A big IMM for me is sex scenes in mainstream movies. They can be done well but usually it’s awkward as hell and all I’m thinking is how the actors were not having fun Edit: I remember The Big Easy as doing this well Cat Hassler has a new favorite as of 04:10 on Jul 19, 2020 |

Stepbrothers did that right when Dale Doback's sister-in-law uses the men's urinal after sex. Granted it brings up another irritating part where nobody comes into a bathroom when two characters are getting it on or, like in Mission Impossible, they're having a bang up 5 minute long fight while a rave is going on outside.

The speedster had to eat constantly, the guy with super breath could have ruptured his lungs if he breathed in too suddenly, the super-strong one couldn't even feed himself because he would crush the spoon and the food, the X-ray eyes hero had to wear special lead glasses because he couldn't turn it off, the flier had to be tethered to something because if he wasn't deliberately moving towards something he could drift away, the heat-vision guy had to discharge the energy from his eyes every so often to prevent a fatal buildup, and the invulnerable one had no sense of touch. Written by J Michael Straczynski, by any chance? Because that last also happens in his series Rising Stars.

First episode of Into The Badlands has the protagonist (a YA kung fu student) get attacked by a bully in the bathroom, and he has to defend himself with kung fu. It goes into slow motion as they start breaking poo poo and throwing broken glass at each other, then it cuts to the door opening and a guy walks in at normal speed and sees the slowmo kung fu. Its hilarious.

Why is the default emergency response in movie/tv military/similar bases/bunkers to turn the lights off, change them to dim red flashing lights with an obnoxiously loud siren? Decreasing visibility and hampering communication by making everyone have to shout over the sirens seems like it just gives the advantage to the infiltrators.

Yea, but I learned a long time ago that just cause there's a toy doesn't mean poo poo. I remember being all  at the novel for the 89 batman and the literal entire back half of the novel was completely different from what ended up in the movie. There were like 2 scenes left in the movie.

Is it switching to battery backup and red lights require less power? I don't know, I'm reaching here.

Using red lights doesn’t hurt your night vision (as much?), so it’s a thing that happened in military bases but played up for movie tension.

In theory your people would have a better understanding of the layout of the building and be better coordinated to defend so blaring sounds and making it hard to see would work to your advantage plus it looks cooler.

I just got an ad for Brave New World show on Peacock. Now I loved that book, same as Wrinkle in Time, but some poo poo does NOT translate well to the film screen. They fixed up Coraline well by adding the kid boy so it wasn't all monologue, but Brave New World needs a fuckton of world building that would be narration direct or introducing Bernard or someone from his first days at work. I remember Dragonheart, and having all the dragon toys as a kid, I could not loving wait to see the dragons in the movie, and then seeing the movie. It was the first one I ever told myself the lie of "well that was really good I can watch it again and prove it" poo poo. I even read the book, and my first thought was always "bitch queen, if your family was so close with dragons, the gently caress didn't you ever run away to them to escape your horrible kingdom! " But kudos for Jurassic Park toys making Nedry a buff dude with a baby raptor.

The one with the two heads but one head was actually a snake was cool as poo poo. And I also had the bad king and dragon. That was a cool part when there were mounted dragon battles

Eh! Frank posted:Who can forget this classic scene from Iron Man 3? But on the other hand, Ant-Man becoming Giant-Man for the first time in Civil War absolutely was spoiled for me by a Lego set:  For one reason or the other, it was clear that this WAS happening in the movie, while The Mandarin in a stupid little car clearly wasn't.

Watched the Netflix movie The Old Guard and the whole betrayal subplot doesn't make a whole lot of sense. If Booker betrayed them early on he did a bad job of it since they handily escape. Also he doesn't seem to actually get anything from the betrayal since he also gets captured and is going to be experimented on.

I had to look it up. Ben Kingsley of all people has as many LEGO minifigs characters as Harrison Ford (two). Alfred Molina somehow has 3 (Indiana Jones, Spider-Man 2, and some Prince of Persia poo poo).

Also in The Old Guard Charlize Theron scoffs at the idea of religion when the whole immortality stuff is explicitly magic like how whenever there's a new immortal soldier they have dreams about each other until they meet.

I spent the movie confused about why the Old Guard never touched the immortal elephant in the room: Andi''s immortality stopped the moment Nile become immortal. There's likely a cap on the number of immortals, and Nile replaced her. Even if that's not the case, it's certainly something that would occur to the characters and cause interesting tension.

I'm just saying if I was an immortal and I had dreams about other immortals and over time (hahaha) we'd all meet up, I'd stop being such a skeptic. Here's one I never got: in the movie Practical Magic the first witch to lay the curse of 'any man my female descendants love will die' didn't account for lesbians, number one, and number two...seems pretty loving horrible to not make a curse instead that says that anyone who breaks the heart of my descendants will erupt in flames or die right away. Nope, she goes right for the If You Love A Spouse, That Person Will Die.

muscles like this! posted:Also in The Old Guard Charlize Theron scoffs at the idea of religion when the whole immortality stuff is explicitly magic like how whenever there's a new immortal soldier they have dreams about each other until they meet. Well, she WAS worshiped as a god before. She knows how it goes. Mainly I took it as she's been around for 10k years, and hasn't seen poo poo that is proof of the big guy upstairs, so she's not exactly believing in any religion that has literally changed several hundred times during her lifetime.

I think John Rhys-Davies has minifigs for both Indiana Jones and LOTR. LEGO will make minifigs for anything. It’s a little surprising that Harrison Ford only has 2 characters, but then again what other character are they going to use? A LEGO playset for the film Sabrina?
