A cursory search said that Madani was created for the show, but maybe that's a thing from the comics? Punisher was never my favorite read, so I'm not super familiar with the source material. I also learned in that search that Norman Reedus voiced Frank in an anime Iron Man movie. Huh. Firstborn has a new favorite as of 16:23 on Nov 27, 2017 |

Perestroika posted:Also Punisher, final episode: What was even the point of Madani showing up to the final shootout? Like, she shows up there, and is pretty much instantly shot in the head the very moment she steps into the scene, which she fortunately survives. Her entire involvement there served pretty much no purpose whatsoever. At the very least they could have let her help Frank out in the fight even just a little bit. Is there some sort of plot hook from the comics that requires her to survive a bullet to the had and gain superpowers from it or some poo poo? She was there to distract Jigsaw. It's the Scatman Crothers role.

Pretty sure she tracked Russo down to that carousel and wanted him taken in at best or dead at the least. Because he killed her partner. And a lot of Homeland Security agents. And lied about it. I think she might've shown up because even she could tell that Frank wasn't treating that fight like he expected to come back from it afterwards.

Punisher still: Oh yeah nah, I'm aware of the in-universe explanation for her presence. What I'm annoyed at is that that whole sequence had been written and resolved in such a way that she literally just showed up and immediately got shot without doing anything at all.

Uhm guys the thing that Neo is "waiting for" is for Triniti to love him? Because the Oracle told her that she would fall in love with a dead man and that that man would be the one. So the requirements for Neo to be the one are A: Morpheus finding him, B: Him dieing, C: Triniti being in love with him while he is dead. I got this when I was like ten years old.

Okay, fair enough, I can understand that. Somehow I interpretted what you said to be you were completely confused why Madani was there in the first place instead of why they decided to write her showing up to begin with.

I have trouble believing Malkovich when he's playing a calmer role, because I'm used to him playing weirdos. Seeing him in the Dustin Hoffman version of Death of a Salesman as the bumbling youngest son Biff was really weird to me.

MisterBibs posted:Who said anything about caring about his life? Immediately booting up a new clone and having him stumble across the previous clone's life, as well as stumbling the still-living clone, jeopardizes the whole money-making system. Clone dies, send a cleanup crew to reset things to zero, then poop out a new clone. Otherwise... well, the events of the movie happen. I get that this is why it's plotted like that, but still, annoying. The whole point of the system is so they don't have to send people to the moon. I'm guessing activating the replacement was either an automatic response that nobody thought to disable, or they thought 'gently caress it let's see if the computer can brazen it out and if we end up having to go to the moon anyway so what'.

I thought also the implication was the system thought he died so it just keeps going with its standard programming and since this infinite clone torture program is automated nobody bothered to check in on it until weird poo poo started happening and by then Gerty was actively sabotaging them.

Indeed. Gerty is basically mirror universe HAL, a computer given conflicting orders by it's programmers but instead of turning homicidal it manages to adopt a bit of cognitive dissonance.

What's weird is that you're talking about bad sub plots but not in the latest movie, which had a literal sub plot, said it was a transformer, but then it didn't really do anything.

Perhaps the Sega's more cerebral, seminal work Sonic Forces is more Bibs's alley, with a masked villain that explicitly says he is nothing but the mask at the point the meat of the game takes place in and as far as I'm in into this Men Drinkin Coffee Let's Play is never unmasked (but his maskless model shows up in a DLC but again his face is never shown because there's no point to showing it.) And hey bonus points there's a prequel comic that shows him maskless and he's just a dumb Sonic character with heterochromia blue and yellow eyes because who the gently caress cares when the text explicitly says he's just a mask

Just finished watching Kill Switch with a friend (good movie, kinda like Half Life but, a movie.) and had one IIMM. There's a part (sort of a big spoiler, so don't read unless you want to spoil the film) where the main character gets all pissed and mad when he finds out that the alternate earth lady lied about evacuating his family, and he rushes off to go find them... except he's known for most of the movie at this point that he's NOT on his earth and it's not really his family. Just seems completely out of character for him. However, even with that bitch point, the movie is still pretty good. It's on amazon prime if you want to watch it. Dan Stevens is awesome.

What's better (or "better") in that movie - Colm Meaney's generic American (?) accent or Nicolas Cage's generic Deep South accent? Loads of people I know say that Con Air is the best of the three big stupid action movies Cage was in immediately after he got his Oscar. I think Face/Off is better. My dad is the only person I know who likes The Rock best.

They can only be understood as a trilogy, played back-to-back or , preferentially, simultaneously at high volume. "Put the bunnay back in the box" has pretty much occupied 20% of my mental processing space since the 90's, there is no more perfect combination of line and delivery

They're all very good Nick Cage Action Movies, but Face/Off is the best Nick Cage Action Movie. When you hire Cage you get a wellspring of utter insanity, and it's just a waste not to tap into that. Face/Off realised that and dives deeply into the full Cage insanity, and even gets Travolta to do his very best to keep up with it, and the end result is nothing short of magical.

One really tiny thing I liked in Face/Off was a bit in the big action scene at the start, where Cage and Travolta are in that one arm's length Mexican stand-off that John Woo puts in every single movie he does, but they have to sort of flip their arms over one another to get into it. (This bit.)
