dr_rat posted:12 would the super stupid one where one of the main characters looked exactly like the movie star she was played by, and it just wasn't mentioned in the previous film right? Yeah. IIrc they basically had an Adam Sandler thing going where the actors just hung out in Clooney's or Pitt's house in Italy and made a film on the side.

Baron von Eevl posted: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. Wait, if they won the cars, doesn't that mean the cars they already had were faster, thus making the illegal street racing moot?

Decided to watch a random film on Netflix, saw this Seraphim Falls western. One or two minutes in, a guy is being shot at. But it's one of those slow bullet rifles because you hear the gunshot like a full fuckin second before the bullet hits anything.

I think in some fairness, at that point it seems well established the cast already have extremely good illegal street racing skills and it can be assumed they won the street races easily based on said skills, even against opponents with technically superior cars. But I suppose it's all context. Like in Fury Road where Max finishes off the Bullet Farmer.

Maybe the cars were the prizes in the races and not actually driven by the other racers? I haven't seen the movie; I'm just guessing.

If it's so easy why not just sell the cars then do some more races for more cars instead of doing the heist?

Seems like you don't understand the "being a badass" aspect. Also you can only race for pinks so many times before everyone knows you do that and then the only people that challenge you for pinks might be the next badasses.

Yeah, but the funny part wasn't "how did they win these cars" it was that they used a really convoluted setup to involve street racing and then they don't show any of the street race. It's like if Pitch Perfect 5 was a movie about being surgeons and they were like "our hospital needs money fast! We're going to need to enter this a capella competition with a big cash prize" and then cut to them holding big sacks with dollar signs on them after having won.

I'm not going to hold any Fast movie after about 4 to task for presenting "these characters are accomplished street racers" as anything but informed attributes, that's not what the movies want to be by this point. My IIMM is that the Japanese title of 5 is "Wild Speed MEGA MAX" (capitalization theirs) and that's obviously a way better title

"Camera angle featuring a gun being fired, camera cut to the protagonist ducking, and then the gunfire hits" is my absolute least favorite cinematic pacing trick. Westerns are perhaps the inventor of the trick it's so common. It was so satisfying to see Tarantino defy it just so he could be exploded with dynamite in Django Unchained.

There's something really visceral about when a movie does it right and someone gets shot by a sniper and the sound follows a second later.

Fast and Furious needs a crossover with Transformers. I want to see some bot deciding to gently caress the war, I wanna be a street racecar. And when someone tries to cheat, he can transform and yeet that loving car off the track, then go right back to racing. TF Prime did an episode with that, but it was more of a hobby for the Decepticon in question. He did get chewed out by his superior officer for streetracing with humans AGAIN.

Let me be incredibly clear: I have, in the past, successfully identified Fast and Furious (the fourth one) from the opening production graphics (Universal, Original Film) without audio on a tiny TV in a bar. I fuckin' love F&F and crossing Transformers in would be awesome and possibly the only reasonable escalation after whatever they're doing with "Jason Momoa but he's hilariously nuts" The Universal globe thing showed up, the Original Film text showed up, I went "oh hey it's Fast & Fourious" and it was stringless has a new favorite as of 05:15 on Feb 13, 2024 |

Speaking of Fast and the Furious, I saw Fast X recently and there's a touching scene of John Cena driving his nephew around in a cool cannon car. Bad guys start chasing them so the kid uses the cannon and blows up a car. It is blown all the way up, all the people inside are dead or going to burn to death horribly. This is treated as good fun by John Cena and the kid. That kid just murdered several people. Also I didn't know that it was a 2 parter. First spiderman, now fast x. Would it kill them to label it part 1 or something?

Hell, Luke Skywalker goes from podunk sandy-assed farm boy to shooting stormtroopers on the Death Star and then blowing two million people up in the space of a couple days.

That bothered me about Nobody. It did not feel like a movie where life and death should come into play so soon. The now well-known fight on the bus is the first fight in the film and like the third scene. Hutch wins and he kills a punk so thoroughly that he's got to give him a tracheotomy before he leaves so the guy doesn't actually die. Like it ramps up from there sure, but they blew their load on Bob Odenkirk way too early so to speak. CJacobs has a new favorite as of 14:38 on Feb 13, 2024 |

The Parent Trap. The parents of twin girls divorce and move away from each other, each taking one baby and never telling their child that the other exists  When the girls accidentally meet, rather than realising their parents are loving monsters, they conspire to get them back together.

Alternatively; the parents of twin girls had such a terrible and harrowing experience both before and during their divorce that the court arranged this bizarre Solomon's Wisdom style resolution between both parents who immediately memory holed the whole experience and moved on. When the girls accidentally meet, rather than realizing the extent of their parents' trauma, they conspire to shove two traumatized adults back together. Is, is this anything?
