Just in time to resolve his daddy issues! A good movie can find things to do with characters, generally. Sometimes that means offing them.

I get a little annoyed at people who bring up up that Alien Isolation game as the true Aliens sequel, having Ripley's daughter meet a Xenomorph is loving stupid. The entire series is falling into the Star Wars trap where it's always the same people and everything gets over explained.

People say the same thing about the The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay PC between Pitch Black and Chronicles of Riddick I liked Twohy for Pitch Black and Below http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0276816/?ref_=nm_flmg_wr_10 And now going on imdb I notice there is a third Riddick movie from four years ago. So that's how I'll spend my Sunday. Chronicles of Riddick was just dumb, although I liked the 3-pack of DVDs where you got Pitch Black Chronicles and Dark Fury for like $20 at Best Buy which was as good as The Animatrix https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qnjZ4_OXGvg

A fun Riddick fact is that Vin Diesel got the rights to the setting by agreeing to do the cameo at the end of Tokyo Drift.

Chronicles is the best one. Mix of Star Wars space battles and weird undead goth fights. Judi Dench also admitted she had no idea what the hell was going on in the movie and didn't understand what her lines meant.

This one is only irrational because the movie barely makes sense to begin with: in the time travel movie Project Almanac the protagonists refuse to use time travel to fix up the fact that they somehow screwed up using time travel to win the lottery, when one scene earlier they repeated a day several times so one character could pass an exam.

My Irrational hatred of the Riddick movies is that Vin Diesel took a character from Pitch Black, (a fully realized character with a proper story arc, and actual emotions and motivations and stuff), and turned it into the biggest Mary-Sue of all time. Riddick is the last of his kind, a superduper awesome fighter guy who was also in the baddest prison but beat it coz he is that badass, and takes no poo poo from anyone, but is really a goodie but can kill anyone he likes whenever he likes in badass ways and says cool quips etc. He did the same to his character in teh Fast and the Furious movies, but I don't mind it so much because I like watching the vroom vroom cars go fast and watching poo poo explode. Also, in the latest one I saw The Rock flexes his muscles so hard he breaks out of a cast, only to go and shoot a gatling gun at a helicopter. And that is fun to watch

If you liked Pitch Black you may find Below to be entertaining. Just saiyan

The fact that the focus in pitch black wasn't all on Riddick made it waaaay better, it wasn't all about growly mc.badass cause everyone had their part to play.

MariusLecter posted:The best medical scene in Scrubs is when an older doctor pressures the main character into killing a patient with an outdated procedure. The beauty of Scrubs is that it takes completely true to life problems like this and manages to make them both funny and touching. Meanwhile shows like Grey's Anatomy put bombs inside patients and somehow manage to make it tedious and wooden.

Alien Isolation at least makes this coincidence a plot point. The android wanted the daughter to have closure on her mother's death, so engineered things to put her on Ripley's trail.

MariusLecter posted:The thing was that the procedure involved sticking an aspirator into the patients carotid and *slips into Doctor Nerd mode* Actually JD was trying to put a line into the patient's jugular vein. He wanted to use the modern 'Seldinger' technique of passing the line over a guide wire to gain access to the vein, but Dr Townshend made him use the very old-fashioned 'cut down' method where the vein is visually exposed using a scalpel incision. During the procedure JD accidentally nicked the carotid artery with his scalpel, a well recognised complication that usually requires a vascular surgeon to fix. Cue The Todd: The Todd posted:The vascular surgeon on call said to say you could pick up your patient this evening. He also said to say he could give you a loaner patient if you needed someone to butcher until then.... But I didn't really get it. Like most things in Scrubs the procedure, the techniques, the complication and the consequences were all completely accurate. As is the problem of older Doctors failing to stay up to date with the latest evidence and their underlings feeling scared to contradict them. Such a great show.

I liked Kelso's talk with Townshend when he finds out why JD made that mistake in the first place and realises just how many people his incompetence is putting at risk, with Townshend making excuses about "You know guys like us... we're set in our ways..." and Kelso shutting him down with his rant about why he spends every other saturday in a cramped ballroom being lectured at by someone who is barely out of med school. "I go there because I have to keep up. Nowadays when your out of med school for 3 years everything you've learned is obsolete!"

Oh my bad, that botched procedure really got to me and guess the memory picked up a nightmare scenario I dreamt up after the fact.  Bob Kelso isn't the cheif of medicine we want, he's the chief of medicine we need.  E: and his amazing legs. MariusLecter has a new favorite as of 17:42 on Jul 30, 2017 |

Something about SCrubs that someone in the comments pointed out - early in the series Turk and JD are roomies. When he dates Carla she moves in with them. Then the series suddenly makes out that JD is the person who is stuck in a rut. It's an apartment that JD bought! Carla and Turk should be the ones looking for their own place, but they kick JD out of his own home, literally leaving him homeless for a few episodes. Assholes!

My irritating movie moment, is that I can't talk about Wonder Woman and liking the Wonder Woman without dudes I barely fuckin' like coming out of the wood work to remind me she had a BDSM phase and that makes her not a true feminist icon. Then they get mad when I roll my eyes and do the jerk off motion. It's dumb, no-one cares, the latest wonder woman was a strong woman figure, and it was a good movie. Also, almost no-one has anything really worthwhile to say abvout the bdsm stuff because they don't actually know anything about it, just what they read in a cracked article or wtf ever. Like, if they wanted to talk about the specifics of it, I'd be down. I can post a ton of poo poo about weird rear end comic book people, but if the only thing you have to add is "well the creator was into bdsm that's why she had magic rope huehuehue" than I hate you.
