Man, the end of the Warcraft movie sure is stupid. The human king is all "Hey half-Orc lady, we're about to be slaughtered but you can kill me to rise in the Orc ranks and try to bring peace between our people." So she stabs him in the back and then does absolutely nothing to bring down the main bad guy, even advising him not to take an action that would cause him to lose command of the Horde. Also I guess the Queen's brother (who is the main human character) is now King? That whole scene was pretty unclear. Another thing that's kind of stupid is that most of the movie is the humans trying to make peace with the Orcs but then you just think back to the opening when a narrator says that Orcs and humans have been at war for years and years.

He plays for the dreamers that forgot how to dream, and the lovers that forgot how to love.
With Zooey Deschanel I've noticed that she can be incredibly wooden if poorly directed. I watched a Miniseries called Tin Man years ago which had interesting ideas, and a good performance from the supporting cast which included Alan Cummings as the scarecrow character and an interesting take on the Tin Man.

Deschanel plays the Dorothy Gale analog called DG becasue acronyms are edgy. (OZ is now an backronym for "Outer Zone" it's overall a dumb show), and her and the actress playing the chief villain, her sister who is possessed by the wiched witch of the west, are the worst performances bar none. Her sister is played by an actress who's only credit on the back of the box is Scary Movie 5, although to give her credit in a scene where she's at her childhood home and the sister's memories are forcing their way back into her mind, you can tell the actress is trying to do a regretful nostalgia but failing at it due to being a bad actress.

Interesting Ideas:

The Tin Man is an ex-cop from the Emerald City who isn't actually literally made of tin, he is just severely jaded after being forced to relive his family being slaughtered by the villain over and over for years. The Tin Man moniker is a nickname given to the police with the same root as the UK term "Copper".

Alan Cummings plays the scarecrow character, who is interesting because of how the backstory affects Alan's performance. He used to be the queens adviser, the smartest man in the kingdom of Oz but the villain literally stole half his brain to power a superweapon, and his performance is interesting as a result. THere are times when it's obvious that his goofy nature is a coping mechanism, like when they do the old joke where the idiot takes the main character in circles in the woods and they pass the same log three times, and Glitch, as he now calls himself, is clearly distraught that he's forgotten the route that he used to know so well. He chulckes and plays it off with a joke but it's obvious that he is very frustrated with himself due to his mannerisms. There's also a funny part later where him and the Tin Man need to infiltrate the lair of the villain, and Glitch is rambling on about how good a dancer he used to be. The tin man tries to take out the guards and struggles with them then Glitch jumps in and dance fights them to death with a lot of kicks and dodges. His response to the look the Tin Man gives? "It's all about the rhythm :smug:"

The Wizard has been reduced to an addict performing stage shows to afford a substance that the villain is using to cloud his mind, although the original sharp wit occasionally manages to fight it's way through. His actor does a decent job getting the inherent despair across, and helps that character be entertaining.

The cowardly lion character, a psychic dogman called Raw, is one of the weaker performances due to not being given much to work with, but his arc with finding his courage is interesting and somewhat satisfying despite that. His species are empaths, and due to being tortured so the villain can use their psychic abilities the locate the McGuffin (the "Grey Gale") that will make her weapon work and also the only thing that can stop it, has developed an aversion to people in general and has had any assertiveness literally beaten out of him. However, when it comes down to him being captured he is put in a cell with two others of his kind, and old man and a child, his cowardice lets the old man be taken and he doesn't survive the experience. When the guard comes for the kid, Raw finally snaps out of desperation, wrestles the guards cattleprod away from him and tases him with it in a satisfying moment.

The Grey Gale itself in amusing. It is the tomb of the original Dorothy Gale, and when DG enters it she finds herself in Kansas in greyscale, talking to Dorothy's young self. I thought it being so literal was kinda funny.

Overall it is muddled in execution but the good parts are at least fun, even when the CG is garbage. Also the evil sister summons flying monkeys out of her five boob tattoos, when the lead one, Sora, is killed I think that that tattoo disappears. I thought that was hilariously stupid.

Dear television and movies,

No one has done anything interesting with the "Why you little (loud noises cover obscenities) on a stack of pancakes" joke since its inception. Coming up with a new random statement to finish things off with doesn't make it a different or new joke. Either figure out how to switch it up or stop using it.

It was my "random statement" to end the deluge of obscenities, hence why it was not funny or clever. That's the whole joke typically, just imagined vile language finished off with a confusing non-sequitur.

And I haven't seen Wayne's World in many years, so that may very well be an exception.

There was that scene in Happy Gilmore where Happy is swearing up a storm & they're bleeping it on TV. The funny thing is that they don't get all the swears so the occasional "gently caress" and "poo poo" gets through.

My favorite thing is that this movie aired on ABC Family a while ago and the censor was apparently too lazy to really go through that scene, so it aired with all the swears that leaked through intact. :v:

Cop and copper is probably from the Latin capere meaning to take rather than from the metal.

The best part of that scene is, it would be legal in basically the rest of the world :can:

The best part is the writers always use California's age of consent law (gotta be 18), despite the age of consent varying wildly between states, because they do no loving research.

Barney on How I Met Your Mother was always making jokes like "The only reason to wait 30 days to sleep with a girl is if she's seventeen and 11 months old" when the age of consent in New York is 17.
