Pope Corky the IX posted:If you really want to know how loving obsessed he is with it, after Chris Farley died and Dreamworks had to scrap all his voice work for Shrek (he had completed something like 90%) they hired Myers for the character. He originally used a different accent and recorded all the dialogue for it. Then he came back in and demanded to re-record everything with the Scottish accent, costing them another $5 million. As I recall, he did it in the over the top Scottish voice. Then they had him re-do it completely straight. Then they had him re-do it in a lesser Scottish voice. It was a cluster after Farley died. I don't remember where I read that. It might have been back when listservs were a thing. I used to be on the CGChar list so we'd always get inside scoops on what was happening in animation realtime.

You say it's not in "brownface", but what else would you call the ludicrous beard, offensive accent, and bullshit head-wobbling schtick that he does? Not to mention the ""Mariska Hargitay" hahaha that sounds foreign and funny, just like a currymuncher" would say joke? I get what you are trying to say, insomuch as he wasn't wearing facepaint. But still, it was a thoroughly racist and minstrelly portrayal of Indians.

In modern(ish) movies where the theme is "family roadtrip" like Vacation and the thing I'm currently rewatching (I really don't know why, I hate it and I've seen it like 5 times), RV, it bugs me when a lot of the jokes are based on rented stuff not working right. Like in Vacation with the GPS thing starts yelling at them in Korean (or whatever it was). RV has similar jokes with "lola" the GPS voice. Also if Robin Williams was that bad at driving the RV,, how did he even get it to the house without any destruction? Was he just pretending to be bad and destroying his/his neighbor's property to make his family laugh? He also seems to be totally unaware of how RVs work at RV parks - wouldn't they give you a manual if you rented one of these things that covers the basics like emptying the sewage tank? And how many shots of the dumb ad on the side of the RV do we really need?

It does lead to some pretty decent scenes, but it just seems too...fair. Like this guy has stalked you all night trying to murder you/your family, just take the cheap shot when it's there. Don't give them the chance to deflect the blow with their hands or dodge it or whatever. Save your clever "time for you to cool off" zinger for after they're incapacitated.

This is like a subset of the general "people saying things during an action scene which they wouldn't have time to say or that nobody would be able to hear" problem. Most one-liners fall into that category. Movies do it all the time for the sake of the audience but it is super unrealistic.

Movie's not going to last very long if the protagonist makes sure to finish the job after momentarily knocking down the villain "Haha, now I have the advantage! Anyway, see you around!"

Just jam a trilogy into a whole movie. The first one where the protagonist kills them is the first half hour, when they come back as a ghost or posessing someone that's the second half hour, then when you find out they had a child that also wants to kill you that's the end.

FFT posted:Movie's not going to last very long if the protagonist makes sure to finish the job after momentarily knocking down the villain I was watching a John Wayne movie... Big Jake? I think, where the bad guy acts like he's been shot and flops down, and Wayne starts shooting next to him before he flips over bitching about how he'd shoot a dead man. "To keep him from shooting me? Yes." That always stuck with me and has hosed up the protagonist's reasoning in virtually every horror film I've watched.

The Plucky Teenaged Protags run into the Impervious Mad Slasher in their Impala, knocking him down. Then they back over him again. Then drive over him forward again. Then back over him again. Then one more time forward before making their escape. Mad Slasher isn't dead, of course

The problem there is they didn't check. You have to keep going until it's paste, and then make sure the paste doesn't start reassembling into something.

Most one-liners fall into that category. Reminding me of the opening action scene in Cobra to establish the titular character’s badassness: despite having the bad guy cornered at gunpoint, Detective Cobra puts his gun away. When the villain makes to shoot him, Cobra has the time to throw a switchblade into him, re-draw his gun, and shoot the guy five times. He has like three one-liners in this scene alone.

My favorite is every time the protagonists set up some sort of elaborate plan to get the drop on the villain which always involves shouting very loudly as they run at the villain seconds before making contact, giving them ample time to notice what’s happening and respond to it

Desperado has a good bit where two characters run around a room full of dead bad guys picking up their guns and trying to shoot each other out all the guns they grab are already out of bullets.
