Everything about The Human Centipede could be posted here. I seriously could just make my next 20 posts in this thread about poo poo from that movie. One really weird part was when Heiter imitated chicken clucking but instead of going "cluck cluck cluck" like a regular human being, he chokes out a very guttural "HACKA HOCKA HACKA HAAAA." Seriously, who the gently caress does that. That question could be applied to anything Heiter does, actually.

There is this one part in The Human Centipede when two policeman come to Heiter's (the evil doctor) house because they think he might have a connection with the missing tourists because their car was by his house. Heiter decides to slip roofies into the police officer's drinks presumably to kill them. I know Heiter might be intended to be stupid but I couldn't believe anyone would do that. That obviously would just result in more police officers coming to his house. Despite the fact that they don't trust Heiter, they drink what he gave them. I don't get it. Also, Heiter is pretty evil looking and has the social skills of a bag of skittles. Heiter then freaks out, screams at them, jokes about having a torture chamber in his basement (which he does) and shoves a drugged glass in the face of an officer, wide eyed, creepily telling him to drink it. The police officer actually knocks the glass out of his hands like anyone with a brain would do. Heiter leaves the room and comes back with a needle badly concealed in a towel. When the officers notice it and ask him what it is, Heiter tells them that its insulin while his eyes dart from side to side. The police officers just leave his house. Wouldn't a police officer just handcuff him after that sort of behavior? Are people in horror movies always that stupid? Heiter is German for cheerful.

Freddles posted:Django was a great movie, but I couldn't help but wonder throughout: how did Django (and his wife, moreover) learn to ride a horse? They make such a big fuss throughout the movie about blacks riding horses, and it's not something you just pick up immediately.

Similar to that Taken thing, how come no one in 2012 even acknowledges Tamara's death? She saved the little girl and her dog and drowns while screaming for help. How come the place she was in was filling up with water while the two other containers by her weren't. Gordon dies a horrible death too but no one really cares either. The thing that bugged me the most about that movie was how the bad guy was a total rear end in a top hat but actually made sense so it was impossible to care about anyone.

One thing that really bugs me in Cyberbully is when the main character's friend says that he knows how she feels because his classmates call him homophobic slurs and her response is to roll her eyes and say, "Yeah but you really are gay so why does it matter?" E: Oh and at the end of the movie, a law is passed to monitor every computer and make name calling on the internet illegal. Celery Face has a new favorite as of 21:41 on Jan 28, 2013 |

In Seven Pounds, there's a character with a serious heart condition that prevents her from doing simple things like walking her dog. She has sex with the main character and nothing goes wrong. Her dog also happens to a vegetarian which I'm pretty sure is animal abuse.

Sagebrush posted:Dogs can live just fine on a vegetarian diet as they're naturally omnivorous. Just like a human you'd have to be careful to ensure that they were getting all the needed amino acids and vitamins, by adding animal protein like eggs (note: a vegetarian diet, not a vegan one), but there's no reason a dog couldn't thrive without meat in its diet. Probably wouldn't enjoy it as much though. Also, where the hell did the main character in that movie get a box jellyfish and why did he decide to kill himself with one if he wanted to donate his organs. Another weird thing is that he caused a car crash that killed seven people because he checked his blackberry and yet he's not in jail. Celery Face has a new favorite as of 20:58 on May 5, 2013 |

One of the things I remember most about watching Big is thinking "Oh god, am I the only one in this room who thinks the romance in this movie is creepy and implausible as hell." I mean, he's mentally and emotionally 13 years old and acts even younger and the woman he falls in love with is probably over 30.

Yonic Symbolism posted:Continuing from there: Two characters have had sex, maybe even just once randomly. The woman gets pregnant because safe sex does not exist or never works. The woman carries the child to term because abortions are wrong or are not considered. The two must get together and learn to live with each other for the child's sake. There's probably parts of the cliche combo I'm forgetting.

I love Lilo and Stitch, it's one of my favourite movies and I watched the hell out of the series too, but there was this one thing from the movie that bugged me. Why did the animal shelter owner put Stitch with the other dogs if she thought he was dead? Also, in Jurassic Park, how did Nedry get put in charge of the place's security system if he was so dumb around dinosaurs?

I was entertained by Sin City but it didn't take me long to wonder if Frank Miller might have issues with women. Almost every single female character in it is either a prostitute, a stripper or just walks around in lingerie for no reason. I know action movies tend to objectify women but Sin City has to be the worst offender I've ever seen. This isn't actually in the movie but I still can't believe that the guy who directed Commando doesn't get why people (including the cast of that movie) think that Bennett is gay. How could you watch this part and not notice it.

I'll admit that I loved Transformers when it came out (I was eleven) but I was always weirded out at the part where Sam makes out with his girlfriend on top of Bumblebee while he's a car. Poor Bumblebee. Also, wouldn't it have been easier for the Decepticons to place a bid on ebay for the glasses instead of sending a giant robot cop car to interrogate Sam where people could see. If Buzz Lightyear seriously thought that he was not a toy, but a space ranger then why did he still freeze whenever humans came around. How come Julianne Moore's character in Jurassic Park 2 is so stupid even though she's a scientist and supposed to be really smart. She walks around with the baby t-rex's blood on her jacket, she brings the noisy thing back to her trailer, which attracts the parents and she goes right up to a baby stegosaurus, then its parents almost kill her.

My biggest problem with the King Kong remake is that the whole boat part before they arrive at the island just goes on, and on and it never seems to end. I actually liked the ps2 game more than the movie. Why weren't the female diplomats in Argo wearing hijabs when they were in public and trying not to attract attention. I'm pretty sure at the time that part takes place, women were legally required to wear one. Also, how come that one shopkeeper in the Bazaar scene acts like a scary, irrational, screaming, hysterical crazy person just because one diplomat starts taking pictures of his store. It was way over the top and no one acts like that. I'm probably just biased because I'm Canadian but I hate how Ken Taylor is reduced to a minor character even though he played a much bigger role in getting the diplomats out than Tony Mendez and the CIA did. Even Jimmy Carter called the movie out on that. That scene at the end where they go "Yay, we couldn't have done it without Canada" seemed really tacked on and felt like it was put there because someone told Ben Affleck that the rescue of the diplomats was called The Canadian Caper for a reason. At least it's still better than Black Hawk Down about giving credit to nations other than America. I haven't seen Black Hawk Down, but my history teacher who showed us Argo said that he couldn't finish Black Hawk Down because of how much it got wrong and how racist it was towards Somalis.

Another problem I had with Argo is that a shitload of the dialogue made me think "Come on, no one talks like this." I know it's a movie but it's a really basic rule that characters are supposed to talk somewhat like real people. This was probably just me but I was distracted by the fact that Ben Affleck only had like 4 facial expressions throughout the film.

I can't believe Rob Schneider put himself in yellowface in 2007. And no, Rob Schneider, being half Filipino doesn't stop it from being racist as gently caress. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zdja5DSb2O8 This is something I'd expect from Breakfast At Tiffany's and at least that movie was released in 1961.

I was watching The Untouchables in my history through film class today and everyone in the room was laughing at how Sean Connery's character takes a ridiculously long time to die after being shot a billion times in the torso with a machine gun. Also, why did they cast Sean Connery to play an Irish guy?

There's this one part in The Untouchables where the main character thinks his kids are in danger, so he runs into his house brandishing a gun. He goes into his daughter's room, sees that she's okay, embraces her and everything is all right. Except that his gun is lined up to his daughter's head and his finger's on the trigger.

Speaking of crappy accents, I watched Van Helsing for the first time in years and realized that Kate Beckinsale's "Romanian" accent was godawful. Also, it was pretty stupid that she's supposed to be a badass vampire slayer but has to get rescued every five minutes. If we're talking about tv shows, there's one thing in Orange Is The New Black that really confuses me. I love that show but it's baffling that the main character, Piper, is really obviously bisexual, but everyone on the show just calls her "gay" or "straight." When Piper explains to her family that she had a relationship with a woman, they ask her if she's still a lesbian even though she's engaged to a (very unlikeable) dude. When she later cheats on her fiance with the same women, his reaction isn't "oh my god, my fiance's cheating on me," as much as "oh my god, Piper's gay now!" Even Piper's ex girlfriend calls her as a "straight girl" at one point. To be fair, Piper tries to explain to her friends that she's attracted to both men and women but they cut her off. It's weird, I've seen a lot of tv shows and movies with the same problem.

Maybe I'm wrong but that stab wound that the kid in Pay It Forward gets at the end of the movie didn't really look bad enough to kill him. Especially since an ambulance was called almost instantly. I also thought that the stabbing was super oscar bait-y and messed up the movie's message a little.

I thought it was weird how I Now Pronounce You Chuck And Larry was supposed to have a pro gay message, but every single gay (no one's bisexual or transgender) character in it acts like a flaming stereotype. Like, as soon as Ving Rhame's big scary fireman character comes out, he starts mincing around and singing campy 80's songs in the shower. In the movie, Adam Sandler is apparently good looking enough to be banging every woman in town, but he's pretending to be in a gay relationship with his friend which gets some people suspicious. The conflict would seriously be solved if he said he was bi and in an open relationship with his friend. Also, none of the gay characters stand up for themselves, Adam Sandler does it for them by cheating the system to get benefits and punching anti-gay protesters in the face. (Considering those protesters are obviously supposed to be WBC members, that's a very bad idea) I can't believe I'm in grade 12 and most of my classmates still think Adam Sandler movies are clever and hilarious. They shouldn't be funny to anyone over 10.

If the people who made the Prince Of Persia movie wanted the identity of the villain to be a secret, then why did they cast Ben Kingsley? Though it can be hilarious when a bad guy is super obvious but none of the characters see anything off about him. The Human Centipede was ridiculous about that.

Strom Cuzewon posted:Kingsley is another actor who'll do any part, but I get the impression the dude just loves the hell out of acting. Something I really don't get about one of the Twilight movies, how come Leah is treated like a bitch for being bitter about her long term boyfriend (who is supposed to be a really nice guy) suddenly dumping her for her cousin whom he just met? Said boyfriend also ends up badly scarring the cousin's face when she tells him to go back to Leah, so the cousin just gives up and decides to be with him anyway. I mean, any sane person would be pissed. This is pretty common and similar to what I said about Orange Is The New Black, but I'll say it anyway. Gigli is a terrible movie but why does everyone (including Ricki herself) refer to Ricki as a "lesbian" if she happily sleeps with Ben Affleck and some other dudes. Does Ben Affleck have magic powers that makes lesbians fall for him or were the people who were involved in the movie just really stupid?

Part of which makes me think the film is as much about saying how Smith sees bisexuality in the gay/lesbian/straight communities as it is the 'straight guy/lesbian love story' plot.

Kind of reminds me of how in Thirteen Days, an American spy plane keeps getting sent over Cuba and gets shot at quite a few times. Even though everyone in the entire world knows that America is sending spy planes over Cuba, the main characters all act really surprised when the plane gets shot down. Also, why did they hire Bruce Greenwood to play JFK. He looks and sounds nothing like him. But by far the worst thing about Thirteen Days is Kevin Costner's horrible Boston "accent." I mentioned this earlier but I forgot to give a link. It really needs to be seen to be believed. It's especially awful because you have to listen to it for two and a half hours. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tho5ZYLiuoc&t=4m3s Celery Face has a new favorite as of 05:35 on Dec 8, 2013 |

Cowslips Warren posted:Non Hunger Game poo poo: I loved Let the Right One In, but the American version made Eli/Abbey way more hosed up than the initial movie, or even the book where Eli's 'helper' is a known pedophile who actually pays a kid for sex, but changes his mind when he sees the kid had all of his teeth ripped out. In the American movie, the helper wasn't some adult Abbey met, it was a boy she ran off with, who grew up and aged and finally was killed when he was of no more use to her. In the book, Eli is actually distraught after he has to kill his helper and has a small snap about why he can't keep anyone in his life. So Eli did seem to have some platonic feelings for his helper. Meanwhile Abbey is just looking for another slave. Eli is a LOT more likeable, so why change that?
