When I was a teenager, my copy of Die Hard was recorded off ITV and the dubbing was atrocious. The guy doing it sounded like Yogi Bear and it contained the amazingly inconsistent line "No no no, you stupid motherflipper! Turn the loving truck around!"

The worst Die Hard censorship is how they made the fourth one just PG-13 so he doesn't even say it in the theatrical version. It's just "yippie ki yay mother *gunshot*"

Esroc posted:TV shows with theme music an order of magnitude louder than the general dialogue volume. I'll be trying to watch an episode in the middle of the night while everyone is asleep and the opening is a reasonable volume, then the theme starts and suddenly I'm front stage at a live concert and smacking the volume down button like it dispenses money, only for it to drop the volume back down afterwards forcing me to turn the volume up again. Check your sound settings and see if there is an "apartment setting". My tv has one and it makes all the volume levels equal so no sudden spikes in volume.

When a villain "dies" 45 minutes into the movie, but they never show the body. Immediately afterwards every character has to comment, "He's dead. Finally!" and if anyone doubts the death is permanent, 3 or 4 other characters will make sure to comment, "Don't worry, he's dead and NEVER COMING BACK." Is anyone in the audience fooled by this? Are these scenes there just to show us that our plucky hero is the only one who can see the truth? Why?

When the shapeshifter looks at the camera and turns back to his/her real form for no reason when the other characters leave the scene. It's like, Get it, you guys? I'm a shapeshifter!

Not to mention the backwards logic of movie injuries. Real Life: Someone hit hard enough in the head to be knocked out for hours is probably dead or suffering from severe brain damage. Movie: Single punches can knock people out for hours and everyone wakes up later from a light nap. Real Life: Being shot in the chest multiple times and left on the ground will result in the person bleeding out or dying from shock 90% of the time. Movie: If you are shot anywhere but the head, you can just walk it off by yourself.

Ignite Memories posted:When the shapeshifter looks at the camera and turns back to his/her real form for no reason when the other characters leave the scene. They do this a few times in the X-Men movies. Mystique changes back to her very noticeable blue form as soon as she passes the security guard or whoever it is she needs to get by. I remember in one of the movies she breaks into some place by posing as someone else, then there's supposed to be a tense "Will she get caught?!" moment because instead of staying as whoever she's posing as she has changed back for no reason.

The villain wasn't dead stuff is just one of those annoying clichés we'll never get rid of albeit a much more annoying one as it has no catharsis. Knowing the leads will have a romantic sub-plot or w/e has emotional catharsis if done well or even decently. Villains 'dying' is never convincing and as such never has any weight.

Leon Trotsky 2012 posted:I also wonder where movie characters buy those L-Shaped sheets that people lay in immediately after having sex. Somehow James Bond's side of the sheet goes all the way down to 1cm above his pubes, but the exotic she-devil to his left has the exact same sheet up to her collarbone. Uhhh...it's a sheet. Made of thin fabric. It's very easy to get it to do that.

After the hero leaves they crawl out of the room and call an ambulance for everyone else. This is basically what happened in Arrow season one. When he'd shoot minions with an arrow they'd go down and stay down like they were dead, but then there's a scene in a later episode where they give his body count as much lower and mention a whole lot of guys put in the hospital.

BrigadierSensible posted:Another reason is I heard that planes really don't want you thinking about flying/possibly crashing whilst you are up in the air. So they usually won't show any films to do with explosions/hijackings/air-rage etc. I was on a flight once where they played the movie Knowing with Nic Cage. It has a scene in it where a plane crashes into a highway in a very graphic way. This was played on all the monitors of the flight. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sPdwCnwuZ8w Hilarious.

Like was that poo poo always there, kinda seems a little unsafe, and if it wasn't then that seemed like an awful lot of masterplanning to get done in the middle of a war? And where did the completely unexplained "mutts" come from, they were clearly just eyeless vampires from I Am Legend.

Not sure how irrational this is but I recently watched 3:10 To Yuma (the Christian Bale & Russel Crowe one) and it irritated me how, when holding Crowe prisoner, they never tied or cuffed his hands behind his back. I don't know if it's meant to illustrate that people were dumber in cowboy times but he manages to murder two of his captors and nobody thinks "Gee, maybe we should stop him from being able to do that".

They kinda mention that they can do all kinds of freaky forced mutations, between those and the tracker jackers. In the book the mutts in the first one are actually the reanimated, monsterized corpses of the tributes that had died already, pretty sure.

I really love Battle Royale so I've just never been able to get over how extremely similar but dumber every aspect of Hunger Games is. Not that Battle Royale is like the smartest poo poo ever written or anything, but it has really good characters and great pacing and tension.
