no need for gratuitious sex or teenagers loving. i want scenes like this in my adventure movies:

Gonna need to hear that fistfight story. I have a funny story - not at all violent but since we were talking about Terminator 2 it's still topical. I wonder if we should take this elsewhere or continue posting about it ITT?

I also thought the 3D in Avatar looked great in theatres. Couldn't comment on it on TVs, since I don't know anyone loaded enough to have bought a 3D TV when they were briefly very popular. But the IMAX 3D experience was something else; that opening shot flying above the trees gave me legitimate vertigo to the point of gripping the armrests.

Hands down, though, the BEST 3D theatre experience I've ever had, which I will absolutely jump at if it ever comes back to IMAX, was TRON: Legacy. I got tickets early enough to pick the sweet spot in the theatre (IIRC it's around rows J and K, seat 20), and the 3D treatment was astonishingly good and so fitting for the film. The shot where Flynn's son gets 'digitized' into the Grid and the whole screen pops out into these cubical pixels made me swoon. It was so loud but mixed perfectly, the music was so good... it was literally such sensory overload that my legs were shaking for like ten minutes after I left the theatre.

Long story short, dude wanted to look like a tough guy in front of his date when I asked them to be quiet.

I'm fine with making movies about love (or tits even. Remember how they used to put tits in movies for no reason?) but I'm kind of glad most of Hollywood, not just Marvel, has gotten away from making sure John Wick has a new girlfriend by the end of the film.

You had me up until this. There is always a good reason to put tits in movies. Because I want to see them.

In the 80s and 90s it was so exciting when someone said gently caress in a movie because that was like a 100% guarantee that you would see boobs at some point.

I actually had to look after my great grandmother for an evening and after she got into bed I turned the TV on some Steven Segal flic to which I didn't really pay any mind.
So I went to check up on grandmama and just as I come back my uncle walks in and surprise surprise the movie is Under Siege and it totally looks like I was just getting down to watch the titty scene.

So that is another reason to hate on Mr. Segal.

I check my cake for hookers every year but no love. Very disappointed with the wife and kids...

I remind them that you are supposed to add the hookers after you bake the cake per 29 CFR 1926.95

Obligatory hollywood romance subplots are mostly tacked-on crap that doesn't harmonize with the rest of the plot, and the fact that they constantly reinforce the Good Guy Gets The Girl is more than a little responsible for incels and the like.

Plenty of movies have a good romantic element as part of the plot, but for every one that does, 50 miss the mark.

this x1000

being queer is a fast-track to realizing just how completely saturated most media is with unnecessary, forced (straight) romance subplots. I’d rather see 10 movies without romance at all than another one with zero chemistry between the main characters but they inexplicably fall in love anyway

anyway back on track

Judging from his appearances on other Youtuber videos, he has no issues with shocking himself or anyone in the vicinity.

He definitely is. He's exaggerating the reactions, but he does shock himself constantly.

Electroboom is a professional EE who knows exactly what he's doing in all of his videos (at least from the electrical standpoint). When stuff blows up he's doing it intentionally as a joke, and when he's shocked he's usually taken precautions to make sure it will just be painful, not dangerous.

That said, there are a couple of cases where he's gotten bitten. Notably this Jacob's Ladder video, where he absolutely could have died:

(7:50 for the money shot)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lT3vGaOLWqE

Grabbing the falling electrodes with both hands briefly put thousands of volts and several amps -- an electrical niagara falls -- right across his chest. If not for the sheer dumb luck of the wires popping loose, he probably would have been unable to let go of the electrodes from the muscle contractions, and he would have stopped his heart and burned his hands into cinders.

I think he is pretty foolhardy to not wear safety glasses or gloves when he's got thousands of volts exposed on his bench. But I still like him a lot.
