Just to keep on with the Supernatural chat, one of my favorite goofy details is that one of the main antagonists became a demon apparently because he sold his soul to satan so he could have a bigger dick. Unless they changed that in one of the later seasons I haven't watched yet. I like the first explanation more though. EDIT: And to keep this post on topic; more than anything CGI that doesn't have proper weight and momentum to it drives me nuts. It kind of bothers me when people call bad CGI "videogamey" too because a lot of games do factor in things like weight and impact now, low effort poo poo is just low effort poo poo no matter the medium.

He and his son (resurrected) have this exchange: Son: "You sold your soul for what, an extra three inches?!" Crowley: "I was going for double-digits." Supernatural is a dumb show and I love it.

An extra three inches and King of Hell? Sounds like the devil got the shaft on this one.

He wasn't the King of Hell originally but he ended up taking the position once Lucifer got locked in his box again. Crowley is the longest lasting antagonist and one of the least retarded characters on the show.

My least favorite part of Supernatural is Lucifer killing Kali, Ganesh, Baldur, Odin, Mercury, Baron Samedi, with Zhao Sen killed by Dean. Even the Christian bad guys can single handedly take out a bunch of gods from other cultures. And the Trickers, turns out to be Loki, who turns out to be Gabriel the Archangel. The Trickster episodes were my favorites, it just a silly, weird bad guy. Also, that apparently Russian witches really like towns with Monorails. (Brockway, Ogedenville and North Haverbrook) Though, I do like the fact that it's constantly pointed out repeatedly to them in the horrible fan convention that they should get a strap for their kill-everything-knife. Though, they never do. I would have loved an episode where they tried it, something terrible happens with it, and they at least then decide not to, but no.

Mostly I just thought that episode was a big waste of storytelling potential - "Hey, let's add a bunch of actual gods from different pantheons into our list of mythical creatures... And then kill ALL of them in one episode." They should have done so much more with those characters. Like, just off the top of my head, if they're trying to come up with a bigger threat than last season, why not go for some non-Christian end of the world myth, like Ragnarok?

Aphrodite posted:There's a running joke where a side character has visions of their jobs, and is writing a cheesy Goosebumps-esque series about them. Each episode is a book in the series. They go to a hotel that happens to be hosting a convention to investigate... a ghost I think? I forget exactly. But the con guests constantly poo poo on their crappy Sam and Dean costumes, and the episode is an opportunity for them to address some of their crazy fan stuff. Aphrodite posted:Yes, most likely. The show's creator is a Hellblazer fan. There's actually a character on the show who dresses exactly like Constantine.

The show's rules are explicitly that the Christian stuff is real, and all the others are false. They're just spirits, elementals, etc. that were worshiped enough to gain a lot of power, but are still nothing next to the Christian powers.

Since we're still on Supernatural for some reason, my IITVM is when they decide that a monumental shell between great and powerful beings needs to be anything other than fisticuffs. Maybe with a knife or shotgun. Or attempted vehicular

Sam and Dean kill a lot of old gods, but it's always made clear that they are shadows of their former selves since they don't have the worshipers and sacrifices anymore. There is also the souls as currency or power tokens, heaven and hell go all out to collect all they can and the other gods just kind of snack now and then. I have this theory that there was an if/then clause wrapped up in the Armageddon prophecy, if the brother's are the first brothers in biblical history to not screw each other over, they get to go on and wipe everything else out leaving a human only existence

Randomly decided to start watching The Messengers because it's on Netflix so mild spoilers. So the devil is playing chess for an incredibly obvious "when you least expect it, checkmate" "we are such clever writers" moment. But despite not getting a full view of the board it can't possibly be an actual checkmate. Though the message could be "the devil is really good at bluffing" i doubt it. (second episode about 29 minutes in if anyone wants to see) also, token "i'm an atheist" character sees herself and companions with wings in a mirror, it is acknowledged that they all saw it, and then is still staunchly against any reasonable course of action whilst being totally certain that a video she saw of a random eight-year-old boy has to be her son that has been missing for over seven years "because i'm his mother, that's how". lol episode 3 ~9:30 in "then you can enjoy watching him both die"

That reminds me of how on Roseanne they make a big deal about how the family struggles and has problems making ends meet but then throughout the show they are able to open up a string of businesses.

Crimson Peak how does the protagonist's mother know enough of the future to give a ghostly ambiguous warning when her daughter was a child? As far as I can tell, the Sharpe siblings had no connection to her family whatsoever and they likely hadn't had their incestuous relationship discovered yet. When the second warning came it's a little more sensible since events have occurred and maybe there's some silly ghost network to get information to still living people that can understand ghosts. In fact they probably could have cut the warning bits out entirely and just establish the protagonist as being able to see dead people and nothing of value (reworking the one scene where the movie title comes into play) would be lost.

I just watched Man Vs., a found-footage style thriller about a outdoorsman filming himself in northern Ontario for his TV series, when poo poo starts to get weird. I liked the premise of the movie, but it really fell apart for me. So the first night that outdoors guy is alone in the forest, he's awakened by a loud crash and in the morning, he sees a huge path ripped through the treeline across the lake. Weird stuff starts happening as he films, stuff goes missing, and something is loving with his cameras and making weird sounds. Creepy right? So it turns out (ending spoilers) he's caught on the edge of an alien invasion. The thing that crashed to earth on his first night is some terribly CGI'd alien/cyborg thing that spends days just following him around and playing headgames. It isn't until the last 15 min that it tries to actively kill him. Outdoorsman finds where his support crew is camped nearby, and the alien thing straight up murdered the gently caress out of them no problem. He finds a TV in a camping shack and the news says it's a global invasion and millions are dying. So why did it just follow the guy around for days instead of just killing the guy? Talk about a lovely murder bot. Anyways, the movie was very so-so, and I wouldn't suggest watching it unless you love watching Survivorman.

The Zombie Guy posted:Anyways, the movie was very so-so, and I wouldn't suggest watching it unless you love watching Survivorman. You had me sold on "found footage". I can't get enough of that garbage. I do get annoyed at horror movies in general where the monster/killer/whatever spend the whole movie toying with the victim, but understand why they do it. Yeah the alien could have just offed him the second he saw him, but then you have no movie. They have to make the monster/demon thing a dick that gets off from making them real scared before they die to at least preserve the illusion that the human has a chance. It makes me think of what annoyed me about movies like The Hills Have Eyes (the remake). Why spend all that time tormenting them and giving them a chance to escape when you could just ambush them with all your people straight away and eat them or whatever it is they do? The fact that I know the answer of "they would only act this way in a movie because the alternative is boring" is irrationally irritating I guess. I just wish they'd come up with some kind of scenario where the monster/whatever acts logically/intelligently and still leaves enough room for a feature length movie.

I want to see a horror movie where the reason the alien/demon is dicking with everyone is really mundane. "Why? What do you want  ""I got stranded here 30 years ago, and I can't wander into a town looking like this!. I got bored. Chill out. Hey, I'm tired of this game, let's go back in the spooky cabin and watch a movie or something?" Edit: Then, a few hours later, they both hear a loud crash outside, and the REAL movie begins!

Lex secretly bought the local insurance office and set it up so that the Kents would have a 25 dollar deductible and their premiums would never go up, since Clark wouldn't ever accept anything from him for saving his bald rear end in the pilot.
