Randalor posted:"I bid you dark greetings" is a pretty badass way to greet someone, you have to admit. I could see someone used to being the bearer of bad news using that as their way of saying hello. I can only read it as Laszlo/Matt Berry in What We Do in the Shadows. "I bid you, DARK GREETINGS!"

How did the boy and girl not massively overdose on coke in Cocaine Bear? They eat a goddamn mouthful of blow, because they're dumb kids and don't know how people normally consume Cocaine. Sure they spit it out because it probsbly tastes awful but...that's probably still a LOT of Cocaine they would have absorbed. It's like doing the goddamn cinnamon challenge with Cocaine! I was expecting them to get seizures and die before the bear even got to them.

The moff in the quilted jacket seems like the kind that would go all-in on the "warlord" cosplay and declare "I bid you all DARK GREETINGS" after being 5 minutes late.

I was expecting them to get seizures and die before the bear even got to them. havent seen the movie, did they ingest it all? a random website i found says the ld50 for cocaine is 0.96mg per kg bodyweight, so a 10 year old (say 30 kg) should be able to do .3 grams of pure cocaine with only a 50/50 chance of dying e: this was funnier before i realized i hosed up the comma and thought that children could do 3 fat lines easy. alas, i have fixed my error still, the woods coke might be stepped on, so they could probably handle a couple grams of whatever it was Carthag Tuek has a new favorite as of 21:32 on Sep 1, 2023 |

on a lighter note, edge of tomorrow when part of the final plan involves emily blunt (who is an excellent fighter who is aware of the importance of what tom cruise tells her about what to pay attention to), right after he says "make sure to disconnect the caravan", she does not disconnect the caravan, so we can have a "kids in the backseat, mom and dad arguing" moment aside from the ending thats the worst part of that movie Carthag Tuek has a new favorite as of 22:42 on Sep 1, 2023 |

He has gone through it umpteenth times, and he knows that she won't unhook the drat thing no matter what he does. It's one of the universal constants of that universe that she doesn't unhook the trailer, just like the naked tank guy getting splatted on the beach. All he can do is be ready when the monsters in the back burst out. Don't ask me why he doesn't just waste the trailer with rockets as he gets in the car. He has probably tried that. It's one of the more horrific aspects of the premise; everything we see him do, he has probably done a hundred times already.

Specifically about Indiana Jones but applies to a bunch of other stuff as well. You're chasing the McGuffin. You know the bad guys are also chasing the McGuffin. And yet, at no point in your pursuit of the McGuffin do you prepare for the possibility that you will encounter the bad guys. Like, you don't even tell the people who are helping you find it that "Oh yeah, there are bad guys after it as well, so maybe you want to get some guns and shoot at whoever shows up while we're looking for it." Multiple times in the same film.

We see him from her perspective and he is being weirdly and inappropriately accommodating, always prepared for anything she might want and she knows what that means. The tragic thing is that it means he doesn't want her to die, which she inevitably does whenever she comes along.

In the show Foundation, there's a massive ring built around the planet Trantor, where people live and whatnot. In a shot thats tight enough that you can see individual homes,you can see the curvature of the ring, which is absurd because a ring big enough to go all the way around an earth-ish-sized planet would be straight as a god drat arrow from any perspective that wasn't backed way the gently caress up.

Morpheus posted:Well that's not the same as a void. Imagine being underwater and seeing a bubble. It doesn't contain any water, it's air, but it's quite visible to you and you can feel it when it brushes against you. That's stuff like droids. It's much stupider than that from what i remember of them It's just a dumb plot point altogether IMHO. A jedi that can't throw someone really hard with the force could still throw a rock really really hard at them I bet.

Watched the first episode of One Piece and it was enjoyable enough in a goofy way, but three things stood out. There were a number of moments obviously lifted directly from the comic and cartoon and they were just poorly done. All the action would grind to a halt and the actor would literally look directly into the camera as they struck the pose. All they needed was a big! "Hey kids, remember this moment?" in letters of fire across the screen. The second was one character whose gimmick was having three swords and he'd fight with one in each hand and the third one in his mouth. Now this probably looks great on the page or when animated. But in live action, not so much. The hilt of the sword was way too big for the guy's mouth and you could practically see the drool coming out the sides of his mouth. At one point, while fighting a bad guy, he managed to get his mouth sword up against the guy's throat in another of those 'iconic moments' and it was tragic how dumb it looked. It was about as threatening as a limp dishrag. The third one relates to drooly boy, too. The main character fights by punching people. The second main character fights by hitting people with a stick. Sword boy stabs them. Shows like the Ninja Turtles or Power Rangers always dealt with the disparity between characters who punched, kicked or thumped their opponents and sword characters by pretending it's a glorified stick. One Piece, not so much. You have two characters doing PG level violence, leaving the bad guys alive on the ground. Then there's the other one, literally cutting people in half.

That's pretty much just absolutely inevitable stuff when adapting One Piece. If you don't have Zoro and his three swords you're basically making Dragon Ball Evolution.

I look forward to more sight unseen takes on the One Piece show from people unfamiliar with the manga or anime and realising how much of the goofy and insane poo poo is inherent to the show and utterly non-negotiable to any remotely worthwhile adaptation, changing or omitting it would be like Superman not being allowed to be an alien from Krypton or Hellboy not being a demon from Hell.
