Arrath posted:Yeah, seriously the tension building was great. It was all "okay who is this John Wick guy everyone is scared shitless of him' The way the police officer makes a show of releasing his weapon really sells the caution.. Also, the fact that the russian kid has to flip the surveillance camera off to get in, John just walks in and is immediately server a whole bar .

Clerks 2 was on, and I was too lazy to get up and get the remote. Film bad. But the irrationally irritating things- when they leave to go go karting and then they come back Rosario Dawson is all WAHHGHHGHGHGHG GUYS WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN WE'RE SO BUSY and there's 4 people at the counter. I used to work in a burger place, 4 people at the counter is absolutely nothing. Fuckin' Kevin Smith no idea lazy man. Also when Dante goes to punch Randall and hits the drive-thru thing, he's all "YOU DUCKED?" and Randall's all "BECAUSE YOU SWUNG AT ME!" except Randall didn't actually duck. Also she apparently got mayo on her cooch from having sex on a prep station after hours. Who the gently caress still has mayo on their prep station after closing time? Lazy rear end motherfuckers.

This is the sequel to a movie that spent several minutes arguing about contractors working on the death star. You really shouldn't take it that seriously. It was a dumb movie and not as good as the first, but the whole thing is just a set-up for dumb jokes and it worked okay for that. But fair enough I guess.

Been re-binge-watching Fringe because show good, and there's a ton that I could theoretically bitch about but don't for the sake of Dumb Sci Fi Show Science. What did bother me though was that the "cartoon" versions of Belly/Walter/Peter in the LSD episode look nothing like the real actors despite being clearly designed to look  e: remembered word TheKennedys has a new favorite as of 02:09 on Feb 20, 2016 |

That entire episode was animated mostly because Leonard Nimoy was on death's door so they couldn't have him do any actual action stuff, so even if it was kind of cheap and ugly I can understand why they did it. I'm more pissed that the whole "that's the man who will kill me" thing never actually amounted to anything, even though they went to the trouble of casting an established German actor for what amounted to like two lines.

Inside Out was loving awesome. And after you watch it a few times, it's clear that Joy is hurting Riley by always being in charge, keeping her a Stepford Smiler and acting like few things actually upset her. Like moving. Losing her best friend. New school. If Sadness had been left behind or forgotten while Joy got back okay, Riley would have ended up one of those people who has no loving social skills, who would have dealt with someone crying at a funeral by trying to tickle them. Hell, I read a theory on the evolution of tears, that it was a nonverbal way to communicate pain and suffering to others for help. Riley isn't allowed to be sad, ever, even when she's clearly not doing good. But whoever greenlit The Good Dinosaur, they can lose all Joy and Sadness. Seriously, the gently caress kind of movie was that? Land Before Time mashed shittily with Lion King?

Fringe made it difficult to progress in the first season because the first few episodes decided real science was worth skimping on in favour of the pseudo science. An explosion that knocked her flying made the other agent who was much closer to the origin of the blast slowly crystallize due to the pseudo science chemicals? He gets not a scratch on him but she's nearly concussed and conversely she somehow does not start to crystallize either. Accelerated aging disease creates matter out of nothing so a baby that is c-sectioned out grows and dies as an 80-year old man (with the height and weight increase that entails) within minutes. The season got better about tossing out reality or at least occluding it with the pseudo-science of the episode, but I don't think the show is for me.

Fringe had a cool overarching plot in the background and it was exciting when it came to the forefront but in between all that was a bunch of stupid poo poo about recreating images from dead corneas and using LSD to merge minds with your comatose partner. I should finish the series, I left off somewhere around when the main woman gets trapped in the other dimension and brainwashed by Evil Walt. I do like that they gave him a drat good reason to be evil, though.

You can kill Wick and everyone he loved. He's clearly a bad person and perhaps his wife forgave him, but she knew that he was bad. The dog did nothing wrong.

It felt like it should have ended at the end of S4 when they stopped the universes from shattering but nooooooo, had to keep going and make the Observers evil or some poo poo and it just stopped working for me. fe: also real-universe Olivia is a cardboard cutout and I would totally rather watch a paranormal cop procedural about Fauxlivia and Alt-Linc or The Walter/Peter/Astrid Show

This reminds me, what the gently caress is Astrid's actual job? Doesn't she come to the lab with Olivia as a cop in the pilot and then end up as a lab tech/babysitter with almost no comment or am I misremembering that entirely?

Eh! Frank posted:I just watched "Inside Out", and I had a longer post written out, but it got a bit E/N, so I'll just sum it up in one sentence: it is completely irritating to me (irrationally so) that the climactic message of the movie seems to be "Sadness is not merely a depressingly normal part of life that can fortunately be dealt with, but rather Sadness is IMPORTANT and the emotion should get free reign of your mental state at times, and all of the happy memories that make up your core personality should be tinged with Sadness in order to be a functioning human being!" As somebody who has been fighting depression for years, I say gently caress that, Sadness should have been thrown off of the cliff. I saw this more as a herbert style you can't have X with out Y or how would you know what X is !? X and y being happy and sad

You're not missing much. Personally, I think it should have stopped a couple seasons earlier, after they reset the universe, which is just such a lazy plot device.

For Deadpool, I dunno if I need to spoiler this since it's something NOT happening, but he never uses those little punch daggers he has on the chest harness. THEY ARE RIGHT loving THERE. It's like they took all the time to make it all special and have these little daggers in the costume, but when the movie was being shot, NOPE. Never gonna touch em. For spoileriffic parts of Deadpool : I was kinda mad they made him a mutant, but I guess that was easier to explain than "We can cure cancer but only if you want to go kill people for us". I really do wish they'd have gone the route of him looking hosed up from him blowing up the tank to escape, instead of just "Oh, snap. Your mutant gene kicked in and you look like the inside of Richard Simmon's rear end in a top hat". Have him headbutt Angel, get the match, blow up the tank, and have THAT be the kickoff for the stress to set up the scarring. It'd at least make sense that "Oh yea, he was unscarred, then he blew the gently caress up and caught on fire, and his mutation kicked in, and now he's all hosed up looking from healing his horribly burnt body". That annoyed me. Damned good movie though. I really enjoyed it, except for those irrational bitchpoints.

I can't really remember as I only saw it opening weekend. But I'm pretty sure that he wasn't a mutant, they were just trying to induce that gene into him to force him to mutate. He's not a mutant in the comics, he just gets his healing powers from Wolverine's genes. While they don't say Wolverine's name in the movie, I figured it was something very similar. His skin getting hosed up was because his cancer is now his healing ability. The tumors just keep rebuilding and keeping his body in a (hosed up) good condition.

Ajax specifically says that the serum is to activate any latent mutant genes. So he's an inactivated mutant at the start and I'm okay with that since they can't use Wolverine or weapon X. This will help make Vanessa into Copycat in the next movie, hopefully.

Not something about the movie itself, but I went to see Deadpool today, and about 75% of the audience started leaving during the credits - like they'd never seen a super hero movie before. The post-credits scene was funny, why would you walk out without watching it?

Because people are busy and need to get on with their important lives! It's the same reason why some people get up and leave early from sports events or concerts or any kind of event really. Gotta beat the rush so you can be first out the door and first to the parking lot so you can be first in traffic, because then you're winning! As if 5 measly minutes could ever make that much of a difference. And if they did, you probably shouldn't be spending your time watching movies or going to concerts anyway.
