Saw Jumanji: The Next Level and it's a fun enough movie that falls apart if you think about it even for a second: They actually asked the Rock to act instead of floating on his natural charisma and it's painful to watch (Kevin Hart actually does a better job than in the first movie and he completely sells the idea that Danny Glover is occupying his brain). The movie still can't decide weather or not the npcs are mindless constructs that can only react to certain lines or conscious people who would pass the turing test with flying colors. The most (or only) interesting idea that the movie has is that everyone ends up in the "wrong" avatars but this is abandoned (then again it also means that the Rock can stop with his attempts at imitating Danny DeVito). The movie makes a huge deal out of that Tom Hank's son is the only one that can fix the broken console then completely yadda yaddas how he does it.

Explosion Man pops up in Agents of Shield as an anti-Inhuman terrorist who turns out to be Inhuman. He can reform Doctor Manhatten style after exploding and he's loving terrifying because he's basically immortal. And also exploding.

Aphrodite posted:That's the fun thing about memory. You have no way to know if this is true or not (unless it was recorded), and in many cases it probably isn't. I'm not denying that, but that's not what's happening in movies. The details are always perfect, when the person experiencing them can't have any way of knowing it.

Now I'm trying to think of movies that deal with flashbacks/memories where moat things are blurry/dream-like in how it's shot. Speaking of which, my own memory is starting to fail so even trying to come up with an example of this is difficult.

The guy I'm talking about was a mutant, and was born with the ability to self destruct in an impressive explosion, but that was it. Name's Bailey Hoskins I think. Worst mutant power besides that dude who makes people forget him as soon as they aren't looking at him. Tv Nitro was an inhuman who got transformed by the terrigen crystals. Comic Nitro is just an rear end in a top hat who got experimented on by aliens and got the power to blow up at will. I think iron man once detected a frequency that would set him off and beat him once by just repeatedly detonating him with no downtime. He's also responsible for giving Captain Marvell cancer.

Splice was....wtf is all I can say. It was like something a high school kid would write, something I would expect to see on deviantArt or something. I did watch it, all the way through, mostly because I couldn't believe how batshit bad it was.

Android Apocalypse posted:Now I'm trying to think of movies that deal with flashbacks/memories where moat things are blurry/dream-like in how it's shot. There's a not all that great Robin Williams movie that kind of deals with the fallibility of memory called The Final Cut. People get a neural implant that records memories, and Robin William's character can put together a movie of the person's life after they are dead. It goes into the standard someone witnessed a murder or some poo poo like that, but the one thing I remember about it was a guy coming up after a funeral and saying "I would have sworn my dad's boat was blue" after showing that it was red. There was also something about where he had to edit out all of the time the dude spent whacking off.

My wife loves to read trashy horror novels she can download for free on her Kindle, and I remember one of them the plot line was there was a guy who had to masturbate everyday or else he would turn into a werewolf. My response, and the response of all of my male friends, was that this was a book about a man who was in no danger of turning into a werewolf.

I saw Hudson Hawk last night and I thought it was okay but I can see why people didn't like it. It didn't really lean into the screwball elements until around 30 minutes in; the framing device tries to hit it'll be more like that in the beginning but you've got a solid block in the beginning being what appears to be a mediocre con roped into a job story.

Feels a lot like The Old Guard in how noticeable better than the material everyone is. Species has an IIMM. You know those scenes where someone is driving and a song is playing on the soundtrack, then when they park it cuts to an outside shot where the song is muffled until they open the door like the song was on the car stereo? Species does that. Except the car being driven is a convertible with the top down, so the music shouldn't be muffled.

The Chubacabra is a direct result of Species as the first eye witness account is literally just a description of the creature from Species by someone who had recently watched the film.

I got bored enough to order "The Informer" from amazon's "in theater" gimmick thing. It was ok, but just kind of paint by numbers. No character seems fully committed to their role, and the central premise of the movie where he is meant to smuggle drugs in to prison goes up in smoke in like 10 minutes. The dumbest part is: his plan to escape prison, which involves taking a guard hostage into a room that has oxygen tanks for some reason, then drawing a line with amarker on the floor to somehow set it up so the sniper, who is not even there yet, will shoot through the tank, setting up an explosion that allows him to fake his own death and escape i want my 19.99 back.

Species was fun where Splice just made you go "Huuuuh." Species: scientists get sent DNA order from space, assemble it into a little girl, who is kept in a lab, escapes and literally cocoons up and becomes a mid-20's woman out like a cougar on Spring Break. All attempts for her to get laid fail in various dark humor ways, while scientists chase her down and a hired empath stares at a bloody room and says "something bad happened here." Oh, and she does get knocked up, has her baby within...15 minutes? Then both die in fire, and rats devour the corpses and get alien DNA tongues? Splice: scientists made their own DNA thing with lady scientist's DNA, end up with a rat-scorpion-thing that ends up with gills and wings in constant loving evolution. They take alien-daughter to where the lady scientist was raised (in some derelict farmhouse) and vary between treating alien-child like a child or a test subject. At one point mom-scientist ties down said alien-child and chops her tail off. And then alien-child, now an adult, "seduces" her father figure, then undergoes a sex change via cocoon, kills male scientist father figure, rapes and impregnates mother scientist, and movie ends with mother scientist pregnant with her grandchild? I also want to know more about the werewolf-unless-I-masturbate dude because is that the main point of the story? Or is he a random side character?

Ending of supernatural: Castiel earned being God more than Jack. He kind of biffed it when he cheated his way into it, but he's gone through a lot and has learned what to do and what not to do. Jack meanwhile could throw a tantrum and destroy the whole universe and he'd be like oh golly jeeze winchesters I did it again just like I killed your mom.
