In Tribute they claim they sang the best song in the world to defeat the devil, however Beezleboss is not just not the best song in the world, it's hardly a song at all, they mostly just talk.

The original version of Tribute had Kyle playing a little of the opening to Stairway to Heaven when referencing the greatest song in the world.

I saw a trailer for the Buzz Lightyear movie and it said something like... in 1995 Andy watched a movie. THIS IS THAT MOVIE. Then it goes on to show CG that looks on par with, say, movies in 2022 and absolutely wasn't happening in 1995, you stupid loving movie. Admittedly I haven't seen the movie, but nothing about it leaves me thinking that it's supposed to be a movie anyone, whether in Andy's fictional world or ours could have seen in 1995.

They should have committed and made the special effects look like 1995 special effects. Like the movie looks modern and such but when Buzz gets on his spaceship it switches to look like original toy story

Lightyear for him was the equivalent of a live action movie for us not an animated movie and had top of the line practical effects.

It's not the movie Andy saw. he saw some lovely 90s one that probably started Tim Allen. This is Andy seeing Ninja Turtles in 1990 and getting a toy ninja turtle, then 27 years later whattaya know another Ninja Turtles movie with the same turtles and new voices.

Disney's approach to the whole timeline thing, let alone that people actually remember and like the Buzz Lightyear cartoon they tried to bury because of stupid office politics, has been more or less to gawp and sputter nonsense.

No; specifically the trailer for the movie says this is the movie Andy saw in 1995; not a movie 27 years later.

I mean I'm not a purist and truthfully I don't care. It's just that, when I saw that text, I thought, "Oh, I thought this was a new movie starring that character but actually it's a '1995s era film' throwback, that could be really interesting" but the very next frame proved it to just be marketing or something.

The countdown timer during the final sequence of Mission Impossible: Fallout was 15 minutes, but the entire thing took more like 22. come on, filmmakers.

Yeah, a few more recent movies I can recall at least noting in my head to keep track of a countdown timer. Can't recall the movie but I do remember they kept it on track.

I had a friend who would hold his breath whenever anybody went underwater in a movie to see how long they could last. I've kind of developed the same habit.

Easily explainable in that scenes you’re seeing are happening at the same time, but they aren’t showing them in split screen or whatever. Like when you see Benji and Ilsa are liking through the tents that’s happening at the same time Ethan is trying to drop the payload on the other helicopter. Or whatever that’s just how I explain it to myself

The way around this is to just not have a countdown. I always thought it was neat how in Godzilla vs. the Sea Monster/Ebirah, Horror of the Deep, the self-destruct button is on a column that gradually lowers as it gets closer to detonation. That way you can track how close your imminent death is without wondering if the countdown timer's accurate.

The countdown in Alien was mindblowing when it happened. Yes I am old enough that I saw it in theatres (I was 8 or 9, and had to sneak in). Ripley gets all the self-destruct thingies back into the control box with half a second to spare as everyone in the audiences sits there watching this tired old trope knowing how it ends. Then the countdown continues as Ripley and the audience lose their poo poo.

Predator is coming to mind where the self-destruct bomb has a timer in a totally alien style. (and yet still in LCD style display)

And much like Star Wars' Aurabesh, Yautja is an alphabet/numeral system that tracks directly to what we use in English: Vertically-paired asterisks is an interesting take on segmented displays, for sure stringless has a new favorite as of 07:59 on Jun 28, 2022 |

Maybe with deliberate and major adaptation, but acute triangles where directionality matters would have been way more difficult to adapt than our line-based system   (Not gonna pretend these are 100% accurate, of course, given how unlikely it is that any cuneiform systems hit 1:1 on English letters like that) stringless has a new favorite as of 08:15 on Jun 28, 2022 |

A lot of those look a lot more complicated than most writing systems we're used to. But then again, maybe an ancient Sumerian might find our writing system incomprehensibly overcomplicated. Though back in the day, only a tiny percentage of the population would even be literate. I do wonder if you can track the wider spread of literacy to the development of simpler writing systems. Heck, China literally did that.

I remember a segment in one of the Discworld books where an Asian-coded leader got super frustrated about the calligraphy skill and time it took to craft a word of a poem taking as much time as it took an Ankh-Morpork poet to complete an entire poem Vaguely recall studies showing that, regardless of syllable pace, languages mostly communicate at the same rate. Not true of writing systems. And Ithkuil is an outlier but it was constructed to be an outlier.

The Bear on Hulu was pretty good. If you've seen Shameless it's basically what if Lip wound up being a world class chef and took over a sandwich shop in Chicago. It's well written, well acted and I really enjoyed it all the way up to the end. They struggle the whole first 7 episodes with getting along, forming a team, Carm struggles with money issues and what to do. Finally, by episode 7 it seems like they've gelled and are turning things around and building something. Then surprise! Hey we found all this money all our problems are solved lets shut down the sandwich shop and turn it into a different place. Except the whole season there's little jabs and comments about how the neighborhood is changing because developers are coming in and putting in new high priced stuff and shutting out the little guy. The sandwich shop is one of the last holdouts in the neighborhood for the lifers that have been there, it's a community staple. Then they....just shut it down when they find a bunch of money? wtf.

Guy selling drugs and or guns: Before we start.You got teh money? Protagonist: *flaps a single measley money clip* Yah. I do. Like I'm sorry but you're not even gunna set the bare minimum price or ask how much they're carrying? Or even imply 'yeah nah cheapest we got is 1k /pound of Hyper Coke / Generic Shooty Gun, you better have more in your rear end pocket baby.'??? [I'm watching The Guest 2014 btw, though this is applicable to many other movies too. And ok I spoke too soon for this movie but whatever I'm here to complain!!!!]

Regarding The Bear, none of that season made sense except for it being a prologue to another show they wanted to make, but didn't think they couldn't do from the start (like we needed to have the character development beat over our head). My wife loved it, but only because she loves Lip. But after the spoilered stuff happened (and with no hinting in previous episodes), that all I could think to justify that deus ex machina was this was again just a big set up to the real show they want to do. The real irrational thing about the show is the made-up vintage arcade game having that big enough following to draw that crowd for a tournament.

My IIMM with The Bear is Smoque being mentioned in the same breath as Alinea and Avec. It's just a barbecue joint. Also a River North location is probably not attracting a working class clientele or having drug deals outside.

Yeah the regional stuff I def wouldn't catch. It was easy with Shameless because I'd recognize all the LA locations immediately since they only filmed a chunk of each season actually in Chicago.
