Snapchat A Titty posted:The only good scene in Marley & Me is when Owen Wilson takes Marley out back and double-triggers a shotgun on him. It's a super intense scene, esp. with the lingering shot on the blown out brains. Yeah but I feel like the sex scene between Owen Wilson and Jennifer Aniston on Marley's corpse immediately afterwards was a little too art house.

Killing the puppies seemed like just more Hollywood bullshit though. I mean we get it you murdered 6 puppies in one take, yay for you.

They'd gone through so much with that damned mutt and so it was a fitting farewell to get their bone on ontop of Marley. A sendoff of sorts to Marley and also to the real dog they kiled during filming.

I think ER actually had real medical personnel as advisors. Nowadays, they just stuff a scene with whatever equipment they have the budget to rent and flesh out their scripts using a generic poster covered with random bits of medical jargon they toss darts at. Like how in Star Trek the scripts had "technobabble" or whatever it was whenever the script called for reversing the polarity of the deflector array's warp core's trilithium crystals and they'd just fill it in later.

My irrationally irritating moment inThe Martian is that he complains about only having disco music to listen to because a) disco is good gently caress you and b) why didn't he take his own music I mean one extra sd card wouldn't have added that much weight to the mission. And also that Sean Bean resigned instead of burying Jeff Daniels for skipping the safety checks, though I guess he may have received a large severance payoff or something

I thought they skipped the safety checks on purpose in order to not delay the mission, since keeping him alive was more important?. They made it out like he was being a total bro and was taking the bullet so they could keep working to save Matt Damon.

But that's a valid question for a new doctor to ask? Tylenol is actually moderately dangerous at not that much higher levels than its usually used, and various ailments can cause Tylenol to be a much bigger problem especially over a period of time.

It costs approximately four gazillion dollars to send poo poo into space and literally every ounce of a spacecraft's payload costs tens of thousands of dollars in fuel and calculations. If something had gone wrong on Mars and all six crewmen were trapped past the launch window they'd be hosed, NASA wouldn't send extra food so they could sit around for four weeks longer pondering their impending doom.

The extra food would be for a situation like a massive storm delaying their departure by a few weeks. It's to cover situations where they're stuck on the surface of mars longer than expected, in most scenarios they'd still have the ship in orbit to get home. Damon only had to hold out as long as he did because the ship had already hosed off back to Earth which wouldn't be the case if the whole crew were stuck on the surface.

My IMM is basically how almost every action hero is ridiculously in shape while living on a really crap diet and never exercising. It's one of the reasons I liked Michael Douglas in Romancing the Stone. He looks like a guy with a moderate amount of muscle without being some chiseled greek god.

There was a longer opening for a few episodes at the start of the second season, but they went back to the original for some reason.

He could have come forward with a bunch of dirt out of spite but that would just be ruining his own future career prospects to embarrass Nasa, it wouldn't save his job. The movie didn't do much with it so it's really more related to the book. The book has a lot more NASA shenanigans playing out and I was very happy that they glossed over it in the movie. Sean Beans position that the crew should make the decision to go back or not is obviously idiotic in a real world setting. No, no they shouldn't. That's what the huge team of experts and fancy job titles on Earth is for. In the book they ask him what happens if it fails and they die horribly and he literally goes "Oh well it was their decision". No, gently caress you, you don't get to goad people into a high risk scenario and then just absolve yourself of guilt. Like let's say it was a grunt lost behind enemy lines in Afghanistan or whatever. There's only one squad available to get them and the generals decide it's too dangerous to risk it. Then an officer decides to give the location and route to the squad and goes "Well I'm not saying you should go get your friend but this is where he is and that's how you get him. If you go and all die then that was a decision you made nothing to do with me lol" gently caress. You.

Solenna posted:Yeah that drives me insane too. It's hard work getting a six pack, it takes a lot of exercise and diet to get there. If a character has chiseled abs, it should say something about them, not just be the default setting. Movies like Die Hard and Blade Runner would have been worse if their main characters were all built like Chris Hemsworth playing Thor because it would be dumb and not make sense. Guardians of the Galaxy having Star Lord be loving ripped was (while nice to look at) nonsense for a manchild like he was. Space-roids? And really Chris Pratt had some muscle and very little definition except for being dehydrated for that prison shower scene, so not totally implausible for his character. Paul Rudd's abs-only physique for Ant-Man actually worked against his characterisation though

It had Arnold at the tail end of that part of his career, but he still had the frame of a body builder so what'cha gonna do to explain how he looks like that while being the schlubbiest schlub who ever schlubbed? You have a scene where he just dumps everything even half-edible in his apartment into the blender and drinks that poo poo. A quality diet that helps you maintain your action hero physique.

I'm really glad that fan campaign to get a third punisher film off the ground with Tom Jane in it failed.Also, is it just me or are most of the cast in that really struggling with their accents? Jimmy McNulty especially sounds like something out of Top Cat but maybe I've just got no idea of what a New Yorker sounds like and he was doing stellar work.

As long as we don't dial it back to those bad old days when you're all 'Oh wow Cary Grant is such a dish in that nice suit' and then he takes his shirt off and although he isnt in bad shape there is still a little flacidity to his mantits and those arms looks a little noodly. Or maybe I'm thinking of James Stewart.

In the Underworld series, do they ever explain why the Vampire lords go into hibernation? They're immortal, so it's not like they're gonna die of old age. Not only do at least two of the three get relegated to being stuffed under the throne room at any given time, but they even seem to have 'gaps' where all three are down there. This seems dumb and gives plot convenient reasons on incompetent underlings getting up to poo poo while the boss is asleep. They're not only immortal but seem to follow the 'Really old vampires are the strongest' rule so I don't see why they don't all just stay awake all the time.

Dunno about Underworld in particular, but in a lot of vampire stories they basically get more powerful as they age, but they reach a point where they start having to sleep more and more, so a millennia-old vampire is incredibly powerful when he's awake, but he sleeps for hundreds of years at a time. It's basically a plot device to allow for an unimaginably powerful bad guy without raising the question of why he hasn't already taken over the world.
