My Lovely Horse posted:I did feel like the reactions were a bit too shocked and panicky for the context of the scene, come to think of it. You know, now that I think about it more, you're not wrong. It's the only moment in the movie where Daisy seems fazed in any way by Ruth's casual violence/rudeness towards her.

How can a protocol droid forget how to address a general repeatedly in the same scene. Robot Alzheimer's? It's his primary function ffs

Movies with terrible sound design/balance and the trend for.. I'm not sure what to call them, aural or throbbing kinda sound tracks? The latest offender was Sicaro, the dialogue was super quiet while the tension building doomy soundtrack in other scenes was obnoxiously loud. My fault for trying to watch it on an airplane but I couldn't hear people talk without turning the volume up enough for the scene changes and soundtrack to blow out my eardrums. Had to give up on it not even halfway through.

I think in some cases its the surround>stereo mix that gets hosed up. Obvs I can't speak for your setups, but I only have stereo, and my parents have surround, and I've noticed that the literal same version of a movie will sound much better on their system than mine re voice vs. music.

Judging a movie based on airplane audio,  Sicario was amazing as a soundtrack, and the mixing was great.

BUT. On the same flight I also watched The Martian and Spectre just fine so I'm happy to level some grief at the movie itself, and this annoying fuckin trend in general.

For a while I especially noticed it watching Blu-Rays as opposed to DVDs. Always meant to check if the sound on BRs is (generally) in another format.

In Predators they show that Adrien Brody is a natural leader by having him tell the others to reload their weapons after a fight. So they're all supposed to be the raddest baddest killerz on the planet, but they're all too stupid to reload?

It's possible that those guys were put enough out of sorts by being ripped from their homeworld and thrown into a totally alien environment with just a handful of strangers while being beset by crazy rear end alien wildlife that they'd forget to do some basic actions and routines, yes. They're not beep boop battle bots.

Actually, the movie takes pains to remind you that they are all murderous battle bots who should be able to handle the easiest part of using a gun.

The movie also takes pains to remind you that Adrien Brody is all but a natural leader because he goes "gently caress y'all, I'm out of here and if you want to follow me that's your problem" every 5 minutes. The movie is much better when you view it as "Inexplicably-cast-as-actionhero Adrien Brody saddled with a bunch of idiots, also Predators."

I watched Maze Runner and Scorch Trials recently, and while it's an enjoyable dystopian-future action romp, the basic premise seemed to make no sense at all (maybe it's explained better in the books, or will be in the third film). So the Sun burnt the Earth and the survivors are all dying of a terrible virus, but some teenagers seem to be immune? Let's spend trillions on gigantic mechanised death-mazes filled with insane cyborg monsters, wipe their memories and try to violently murder them! That's easier than, like, medical research into the virus, right?

I was reading some comments on AV Club article and someone brought up a good point about Terminator 2. Why the gently caress did John Conner send back the exact same looking loving terminator knowing full well it would scare the ever loving poo poo out of Sarah? Terminator and time travel movies are sort of low hanging fruit, I realize, but aside from "It has to star Arnold" was that ever explained?

They only had rubber skin Ahnold, and human tissue Ahnold before they went with Robert Patbot and Tittybot 5000. If they had some ins with 80s era WWF they could have sent Andre le Giant in holocaust cloak bot and everyone would have just surrendered.

The Arnold Terminators are specifically T-800 series 101s, and that was the only model of T-800 on-site at the time displacement facility. A more questionable thing is why the Terminator refers to itself as a Cyberdyne Systems model. By the time it was made Cyberdyne Systems had been destroyed, and why would a robot designed to exterminate humanity associate itself with a human company anyway?

Look, when you're fighting a guerrilla war against an unstoppable robot army, you take what you can get. It's not like John can pop down to Walmart and browse from a wide variety of flesh-covered robot supersoldiers. He sent back the same variant that originally went after Sarah because that's the one he had.

I'm watching Cabin in the woods. I got annoyed by the jump scare at the beginning, where the loving title of the movie comes up. That's cheating. You can't just interrupt inane dialog with a scream and the title card for no reason. Other than that, so far it's alright. Evil dead meets the cube.
