TheSpiritFox posted:You cannot "expect" a flash bang. The magnesium burn is bright enough to literally temporarily blind you and the sound is designed to be loud and powerful enough to gently caress with your inner ear. Bane even says "Theatricality and Deception" which is not what a flash bang is. Flash bangs are straight up incapacitation. Yeah Batman would be pretty bad hero if he flashbanged himself and spent the rest of the film doing this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tekhh7Iy-sM

bobkatt013 posted:The special effects are very good for the time and budget that the film had. Also it was so well received the sequel came out 7 years after the first one. It is also the film that caused Arnold and James Cameron's career to explode. If you get the blu ray there's a brilliant bit during the bike chase where John Connor is clearly a 40 ish man on a bike. I guess it worked in the cinema etc. but now that tv's can do 100hz or whatever it's hilariously obvious.

Cream_Filling posted:Uh, film has better resolution than even HDTV, and having a higher refresh rate doesn't help when the source is only 24 fps. The reason it worked in cinema is because you're going "ohh poo poo the terminator's going to gently caress his poo poo up" and not hitting pause every few minutes because you've seen the movie like 20 times already. I thought that up until LCD's could do 100hz they couldn't actually manage proper 24fps playback natively and there was some odd interpolation used? Also before someone points it out, I do realise that refresh rate is not applicable to LCD panels. Anyway, regardless of this, here's the actual shot:

Esroc posted:It bugs me in movies that take place in the future where the main character has some kind of obsession with what would be considered to them as ancient culture. Most recently Oblivion did this and I, Robot did as well. I'm going to drag this up to say that I actually had the JVC stereo that appears in I, Robot (complete with awesome "cylindrical speakers" that were just regular speakers in a round cabinet), and that thing was the poo poo. I bought it at least 2 years before the film as well so I was clearly setting a trend that lasted ~50 years. Decius posted:I, Robot takes place in 2035. Wearing stuff from 2010 doesn't seem more out of place than wearing stuff people were wearing in the Sixties or Seventies - which happens all the time. Converse look the way they look for about 100 years now, no reason to think they won't be something worn by people in 25 years. When Elsysium came out there was an incredibly whiny comment article in the paper about "why sci fi has no vision anymore" which complained that in Elysium there was no "vision" because how are we supposed to believe people still wear suits in the future? It also complained that the Fifth Element had the same problem which is a giant  because I don't see many muscle guys in tiny shorts and guys in leopard print body suits in my day to day life, but then maybe I'm just going to the wrong places as I don't have a flying asian guy coming to the window of my 500th floor house and giving me dim sum either.

Roblo posted:I dont even know how to describe the stock sound I hate, and I can only think of two instances of it at the moment,bit I hear it all the time. Its a kind of "woosh" sound. I know exactly the one you mean, it's a sort of "swtooosh" noise. This has reminded me a) how great Magic Carpet was and b) how much hearing that noise and worse, the Wilhelm Scream piss me off. You're spending $X million on a film, get some loving sound guys that aren't internet nerds for god's sake. Edit: The meteor sound effect from Magic Carpet turns up all over the place as well.

Well it would be a pretty annoying program if they just went "Well we'll see you in court" and then you had to watch 30 hours of legal proceedings to get the pay off. Or a really successful one.

From what I dimly remember fallout is primarily ground matter that's been irradiated and then sucked up the mushroom cloud hence why airbursts are cleaner. So detonating a nuke in space isn't going to be too much of a worry past the "oops it's gonna fall on my head" problem. And maybe blinding anyone looking at it.

Jesus Christ it's not even a film for gently caress's sake shut up about it. Kickass 2 was mediocre but it annoys me that at the end their third friend is all back with the group and now a "real hero" after he saved that one guy despite the fact that he directly caused the death of Dave's father which he seems to have forgotten about. Also it would take the police about 10 minutes to have tracked the whole bunch of them down but nobody seems to care, they didn't even have the corruption excuse of the first film.

JediTalentAgent posted:I know it's a debunked theory and all, but I always like to imagine Forrest Gump as being the recollections of a guy who is an unreliable narrator who has trouble processing reality that he imagines things that he sees on TV or hearing about from other people as happening to him as a way to explain his being at the center of history all the time. No you see we are all Forrest Gump.

In Captain America 2 I liked how the winter soldier is "a ghost, a rumour that nobody believes" according to Romanov, yet at the end she says "I called in some favours in Moscow, here's the top secret file." Questions: a ghosts greatest weakness.
