Is that thing they do with all ambulances (or similar emergency response/law enforcement vans) in movies/tv where they bang twice on the door after the close it a real thing? Can't the driver see that on their own somehow, do they really need the *bang bang* to know when to drive off?

I've heard it came from military ambulances which had big latches so you had to signal to the driver that the latch was closed and not just the door.

Midnight Mass: Why didn't all the survivors just get on rowboats like the kids did after they sank all the other boats, and just wait things out until dawn? They didn't have to paddle 30 miles to the mainland, they just needed to wait till sunup? Based on how things shook out, there would have been a revolt between the Monsignor and Bev anyway and they might not have needed to deal with the rec center. Nobody else had guns so they'd be pretty helpless in there if the non infected came back and burned down the building to finish them off. How exactly did Paul manage to get all the way back to the island? He says "I lied and bribed my way back" but he's operating under an alias that doesn't match with a geriatric monsignor that traveled to Israel. He came with a group and it would have been very suspicious for him to never return. The same lie of "oh he's with me he's just sick no you can't see him" doesn't seem like it would work as well with people that knew the monsignor well and have never met the 'new guy'. I feel like you could make a horror-comedy in itself of this nervous Catholic priest having to smuggle an Angel? Vampire? in a trunk from Israel all the way to Virginia. When Paul got attacked his 'full conversion' took weeks? Months? Yet everyone else that got bit/drank vampire blood immediately had light vulnerability. Why did it kick in so much faster?

"People should make entertainment based on original ideas" is a message of Free Guy. Then the movie not only shows Captain America's shield, Hulk's fist and a lightsaber (complete with music from Star Wars) in one scene but throws in a cameo from Chris Evans.

Free Guy is the exact movie the trailers showed almost in full. The only thing that I was curious about was how the romance would end. Wouldn't pay $10 for it but if you find it on a streaming service and have nothing else to watch, it'll do.

The person who wrote it seems to only know what videogames are like based on the ads mobile games get. The only references are the terrible Disney promotion stuff. Its also feels like somewhat of a Lego movie rip-off but way worse.

I loved it for what is was, which is a Ryan Reynolds movie with taika waititi meets saints row. It was fun. Wasn't an Oscar winning must see life changing movie, but it was enjoyable. Oddly good with the whole technical aspects of how computers work, for some parts. Not so much in others. Watched VHS94 and... I mean, it was kinda good to aggressively mediocre, but the overall story that takes place during the anthology is just pointless and weird. In the past movies it's at least been somewhat paranormal or spooky or at the very least coherent, this one is like they just threw random poo poo at the wall to see what would stick.

Its not a nostalgia orgy like RPO but it definitely does have its fair share of references. There's a bunch of cameos by famous twitch streamers, they use a portal gun, etc. Its a movie about video games so yeah, its up its rear end a bit but its fun if you like Ryan Reynolds whole thing

That Italian Guy posted:I think everyone else got killed on the spot either violently or by poison and resurrected as a vampire after their deaths; he was spared by the vampire so he could act as his "ghoul" and not be affected by the sun while he was smuggling him out of Israel. I guess he died by "vampire blood toxicity" after a while. I think the Monsignor "died" by drinking poison since he had the same foaming at the mouth reaction the others had later. Maybe he didn't really consider it suicide since he knew he'd come back to life.

Didn't some movie execs in the 90's want to do a Harriet Tubman movie and have Julia Roberts play her? Out of touch seems the norm.

Squid Game: this could have easily just been a movie. Cut out everything between the first and last games and we wouldn't miss much. also the board looks nothing like a squid, And more importantly, the rules of the game aren't even followed in the last game except for the first 5 seconds. It just ends up being a knife fight. The show had an interesting premise but blew its entire load on the first episode. I give it a 4/10 A few seconds after I said that they did the classic "final stab but actually not" cliche. 2/10 yeah I eat ass has a new favorite as of 03:09 on Oct 11, 2021 |

First episode of Squid Game, before anything gets going: Seong is picked up in a van with sleeping passengers. When he gets in, the van sprays him with sleeping gas. According to some Cracked article I read years ago, sleeping gas isn't really a thing, as very small vagaries would mean the difference between getting slightly buzzed and getting dead, but I can usually forgive it for the sake of expedience. What irritates me is that everyone before the last guy would be getting gassed multiple times, with someone in there getting quintuple-gassed.
