"Trouble Brewing" Would be funnier if I could post it, but I'm pretty sure a goon would still report me in 2019 for disrespecting Gary Larson, the one copyright the internet cares about.

Krispy Wafer posted:There is no US military because superheroes make them obsolete. From a couple pages ago, but I didn't see anyone mention it: they actually say in Agents of SHIELD that high level members of the U.S. military are actually HYDRA operatives. They even show a flashback where HYDRA operatives are getting their "placements" after completing their training, with Hale being assigned to the Air Force and Sitwell telling her that it's a good placement.

Voyager I posted:This is actually one of my pet peeves from any kind of punchy action film. There's inevitably a scene that pits a light, nimble fighter up against some powerlifting muscle golem. During the fight, the big guy will get some kind of deathgrip on the smaller fighter, and then after a dramatically appropriate length of time they will throw them across the room or through a wall or something to demonstrate their incredible strength. The smaller fighter might be dazed for a beat, but they dust themselves off and the fight begins again on equal footing. If you ever get a hold on someone against whom you have a massive size and strength advantage, the last thing you're ever going to do is let them go!. Well then watch Game of Throwns

My assumption until I read that was she was just making an absurd joke about how "extreme" australia is like people on the internet do a lot lately where they act like you are mobbed with deadly animals the instant you step outside (and inside the spiders get you).

The GoT tv show exists purely for GRRM to test out the ending he wanted to write, but was afraid of its critical reception. Now he has to spend another 12 years to come up with something even worse.

Davros1 posted:That's just what aliens from the Planet Zeist sound like! TIL I need to see the director's cut of Highlander II, where apparently they cut out ALL references to the Immortals being aliens. It's irritating that the movie got any sequels at all, since Connor Macleod wins The Prize in the first movie, but I'm still looking forward to John Wick-guy's reboot. I've always thought Highlander would make a great prestige TV miniseries reboot, too. Especially playing up the tragedy angle of immortal friends who will eventually be forced to fight each other, because there can be only one. Imagined has a new favorite as of 19:47 on Aug 9, 2019 |

End Trip: Skulls do not work like they do in the Walking Dead. You cannot just calmly insert a steak knife into a man's skull as if you're dunking it into some butter. I do not know the force and quality of knife required to go hilt-deep through the side of an adult skull, but I would put my money on "a lot more than that". also I'm very much not a fan of the style where they keep cutting between the present and the past. I prefer my lovely horror movies to at least be linear...it's hard enough to pay attention to them without them making me go "wait, is this the past or present?" every 5 minutes.

Yeah, I say that but I'm fine with them for new characters like GoTG and Doctor Strange and all but drat you if I have to see how Uncle Ben dies this time or the Wayne Family dies now. Wouldn't it be some poo poo if they make a new Superman movie and it's 70 minutes of Krypton and once it explodes we flash forward to the future and all he does is nudge someone's car off the curb?

Even for those, I don't think the origin stories are useful any more. GotG didn't need to tell us why Groot is Groot or why Rocket is a raccoon, or why Quill has jet boots, or why... etc. They just were, and people were perfectly OK with that.

Trick is to take note of the visual shorthand they use. Maybe the protagonist has a beard in the present but is clean shaven in the past, or their hand is gone, there's always a thing & they spend a bunch of early scenes doing clever cuts so you can see the difference.

It wasn't too hard once I realized that the present guy was the bad guy in post-stealing the not-uber driver's identity and copying his hairstyle and stealing his clothes post-murder. I still don't like it. You know where the story is building toward and it just makes me wonder why i'm watching. Also he didn't even really try the "i'm your boyfriend, you just don't recognize me because you hit your head (please ignore that I bashed it)" story. That can make a decent movie (although it's been done before, see my previous irritations with Overboard). He just made her her favorite breakfast (kale omelette, after watching a youtube tutorial of how to make a kale omelette), claimed to be her boyfriend 100% for reals, and when she still didn't buy it he went full on crazy and handcuffed her to the table and started stabbing visitors through the skull. If you're going to doppleganger replace someone you've got to put more effort into it than that. yeah I eat ass has a new favorite as of 23:51 on Aug 9, 2019 |

Kale is OK, I wouldn't call it "delicious", but it certainly doesn't enhance an egg. At least use something flavorful like spinach+feta. A kale omelette just sounds like torture, especially if it's only egg whites.

I can't say enough negative words about the movie "Everfall". It's so frustrating because it has a decent budget, it's well-made technically, but it's just trash, and not the good trash I thrive on. The main premise, owning some youtuber that cares more about "the likes" than his girlfriend is fine, but they do it in such a attempting to be profound way that it makes me angry. Just kill everyone off already, I can't take 20 more minutes of this. and to think the main actress's main credit is being in Scary Movie 4. How far she has fallen. e: and the thing ends up just being a hallucination. how creative. actually I don't even know anymore, who cares it's bad don't watch yeah I eat ass has a new favorite as of 00:26 on Aug 10, 2019 |

Oh yeah for an actual contribution to the thread, I watched Kursk with the folks. It's not bad, but they had the cliche where the protagonist has a pet name for his wife in like scene 2, and then at the very end, it comes up again, with an added flourish. It's so screenwriter, you can see it coming from 500 meters of arctic water away. The other thing was that since the characters are all Russian, when it gets real dark for them, they bring out the vodka and party. It's a very Hollywood Russian thing to do, I'm sure real people in a similar situation would silently drink the vodka and sulk. But it's actually a p dece film and Matthias Schoenaerts is born to play Putin in something in like 10-15 years.

I love submarine movies. I'll watch just about any piece of poo poo sub movie. Like the one with Gerard Butler recently. Have you watched The Wolf's Call yet? Supposed to be great.

Killers who are regular people but still kill people in costume. Do they just wear that stuff all day hoping someone stumbles across their wilderness lair? 4/20 Massacre has some guy in one of those suits that makes you look like you're wearing a bunch of twigs and leaves and he seems to just constantly be stalking around his weed fields. also these people don't seem prepared for a weekend of wilderness camping at all. The clothes seem wrong, they can barely build a tent, they picked some desolate place to camp and seem to have only brought weed and beer. That's a decent skillset and inventory for camping in some drive-up camping place but they hiked into the wilderness for this. and th ey made their charcoal grill in a field full of dry straw just inches from the flames. By all means blaze it but try not to blaze the entire forest please.

If you read about wilderness deaths you'll hear some sad stories about people who like drove wayyyyyyy the gently caress out in the desert or whatever with like 20 ounces of water and no plan for if their car broke down or ran out of gas.

if this movie has taught me anything, it's "don't be high constantly if you're trying to murder campers". They somehow don't notice the girl is holding a 10 inchish knife in her hand while giving the dramatic speech asking if she's ready to die....disarm your victim entirely before giving your victory speech. also the blunt was still lit enough for the protagonist to start smoking it again after being tossed into the forest floor for several minutes while she defeats the weed bad guys. Even if that was realistic, if you're covered in blood after killing a gang of drug growers, wouldn't your first reaction be getting back to civilization to call the cops and not getting high? I also take issue with the movie tagline of "inhale. exhale. scream". The monster or killer never gives you time to exhale in these kind of movies. It is known.
