It's commentary on how modern technology is balanced on that knife edge of enabling modern civilization, or murdering us in gruesome fashion.

Ghost Leviathan posted:The old catchphrase is literally 'yiff in hell furf*gs', minus the asterisk. Worth noting here that, at least on 4chan, that was standard terminology when referring to groups of people. newf*g, oldf*g, etc. Assuming it started on 4chan, it's certainly possible that it was a deliberately targetted homophobic remark, but it would have been keeping with the MO if was also just the normal (albeit still homophobic) sense.

I don’t like English/Australian actors playing american characters. ESPECIALLY when I have no idea they are non-American until after the fact. It feels, and I don’t use this term lightly, disingenuous.

One of my favorite parts of the Wire is when McNulty (played by Englishman Dominic West) goes undercover in a brothel posing as a British tourist and puts on an absolutely atrocious English accent.

Watching the Star Wars prequels recently made me realize how little woodwind instruments are used in action-adventure film scores nowadays. It's all strings, brass and maybe piano for sad scenes.

There was one of the films where, hilariously, they activate the self-destruct mechanism and the self-destruct mechanism malfunctions and won't blow up the ship. I mean, we've already established that the ship is one good hard fart away from exploding at all times, constantly, but the *one time* they want it to explode, nooooope.

IShallRiseAgain posted:I highly doubt most people knew much more about furries beyond they were people who like to dress up as animals and have sex in costumes. That's really all they needed to make fun of them. They had a weird, very distinguishing kink that (the most visible ones) turned into the entirety of their public facing identity. There's not really another way for that to play out.

In Encanto, how did Alma know she was having triplets? She wasn't even showing at the time she revealed the news to her husband. They got some magic ultrasound machines I don't know about in 1860s Columbia?

It's not like set in stone or anything but it seems to be a story about the aftermath of the Thousand Day's War. Especially since 50 years later Bruno is making TV/movie theater jokes with his rats. theironjef has a new favorite as of 01:09 on Feb 16, 2022 |

Oh, I got the year mixed up, thought the 'present day' was 1900 not when she got pregnant.

Finally got around to watching Shang-Chi and my IIMM is them just completely forgetting that Ben Kingsley's character existed. We saw him playing dead during the big fight, then the heroes defeat the bad guy, return to the mundane world and sing karaoke. I know he was only there to act as a plot device to get them into the mystical city, but it really annoys me when characters just vanish.

He's also there so they can address how they're basically discarding the "old" Mandarin and Ten Rings in the MCU. There's a short on Disney+ about Kingsley's character, to bridge the gap between Iron Man 3 and Shang-Chi. Which also features a cameo from Justin Hammer (bad guy from Iron Man 2), mostly showing that he's a relationship with his cellmate I guess???

It's crazy that Hammer hasn't shown up again. They kept him alive and everything. I hope he's in Armor Wars and/or Ironheart.

Spider-Man 2, when Dr Octavius debuts his fusion reactor and the reporter asks that weirdly specific question about ensuring the tentacle rig doesn't hack his brain. I like to think that a similar incident happened in the past that prompted this question, what with this being a scifi universe. Also, what was going to happen if it worked? Was he just going to have to stand by and occasionally prod his miniature sun as long as it was on?

I like to think that a similar incident happened in the past that prompted this question, what with this being a scifi universe. I recently rewatched the Toby spiderman trilogy and uh, man. It has aged. Mary Jane is a straight up psychotic bitch in those moves, especially the last two. Also, she ends up soaking wet with no bra on in all of the films, which is frankly speaking, kind of uncomfortable. Aunt Jane has an actual rear end character arc for literally no reason, that ultimately goes nowhere. Jonah Jameson is marvelous for the entirety of the trilogy. Toby is a loving dork who gets bullied by college kids who are clearly well into their thirties in at least two of the films (and rocking marvelous spiky hair). Women screaming everywhere, Holy poo poo. Also extras having no direction so you see people staring into the camera, yawning, picking their nose and poo poo.

I watched Moonfall and it's a perfectly good disaster porn movie, but the main thing bugging me is (big ending spoilers)it's a Roland Emmerich film so naturally the step parent dies, but Halle berry's husband dies as well but I honestly can't recall a point in the film where she says he's an ex. This is weird, because as soon as they land back on earth, she tells the conjuring guy they should get back together. I honestly don't think there's a moment in the film where it's mentioned she's divorced, and there's no way she even knows her (ex?) husband is dead. Just... odd. Fun movie though.

New Texas Chainsaw Massacre remake: What kind of bus doesn't have an emergency exit? Also, the old lady character was an idiot. Yes, I get it, you want to kill him. But why put two girls in unnecessary danger? You now know where he is. Take them to safety and come back. stop getting innocent people killed. Also most of the movie is just goofy - if the bad guy knows he's scary and plays that up, he's just a lame movie stereotype. Someone like leatherface wouldn't care if his victims are scared or not, he just wants to chainsaw them, that's the scary part. The ending is just dumb too. You are in a car, just leave and get the cops involved and let them deal with it. Worst remake of the movie in a long series of awful remakes.

I don't hate Akwafina I laugh at most of her bullshit. I didn't hate the movie but it was completely forgettable -- my friends are hella basic for Disney tho.

Nothing vibranian or chitauri resembles these rings in any way.
