My problem was the first third was Rashomon, most of the rest was mostly voiceover narration (c'mon, show, don't tell), but then you get the David Lynch-directed acid trip to finish the whole thing off, which frankly fit in a different film. At least there was a theme to this movie. I hear the prequel is just a bunch of scenes thrown together with no rhyme or reason.

They just look so CGI and weird. My mom is rewatching Grey's Anatomy. Every episode is one huge IIMM. The current episode has a person with a DNR but because she works at the hospital and her spouse is a surgeon and he starts screaming for them to save her, the doctors decide gently caress her DNR, we're gonna save her! That poo poo terrifies me far more than the organ donor conspiracy that the hospital will let you die to harvest your organs. Of course because it's Grey's Anatomy, she doesn't have any complications and everything works out great! It's also super weird watching the "rah rah go military!" poo poo when it's about Afghanistan and how brave it is to serve your country because you are protecting our freedoms!

This is basically how it works. A DNR can be immediately revoked by the patient or, if they can't communicate, by their legal guardian, medical POA, qualified relative, etc. At least, that's the case where I work, not sure about other areas.

oldpainless posted:The Bible Speaking of spliced-in fake endings, a long time ago (VHS times) we used to have a weekly movie nights with my buddies. At a certain point we started teasing two of our friends about how good the ending of Casino was, without spoiling it for them; but every week, the guy who had the tape "forgot" to bring it over. After a months or so, the hype was palpable and Casino was finally available. But, just before the plot twist at the end, the movie cuts to some of us doing lovely re-enactments of a bunch of famous scenes from other movies - except the punch lines are now all about how good the ending of Casino is. The first one was one of us sitting under a running shower, holding a wooden duck and doing Rutger Hauer's "I've seen things" piece from Blade Runner, but recovering after "...time to die" with a peppy "oh, and I've also seen the ending of Casino!", smash cut to the next bit. Why yes, we were in college at the time, why do you ask?

Khizan posted:This is basically how it works. If you want to have a DNR ordered, you need to trust your next of kin/mPOA to uphold it as well. You might, might have someone willing to push back against a revocation if the provider had had a relatively long relationship with the patient and had been the one to have a long decision with the patient establishing that DNR decision and the clinical situation was one directly discussed and the immediate medical decision maker was not particularly close to the patient and even then it would probably wouldn't be the most aggressive pushback. The law as interpreted just doesn't support that.

Saw an ad for the Lego version of The Razor Crest from The Mandalorian and it just reminded me of how stupid the decision was to blow it up on the show. Especially since they replaced it with the much worse Naboo Starfighter which looks super uncomfortable to actually travel in.

The Razorcrest was an original design and made sense as a utilitarian craft. The new retrofitted Naboo fighter reminds people of the Prequels, which is never a good idea.

My favorite thing about that was they blew it up right after this big toy version cleared funding and the payments had gone through. I think it was somewhere between 350-500 bucks for it. Then poof

The sequels desperately tried to avoid reminding anyone of the prequels, to their great detriment and at exactly the wrong time.

Kinda? It gives a general recap of what's happened and what's going on right up to when the crawl ends. Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope posted:It is a period of civil war. Palpatine's reveal via Fortnite feels different because it's from a video game and it happened just before the movie. Call me  but I treated the movies as canon and all other stuff as supplementary. I don't mind movies going back to fill in gaps, like Rogue One showing the escape of the blockade runner just before it leads into Star Wars or even Solo: A Star Wars Story showing the Kessel Run. Cross-continuity stuff is straight out of old comic book editorial poo poo (*see X-Men #___) and if you haven't consumed the media beforehand you could be lost. I think this is what's ailing the Disney properties right now: so much bloat with the inclusion of the tv shows you feel left out. Right now I've not bothered starting Ashoka because from my other friends saying that it's more or less season 5 of Star Wars: Rebels I already feel behind the curve.

But also he's only introduced in 3, so it's not like you go from seeing him fine to that. If you don't know why, he's just some cyborg with a cough for some reason. Star Wars is full of weird quirks so it doesn't stand out. Len posted:I know it's from a prequel but im pretty sure episode 3 referenced the clone wars cartoons that were on a channel my backwoods small Ohio town didn't get The cartoon came out 3 years after the movie. Edit: Actually I guess the Tartakovsky one was in continuity at the time. It's not now though. Aphrodite has a new favorite as of 16:22 on Oct 11, 2023 |
