God Hole posted:I know it wasn't entirely a serious movie (and probably has some parallels in reality, considering the entire movie is an allegory for climate change), but I found it a little absurd in Pacific Rim that all the world's governments would agree that the best way to handle a wormhole that has proven to infinitely spawn giant, destructive monsters at an exponential rate, would be to de-fund the giant robot program that had been working up till then and build a giant wall and forget about it. I mean, a big part of the beginning of the movie is that the Jager program wasn't working like it used to and the bigger Kaiju were starting to kill a lot of them.

He's an American, though, he shouldn't be expected to know how to pronounce British towns correctly. He *should* know that all the bullshit he spouts about Teflon bullets is totally inaccurate.

It's nice that they included that big red warning right below the title, though. Seriously, Watership Down was traumatizing as a kid. Edit: and reading the Wikipedia summary of Plague Dogs, gently caress that movie too. Riot Carol Danvers has a new favorite as of 23:41 on Nov 29, 2017 |

Watership Down and Plague Dogs kind of go beyond "depressing," though. Like I mean this is an honest-to-goodness scene from "a special kind of movie magic" film Plague Dogs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T--6tLXVhWE

Plague Dogs opens with a dog being forced to swim until exhaustion, where he passes out to the bottom of a pool, only to be rescued and being set up to do it again, like he has done many times before. His friend had experimental surgeries done in his brain that left him hosed up. Neither of those are the worst things that happens in the movie. It's the most effective PSA against Animal Experimentation.

Seventh Arrow posted:My irritating movie moment is seeing The Plague Dogs being advertised as a lighthearted adventure movie for kids: As a kid, I loved Watership Down. I still get a tremendous feeling of nostalgia when I think of it. Whenever they'd run it on TV when I was a kid, I'd make sure to watch it. I still feel the panic that the rabbits feel about the poison and the fear of the snare when I think of it. I haven't seen it in years and I should probably see if my oldest daughter can make it through. She's 10 so she should be fine. Of course, when I was her age, my favorite movies were Amadeus and Name of the Rose so I may have skewed outlook on life. To reflect upon bad advertising, Fanny and Alexander by Ingmar Bergman. Not the "laugh a minute romp" that the back cover of the VHS claimed. Not "laugh a minute" at all. Not at all.

In movies I don't get upset when someone mispronounces a local word. This is mostly because where I live we have a fair amount of Native American names in our city. There are thousands of people that were born and raised here that cannot say them correctly. It's dumb but whatever. An actor doing an accent and pronouncing something wrong is nothing to me.

Stupid_Sexy_Flander posted:I watched the new blair witch movie and it sucked. Perhaps it was something that was going to come up in an earlier draft of the script? Or maybe just a gross out moment in the middle of the absolute nothing going on in 99% of the movie. The only part that was well done when the main chick was crawling around under the house in the end and she gets stuck for like a minute in the tunnel and she starts freaking out. I'm not claustrophobic or anything but that whole bit was just super,super uncomfortable to watch in a good way.

Who says he didn't? Widow's got super-stunners on her hands and Hawkeye has a zillion trick arrows and a fancy quiver that keeps them held at every angle. Though it probably makes sense given they're experienced super-special forces, compared to Spider-Man being an amateur superhero, Spidey got better at using both his powers and his suit through practice and experience, while those two are already adults set in their ways. War Machine's another story, but his skillset transfers well to using his own power armour.

At the very least he should be putting together armor for them, even if they can't spare the time to understand how to fly and use an Iron Man armor of their own.

Where does Hawkeye get his arrows from? I know he runs out in the first Avengers movie, but even before then he must fire so many of the drat things that you'd think he'd be covered in them from head to toe before the fight. That quiver looks like it has enough room for 10.

Black Widow is usually working as a covert operative who can only have minimal equipment in the field, so an Iron Man suit wouldn't be all that useful to her. Plus her and Hawkeye are skeptical and distrusting people and probably don't like the idea of being beholden to Tony for their equipment, especially when at least one of the three is going rogue at any one time.

They showed in AoU that Hawkeye has those little mini arrows that are in clips and extend out to full size. I'd imagine he stores a few extra clips on him when he's adventuring. Stark made those, so he does outfit the team with stuff. He's just sort of limited on what sort of stuff they want/need. Apparently Thor has a belt that's made by him, Spidey got some armor, I'd imagine Cap's uniform has some shielding or armor in there, Widow has the stunners and mini stunner things. Just cause he's not decking em out in full body IM armor doesn't mean he isn't tweaking stuff for em.
