Thanks for the Memory (RD) ripped off for Clues (TNG) And A Fistful of Datas (directed by Patrick Stewart) and Gunmen of the Apocalypse (basically a parody of A Fistful of Datas)

Started watching Pam and Tommy on Hulu I feel like the show might have a tone problem I mean the whiplash between an emotional depiction of child abuse and closeup of Tommy Lee's dick which is voiced by Jason Mantzoukas is significant

credburn posted:I can't stand Mel Brooks films. I never could. I'm sorry, I lied about it. Every time I said Ludicrous speed! and we all laughed, inside I just hated myself. Watch "To Be or Not to Be" The Mel Brooks version is so much better than the original. "Spaceballs" was about the cutoff on Mel Brooks. "Men in Tights" is really pointless. It has it's moments but they're few and far between. The 2,000 year old man was peak Mel Brooks but that was a long time ago. It's still funny to listen to.

LIVE AMMO COSPLAY posted:This is even funnier when you see the angry twitter mob getting upset about their bad movies being lightly ribbed. Lmao people in that thread shrieking mad at jokes about a fake movie. Bananas. IIMM: Lazy writers making every character act like a colossal dickhead to every other character for cheap drama. I tried watching some Korean space show and shut it off halfway through the first episode when all of the characters, who just met, talked nonstop poo poo directly into each others faces before getting on a spaceship to save the earth or something. No one does this why do writers think people act like this. Like yeah, you'll run into an rear end in a top hat every so often but human interaction isn't a constant Hobbesian war of all against all and it pulls me out of a story faster than just about anything else. Such a common trope and so annoying.

IIMM for 2012: In a movie that is ruthless about killing off secondary characters (seriously, it feels like someone dies every scene change), how does the US Chief of Staff survive the film? He's relentlessly dickish about everything whenever he's in a scene, and in a movie like this that usually means you're being set up for a amusing death towards the end. However, he just kinda says "sorry" as the movie ends and that's it? Fifteen minutes earlier he was admitting to brazenly assassinating people in front of a huge crowd!

One of my favorite in-theater moments is when the lady's fiance dies horrible being crunched up between some gears or something, and not three minutes later she's making out with her ex husband. The entire theater started shouting at her, calling her hussy, throwing popcorn. I've never actually seen a theater get so involved with a movie other than at Cats.

Disaster movie San Andreas (2015) positions the rich, new husband/fiance as a coward who panics and leaves his stepdaughter trapped in a car in the parking garage. It's no surprise that he ends up dying, so the divorced parents (The Rock and Carla Gugino) are totally free to get together again at the end of the day. "Alongside a handful of other survivors in small boats, the two manage to cross the wave before it crests, barely avoiding a container ship caught up in the wave. The ship bisects the Golden Gate Bridge's center span in half, killing everyone on the bridge, including Daniel, who is crushed to death by a falling shipping container." Dying like the other people on that bridge wasn't good enough, they had to throw in a container! Mierenneuker has a new favorite as of 23:28 on Mar 3, 2022 |

My Rational Irritating Movie Moment is that I only watched this pile of crap in the cinema because I'd seen Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs the night before and the other choice was one of the Twilight films. I should've just watched Meatballs again.

The only thing I remember about 2012 was the running gag? of every time the protags had to leave it was RIGHT IN FRONT OF A WAVE/EARTHQUAKE/FIREBALL etc. Dunno if it was a gag or not but it did make me laugh.

re: divorced people getting back together in family movies. Mrs Doubtfire is a notable exception, and both Sally Field and Robin Williams had to fight the writers/producers for this. Because whilst the filmmakers wanted to have the divorced couple end up back together as a happy ending, both Mrs Field and Mr. Williams who were divorced argued that this was not realistic, and that kids need to see stuff that shows that parents don't always end up back together.

At the end of Frozen 2, a big dam is broken unleashing a bunch of water that rushes down a river and almost destroys Arendelle. Fortunately, Elsa rides her magic horse and makes an ice wall just in time to save the city. It’s established that the dam is relatively close to the edge of the enchanted forest, at least in sight of it. Elsa is some unspecified distance to the north of said dam. Earlier in the film, we see our characters traveling to the enchanted forest by a drawn cart. We don’t know exactly how far this is either, but presumably they start early in the morning (due to Elsa’s magic awakening the spirits during the previous night), and they spend at least one night on the trail. Horse-drawn carts move at 2-4 MPH and they’re in a hurry, so let’s say they’re going 3 mph. There’s a song earlier that indicates that it’s early fall, but they’re pretty far north, so let’s say only 8 hours of daylight and they only travel during the day. They travel from Arendelle to the enchanted forest, so that’s minimum 24 miles, probably more. I haven’t been able to find great numbers for the speed of water in an uncontrolled dam burst, but one place said 23 miles per hour. So Elsa would have been on that horse for an hour each way, plus the additional distance from the island where she was when the dam broke. But let’s quadruple that speed just in case 23 mph is way off, and say the round trip only took half an hour. Magic horse can run fast, that’s fine. When Elsa gets back, Anna is still standing by the end of the broken dam alone having apparently made no effort to reunite with Mathias and the soldiers, or even move at all as far as we can tell. She doesn’t even know if her friends are alive. But she doesn’t move for HALF AN HOUR? MINIMUM? What the hell? This makes no sense. Who would do that? I’ve seen this movie a hundred times and this bugs me every time. Why yes, I do have small children.

Mission Impossible 2. I can't even remember which of my friends dragged me to it. What at a steaming heap. But it had 2 of my most hated movie issues. 1) The overuse of a gimmick. By the third or fourth time time they used the peel off face with voice chip I was ready to rub popcorn salt in my eyes. 2) Did you pay your continuity editing team with crack? The scene that finally made me walk out was during the big motorcycle chase, you could see everyone was on road bikes of some sort. But when they went onto some dirt, the bikes magically change into motocross bikes. loving hell, you even got a close up shot of the deep knobby tires. I walked out right then, making all kinds of irrational old man noises. This movie is number 3 on my most hated list, right behind K-9 and Louis Male's Damage. Also, gently caress John Woo. Everything he makes is poo poo. I have no idea why he is worshipped as some sort of action movie director god.

From the third time it happened each subsequent iteration got a louder and louder laugh of derision from the audience. I've never heard a theatre full of people poo poo on a movie as hard as that with the possible exception of the "please kill him" prayer scene in Spider-Man 3.
