My local theater has started packing itself with these christian movies that are taking up multiple theaters and limiting the amount of screenings of other movies. It probably earns them money but it's irritating nonetheless. As for something less whiny, scenes where someone shuts down another person by predicting where the conversation is going or what they're going to do. It's usually used to show how intelligent or skilled someone is but it always seems a little cheesy to.

In It Follows, (not spoilering because it was in the trailer) what was the entity doing standing on the roof of the house when the group pulled out of the driveway? Like, how did it even get up there?

Like, how did it even get up there? I wondered the same thing. Honestly I enjoyed the movie but there were so many irritating things - what was with the hair pulling? Why was their plan at the pool so terrible? Why can it move quickly sometimes but other times is really slow? Why didn't they just fly back and forth between Europe every year or two?

But the boy at the end should have slept with a hooker near the airport. A hooker would generally be the best person to sleep with but especially one who sleeps with people flying around the world. Get the demon thing on another continent, if it ever catches up with the Joe the hooker will just sleep with someone else before it ever gets back to Detroit.

Grendels Dad posted:I like that in more recent comics they have picked up on this, like there is a guy whose power is that he has eyes all over his body and I think he even has a few sour conversations with mutants who look like supermodels and have bothersome powers such as "controls the weather." Or that kid in the comic pages posted I think earlier in this thread, where his mutant power was that he killed all life that came close to him. The one where Wolverine is sent to put the kid down, because his power was just so horrific, and the kid himself was broken over all the death he had accidentally caused.

Panfilo posted:Saw The Martian today. Overall I really enjoyed it, but some parts bugged me a little: From a few pages back, but Ridley Scott said he knew gravity would be different, but didn't feel like it would add anything to make it accurate, and it would be a big pain in the rear end to do.

Oddly enough, my irrationally irritating moment from The Martian was when they were trying to simulate weightlessness on the ship. I guess Gravity spoiled me when it comes to people moving about in space.

Like, how did it even get up there? It is standing on the roof because the thought of It having been up there the whole time, just waiting, is spooky. The rule of Spook. The whole movie does have a sort of dream like quality to it so itŽs best to just go with the flow.

If it were me I'd just fly to Australia, live there for a year, then fly back and repeat. Walking across the pacific ocean is quite a trek.

I like the idea of the It Follows world being identical to our own in every way, except for the killer entity and the verifiable existence of Spider-Man.

Esroc posted:Agents of SHIELD is once again pushing a "powers are a curse!" storyline. As if there's a human alive who wouldn't be stoked to have badass superpowers. One really good example I saw of this was a story about a girl that had super healing powers. She was loved throughout the world, but she had to accept that every time she slept in late or watched a movie, 50 people would die because she wasn't in a hospital around the clock saving people.

Weren't they in the girl's bedroom (which is on the second floor)? I remember the impression I got when watching that scene was "if they hadn't started driving away, it would have come through the window and gotten them".

Another irrationally irritating thing to me is when someone is in the hospital and hooked up to a heart monitor and it's a steady BEEP BEEP BEEP but then they get shocked/surprised/emotional/etc and the heart rate never varies.

Along those lines, just once I'd like to see someone using the defibrillator on someone whose heart hasn't flat-lined, but is instead in fibrillation like it's actually used for.

House was usually pretty good about saying whoever they're shocking was in V-Fib at least. And they'd push adenosine for a lot of stuff you'd realistically try to chemically cardiovert.

I marathoned ER, all 8 seasons (on netflix anyway) to count how many times they defib'd flatlnes. Answer: Two, both were cast members who were dying, both times other doctors yelled at them for trying, neither time worked

You should watch the Evil Dead remake. In the original film there is a creepy room in the basement where animal bones have been hung from the ceiling by strings in an apperent homage to the Texas Chainsaw Massacre. In the remake those bones have been replaced by dead cats.
