They didn't know that though, and it actually worked for a while until the bits started melting. It's like someone in a horror movie running left instead of right. It's fine, as opposed to running into the haunted basement instead of running away from the spooky house

In Terminator 2 they had a couple of chances to weaken the T1000 and they didn't. Like when John Connor had a piece that broke off when it was trying to grab the car and he THROWS IT BACK. Or when the T1000 shattered why didn't Arnie scoop up 5he fragments and lob them into the molten steel that was right there?

No way he'd keep around a part of it. Scooping is dumb so I won't speak to it.

In The Beyond, it irritated me that they started with a kind of interesting premise and then totally blew it by spending the majority of the movie on some bullshit about how to put a brain in a robot when they could have just handwaved the physics stuff about how the human body couldn't make the trip and shown us some cool aliens or whatever. And don't even get me started on the ending. You're doing a kind-of found footage/fake documentary scifi movie, trying to make a serious point just feels out of place. I'm someone who likes that type of movie and is very forgiving, but that whole movie was just irritating.

I like the MiB guys trying to deal with the tooth fairies in Hellboy 2, but I’m not a fan of the wacky Men in Black style background gags going on in the base. Also I know it’s passé but I don’t like Seth MacFarlane reusing the voice from that lovely talking fish from American Dad.

I read somewhere that freezing and shattering it was supposed to have actually hosed it up pretty good, which is why it's stuttering and having issues in the forge towards the end. It's still a machine, after all, and breaking it apart like that at those temperatures apparently didn't do whatever systems keep it together any favors.

Yeah, there were at least two deleted scenes that made it clear that the T-1000 was really not working well after freezing/shattering/rehealing. One had the T-1000 resting his hand on a striped handrail, only to find that he was accidentally mimicking the coloring and had a little trouble stopping himself from grabbing the thing in the first place. Other scene had John realizing his mom was the T-1000 was looking at her feet to find that everything below the knee was mimicking the metal grate under its feet. The only part of this "the T-1000 is busted" throughline that survives into the theatrical cut is a bit where the T-1000 ripples upward once. It's still supposed to be a clue that poo poo isn't right with him, but in a void it just comes out looking like it's doing a "is everything where it needs to be" pass over itself.

They had to arrange for the pieces to be dropped in several different oceans to make sure nobody reassembled him. Although being even more pendantic, the Scoobies don't actually know if he's dead or not. They do the ocean thing as a precaution, because why wouldn't you?

It's always annoyed me that without the deleted scene, John has no way of knowing which of the Sarah Connors is the real one. So in the theatrical cut it looks like he just sees one appear behind the other and takes a blind guess.

I'm having difficulty finding it on youtube, but isn't the T1000 trying to get him to come closer, and Sarah appears and growls 'John, get down' or something? Not hard to figure out which is which in that case.

That takes another god-like thing to intervene though so it's not really practical. Also it didn't work because the winchesters are morons. In the Dead Like Me spinoff they shoot an immortal guy into space.

I'd love to see a character who earlier in the story made a huge mistake of some sort and used fighting his clone as a way of kicking himself. Just smacking him with a hammer yelling "WHY! DID! YOU! SAY! THAT! YOU! IDIOT!" while the clone lies in the fetal position crying.

It's really, really weird and you definitely wouldn't love seeing it but in the animated Death Of Superman movie a shirtless Lex Luthor does that to a Superman clone he created himself, blaming him from dying and leaving him alone. And, before you ask, yes, that's the context, and yes, it is exactly as homoerotic and disconcerting if you watch the full movie.

The scenes have been known about since the off, though, they're in the official novelisation. As to how John knows which Sarah is real: the first one is calling for him to come out when his mother had told him not to, and the second looks angry as gently caress - the T-1000 is relentlessly calm - is obviously affected by her injuries, and has her shotgun.

I'm watching some lovely movie on netflix where the premise is someone keeps a guy locked up in a cage for days because they think he kidnapped their son. The premise itself is irritating because if he really was the kidnapper then you'd probably be killing the kid if he was tied up somewhere and depended on the kidnapper for food/water. That's a rational irritation though - the irrational one is that in movies like that where someone is in a cage they hardly ever address the fact that they'd need to go to the bathroom. It's irrational because I don't actually want to see someone making GBS threads in a bucket or the people cleaning it up, but once I started noticing it it always sticks out.

No, it's called a mother's instinct or something. e: the ending is also very irritating in a similar way to what you all were posting about a few pages back about the good guys never facing any consequences for the various crimes they commit. They just cut it off after the family is reunited. I don't need the full aftermath where they all go to prison for life for torturing a guy in a cage for days and the kid gets put in foster care, but at least show them getting arrested so it's not just another feel-good clean happy ending. yeah I eat ass has a new favorite as of 00:26 on Jan 29, 2018 |
