Not a fault of the movie itself (I actually quite enjoyed it) but the trailers for Call Of The Wild featured Harrison Ford a lot. Harrison Ford's character in the film is but one of three main human protagonists. After watching it, I immediately loaded up Diablo II and re-speced my Druid to summon Spirit Wolves.

Push El Burrito posted:Are we just gonna let this person get away with saying Hocus Pocus was a so-so movie? For some reason it doesn’t add up to the sum of its parts. All of the actors are fantastic as hell in it, but it’s got a lot of issues. I still have a massive gay crush on Vinessa Shaw in that movie though. ...you’re right, it IS great!

Exploring Hocus Pocus - From Box Office Flop to Halloween Favorite https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B_iuE0g0hYA Imagining a world where this movie was released in October (instead of July), did well and we have a Hocus Pocus trilogy and TV series.

Michael Fassbender has killed many people in his movie-roles, but it's a pity he's never killed his agent. His filmography for the last six years is like a crime-scene.

Lol, I actually know his agent, he’s super nice. You’d be surprised at how little say agents have over well-known actor’s movie choices, maybe. I know some of his other clients (not MF) and they’re also very much responsible for the movies and shows they make.

Has it ever been confirmed that Thanos even has an rear end in a top hat? All this time has been spent arguing assuming that he does, but maybe he's all flat down there, no holes.

The two main problems with the premise is that magic didn't seem that difficult to actually do and also while yes, science can replace stuff like a spell to light a fire magic can still do stuff like letting a person fly or bring the dead back to life.

Galactus has a mouth but no rear end in a top hat. His waste is expelled from his body as the Power Cosmic. Silver Surfer is coated in Galactus turds.

Isn't Ant-Man able to shrink down to like atomic level? At that point he could literally just go between Thanos's skin and other cells. I have not seen a single Marvel movie since the first Ant-Man, so I'm talking out my rear end here.

muscles like this! posted:The two main problems with the premise is that magic didn't seem that difficult to actually do and also while yes, science can replace stuff like a spell to light a fire magic can still do stuff like letting a person fly or bring the dead back to life. It also didn't make sense that magic was this forgotten and difficult art that was so mysterious, but the manticore running the family restaurant was the same one from legend (I guess she could be immortal or something but that didn't seem to be the tone) so the time frame being that magic was forgotten several generations ago didn't gel, and then their dad learned some really powerful magic and their mom talks about it like he learned how to build a short wave radio from reading a book. Apparently it's not hard to learn magic at all??? It was a cute story with good moments but it just didn't hold up the moment you stop to think about it.

The "my wife's daughter" line in Onward immediately made me think of that "my wife's boyfriend" meme, and it has been irritating the hell out of me ever since.

In the days of Rome someone wrote a letter complaining that a jug of wine or a jar of fish sauce could cost as much as a slave or a plough animal.

The whole deal with ancient times commerce is that a product that's common somewhere could be literally worth more than gold elsewhere. Like, the whole history of spices.

I highly doubt that that ever applied to dates, mostly because they're so unappealing that you should be paid to eat them.

Evilreaver posted:Hmm, normally it's just people around you who find dates unbearable  Anyway, Onward: superpowers to do menial jobs sounds like a cute premise, until you realize there is no strict classification beyond "they can do this and that" and you probably want something with a finer level of control to work on electronics or other delicate jobs. It's basically alchemy vs chemistry at that point.

There's a great little moment in one of the Night Watch books (not the Discworld one, the Russian urban fantasy with the awesome/crazy movies) where the protag's friends stage an intervention because he starts swatting flies with little tiny fireballs instead of using a newspaper like a normal person.

The movies are very tonally different to the books, but Lukyanenko liked the first one so much that he wrote a couple of his favourite scenes into the story. I definitely recommend both books and films. Just make sure that you get a version of Night Watch with the theatrical subtitles, because my Very Rational Irritating Movie Moment is that Day Watch has never been released with them intact.

Avatar comes to mind, when a decent percentage of the world has superpowers which have known and quantified abilities similar to a martial art, most people use them for menial things. The Northern Water Tribe uses waterbending to build their capital as basically Venice made of ice, the Earth Kingdom cities have all kinds of crazy architectural feats because of Earthbenders, Fire Nation steam vehicles are often designed to be run by Firebending in a pinch if you run out of fuel, and Airbender temples were clearly made to be only accessible by flight. Korra later has lightningbending being used as a standard power source, steady if unexciting work.

It would be probably difficult to respect regulations when you're employing a tool that cannot be precisely calibrated or mass produced. Clearly, the movie should have been a "Libertarian firemages vs the Deep State" legal drama, is what I am saying.

Yeah that, and the fact that when two wizards really get into a fight in that world, everyone in the dimension they decide to do it in gets hosed over. Better to just make sure they get seven square meals a day with cheese platters afterwards and a generous supply of the finest sherries, ports and ales.

I do recommend Night Watch and the books, though.
