually evil is defeated at some great cost. But instead of ending quietly and letting the audience process all the emotions of whatever hosed up nightmare scenario they've just lived through, the film will give you a hand clawing out the ground, or zoom in on a clutch of mutant eggs, or a possessed child, or a second evil book. It completely punctures the ending for a very limp almost-scare. Also, physiology complaint: what the gently caress is a ten year old leukemia patient doing having a period?
