I'm in Supernatural season 7. By this point both Winchesters have been to Hell, discovered angels and dragons exist, fended off the apocalypse, seen purgatory opened, and opened purgatory. But the Jersey Devil? That can't possibly exist!

Everybody probably knows this by now but the scene in T2 where Arnold is getting his head operated on actually involves a false mirror and takes advantage of Linda Hamilton's twin sister in order to pull off the illusion that its actually Arnold's head being cut open. Arnold and Linda's sister are in a double of the scene behind the "mirror" while Linda and a dummy Arnold are in the foreground. That really blew my mind when I read about it and I had to go watch the scene a couple more times to see. I really love practical effects tricks like that, before everybody just started filling gaps with CG.

Yeah practical effects trump CG effects any day of the week. When directors get lazy and stop caring about practical effects it can be awful, though. Zack Snyder, for example, sucks poo poo. Check out his use of the same mirror trick from T2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m_IemarLt5c Watch the foreground actresses' movements and how they do not sync up at all with the billed actresses' movements. It's so egregious that I am momentarily amazed it made it into the final cut, then I remember how bad the rest of the movie is. Edit: watching it again I see this is a combination of practical and digital effects, which makes the un-synced movements even more embarrassing

Sam is talking about the monster of the week being an angel but Dean just refuses to entertain the idea. "I ONLY BELIEVE IN THINGS IVE SEEN SAM" they've literally seen a door to hell opened and have been fighting demons but AN ANGEL? THAT CAN'T EXIST. NO.

Kind of like in Smallville, where characters seemed to regularly get possessed by evil aliens/demons/artificial intelligences but nobody spots the pattern. Hmm... Clark is acting a bit strange today, don't you think? What? Nah, he's fine. Just a bit cranky. You don't think maybe he might be possessed again? Don't be silly, he probably just slept badly. *Superman goes bananas and starts tearing poo poo up* Oh my god, who'da thunk it?

Van Dis posted:Yeah practical effects trump CG effects any day of the week. That's way false. Good CGI and good practical are impossible to pick out from real life. You (the general you) just only notice the bad examples. There's plenty of examples of horrid CGI and horrid practical effects. I'll agree that even when a practical effect is pure poo poo, it does still have that physicality that a pure trash bullshit CGI won't have. But that's really the only difference. The rest is just budget & effort.

Part of the reason the Spino vs T. rex fight in Jurassic Park 3 is short is they were bashing the models together and the rex's head broke off.

Well, honestly, if the door to hell's been opened and demons are walking the Earth and still no angels showed up to deal with the situation, it's not unreasonable to conclude that they don't exist.

In Goldeneye (1995) Bond seems to become literally retarded in one scene. Part of the appeal of Bond is that he's a ladies man and sexy and blah blah blah. But Bond meets Onatopp in a bath house because she's part of a criminal syndicate. Bond already found a corpse that she's responsible for, he knows she's a murderer, she's a terrorist and she's one of the most wanted people in the world. He has her at gunpoint but she just walks up to him and starts kissing him and he tosses the gun away. Then they fight and he keeps nonchalantly turning his back to her and she keeps attacking. It's like this one scene turns Bond into a mongoloid idiot because his dick gets hard. He's just the worst spy in the world for this scene and I don't know how it paints Bond as anything but a moron.

Another Daredevil IIMM related to weapons: sai are not used like a pair of knives. They're a percussive and stabbing weapon, not for slicing. Humorously enough, one of the most accurate portrayals of sai usage is in the first live action TMNT movie.

So in Goldeneye (1995) at the end Bond and the girl set down in Cuba in a deserted little meadow and start making out. Bond says there's no within 25 miles so they can bone. Immediately after a cia agent shows up and says hi. Then he calls out for marines and 20 marines surrounding them come out of camo. Also 3 helicopters immediately come into camera view. How did bond land right where the marines were? If the world was at stake, why are all these marines laying in the grass instead of going to help fight the villain? Three helicopters are flying like 20 feet above bond loud as gently caress and neither bond nor the girl notice them. ARGH

Not to be a pedant but there are stabbing and slashing sais. You could still slash someone with a stiletto sai but the margin of error is so thin that you shouldn't try.

Sam is talking about the monster of the week being an angel but Dean just refuses to entertain the idea. One thing I liked about the X-Files is that although Scully is the scientifically minded sceptic doctor she's also religious while conspiracy theorist Mulder is an atheist who believes in literally everything supernatural and paranormal except if it if it's connected to religion. He has no problem accepting lake monsters, werewolves, vampires, golems, gargoyles, gremlins, aliens, fairies, Fiji Mermaids and what not but the very idea that a mystery might have a divine cause is just silly to him. I mean admitedly he has actually met vampires more than once and seen his fair share of aliens but never actually seen a God. Though I'm pretty sure Millennium, which takes place in the same universe as the X-Files and even had a crossover episode, had angels and demons and poo poo in it.

Hmm, are there? I've never seen a pair, and I've been in and out of martial arts for 20ish years. Of course, that doesn't mean they don't exist. It looked like hers were standard sai, but she kept slashing with them. Although on the last couple of episodes she pretty much just went stab crazy with em.

It's not like it'd be all that hard to make. Just pound the roundy parts flat and bing bong bing you got yourself a real slicey-stabby piece of work on your hands.

Several times in the Daredevil show, both seasons, they make a point of showing Matt can hear people's heartbeats down to a point he can tell if they're lying. That's his whole shtick, he can hear REALLY well. How the hell did he not hear Elektra sitting in his apartment right when he walked in?

Inzombiac posted:I haven't seen season 2 yet but are they going full-bore with The Ronin? It depends on who the writer and artist is. She's used both, sometimes she has a double sided sai, with a cutting blade on it (and like.. sharp razors back in the 90s.) The striking Sai are more popular, and more available to be referenced for art and what more people think about.
