That picture is actually from an Avtomat. Easy mistake to make.

When you see milkmen in old movies or tv shows that was just the writers way of getting jokes about wife-swapping past the censors.

In TV shows/movies, people seem to answer their doors awfully quick. Like basically as soon as the knocks are done, the door is opening. Does everyone just stand there waiting for guests? I guess that's why they always bust down the door within half a second of yelling "police, open up" - they're used to ultra fast door opening, so if you take a normal amount of time you must be up to no good and need to be stopped.

I watched "I care a lot" and it has the absolute worst protagonists. Like it made you root for Peter Dinklage thinking it was going to be like 'Taken' with him getting his own mom back. But instead you get a Mission Impossible turnaround on him in the last twenty minutes of the film. Great cast but urghhh the protagonists felt insufferable. It would have been one thing if the seniors they were exploiting were terrible boomers in their own right, but that's never even explored. They just rob them blind one after another.

I just watched Judas and the Black Messiah, which was fantastic. My only gripe was that Martin sheen looked awful as J Edgar Hoover. It looked like Martin sheen with some silly putty on his nose.

yeah I eat rear end posted:
I watch this, and it's by far the worst of the three. I quite like the gimmick of everyone being trapped in the room with a demon dude getting closer and closer, but it's so incompetently made. There's no engagement with the actual puzzles. The Deborah Ann Woll one has some pretty lightweight riddles and clues for characters to bicker over, but there's actual drama and tension, and stuff for the characters to talk about. This one has long stretches of characters just shouting "what could it mean?!? we have to look carefully!! see what you can find!!" and its just loving white noise. And the actual puzzles are so obvious that even though we the audience only see em out the corner of our eyes we can easily solve them about 20 minutes before the cast (oh there's some raised symbols on a painting? and a load of symbols on a bit of paper you found? its a combination lock, this should only take you about 5 seconds) But the worst bit is how it keeps cutting outside to the manager of the room stressing about his financial situation and impending divorce and how the cameras has gone out so maaaaybe he's legally liable if anything bad happens. It just saps all the stress from a film about people being locked in a room if we can see a guy debating whether to let them out.

Does everyone just stand there waiting for guests? Frasier I think averts this a lot, the farce structure helps. It's probably more an editing thing, they're not going to spend more time waiting around than necessary unless they want to pad for time. (and most TV shows have plenty of ways of doing that. Your average soap opera episode apparently has more padding than DBZ)

Frasier had the magic kitchen where, despite it being open on two sides, nobody could ever hear what was going on in there and vice versa.

Even Devil, which sucked mighty balls, had the people trying to rescue the people trapped in the elevator. No real hemming and hawing about "oh dear oh no". I can see where that would kill the page if the movie.

You're probably right though. I just remember enjoying it more than the others.

i know there are good storytelling and time-saving reasons we don't see things like people properly saying goodbye on the phone, or people paying taxicabs, or whatever. But for some reason it's starting annoying me that nobody on TV or in movies ever has to pee right when they wake up. Surely it's the first thing almost everyone does in real life. And it's not even that I want to see it. It just annoys me that I don't. I don't know what I want.

Reminds me of a teaser Fox did for 24 back in the day with characters from Family Guy: Peter: I don’t get this 24 show....when does he go to the bathroom? Brian: Do...do you really want to see him go to the bathroom? Peter: ............................................................................yes

Futurama had a joke about that where the regular cryogenics facility staff would try to tell people about the future, but when Fry worked there he knew exactly what they wanted to hear about- “Bathroom’s that way!”

Such a bummer that show got cancelled. It was really good and I liked the way that the superpowers all had downsides that made sense instead of just being some arbitrary superhero weakness.

The only diabetic kid plot I can remember is Panic Room, which I actually liked because if it weren't for that I would have been annoyed and coming here to post "why didn't they just stay in the panic room the whole time".
