Pope Corky the IX posted:I'm just so exhausted with how often the mere appearance of an Elvis or someone dressed like Elvis is treated as the entire joke. That's because Elvis himself was a joke. His name comes from the Gealic word for "Rock" you can't expect me to believe that he actually existed because that's far too on the nose.

Antidote - if you have access to a serum that cures everything up to and including death, why do all the doctors bother wearing traditional surgery safety gear like masks and gloves etc? They certainly aren't as sterile as real surgeons, but aside from the aprons preventing them getting blood on their clothes I'm not sure what the point is of keeping up the whole "hospital" act.

I'm re-watching HBO Rome and oh boy, if you binge watch it Lucius Vorenus changes more roles in a day than a pantomime actor. Over 13 episodes (12 in season 1 and one in season 2) he becomes: - A centurion - A merchant - A prefect - An enforcer - A butcher - A magistrate - A senator (!) - A crime boss (!!!) It's a pity cause I liked the "average Joe" slice of life scenes he and Pullo are in at the beginning, but things start getting out of hand quick.

My favourite little moment with him is when they're stranded without real hope of rescue on an island. Vorenus starts angrily carving a message to his wife Niobe and Pullo asks if he can add a message for his own girlfriend. Vorenus, crossly, "If there's space."

Rome is so good but the second season suffers so much for having three extra seasons of plot shoved into it.

In the new Suicide Squad I appreciate that the CGI birds represent actual species that exist in reality (its weirdly common in media to just make up fake birds, fish, bugs, etc for some reason) but Western Tanagers don't live on tropical islands nor are they carnivorous scavengers and I'm livid. Also lorikeets are endemic to australia, you idiots, you absolute buffoons. And don't get me started on the Eurasion Eagle Owl in The Ballad of Buster Scruggs. lmao cmon, immersion ruined

The newest escape room movie isn't half bad. Way better than the first one, anyway. My only big irritation is there's an acid trap, that melts plastic and metal like crazy, but barely blisters skin. Acids don't work that way. Other than that though, surprisingly decent film considering how loving bad the first one was.

Acids definitely melt metal better than skin although anything corrosive enough to melt metal while you’re watching is also corrosive enough to gently caress up skin pretty good so it’s kind of an academic distinction.

Yea, I mean I can buy laser traps that burn people and cut through anything in seconds, cause at least that, while not plausible, does at least seem to be science fictiony enough to fit into a movie where physics barely exists. That, though, just seemed a lil too weird to me. Fits the thread though. I'm kinda irrationally irritated don't breathe 2 exists where it makes the blind rapey guy the "hero" (protagonist at least) of the story, but then again I watched all the nightmare on elm street movies, which starred a burn victim pedophile terrorizing children in their dreams, so it's not like Hollywood hasn't done the bad guy as the movie's lead before.

Shang Chi spoilers Shang Chi's aunt has tailor made costumes for him and his sister despite living in a secret forbidden village she has never left. She has also never met them as adults or as kids and knowing they even exist is debatable(I guess the mom could have gone back to visit once in a while)

While waiting to head out, I had an hour to flick through the hotel tv channels and they were showing Rome - the episode where Caesar meets Cleopatra. But because it was in China, they edited out all the violence and sex. The episode was about twenty minutes long. That is my story of the one time I watched Rome. Thank you for your time.

About fifteen years ago TBS in the US decided to show edited episodes of Sex and the City because the show had become so popular on HBO. This meant some episodes were cut from about thirty minutes down to around twenty due to the content. In fact, there was an episode where one of the characters get addicted to a vibrator and she’s completely edited out of the TBS version.

I caught Pulp Fiction on tv in Bangkok once, and not only do they cut out every reference to smoking and the entire scene where Vince shoots up, after the scene where Vince and Mia are at the restaurant, it cuts straight to them in the car driving back from dealing with the overdose at the dealer's house. Just two people heading home from a nice night oh wait why does she look like a recently deceased person?

I can remember Family Guy fans complaining when Sky first started showing it in the UK because they were just cutting all the offensive jokes so they could show it straight after the Simpsons on an afternoon, which was honestly pretty funny given that the show's audience is only watching it for the offensive jokes

Probably posted before but there is no movie in existance where tracing a criminal's phone call ever works. Even if they somehow trace something it is a payphone with mocking message or a trap.

There's lots of goofy things in Lynch's Dune, but that's a nice alien setpiece - this is not our world. Not to spoil as it's one of those 'once heard, never unhearable' things but he sounds spot-on like Beavis at one point.

Pretty sure the Big Hit had a scene in which there's a trace on some kidnappers, who employ a trace buster, but the guys on the other end (also bad guys I think?) employ a trace buster, but then the kidnappers are using a trace buster-buster, but aw dang there's a trace buster-buster-buster in the mix so it works. Literally the only thing I remember from the movie.

I think the original script had him molesting kids but I guess there had been a string of child molestations around that time and they thought it was in poor taste so they changed it so he was "just" murdering them. The godawful remake had him be explicitly a chomo.

A lot of that is using syndication versions of the show, and for the Simpsons there are more than a few. A good example recently has been the Lowmer meme, which came from a cut away joke that was apparently cut out of certain American TV versions for time, so some people didn’t know where it was from at first.
