Ape Has Killed Ape
Sep 15, 2005

Please stop arguing with MisterBibs, a man so incredibly dumb he nearly died trying to eat a hot dog on two separate occasions.

Anyway, I really enjoyed Finding Dory, but for some reason the Sigourney Weaver voiceover just annoyed the crap out of me.

I turned it off at that point and watched Alien.

Thats why I thought she was deaf to no one speaks to her just signs. If her character is deaf its dumb as she is suppose to be on the level of cassian who was close to wick in skill by her position of body guarding a council member. being a deaf assassin is going to be a huge hindrance. But there is nothing wrong with a mute assassin.

I said this earlier but John wick is basically a fantasy world where stuff like that isn't an issue. I'd believe that yeah maybe it was a hindrance but she proved she kicks rear end anyway.

Since this is the John Wick thread now this video should fit. The directors of John Wick sat down with the Honest Trailers people and nitpicked each other.

John Wick is basically the philosophical opposite of Mr Bibs, since it leaves something to the imagination and also headshots everyone instead of leaving them to die of hot dog poisoning.

When people are in some kind of life or death situation and have to run to safety and they repeatedly stop and look at the thing about to kill them like "oh god" and have to be shoved along by the other person/people. The specific example I'm thinking of is Deepwater Horizon where Mark Wahlberg and the lady need to climb higher to jump over the fire and she keeps freezing at every stair level. The longer you wait the more likely you are to die.

It's irrational because I know a lot of people freeze in situations like that but when you see it on a movie you can't help but be like "come ON already".

Horses don't have sentience. The eagles in LotR are of (at least) equal intelligence with the men, dwarves, elves, etc.

Its very likely they wouldn't have come. The only eagle that directly shows up when Gandalf calls is Gwaihir and he only shows up to save Gandalf (and friends if Gandalf is with them). The rest only show up in ways that are usually not directly consequential to the events of Middle Earth because they're an angel-analogue who aren't really supposed to directly interfere. So they show up after the major events to help clean up or rescue the worthy but don't really directly interfere. For instance, they show up to drive Morgoth away from Fingolfin's body after Fingolfin is already dead instead of just dive-bombing Morgoth during the fight when it might have made a difference. Also, without the massive distraction of Aragorn acting like he'd claimed the Ring for himself and marching on the Teeth, its very likely they'd just have been stopped by the Nine mid-air. The Eagles are one of those creatures that are probably highly visible magically so if they're flying for Mordor en masse, Sauron is going to know about it. And he's got a bunch of archers and Fellbeasts and poo poo.

Also dragons or whatever those Ring Wraths rode. I never made it all the way through the books, but I imagine that the Wraths or at least the one with the dragon are based out of the same area as Sauron's eye. They'd probably get taken down fairly easy, and it was probably too risky.

Would the ring even stay on a bird claw finger?

Anyway, in "31", if they only sent out new clowns after the previous one(s) died, why not just hold one captive (like they had the sex one) until the 12 hours are up? I guess they could just send in another if they caught on to what they're doing, but they could have at least tried.

Gandalf's horse, Shadowfax, is pretty high up there in intelligence, though, because he is descended from a breed of super horses just like the eagles are super eagles. And also like the eagles, he doesn't really care about anybody but Gandalf.

An actual small thing that annoyed me about John Wick Chapter 2:

For a society as rules-obsessed as the assassins and the High Table seem to be, you'd think there'd be something about not putting out a hit on the guy whose marker you just called in. A friend of mine pointed out that it may be viewed as a self-correcting issue but it still seemed strange to me.

My actual IIMM with John Wick 2 was that they didn't end it just a bit earlier.

I thought the perfect ending moment was cutting right after Winston said "Of course you will!" and then we get a title card that says "John Wick will return." The running away part could have gone after the credits.

I think it's based on which licenses Lego has. They have Lego Harry Potter, so they can use that magic guy. They have Doctor Who, so Daleks.

I don't think there's any Godzilla Lego set.

Gandalf didn't summon the eagles for the ring because the eagles are sick to loving poo poo of being called upon every time some idiot man does something stupid. Oh no, some human insect found a cursed ring that summons the end of times! Call the eagles! Oh no, some human rear end in a top hat found a possessed bidet seat cover, call the eagles!
