Batman versus Superman: dawn of just ice spoilers When confronting batman for the second time, when Batman has the krypto spear, why does superman know his real name? He says something like "Bruce! Please! I was wrong! Luthor wants us to fight' or whatever. When did he learn his name? Why did I watch this a second time is the real IIMM.

Extended edition is the usual answer to BvS iimms. But there's a point early on where it becomes clear that Bruce and Clark know each others' secret identities, as Lex Luthor also knows both of them. (and basically introduces them to teach other knowing this) Usual answer: Superman has X-Ray vision, Batman is the world's greatest detective.

Back to the Future. Not the story or anything, just the bad compositing during the time machine test which leads to Marty standing in a trail of fire.

I love Starship Troopers and I get the Klendathu massacre was meant to show the hubris of the war-mongering humans but it always irritated me how ineffective their weapons are against the bugs. It takes so many rounds to stop just one bug, I think there's a part where it takes 4 marines to down just one of them. At the start of the movie they are dissecting bugs in high school and there's a news clip where Doogie Howser shows you how to kill one so you'd think they'd have more effective guns. Also, nuke 'em from orbit - don't send dudes down to the surface. It's the only way to be sure. Fake edit: Now that I think about it as well, since the thread has already mentioned that bug planets appear to be wastelands and the only reason the humans are at war is to kill 'em all, why don't they just blow up the planet or something?

Justifies asking for more money and recruitment.

Didn't these very forums crowdfund body armor for real life soldiers who had been deployed without it? That's the kind of thing I think about when people complain about army efficiency in movies.

TV IIM: I'm watching the first seasons of Modern Family with my girlfriend and while the show's kind of poo poo overall, the most irritating thing for me is that they insist on using this Office-style fake documentary framing device but didn't put any thought into it. It's (mostly) filmed with a steady cam, but it's edited in a way that shouldn't be possible. Once in a blue moon a character will look at the camera, but otherwise nobody ever mentions a film crew (new or temporary characters, for example). There are talking heads segments "comically" edited into scenes, but the way the characters talk makes it seem like the segments were recorded right then and there, with the characters having no knowledge of what happens right after the cut, even though the segment would have been recorded at the end of the day or whatever.

Was there ever a show done in that faux-documentary style where they acknowledged the "film crew" at all, or one of them reacts to something happening or something?

US version of The Office. There was a gimmick episode about the crew.

This is just the modern way of doing asides and showing inner thoughts to the audience, rather than pausing the scene and having a voice over or something like that.

Schubalts posted:The Starship Troopers cartoon showed more varied environments (like actual oceans and island chains), but presumably the bugs ate everything and send colony ships out to strip new planets. That series was so great. Final episode they are flying up to the bug home-world and--!!! Cancelled.

Decrepus posted:It's not live. That... really doesn't change anything. If it were a documentary, they still would have only one take, so you can't show two camera angles at 180 degrees from each other because each camera would be filming the other. You also can't show a camera angle from a locked room or a place that's very hard to reach. RBA Starblade posted:Was there ever a show done in that faux-documentary style where they acknowledged the "film crew" at all, or one of them reacts to something happening or something? Original UK office had the janitor (who was Stephen Merchant's dad, I think?) stare at the camera, you could sometimes hear the crew asking questions, characters who were less used to the show stared at the camera more often (like the team building exercise guy). It wasn't perfect, but they put in effort to make it an actual framing device. CordlessPen has a new favorite as of 15:11 on Jul 12, 2018 |

Zaphod42 posted:Yeah I just watched it and it was real bad. The presence of Will Sasso playing an extremely over-the-top cliche Canadian character made the whole thing feel like a cheap MadTV episode. Broken Lizard, you're not geniuses but you're better than that, comeon. Don't forget the guy getting addicted to estrogen because female orgasms are just AMAZING!! HAHAHAAAHAHAH lactating nipples and emotions?! Men don't do that silly haha.

Some of my favorite jokes on The Office U.S. revolve around the cameramen. Characters suddenly remembering to watch what they say and do, and so forth. Dwight and Jim talking poo poo about warehouse workers then packpeddling, for instance. "Theirs is more of a physical intelligence."

I enjoyed the short-lived comedy series Death Valley where a TV crew follow LAPD cops around in a world where monsters are a part of the public. They refer to the crew quite a lot. I mean, it's not high art or anything, but dumb fun.

I’m watching Batman vs Superman and every tiny covert tracking thing in this movie has a blinking LED and a speaker so it can beep. So many movies do this. No poo poo they found the tracking beacon you were hiding, you manually wired extra components to it that are used specifically for detection.

The episode of Leverage that parodies The Office (“The Office Job”) has the main characters running a con on a stationery company while a documentary is being filmed there at the same time. They solve a mystery by reviewing the documentary footage.

my favorite for mockumentary crews is definitely trailer park boys because at one point the sound guy gets shot and the rest of the crew keeps doing their thing and goddamn if that wasn't a great metaphor for my brief experience as a sound guy.
