Well the fertilizer bomb fizzled then exploded in Vikings face. I think it was meant to be more powerful.

Winning not because he knew powerful magic or what not, but just by being a clever bastard. Yeah, and it's pretty clear that Constantine's Lucifer was way more than just Gabriel, but more evil. There didn't have to be a scene to establish his healing powers, he's the next best thing to God.

They go into some detail about how it works earlier, and it can't have been a clever trick on his part because then it wouldn't have counted for his redemption. Everything except the actual sacrifice was clever maneuvering though.

It was the First of the Fallen, an analogue of Lucifer who claimed the throne after Lucifer abdicated but is far less powerful. (If you're wondering how he can be the first angel to fall if he's not Lucifer: in the DC Universe it's made clear that Lucifer didn't fall, he was pushed.) Either way, Peter Stormare did a decent enough job.

Cowslips Warren posted:IIMM: Encanto bullshit. The engagement dinner? It should be a loving HONOR to marry into magical family, to the point it should be the hopeful suitor and his mom bowing to get a chance to propose. Like everyone in the town should be praying one of their kids can marry into the magical family. But the movie plays it that the family is Super Lucky to get this rando to marry Isabella. I thought the guy's family was supposed to be a powerful family in the village, and the grandmother was using her granddaughter as a pawn to consolidate more power for her family by arranging a marriage between them. No, I don't have a high opinion of the villain of the film, why do you ask?

The movie has keanu reeves, tilda swinton, peter stormare, that priest dude who shows up for a bit, and whoever the lady is who functions as the straight man. There are no other characters.

He actually committs suicde and Lucifer comes ro claim him. 3. Constantine asks to trade places with the dead twin even though it's establish that he's going to hell regardless. It honestly doesn't make sense.

So she's a villain, but one that's willing to change rather than die for her hosed up beliefs. Still really hosed up that the entire town had a song about how much they hate Bruno though.

I barely remember the film, but Constantine uses suicide attempts to look at Hell a couple of times before reversing them. My impression of the end of the movie is that he was doing the same thing - putting himself on the very edge of death. That got Lucifer to come to claim the soul personally, Constantine agrees to not abort the suicide if the dead girl's soul is freed, Lucifer agrees. Then that willing sacrifice absolves Constantine's sins and grants him access to Heaven.

Constantine never uses suicide in such a way in the movies, he might in the comics, I dunno. In the movie, his suicide is "legit" in that he got told before that Lucifer would come up personally to collect his soul... and Constantine banked on that because Lucifer's son was next door, trying to build his kingdom on earth with Gabriel's aid. Constantine knew Lucifer wouldn't be cool with that. When Lucifer offers Constanine the reversal of that suicide attempt, it's when John sacrifices himself for the dead twin sister and THAT is what gets him into heaven. It is debatable if the sacrifice is heartfelt or calculated. Earlier in the movie a point is being made that John won't get into heaven for the good deeds he did so far because he only did them to get into heaven.

It's funnier in the comics because he sells his soul to every major demon lord in hell and then kills himself and they all show up to collect his soul and get really mad and confused and eventually have to settle on resurrecting him and curing his cancer because the legal complications of who gets his soul is too much of a headache to deal with so they're just hoping they'll be able to settle it before he dies next time. Which I doubt would've worked in a movie.

Getting a different kind of cancer and setting up those different deals that will blow up in a scene in the climax straight out of a courtroom thriller.

This reminded me that in the TF2 comics, the Medic dies and goes to hell but they can't keep him there because though he has sold *his* soul to Satan, he has grafted portions of his team-mates' souls onto his own, so unless they all die and go to hell too, hell can't keep him there.

This is one of those things that you'd never notice unless you have specialized knowledge. I've done metal working and there is so much wrong with the blacksmithing scenes in the Mandalorian. It'd be like an actual judge watching Law & Order and calling bullshit.  While I'm at it, here's another thing that irritates me, evidence of previous takes. The example that comes to mind is this part of Batman Begins. You can clearly see skid marks on the road from earlier attempts. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLx6el5dCwA&t=164s Of course these are nitpicking, but this isn't the Completely Reasonable Complaints About Movies thread.

Went to a screening last night of Godzilla: Tokyo SOS, with subtitles. I'd seen the movie before, which is how I know Mechagodzilla's referred to in that movie as "Kiryu." Only the subtitles I saw last night never used "Kiryu!" You have the actors clearly saying "Kiryu" throughout the movie, then the subtitles saying "Mechagodzilla" or "Mecha-G." If they wanted to say "Mechagodzilla," they'd have said "Mekagojira!"

I'm watching Nope and the scene where OJ is in his truck and it stops makes me wonder why that happened. If the truck is old enough it's not like that much electricity is needed to power it when the internal combustion engine is running. Then again if the sparkplugs are effected then I guess that counts.

I'm watching the rather terrible Fantastic 4: Rise of the Silver Surfer, and a massive hole is made into the earth's core (or something) under the river Thames. A bit later they look up and the entirety of the Thames is dry. But...that's not how rivers work, water flows downhill. It would still be coming from one side. (I'll assume the Thames barrier is up hence why there's no tidal water either) Also wtf is up wit Jessica Alba's contacts. Edit: wtf. The movie ends when they're in China, and then they say something about getting married, reed Richards says "I have a better idea" and suddenly they're getting married in...Japan? Why Japan. Do they think people wouldn't know the difference between China and Japan. Roblo has a new favorite as of 22:38 on Mar 24, 2023 |
