James Franco always seemed like a genuinely cool and nice guy that often gets typecast as someone who thinks he's cooler than he really is. Is there some interview with him being a douche or something that I missed?

He wrote a book about a teacher that wanted to gently caress a 16 year old, then made the film where he played the teacher who wanted to gently caress the 16 year old and then in real life also tried to gently caress a 16 year old. Also he's an extremely bad writer who talks about his writing teacher being great but his writing teacher is also terrible despite being Thomas Pynchon's student. It's his brother Dave who married Alison Brie and he's basically fine though I've only seen him when he was on the end of Scrubs and he's in 21 jump street.

In the Final Chapter of Resident Evil, how can you have a countdown clock to humanity going extinct to the precise second?

I suppose if you know the time it takes for a virus to kill you, and have a simulation of how long it will be until the virus has reached all parts of the globe, you can pretty much say "well, that's it then" when you hit that limit. There could be some hold-outs in bunkers until their food and water runs out but not enough to continue humanity. But I'm not defending it. The RE movies are dumb as poo poo and I enjoy them because of that, rather than despite it.

The weird thing about Soylent Green is that it is based on a novel which has absolutely no twist in it. There's no grand conspiracy and nobody is eating people, it's just a horrible future in which overcrowding has screwed everyone.

The annoying thing about Franco's Oz movie was that I liked his performance and the performance of Glinda, they were fun. It also had neat visuals at times, as far as I'm concerned it's main problem was the Wicked Witch - the actress was doing her best, she was just badly written and fairly miscast. I thought she at least did a decent cackle.

If you've spotted any holes in our writing, or any technical errors, that is because you are autistic (and therefore everything you have to say is worthless) Namaste.

I'm rewatching LOST and without a doubt and by a wide margin the most irritating thing about it is Sawyer's indestructible letter. He keeps that letter crammed in his rear end pocket, sits on it, pulls it out and reads it every day for the last 30 years, crumples up the paper in anger or he thrusts it at someone to read it; it's been rained on and soaked in sea water or tears when he has a good cry over it. I don't know what kind of NASA tech paper people have in Tennessee, but that letter should have been ground up into atoms before Sawyer even reached puberty. Also, 24 episodes per season, holy poo poo.

Seedge posted:In the Final Chapter of Resident Evil, how can you have a countdown clock to humanity going extinct to the precise second? It was pretty stupid but at the end the Red Queen did say she'd called off the attackers that were due to wipe out the remaining few hundred humans, after Alice had successfully released the antivirus. However I'd think that since Alice had just killed thousands of other healthy humans that were supposed to repopulate the world she probably doomed humanity to extinction anyway. What IIed me was how they focussed on how important the countdown was when it was entirely arbitrary, and, as Hollywood always does, completely ignored it anyway. They made a big deal when 7 minutes remaining but there was still easily 20 minutes of stuff that took place after that, not including the long elevator rides and running through the massive facility that she'd have had to do among all the other stuff.

If you aren't drunk and/or high as gently caress watching a Resident Evil movie you're doing it wrong. If a plot point in one of them ever made sense it'd Irrationally Irritate me. Edit: Although in fairness it does irritate me in the first movie when the Red Queen says that hair and fingernails continue to grow after you die. Umbrella's supercomputer has the scientific knowledge of a Dark Ages peasant. rydiafan has a new favorite as of 18:34 on Jul 23, 2017 |

It was hilarious seeing the wiki have to scramble to replace every instance of "LAX alternate time line" with "in purgatory". What pissed me off with the purgatory reveal is how it undercut all the wonderful dramatic irony of them being alternate time lines. In the main timeline we see Sayid struggling with the evil he's done, and being told he's a good man pushed to extremes by his environment. In the alternate timeline we see that he's still a violent rear end in a top hat. In the main timeline Ben is a genius machiavellian manipulator. In the alternate timeline he's weak and spiteful, scrabbling for any power or respect he can. Jacob tells the losties he brought them to the island because they had nothing of worth in the outside world. In the alternate timeline, without the influence of the Island, most of them are doing pretty well, Jacob is just full of poo poo. Then woops they're dead none of that matters.

Lost is the show that convinced me to never watch an ongoing story-driven program until it ends because I dropped out of Lost after about two episodes and after years of everyone telling me it was the craziest best poo poo ever the final season ended with everyone telling me to not waste my time and that nearly a decade prior I had, indeed, accurately guessed the shows plot.
