I like Man of Steel, easily one of the top 5 movies where Superman is played by Henry Cavill, but Cavill’s expression 90% of the film is like “annoyingly bored” or “smug” no matter the circumstances

That's more of an assault-and-battery robot than a killer robot.

Well, I would say, sometimes when you shower the goal is really just to get the sweat off you. I don't always use soap if I've already showered in the morning, going to shower at night, and am just rinsing off some sweat from a workout. But I do appreciate your looking this up for us, SidneyIsTheKiller.

Oh sure, hitting his wife accidentally when she's trying to talk him down off the ledge was always intended to be a bad guy moment, they just wound up overshooting the mark.

Still better than what they did with Pym in the Ultimates line of comics where he was just a monster. TW: abuse He beat the poo poo out of Janet and, when she shrunk down to the Wasp to try and escape him, he caught her and sprayed her with bug spray to torture her

My mom decided to watch Jurassic Park, which is pretty flawless, and then the two sequels. Retirement has led to her making some odd choices. I wonder if she'll do the Jurassic World series next. But dear gods, even as a kid I hated The Lost World. And 3 was just bad on every level. Though mad props to killing the T-rex to show how SUPER COOL this new dino is, be sure to buy the toys! new dino also has a great sense of comedic timing.

Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey To explain why murder is happening, the movie claims that when Christopher Robin left for school and stopped bringing food the animals started to starve in the cold of winter when there was nothing to eat. Maddened with hunger they ate one of their friends and then lost their minds. In a hundred acre wood. In England. Which is silly. No way a rabbit, boar, and donkey can't find enough to graze on. Owl -- come on, unless this is an entirely imaginary wood it is full of mice, WTF are you even doing with your life Owl? Flaco lived in a zoo all his life and had no trouble at all finding things to eat when he escaped to central park. You can fly! Just fly to wherever the mice are. Winnie, okay, a bear would have to work harder than a loving donkey. But considering how good he gets at murdering humans, I'm doubtful that he couldn't manage to catch geese, swans, foxes, the king's deer, rabbits, or whatever else still exists in the english woodlands. They could have gone mad from loneliness. Or a weirdo pervert could have found them and corrupted them. Or maybe things took a real weird turn when Christopher Robin went through puberty. But hunger?!?

What's dystopian about its world is that they have Rollerball and no soap. That's it, everything else is the same as our world.

I think Snyder hired a hitman and told him he'd kill cavill's family if he didn't act like a sad sack for being the most powerful being on the planet. It's incredibly frustrating because the dude can act very well but snyder doesn't understand pretty things like plot or story or how to actually make a good movie.

Chariot: I can't remember the last time I've been more annoyed at a movie and I'm ashamed I spent 2.99 on it. I am generally a fan of movies that take place in an airplane but this is just some half-baked conspiracy theory garbage that doesn't even make sense. Why bother with telling the pilots not to respond to radio hails if they aren't even able to respond? What was even the point of the government lady bringing the guy who saved her son when she knew it was just a dry run and he might die? e: this movie is so bad i can't even find it on rottentomatoes to see if people agree with me because there's a more popular bad movie with the same name with john malkovich yeah I eat ass has a new favorite as of 00:28 on Feb 11, 2024 |

Watching the Tokyo Vice season 2 premiere, I am reminded of a type of scene that irrationally annoys me: A Powerful Corrupt Person is confronted in his very own home by a Badass who is just nonchalantly sitting there or something: PCP: Who are you??? How did you get past security??? Badass: You will tell me what I want and tell no one about this meeting, or I'll come back! They never explain how they got past security! This guy is super important, so it was probably a daring heist of some kind. I want to see it! It also never occurs to the important guy to simply hire better security and tell everyone about the meeting. It's just taken for granted that this guy is so hardcore, that no amount of security would matter. SimonChris has a new favorite as of 11:37 on Feb 11, 2024 |

SimonChris posted:They never explain how they got past security! This guy is super important, so it was probably a daring heist of some kind. I want to see it! Reminds me of Mission Impossible 3 where they have a scene explaining in detail all the security the villains have protecting the macguffin (it's in a windowless steel-reinforced floor with only one elevator, monitored constantly by security cameras and floor pressure plates and laser tripwires, locked in a two-ton safe that can only be opened through a retinal scan, a fingerprint scan, and a key that is handcuffed to the manager at all times yadda yadda all that stuff). The movie then immediately cuts to Tom Cruise jumping through a window out of the building, macguffin in hand. But as he lands, he fumbles it! And it's a cylinder, so it starts to roll into the street! So instead of seeing the cool heist, we get a "tense" scene of him running across the street through gridlocked rush hour city traffic to pick it up again.

SimonChris posted:Watching the Tokyo Vice season 2 premiere, I am reminded of a type of scene that irrationally annoys me: You might like David Fincher's The Killer, wherein you get to watch Michael Fassbender join a gym and clone keycards. Riveting stuff. Just watched The Beekeeper last night. Normally I don't care about silly movie accents but this one has some all-timers. Jeremy Irons as the former CIA director, presumably of the United States, isn't even trying an American accent and is just pip-pipping and oi-guving all over the movie. Then there's a mercenary guy doing the most over the top Seth Efrican accent you've ever heard, for no reason whatsoever. Its nuts. Of course, Statham isn't going to do an accent, gently caress that, so the script has someone be like "you sound british" and he's like "yeah" and that's it. He's just british and its fine. The movie is also weirdly violent but also bloodless somehow. Like, a dude gets his fingers chopped off with a bandsaw, which you see happen, and there's no blood. Just clean finger stumps like the dude is a mannequin. Someone else gets chopped in half with an elevator and again, no blood, or very little. I had to check to make sure this wasn't PG-13. There's a somewhat bloody fight at the end but otherwise its just like cartoons getting offed. Really weird.

That itself reminds me of Fast 5, the fifth installment of the movie franchise about illegal street racing, where the heroes go "we'll need some fast cars for this heist, we're going to have to do some illegal street racing to win them" and then it cuts straight to them having won the cars in illegal street races.

That reminds me of yet another example: In Ocean's 13, the characters need to rob a casino, so they steal one of the 600 ton tunnel boring machines used to dig the Chunnel between England and France, somehow smuggle it to Las Vegas without being noticed, and dig a tunnel under the casino! How they pull off this insane feat isn't shown or described at all; we just cut straight to them digging tunnels under Las Vegas. As Roger Ebert pointed out in his review, smuggling a massive tunnel boring machine to Las Vegas is actually a much more impressive heist than robbing another casino and would have arguably made for a more interesting movie.
