I haven't seen Nope but I'd never question the inclusion of a chimp in any movie.

The inclusion of the chimp story in Nope is pretty confusing until the connection is made abundantly clear, because it's all flashbacks and not immediately obvious. And then it's super obvious.

The dialogue in Nope is often very on the nose but I assume a lot of people aren't paying much attention. Watching it at least a second time reveals just how funny the script can be

One smaller detail I love is that after the tarp is pulled off of the horse cage, a shot or two later the theme park crew is in the corner of the frame dragging it out of sight

So much happens in every single line of dialogue in silence of the lambs that you often miss things and you need a second or even third viewing to catch all the little details. For example in nope, it wasn't until the 3rd viewing that I realized one reason the chimp went off besides the balloons, but check out the TV Mom's necklace.

The Flash tv show has a weird problem they've run into in the last couple of seasons. So early in the show Barry was the only main character with powers but then his various teammates ended up with them too for whatever reason. They would help out in fights with their own costumes and hero names: Vibe, Elongated Man, Kid Flash, you know superheroes. After so many years on TV side characters start leaving as their actors move on to other things and the show adds new side characters. This is all pretty normal stuff but what's weird is how these new characters also have powers and help out but they aren't wearing costumes and don't use hero names. So you have The Flash and his team of Allegra, Cecille and Chester.

I stopped watching the Flash shorttly after Flashpoint and everything I hear confirms that I was probably right, even though I adore Tom Cavanagh and will watch him in anything. LIke, I've watched season 1 of that show through about three times and I think I might watch it again. Glad all those actors are getting work though

I finally got around to watching Avatar: Way of Water, and while there's a whole list of rationally irritating parts about it, one kind of weird things is that there are a fair few of shots that just look... kinda bad and fake? Usually just fairly short sequences, in any other movie you'd simply look past it because never mind a few seconds of bad CGI here and there. But this is the one movie series where they've seemingly sacrificed literally everything else in the name of VFX, so you'd really think they would make sure to nail every shot in that respect.

Did anyone else crack up when James Cameron said that they're looking at fire Navi for the next movie? At this point I'm hoping they do the air nomads and then the Earth Kingdom ones for the next two movies! By then hopefully Jake Sully will have mastered all of the elements so he can once again defeat the same human that keeps dying but keeps being brought back to fight him.

If Elongated Man is the character I'm thinking of, I dropped the show when he was introduced because his introductory episode was about how he was a Good Cop but then lost his job because one measly time he got caught forging evidence but like can we really say that was wrong of him because he was really sure the defendant did it and the defendant was really bad and golly sometimes you just gotta do what you gotta do so maybe we shouldn't be so judgmental toward him and ruin this Good Cop's life, doesn't he deserve better?

oldpainless posted:I want a 4th riddick movie to end the franchise. And please don’t try to pawn off the anime or one of the games as “like a movie” to make it four I just want you to know you are not alone in this desire, oldriddickless. I'm one of the weirdos who loving loves Chronicles. The over the top setpieces. The elemental themed planets. The loving ridiculous design of the Necromongers and everything about them. The planet invasion scene is one of my favourite things I've ever watched in a movie theater (remember those days?) - especially since it came after the wet fart of 'planet invasion' that we got to see in the garbage star wars prequels. It's an incredibly dumb movie but I want more of it. Please. The third one was like a crappier remake of the first but at least it tied some things up I guess? Give us the fourth.

God, watch him do the same plot again. Once again Sully (and/or family) will have to assimilate into a new Na'vi culture with awkward real-life undertones, once again he will bond to a new kind of local animal, once again he will face off against human colonizers exploiting the local ecosystem for a one-of-a-kind sci-fi resource, once again the primary antagonist will be the same loving guy.

DarkDobe posted:I just want you to know you are not alone in this desire, oldriddickless. Chronicles is a huge, mad Conan movie in space even down to a "lead character sits on tall throne" shot in the climax. My only major bitch with it is that it's a sequel to Pitch Black. The tonal whiplash from "gritty space horror Western" to "Vin Diesel's D&D campaign but in space" was just too big.

Over in the Avatar thread there's speculation that Jake & family go to Earth in a later film. Trick is it's not the 3rd film, but more sound the 5th.

Perfect for this thread though, because there's an IIMM like every five minutes. A major one is that it feels like half the goddamn movie is spent loving around the first airport. They even explicitly say early on that there's a hard time limit before the planet is donezo but no, lets run back and forth in the same location for a while.
