Seems fitting that the makers of the Grand Theft Auto games are based in Britain.

British healthcare is able to track such things so other welfare programs can be adjusted in the future based on birth rates, statistics, local sickness rates, etc.

BiggerBoat posted:The shark being broken was the best thing that could have happened to that film and really let Shaw, Scheider and Dreyfuss carry the load and shine, with a young and hungry Spielberg improvising and John Williams at the absolute top of It was probably already in this thread but a small thing I liked in jaws is the reactions during the Indianapolis story scene. They are all dunk and happy, comparing scars, and then Quint starts to tell his story. Dreyfus‘ character knows the story already, being a shark expert, so if you watch him in that scene he pretty much instantly goes stone cold sober as soon as the story starts. Brody doesn’t know the story so he stays amused until the story turns bad. It’s almost 100% non verbal and is just a fantastic scene.

Spider-Man (2002) is on right now, and a little scene I love is when the Green Goblin attacks the Bugle, he demands to know who takes the pictures of Spider-Man, but even under what he knows is the threat of death, JJ won't give up his source.

He's spent decades building up his public reputation and putting it on the line for the sake of the people, it's not surprising he doesn't take kindly to some vigilante who hides his face. And his son is a goddamn astronaut. That's a real hero! Do you know how you get to be an astronaut? It takes years of hard work and dedication! You sure as hell can't do it by showing up at a couple of robberies wearing a Halloween costume! Every man, woman and child in this city knows the name of J. Jonah Jameson, is there even a single person who knows who this punk is? Is he even American?! Miss Brant, read that back to me. flavor.flv has a new favorite as of 23:11 on May 25, 2018 |

Parker has never got JJJ his giant rear end-gently caress coffee, so he's in no position to make demands.

The security at the Bugle is so bad that people can just openly threaten the people who work there.

I really doubt that it was JJJ's idea, having people know he photographs Spider-Man all the time is nearly as bad as having people know he IS Spider-Man. I mean look at what happened with Eddie Brock.

Has Parker ever been described as a good photographer? Maybe most of his stuff has terrible composition and is just ever so slightly out of focus and J.J. buys the photos because they're cheap and the best he can get of Spider-man, not because they're actually decent shots. In Spider-man 2 he did a terrible job taking pictures of the astronaut gala.

Avengers Infinity War Thanos tells Thor that he "should have aimed for the head" with his axe and Thor actually really should have in order to kill Thanos before he could snap his fingers with the completed gauntlet.

Has any writer tried to reboot Spider-Man as a youtuber? Straps a GoPro to his head, posts the most awesome first person Manhattan webslinging videos, drone videos ain't got nothing on that kind of aerial view. Livestreams taking down the Green Goblin. Millions in ad revenue. Jameson still runs a newspaper and can't figure out why no one wants secondhand accounts of Spider-Man's adventures. Downsides: has to go out every single night and post everything he does or his followers will dwindle. Mysterio sets up a rival channel with much better cinematography. Chameleon keeps trolling the comments under different accounts.

Captain America: Civil War kinda addressed Spider-Man’s public exposure by showing that he’s a YouTube phenomenon, though it’s more other people filming his antics than Peter taking pics/vids of himself.

(of course, they gloss over how he actually made the costume) Spider motif, yeah, but I don't think he ever got a close look at the red and cyan color scheme of the spider itself, did he? And, yeah, it'd be a neat idea to really explore in depth the idea of a teenage superhero actually trying to keep his identity secret in this day and age. Ubiquitous cell phones, GPS, pinging, security screens...it'd be near impossible.
