There's so many weird, jarring tonal shifts in that film that really irked me when I watched it. I remember enjoying the film for the most part but then it goes from the killer being a dude to him being Jason Voorhees for no reason and then his disembodied legs are chasing them. I'm not sure of the terms, but it went from farce to parody to mockery.

Oh Broken Lizard, we'll always have Super Troopers. :unsmith:

At the end of Soylent Green, it seems like Detective Thorn is just making wild assumptions.
He makes the jump from "Soylent Green is made out people!" to "Soon they'll be farming us like cattle!" pretty quickly. Soylent Green is made from people who have already died, and considering New York City alone contains 20 million people, there really should be no shortage of fresh corpses for that bland meal.

Also, Soylent Green is made from people who have voluntarily committed suicide with the assistance of the government to help alleviate overcrowding. So apart from "cannibalism is wrong under ALL circumstances" Charlton Heston is clearly over-reacting.

I'm going to have to rewatch all of their films sober because I recall liking pretty much all of them... Bar Slamin' salmon. I can't even remember Slamin' Salmon. What a god drat name for a film... Slamin' salmon.

Recently watched The Happening. There's a lot of rationally irritating moments in that movie and the whole thing boggles my mind that it got made at all, but one thing that sticks out in my mind is the guy feeding himself to lions. Firstly, he recoils after approaching the first one when I thought he wanted to get attacked. Then it show that the first one just tears a bit of his arm off and he wanders to the next lion. I'm no zoologist but I'm pretty sure that's not how lions maul their prey. Surely it would have pounced on him, pinning him down, and riped out his throat?

Lions scavange
Lionesses hunt

Either kept in captivity do neither, they are over fed dead meat and lose the hunting instinct, which is also why when accidents happen ala Siegfried and Roy it's not a throat mauling thing but a general cat being pissed but multiplied by hundreds of pounds.

Just watched The Martian and I do not understand the hype beyond amazing visuals and a good cast. Matt Damon's "lol so cheeky" quips every five seconds drove me insane. It's like his dialogue was written by a college undergrad engineer who'd stayed up all night reading I loving Love Science memes.

Oh God yes. I only put it on because I'd seen clips of Mark's "acting" and thought it would be so bad it's funny. A post I found on another forum sums it up well:

"This movie pulls off a remarkable feat: it is just bad enough in EVERY respect to lack any merit, but not quite bad enough in ANY respect to be funny or otherwise enjoyable."

I think the book came out at the height of the internet's I loving Love Science phase so the hype was already built into the movie.

Hell, I haven't read the book myself, but apparently they toned it down for the movie. In the book Watney creates and uses a unit of measurement called "pirate ninjas."

The ship is now armed and preparing to explode. This will be a fairly large explosion, so you'd best keep back about 22 miles.

A movie about a man trapped on Mars alone growing food in his own poo poo until he can be saved won the Golden Globe for best comedy. The hidden genius of keeping all those little quips is kinda beautiful.

I wish there had been no explanation. Just two hours of suicides, confusion, and characters discussing the concept of mortality and their fear of death. Could have been amazing.

Instead we got Marky Mark having peace talks with a plastic tree.

The worst part of that scene was that it was recorded on an iPhone, and iPhones didn't have the capability to record video until the App Store opened a month after the theatrical release (and longer for native video).

A case and study of how to act lobotomized.

So they closed down a major highway here to film the next Transformers bullshit. For about a week. Marky Mark is in it again. I for one am hoping there's more statutory rape explanations in this new movie because gently caress knows no one watches it for the robots.
