800peepee51doodoo posted:I've probably posted this before but is it Movie Law that every single horror film is required to have an overhead drone shot of a car driving on a forest road? I know you think its super cool your cousin got a DJI Phantom or whatever but please discover new ways of doing establishing shots you loving hacks Agreed. Even with some of them being alright and a nice view, it's still done so much and normally adds nothing. As far as the cousin's car goes a cheap jump scare of almost getting into an accident with a dick in a muscle car during a normal conversation by the main characters driving is a shot that could work well to shift ppl's heartrate during character development. But that would require planning character development which often get's left at QuirkySisters, CollegeFriends, HolidayCouple etc.

I just rewatched The Spy Who Loved Me, which is one of the best Bond movies with one of the best Bond movie themes and one of the coolest Bond cars. 1. Bond's car has a gadget that drops a landmine. Thing even looks like the archetype of land mines. Except that this one doesn't explode if you put pressure on it, it explodes as soon as it hits the ground. This seems less than ideal. 2. I love that the bad guy's number two option for killing Bond, between "Motorcycle equipped with a rocket-propelled sidecar bomb" and "Helicopter gunship piloted by a really hot lady" is "four dudes in a sedan firing handguns out the windows." 3. Bond sits down across the *very long table* from the bad guy, who, surprise, has a gun under the table. But there's also a ridiculously, comically long barrel under the table:  Which okay, a conventional gun wouldn't need that, but this seems to be some kind of rocket launcher. I mean, it's definitely not a conventional firearm:  But then Bond evades the rocket, and puts the barrel of *his* gun into the tube and fires, killing the Bad Guy. But the tube has the bad guy's gun at the end of it! The shot wouldn't hit him, it'd be blocked by the rocket-gun. Also it takes Bond four shots to put the guy down and he's still moving. .32ACP is a toy.

Minor Barbarian spoilers (shown/implied in the trailer but I know some people avoid trailers): Massive underground earthworks somehow carried out secretly. How are they disposing of the spoils? The amount of material removed would require hundreds of haul trucks! He carved extensive tunnels through stone by hand? Excavating tunnels is insanely difficult work and its basically impossible for an individual to do on the scale shown in the film. I know I'm doing a tactical realism about a fun monster movie but my job deals with large scale earthworks and it was driving me a tiny bit crazy

I always see stuff like that in movies and trailers and I dunno why but I ALWAYS wonder "How in the blue gently caress has his and everyone else's house not dropped into a massive sinkhole?". I mean it's gotta rain sometime and unless you are shoring up the walls and going full coal mine on the setup, it's not gonna hold much weight if there's a 5 foot tunnel dug out all around the joint. I also wonder where in the hell they get those submarine doors or big vault doors in the basements. Haven't seen this movie but I've seen a few where there's this gigantic gently caress off safe style wall in some dudes basement somewhere. I think it was in the second collector movie for example. Dunno, but that always made me wonder.

In There Will Be Blood, shouldn't Eli have offered the drilling rights to the Bandy tract to basically anyone other than Daniel? Plainview said his wells there were still pumping. He hadn't finished drinking their milkshake yet. Or is that the point, that even then Eli was too stupid to save himself?

Sure, your labor issues are somewhat mitigated by having some weird mutants that can rip people apart with their bare hands doing some work but unless they eat dirt and stone it doesn't help the mass balance problem Stupid_Sexy_Flander posted:I always see stuff like that in movies and trailers and I dunno why but I ALWAYS wonder "How in the blue gently caress has his and everyone else's house not dropped into a massive sinkhole?".

They do have shoring but there is an absurd amount of engineering required in tunneling for precisely that reason. Although I guess if you're building tunnels for horror movie reasons, you can get away with a really low factor of safety

I think it was in Andromeda Strain, when they get to the secret underground facility, the government guy says half the cost of the construction was landscaping all the roads and surrounding areas to hide the fact that thousands of people had been working there with massive earth moving equipment. Which is still the only time I've ever seen a movie or show acknowledge how much work would go into that part of things.

I think it was in the sci-fi wi-fi lovely technology thread that someone had a very entertaining extended bitching session about how the Stargate is ridiculously dangerous and classic engineer-brain design. But then again, ancient aliens clearly never invented OSHA.

I mean, I kinda get it. They managed to design a door that will kill you if you open it without being 20 feet away from it. Also, if you happen to be nearby your own and someone decides to open your door, you are just hosed. It's kinda like how the empire managed to build a space station the size of a moon but still has no rails around giant drops into nothingness. I mean, yea it's an awesome feat of engineering but holy gently caress if you walk and text you are gonna die.

At least with the Empire, it shows complete disregard for the rear end in a top hat peasants who were forced to built and work in their death machine. It's like, "Oh no, there are no *safety precautions* in the thing that makes genocide happen with the flip of a switch!" If Palpatine had had more time to play with his toy, he would have eventually developed a switch that would kill the guy who flipped it, and his entire family.

In fairness the vast majority of stargates are operated from a console that is out of the way of the murder beam so it seems kinda like cargo lifts that only have the controls on the outside, if you manage to get killed by it you were probably trying to.

Also when the actual ancients use it there's no kawoosh. One of the human scientists mentions they ignore thousands of warning signals whenever they fire up their jury-rigged stargate.

Yeah I mean it's kinda like complaining that a jet will kill you if you happen to be standing behind it when it takes off. The safety precaution is not about having black and yellow railing with danger signs dangling behind the jet's tail, it's about not letting people near it when it starts its engine. The part about someone opening the door from the other side stands  although I guess once upon a time there was probably someone at the console on both ends playing the "control tower" guy to avoid that.
