I'm sure it's been posted before but: how the heck did Leeloo get past "genocide" and "holocaust" and "nuclear" only for "war" to kill her spirit? Hell if it's a comprehensive future dictionary then "Auschwitz" is right there at the beginning

FFT posted:"Wave" Pft, that's a good one. Actually surprising how many sci-fi works will reference Dune while taking place on an ocean planet, like Subnautica having a Stillsuit. Of course, makes sense given the whole point is that Arrakis has the desert work like an ocean with the worms being primarily filter feeders on the sandborne microorganisms.

Apparently their own mothers couldn't tell them apart, albeit that's after they're under very heavy makeup and outfits designed to make them blend in with the other handmaidens.

Actual  I remember when this came out on DVD Criterion made a 2 disc edition of this and I picked it up because I had a bunch of their DVDs. Like “It must actually be a good movie” I thought No it was actually not a good movie and the only redeeming thing about the DVD was Ben Affleck’s commentary telling about when Michael Bay yelled at him to shut up and his impression of Karl from Sling Blade when Billy Bob Thornton had a scene

Arrath posted:While full of rationally irritating moments and squandered potential, I put Valyrian on the other night cause I was couch surfing while feeling like poo poo. This movie was so loving bad that i watched the entire thing and I cannot remember a single moment of it. Shame because it seemed like it was gonna be right up my alley, but I should’ve known not to overestimate actual pedophile Luc Besson. There are no “irrationally irritating” moments to this movie, because hating it is extremely rational.

Luc Besson is irrationally irritating me because he seems hell-bent on remaking his good early movies into lovely messes. I am still waiting for his new version of Leon that adheres to his vision of Leon being a cool dude who gets the girl. He is the ickiest shithead, it's depressing.

I watched Valerian and the City of A Thousand Planeta on a plane with no audio, so I had to read subtitles to figure out what was happening. I was also drinking a lot of Jack & Cokes at the same time. The movie sucked, but I believe that was the best way to watch that film.

I was also drinking a lot of Jack & Cokes at the same time. I did this with some Hunger Games / Logan's Run ripoff movie once, only there were no subtitles; I just inserted my own YA dialog. Then I found some headphones and plugged them in, but the actual movie dialog was so bad I went back to watching it without sound.

Naruto Shippuden the Movie: The guards have the audacity to act shocked when their regular arrows don't impede the march of an army of stone statues. The other members of team Guy are in the movie, but Tenten is not. No one is bothered by how hot it would be inside a volcano next to actual magma.

That happened a lot in the nineties. Armageddon and Deep Impact, Bug’s Life and Antz, Mission to Mars and Red Planet, etc. They even made competing movies about loving Steve Prefontaine.
