Ardent Communist posted:Plus, was she tip toeing? They established that just her moving around causing small ground tremors and a thumping noise. but when she's indoors nothing? Still a great movie and a great scene, but it's a bit odd. See, I'm comfortable with this. The tremors were noticeable and significant in otherwise quiet moments, but at this point in the movie Ellie, Alan and the kids are fleeing for their lives from extremely dangerous (and loud) predators, and I can take the camera not signalling the rex's approach as visual shorthand for the characters being a little too busy to notice it either. That kind of behind-the-black shenangianry happens at a couple of other points in the film, too, though I wouldn't call it a vital element of the movie's visual style like I would with The Good, The Bad and The Ugly.

John Boyne is a big stupid bitch. He's certainly transphobic and I would argue antisemitic. gently caress John Boyne. I'm not saying anything new here, but gently caress it, I don't care.

The point isn't that the plants are poisonous. The park vet says at the beginning of the scene that they know it's poisonous, but they've never seen the dinosaurs eat them. The triceratops is only getting sick because it's swallowing the rocks underneath the plants, which is a natural behavior for a triceratops that nobody knew about when they created this artificial environment and dropped them into it. THAT's the point of the scene, and that's the part they cut out Also, John Boyne sucks

Notably in the opening shootout in No Time to Die, but it's a common thing in movies with gunfights in public (also kind of ties into the whole "if it's off-screen it's completely undetectable" thing except for passersby): Oh, so now that the gigantic gunfight has moved 10 feet closer to you you're panicking? Not before? "This is fine, most enormous bouts of gunfire stay isolated to the courtyards they start in, just gonna continue about my day OH poo poo RUN"

LIVE AMMO COSPLAY posted:I was wrong. Samuel l Jackson explains it. Isn't this something brought up in the beginning, but then never again? Because I recently rewatched The Lost World, and the lycene is a minor plot point. When Ian Malcolm asks Hammond about it, Hammond says they don't know how the dinosaurs are surviving. They only find out when they land on the island, and Julianne Moore's character tells them that the lycene comes from certain plants. The herbivors eat the plants, the carnivores eat the herbivores, everybody lives. Can't help but feel that somebody pointed out that the implication of the first film was that all the cool dinosaurs we just saw are doomed at the end of the film, and Spielberg wanted to fix that.

King's Man: basically everything about it, of course, but this particular IIMM occurs just about a third of the way through. The scene takes place somewhere between June and December 1916, and Rasputin does the Beryozka Glide as he enters it. Here's a video for an example of the technique, which is fundamentally "hide your feet from sight and take very small, quick steps while keeping your upper body from bobbing to give the appearance of floating": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gwbcTYQ84dU Rasputin justifiably insults the English main characters as of this point only to receive a solid retort: Rasputin (Ifans): "Are you waiters or Englishmen? Whatever you are, get me a loving drink." Oxford (Fiennes): "Are you a monk or a ballet dancer? I see you've mastered the Beryozka Glide. Why don't you glide over there and get me a loving drink?" Problem: as far as I can tell, the Beryozka Glide was invented in 1948 (by Nadezhda Nadezhdina). Ballet, correct. Timeline, way off. Obviously, this movie isn't trying to be historical, the primary villain's motives were already spoiled for me, but still, come on! It was enough of a timeline fuckup that it's pulled me out of the movie for like half an hour trying to figure out how they hosed this up so badly i really hope someone got fired for this blunder

gently caress (still on King's Man) about halfway through, Woodrow Wilson orders "Statesman on the rocks", referring to a bourbon invented to tie in to Kingsmen 2 for more appeal here in the US from Old Forester stock.

Double death to everyone who drinks whisky as shots. If the only way you can drink something is to slam it back, then maybe just don't bother, just get some cheap nasty poo poo and do what you want. Ice dulls the flavor and puts way too much water in the whisky. Just drink it neat, savor it and optionally add just a bit of water as needed to open up the flavor.

Ice chills the whisky and numbs the taste buds, and the dilution is uncontrolled. Unless you drink it fast, you'll end up with a watery bland mess, and whisky just isn't meant to be drunk quickly. It's a purely American and Hollywood invention by people who fundamentally don't understand whisky. Just drink it neat, with a bit of water if you want, to open the flavor a bit. You'll get so much more of the flavor.
