Side Effects posted:I wasn't really bothered by the fact that he didn't play any songs. It is the post apocalypse, the fact that they even have a working guitar at all would be pretty rare. It's a guitar with a loving flamethrower built in, be amazed it was even pretending to be in tune.

It was a goddamn FULLY FUNCTIONAL double necked guitar+flamethrower. Quite a badass prop if you ask me.

If Coma was playing some real sick jams, I wouldn't find that terrifying. I'd be like, "Aww yeah those are some sweet jams". His weird not-music well reflected the chaos of the movie.

Sneaksie Taffer posted:Except it's incorporated into the soundtrack? What the hell are you talking about? That sounds exactly like what I expected, but I heard none of that in the theater. Whenever the camera panned past the doof wagon it was just a bit of noise and then it moved along.  https://youtu.be/EPydRKuhuEk?t=32s What you hear doesn't match what he's playing, and its just noise. There's none of the riffing from that video above in the clip from the actual movie. E: Okay he plays something audible for like one second at the last bit when the fire is blazing, and then it pans away. The drums are much clearer and more audible during the whole clip. Bad mixing I think, and bad selection of which parts of that long doof warrior song to play in the actual movie. Panfilo posted:It was a goddamn FULLY FUNCTIONAL double necked guitar+flamethrower. Quite a badass prop if you ask me. No that part was cool as gently caress, I'm 100% behind a guy on bungee cords playing a flamethrower guitar next to a Pantera style amp wall. I just didn't hear much coming out of it which was really disappointing.

Jmcrofts posted:Nah bro you can pretty clearly hear what they were going for: I dunno about "pretty clearly". Yeah you did find the right parts that match up, but listen to that second part, you can barely hear the part drowned out by everything else going on, and that's a barely second-long clip in the whole film. You hear him play again later in the film but its a similarly half-second long sound that immediately gets drowned out again. I wouldn't mind them playing some more of the audio from that first clip anytime they're panning around the whole caravan that the wagon was present in, but oh well. Great film regardless no doubt, but this is the irrationally irritating thread

I watched Predestination and I thought it was an OK movie. I'm sure the time travelling stuff isn't coherent, but that's something I usually let slide. What bothered me was The fact that they transform that woman into a man, saying that she had both male and female internal organs. Other than the prostate, men don't have internal organs that would allow for this idiocy to happen, and we know she didn't have a big pair of dangling balls before...

Until right before birth the testes are inside the body. Intersex people exist, most often with undescended testes. Heck a lot of men are born with them still inside as well, Google cryptorchidism, it's the most common genital abnormality in boys. That part isn't that far fetched.

There's basically a zero chance Testes that were kept warm for over 2 decades inside the body would be productive. I can't imagine how they could have done the story without that part, but it seemed stupid.

Neither sperm nor eggs are fully developed at birth. They start to become so probably shortly before puberty, and then are continually brought online as it were. They're basically stemcells for one or the other. There's no reason to assume that you can't get viable sperm from some gonads that have been hanging out up in the pelvis for a decade or two.

Given the way the sex works in that movie and who's involved. there's no guarantee that the main character has anything like normal human physiology in terms of longevity and how their chromosomes and genitals work. They created themselves, after all. They might not even really count as 'human'.

Snapchat A Titty posted:There's no reason to assume that you can't get viable sperm from some gonads that have been hanging out up in the pelvis for a decade or two. Yes there is. Cryptorchidism and its impact on male fertility posted:The incidence of azoospermia in unilateral cryptorchidism is 13% and this figure increases to 89% in untreated bilateral cryptorchidism, making cryptorchidism the most common etiologic factor of azoospermia in the adult. So nearly 90% of people with bilateral undescended testes will be totally and irreversibly infertile by the time they are adults. They also have a high incidence of testicular cancer.

Also, that movie has some advance tech even for the 60s so I just treated it as a "parallel but more advance"-world. My IIMM is the series Between on Netflix. It's a movie of >22 year olds behaving like people >22 years old probably would behave and every decision is pissing me (a 32 year old) off.

Bent (it's about gay men during the Holocaust) has a lot of problems but the part in it that bugged me the most was when the main character's boyfriend whines that he can't escape Berlin because he'll miss his dance classes. This is right when the Night Of The Long Knives is going on and they just saw a gay man have his throat slit by some nazis.

In fast five vince dies and tells Dom that h (Vince)e has a son named nico. Then with his dying breath he says we named him after you(Dom). A 3 second pause and Vince says "Dominic." Im pretty loving sure if Vince and Dom are close enough to name kids after each other you don't need to tell him his full ficking name to figure it out. It's not like Dom looked confused until Vince reminded him that his full name is Dominic and nico was pulled from it. Holy poo poo its pissing me off just thinking about it.

In Californication about 90% of the plot over the course of seven seasons is about David Duchovny's friends and family acting like he's a terrible person and demanding he get his act together. Except his character is specifically written as a stand up guy who is loyal to a fault, well aware of right and wrong and strives to do right even if he comes up short, and is generally a pretty drat good guy. He does get into some outlandish "whacky" situations that look bad on paper, but are for the most part very clearly not his fault and are either terrible misunderstandings or the results of someone else taking advantage of his good nature. And even when whatever hijinks he's gotten up to get inevitably explained and fixed by the end of the season his friends and family still give him poo poo. It's like the writers wanted to write a likable main character but couldn't think of a reason to make all the other characters hate him to manufacture drama so they just write every other character as an irrational fuckwit. Similarly Rescue Me has the entire cast frequently forget all the great things Tommy Gavin has done for them over the course of the show whenever it's convenient to create drama for the plot. But he does have a few insane moments of total assholery, so it's not quite as odd. But the more irrationally irritating thing is Tommy Gavin's friends and family constantly talk about how he's allegedly a raging alcoholic but he generally just sips his whiskey and goes about his day and it took six goddamn seasons for him to actually go on any kind of alcohol fueled bender. And by the time that finally happened, instead of appearing as a symptom of his alcoholism it comes off as him having to deal with his friends badgering him about his "problem" for six years until he finally got sick of it and decided he may as well actually go off on a whiskey fueled rage since he was going to get treated like he was having one regardless. The majority of the show is about Tommy Gavin battling a mostly non-existent alcohol problem for six solid years until his lovely friends actually drive him to develop a real alcohol problem.

So I watched Unfriended the other day and was most irritated that the main character waved her mouse over a link four or five times before clicking it. This to me is like having a character rattle a door handle over and over again to signal to the audience they're about to open the door and walk through. We know what the link says, we know she's going to click on it, just loving click on it! Also, The fat kid who managed to get his hand in a blender so loving fast.

From episode one his ex-girlfriend treats him like a piece of poo poo and then you find out she cheated on him with her current boyfriend. So why has she been treating him like that? Because he never ''manned up'' and ask her to marry him or some poo poo.

This is pretty much exactly what happens on Curb your enthusiasm too, except there it works because its Larry David. But overall this happens a lot in fiction and it usually drives me crazy. JUST EXPLAIN WHAT HAPPENED!  Its such a frustrating and lazy plot point when one person just won't like, explain themselves, causing tons of unnecessary drama.

IE, bitching about your classes after Mick Jagger has just mentioned they'll kill every gay guy they find and another guy getting his throat slit. Said boyfriend, if I remember right, also bitches out some Nazis for breaking his glasses. Armed Nazis. Who either beat him to death or shoot him when he whines that he can't see without his glasses.
