I watched the Raid tonight. You'd never be able to stab somebody deep enough with a broken fluorescent light bulb tube to do any life threatening damage. It would be more likely to shatter in your hand. And forget about applying any kind of lateral force to perform a cutting motion.

Why does the Mandalorian, who never shows anybody his face, have a mustache? That’s a deliberate style choice.

Wouldn't be surprised that Mandalorians of his stripe consider their personal appearance a bit of a quiet hobby, considering they don't expect to show it. We don't see enough characters shave. Someone's personal grooming is interesting to see, it says so much about them given context.

In Public Enemies they show Johnny Depp shaving with a double edge safety razor so Dillinger must have been a loving hipster.

Incredibly irrational: I cannot stand it any time any show or movie or anything uses the exact same alarm clock sound as my alarm clock. Instantly takes me out of the action because part of my brain is going "ahhhhhh gently caress i'm awake aaahhhhhh"

In the final act of Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, there are three trials Indy has to go through in order to reach the chamber where he'll find the holy grail. The hint for the first one is that only the penitent man will pass. Indy figures out that he needs to kneel at the very last second, and ducks under a horizontal blade intended to kill anyone who remains standing. He also does a quick somersault to avoid a vertical blade that comes up from the floor. What gives?! That's some rude-rear end poo poo. If someone were merely penitent, they'd get killed for no good reason! The clue says nothin' about being a penitent Dark Souls player, who would instinctively dodge roll just because they can. I mean, I get that the holy grail is an artifact deserving of the strongest defenses, sure, but don't hand out misleading clues, guys. I'd consider complaining about that nazi's clothes rapidly aging, too, but I'm willing to accept that they did it cause it looked cooler. Also, I think he spilled down himself while drinking anyway, so let's just say the effect works on clothes, too.

It really messes up what is the will of god (that a sneaky midwestern ninja would do that because he was the chosen one) and the technicalities of how to spell in Latin. Or not really having faith in a beautiful optical illusion and leap but rather scatter sand on it. Which btw, Jones, didn't work out with you before with the sand bag why even keep that tradition going?

If he had just knelt he would have been fine. The last vertical blade is to take out anyone who prays like a muslim.

The temple was constructed by the crusaders who found the grail in the first place. Setting up the trap to deliberately kill both Muslims and Orthodox would be very in character for crusaders.

Why is Tim Curry immediately suspicious of Kevin in Home Alone 2? The kid walks in and is talking to the lady at the front desk, and from across the room Curry's first thought is to tell Rob Schneider to find out everything he can about him.

So I don't know where to put this but I finally got around to watching Joker and uh...it's really good.  I know it caught a lot of initial gushing praise and then a bunch of backlash but I don't see the problem people have with it. Which I guess is my IIMM in reverse.Joaquin Phoenix knocks it out of the park, the direction is fantastic and, despite the trailers, it's not nearly as derivative as I was led to believe. I guess it was cool to dig it, then cool to hate it and then kind of agreed upon to land in the middle on it but I think they did a really good job and it's one of the more engaging films I've seen in a while. I suppose the protagonist doesn't NEED to be The Joker but I actually felt that aspect added to the film.

There wasn't any backlash. What happened was, a bunch of people kept saying, based on the trailer, that the movie would be some kind of incel manifesto and inspire a mass shooter. Many of them even cited a long-debunked rumor about the Aurora shooter dressing up as the Joker when he shot up The Dark Knight Rises. Then the movie came out and turned out to largely be about class warfare and social alienation, and the worst thing it did was turn a staircase into a tourist attraction.

From what I saw of the Joker, it was Taxi Driver (2019), does that mostly track? Wrt themes of classism and social alienation, not specific plot points, of course.

I didn't like it just because the joker is a villain that has been done to death (literally, in one case). He's just not interesting. Mr freeze, the penguin, now those are villains I'd like to hear more about (as long as they are portrayed by arnold and danny devito again).
