Henchman of Santa posted:Been watching Pen15 on Hulu. The first episode establishes the setting as September 2000, so the start of the 2000-01 school year. Just got to the animated special set in spring and it opens with "April 2000" even though it appears to pick up around where the previous episode left off. I think the Reno 911 had one of the best body double fake out scenes where Jim and Trudy are starting to get it on and it cuts back and forth to a softcore porn scene of completely looking bodies only to later reveal it was in fact an entirely different couple that the deputy was peeping in on. My own IMM is that there's not enough comedic nudity in films. Reno 911 had the topless lady trying to rescue the whale and No Hard Feelings had a skinny dipping Jennifer Lawrence come charging out of the ocean like some kaiju to fight when a couple of teens try to steal her underpants.

Ommin posted:I actually like this better than random names, but it definitely works best when it's utilized to expand the joke like with Always Sunny and Community. yeah exactly those i like cause you get the cold open where theyre on about some new scheme, and then title card: the gang fucks this exact thing up. its an enhancement and not just a chore to get over with. sure, you know its coming, but repetition in moderation is excellent comedy

Re: the Starship Troopers movie, I dont think its meant to be a false flag, but I also think its very intentional that we just see a rock trundling through space with no evidence that it was launched from light years away to precisely hit Earth. Could be incompetence, or maybe the government of Earth is so bloodthirsty they convinced themselves it really was sent by the bugs. One thing I never really got about the movie was the climax, in which Rico doesnt capture the Brain Bug. Rico and some buddies confront it while rescuing his girlfriend, and then they escape using a micro-nuke to hold off the bugs. Immediately after, as they catch their breath, they find other soldiers dragging the brain bug out from the cave and hoisting up Ricos old drill instructor Zim for his role in capturing it. Just, By the way, then the bug was caught. In another movie Id assume it was sloppy, but with the movie the way it is, I feel like its a deliberate choice to have the Brain Bug captured by the offscreen heroics of a character we havent seen in, like, an hour, but I cant figure out why they made that choice. Wikipedia says Zim was involved in its capture in the book, so I dont know if its a riff on the plot. If the conceit of the movie is to satirize fascism by just making the same movie they would, theyd still show the Brain But getting captured, I think? Is the sloppiness the point?

I would say it is consistent with the general theme that the protagonists are ultimately disposable cogs in a machine. They aren't special enough to actually move the war forward.

Or put slightly differently, the war moves forward no matter what they do. Rico embarks on a personal quest that keeps him from achieving that particular goal... but so what, the mission must succeed so it'll be a rando we happen to know from before.

i just realized another thing i dont like, now a lot of stuff is written and filmed as "self-contained" scenes, in several variations, and then cut those disparate scenes together to something that resembles a narrative. i know that has been a fact since the invention of cinema, but recentlyi think theyre getting sloppier with cutting it together. or possibly i just notice it more theyre showing annoyance before the thing that triggers is shown, a subtle nod and whispered "now" to a compatriot before they even realize to discuss a plan. and worst of all, they leave in scenes that i guess are meant to look like its all spontaneous but they look like improv outtakes (which they would be in a decent society) some of this is based on the first 2.5 episodes of the fallout series, but it applies to pretty much everything ive seen in the last 5 years or so the above is all factual. thank you for my ted talk

my lame super power would be to always have a perfect bite/spoonful/forkful of foods and structurally sound foods. like a sandwich bite with all the ingredients and the sandwich doesnt fall apart or leak. soup or stew where each utensilful has the perfect mix of stuff.

Carthag Tuek posted:more of a general irritating media moments thing. themed chapter/episode titles I dunno about Seinfeld but I did see a thing about Friends where they said the point of that was so the writers wouldn't gently caress around and waste a ton of time coming up with funny episode titles. I like it, personally. Whenever people get talking about like The Simpsons or Star Trek, if they reference an episode title then don't give any context I never know what the gently caress they're talking about. Just say "The Tomacco One" or "The one with the self sealing stem bolts".

[fallout] "you are the last of the name maclean" wtf. the story (officially, apparently) is that their dad came from vault 32 in a marriage pact to their now dead mom in this vault. theres no lineage or heritage of that name. these writers are lazy as hell e: unless their dad took the name after his wife when entering the vault, thatd be a nice "twist". withholding judgment until further notice

"the one where" is too cute, thats what i originally meant to post.

In Shogun (and in the historical events it's based on), the English dude whose ship washes up in Japan is given the name "Anjin", or "Pilot", because that's what his job is. The first episode of the new series is also named "Anjin".

The commentary on the DVD points out how annoying this was for all the behind the scenes admin stuff because noone had any idea of which episode was which.

Also the dad was from 31. sorry, wrong vault. but point is dad was from another vault, so theres no surname legacy in this vault unless its their mothers name which im starting to think it is not, esp being the retrofuture and it was said by the old frail black lady from the council, when she delivers some cake to the scheming little brother, ep 2 or 3. then she leaves immediately, just planting a seed here. all the scenes are like that Carthag Tuek has a new favorite as of 06:04 on Apr 13, 2024 |
