In The Bourne Identity, there's a scene where Jason Bourne escapes from the US Embassy in Germany while evading a security team. At 1:38 you can here on the radio chatter "Target may have a radio", and the next shot with Jason he's no longer wearing it.

This got kind of lost in the Robocop chat, but I just wanted​ to say that I appreciated it. I love the Bourne movies, some probably more than they deserve.

I liked Tropic Thunders commentary because Robert Downy Jr didn't break character until after the credits rolled.

And his commentary accent stays consistent with which character he is at that time.

It gets a little creepy when Parker drunkenly insults his ex-fiancée (who plays the woman interviewing Packer) every time she's on screen.

"Look at that loving BITCH!" etc

You have his girlfriends mixed up. In Cannibal he named Packer's horse Lea Ann after his fiancee that left him for another guy years earlier. He didn't start dating the other chick until after Cannibal, and on either this or Orgazmo's commentary (maybe both) every time them dating comes up he starts screaming about how he hosed IT ALL UP and they broke up eventually.

IMDb says Liane Adamo was the ex-fiancé. But I guess if that were true she probably wouldn't have been cast in Orgazmo. IMDb editors must be confused too somewhere.

Unless the entire male main cast of Cannibal was involved in some kind of anti-women-named-Lea Ann conspiriacy, he was engaged to someone named Lea Ann at some point before they made Cannibal. They aren't vague about it.

It's Lianne, isn't it? She plays one of the dancers in the 'Hang the Bastard' scene. But yeah the horse and Cartman's mother are named after her.

Trey was in a relationship with Toddy Walters (who plays Polly Pry in Cannibal! and one of the porn stars in Orgazmo) but I thought they stayed friends after it ended, since she went on to write a bunch of songs and did a load of voices in South Park and its movie, plus turned up in That's My Bush!

In another The Thick Of It moment, I really like watching Sam's reactions in the audience during the inquiry episode. She's either smirking or scowling at the witnesses but looks genuinely concerned for Malcolm when he's on the stand.
It's mainly so I can mention the thick of it again because as funny as the show is, holy hell is series 4 bleak. The first two seasons are about laughing st incompetent ministers, but by show's end everyone sympathetic is so morally bankrupt and repulsive that it is hard to feel any satisfaction when the scumbags get their comeuppance. gently caress you Ollie you scheming spineless bastard.

I also vaguely remember that Sam wasn't in the audience until some point when Malcom needed an intimidating presence at the inquiry. I can't remember exactly when or who was being questioned. I need to go watch series 4. It is bleak so I tend to avoid it.

I'm pretty sure that Sam disappears during the interviews where the baroness has been taken out due to her own press leaks. And while 4 is bleak, it still has very funny moments. It's just that unlike Hugh or Nicola, Peter Mannion's DoSAC cronies are so completely detestable that the fun of watching them screw up is not enough to counteract how awful they truly are. Adam and Fergus or horrible horrible people.

The best episodes of the show are in series 3 where Malcolm punches Glenn or where Nicola and Peter have the worst radio interview ever.

Just watched 'The Girl With All the Gifts', which I thought was pretty great.

At the end of the movie, Melanie has opened all the spores (Pandora's Box) and Sgt. Parks has come after her and gotten himself infected. Barely even being able to hold it any longer, he gives her his pistol and begs her to shoot him. She immediately chambers a round, and Parks asks her, "Where'd you learn to do that?" "I watched you," she replies. "Of course you did," he says, and smiles. Glenn Close's character Dr. Caldwell had written in a report about Melanie, "Exquisite mimicry of observed behaviours?" much earlier in the film, and that quote had been brought up again a few moments before Parks' final scene.

The scene with all the kids/test subjects helplessly gnashing their teeth trying fruitlessly to get at Parks in the beginning was really effectively creepy.

There is some very sensual touching going on in the cutscene there. i don't actually think it means anything sexual but it's cool how it contrasts with modern ideas of what bad ass stuff should be like. It even seems authentic to some kind of chivalric masculine touching from a tyme longe gone

Rev. Bleech_ posted:

Why did it take people so long to figure out Frank Miller has been basically writing the same grumpy old man story for 30 years anyway?

i think it has something to do with Watchmen. Everyone in the industry read it and was like "why can't our poo poo be that good? Who can we hire that can do this?"

But the mega-unsubtle point of Watchmen is that if you put them in a more realistic world, superheroes are a fascist fantasy of suppressing society's problems with violence forever. If you accept that but you still want to put out Batman comics where Batman does basically the same stuff and is still the hero, you need someone who can and will write stories where Batman has no choice but to sweep out those ghettos in his tank car. ("Rubber bullets. Honest") And if you don't care about the politics of it, it all seems equivalent, it's all just gritty badass stuff

Something I really liked in this weeks Flash episode was how he had trouble stopping when he ran.

Way back in Season 1, he would always skid to a halt and wave his arms around for the first few episodes, and he slowly got better at it. It was a nice throwback.

Picking up commentary chat again for a minute, I rewatched Garth Marenghi's Darkplace this week, and the commentary is excellent. The creators comment in character as actors on a fictional show, and Matt Berry as Todd Rivers barely remembers being on the show, constantly misses the plot because he's checking his phone, and when he does pay attention he's very vocal about how bad the show is.

German jazz musician Helge Schneider has also made a few movies, and the commentary track for one consists mainly of long stretches of silence because he doesn't feel the movie came out very good and can't think of anything to say. 25 minutes in he gets up and ends it.

This is an old conversation, but just to clarify, Trey was engaged to Liane while they were in pre-pro for Cannibal. She was involved in coordinating (if I remember correctly, I think she was also doing costumes). He caught her in bed with another guy either immediately before or during the shoot. They didn't have time or money to replace her, so there were a few awkward days where they were together on set.

His animosity towards her is still pretty hosed up, but that may explain it. Also if I recall correctly I think he's said that he has since regretted naming Cartman's mom after her.

He plays for the dreamers that forgot how to dream, and the lovers that forgot how to love.
May be waaaay overthinking it but something that came to mind about the song "Murder" from Reefer Madness - as Ralph is being tormented by his own guilt, he begins to hallucinate the people who died during the course of the movie, and the "Zombies" form the emotional crux of the song, and how the characters respond to that is the key point in their development. Ralph is consumed by his guilt, only able to parrot back what they say:

Open the gates and abandon hope
We're the ghosts of the kids who got hooked on dope
You murdered us Ralph... MURDERED US!

Ralph: :gonk: MURDERED THEM!


Sally dies too quickly to really respond but her last moments are of the same fear - she realises exactly what's bothering her but far too late to do anything about it.

Then it gets interesting: May starts seeing them, but she joins them, trying to bring Jack back from the brink of his own bad behaviour, but they all fail. All May's lyrics are not just admitting what she did, but trying to bring Jack around as well:

I see them now Jack... And they want their childhoods back!


However, Jack has no empathy at all. He is easily able to rationalise his guilt away with platitudes "We all do what we need to do in the dog eat dog eat dog world" etc, and what is he singing, what is he shouting over? May singing "Open the gates and abandon hope, they're the ghosts of the kids who we're hooked on dope". She has completely joined Ralph and Sally in the chorus. Why her? She is one of Jack's victims. She is someone who has been suffering at his hands for years now, and is trying to make him admit that he's a poo poo. May sees Ralph and Sally join the chorus quickly as well, it appears that it's based on how much the characters cared about the victims:

Ralph liked Jimmy in a predatory way so he's the first person that starts bugging him, then the girl he corrupted steps in, he may not have given her a thought if she weren't Jimmy's girlfriend - and then that gets him in the mindset to let the others flood in and overwhelm him completely.

May considered Ralph and Sally close friends, so as soon as they die it starts weighing on her badly. All Jack sees though is May, and he isn't even listening to her. To him she may as well be one of the chorus - not even there. He can't see Ralph and Sally as all they were to him were clients.

So May finally steps up, and puts him squarely in the chorus (metaphorically, the song is long over at this point), making him her final victim by beating him to death with a hoe.
