I'm almost certainly too emotionally invested in such a stupid show but the celebrity helpers are so dumb sometimes in I Can See Your Voice. The premise of the show is that 6 singers lip sync to various songs and some singers are good and others are bad and the contestant has to eliminate the bad ones. The key is that the good singers lip sync to their own singing but everyone is lip syncing. Every loving episode one of the celebrities says poo poo like 'oh they look so fake!' That's cause it is fake you dumbass, no one is actually singing so just because they're bad at lip syncing doesn't make them a bad singer. I just saw an episode where they eleminated a dude because he looked like a chubby Rick Astley but had a deep voice and his thing was singing sea shanties on tiktok. Apparently no one on the show even knew that that was a real thing. I only knew because I played too much Assassin's Creed but still. When Nick Lachey was on, he called every singer correctly at least.

Another one from ghost busters afterlife (big ending spoilers ahoy) but it kinda bugged me that Gozer didn't recognize the guys. I mean, from their (gozer, cause gently caress if I know what their pronouns are) perspective, they just got defeated by 4 dudes off a temple, so when they pop back out, EVEN IF IT HAS BEEN 20 YEARS, the challengers are wearing the same uniform, same everything, just older. They even act like they know you. You'd think a god would pay more attention 🤔. Why ask redundant questions and bother to even converse? Just skip ahead to the giant marshmallow dude and bring the pain. The other is how did the guys who made the temple know that gozer was gonna get their rear end beat at least twice before they popped up at the final carving date? What kinda all powerful god gets their rear end whooped at least 3 times before they potentially get it right? . Yes I am fully aware this is picking the tiniest of nits, but it fits the thread. I still liked the film

My mom has started watching Downton Abbey, and one thing I find funny as gently caress, in this series as well as any show or movie where a male heir is needed is that as soon as a son is born, everyone celebrates and says they are safe now forever...when in DA, in the same season the last heir died in a car wreck, a grown daughter dies in childbirth, and oh, the series starts with the heir dying on the Titanic. So it's clear just HAVING a son born means gently caress all, he actually has to live long enough to sire another son.

i tried to watch the new resident evil but it was "confusing": theres a scen early one where the prodigal sister returns home by lockpicking her family home. naturally her brother is a cop, & when he catches her he's all pissed off, but they dont really look angry, even kinda smiling in some shots. oh its the movie brother sister thing, its their internal sarcasm or something, but no they stay pissed at each other the whole scene without looking angry at any point. at best they look annoyed for a couple seconds near the end of the scene.

how long would it take you to notice ants making a pattern in the way they walk around more than once? how long would it take you to notice ants setting up a particle beam pointed in your direction after the first time it happened?

So it's clear just HAVING a son born means gently caress all, he actually has to live long enough to sire another son. It's really just a soap opera with a thin layer of costume drama. It's like Ferrero Rocher chocolates, a fancy package on a rather plain product. My mother loves it, but she never watches it on a streaming service. She watches it on two different TV channels which are airing episodes totally out of sync from another. So you can see one servant being arrested for murder, and you'll have to guess if it's the first or the second time it happens. Mierenneuker has a new favorite as of 11:08 on Jan 8, 2022 |

I have very few nits to pick with Ghostbusters: Afterlife. Yeah, it does go more in the Stranger Things, Spielbergian direction than 80s cynicism, but if it had followed the originals beat-for-beat, I don't think it wouldn't have worked today. I think hardcore fans of the original are deluding themselves if they think it would have been better like that. The above mentioned spoilers don't really bother me, I feel like there are decent in-universe explanations. And prophecies don't always have to make perfect sense, they're mystical and vague for a reason. I do have one irrational nit to pick, though. Why the fireman's pole to the secret basement? I know it's mostly fan service, a callback to the original, but unlike the others, it seems a little crammed in. Then again, it could be explained by Egon's nostalgia for the firehouse, or maybe a fond memory of Ray's enthusiasm. But it does end up being just a hair much of a callback.

I was watching with commentaries the other day and they mentioned a couple of specific scenes where it was done in a tone that suggested it actually only had to happen now and then, but that's too bad. I hope in that case they're going to let him go without the contacts for season 2 cuz it seems really uncomfortable for the actor if it's not going to work anyway.

Now that I had a night to sleep on it, in Soider-Man: No Way Home Peter asks Dr. Strange to cast a spell so that everybody forgets about Peter Parker. Why didn't he ask for everybody to forget about Spider-Man? He then could come up with a completely new superhero persona.

A whole lot of them seemed a little crammed in, and that was my only problem with the movie. Like, why does the bad guy have to be Gozer again? There's an entire multiverse of villains, why do you have to pick the same one? For that matter, why marshmallow men? I mean, the giant Stay Puft only showed up because Gozer told the GBs to choose the form of the Destructor, and Ray picked Stay Puft. In this one, Gozer's not even active yet, but a random Walmart randomly has its marshmallows coming to life. I don't mind references, but you don't need to keep the same plot points. One thing that seemed weird to me, and maybe it's just covid sensitizing me to it, but I thought this movie was filmed pre-covid and then just shelved for a while. But watching the movie it seems like it was filmed during covid, because it's just so empty of people.

It's set in bumfuck nowhere and the biggest local employer went out of business years ago. Presumably some of the remaining people are people are out of town too, since it's summer vacation time.

Regarding the references and callbacks, they way I see it, after the original movies, Egon kept digging into the myths surrounding Gozer. Obviously you can't just defeat an ancient Sumerian god that easily, so he moved to Summerville specifically because of Ivo Shandor and the mine, hoping to prevent the prophesized return of Gozer in 2021. As for the mini Stay-Pufts, they appeared when Vinz Clortho zoomed into the store. I figure it's a remnant of the last time Vinz and Zuul were active, they're wittingly or unwittingly bringing back parts of those events. Thankfully I have not watched the Despicable Me films and no one I know got on the minions craze, so I don't find the mini Stay-Pufts annoying, just a bit silly and surprisingly gruesome. And that's about enough spoilers. Watch the movie, everyone

Meander: can movies that are just allegories for death/grief or purgatory masquerading as horror movies go away? It was kind of cool at first but it's just lazy now.

I'm picturing a slicker, shinier aesthetic; get some big names in there maybe The Rock and Chris Pratt; give them sexier jobs because nobody wants to watch some story about depressing homeless people day labouring! Using Google glasses as the special glasses will really help out with marketing synergy and brand messaging, and we can make the main bad guy a Trump analogue because we want to make They Live but this time it'll have a message about social issues attached to it! It'll average 1 star on IMDb and gross three hundred million dollars more than the original.

I always confuse They Live with the evil mutant baby movie It Lives. But then I remember that It Lives wasn't a movie, the movie was It's Alive, and the sequel was It Lives Again. And then I am irrationally irritated.
