And somehow, the things that bother me the most are that (a) sharks aren't dinosaurs dammit and (b) would it have killed them to use a shark skull in the logo?

Sharks don't have skulls.

The effect is all wrong though, as the motion lines on the poster make it look like the ship is flying backwards, away from the viewer.

I'm sure there's a good technobabble reason to explain it though!

It's in reverse.

What does the impressiveness of the final product have anything to do with the impressiveness of the means of achieving it?

CGI is terrible and for dumbs. I will accept nothing less than actually detonating a nuclear bomb.

Oblivion looks kinda of neat, but then I remember I already own the Life After People DVD sets.


Y'know, the game wasn't bad, either as a game or an adaption of the Inferno.

But good lord why would you pick the Longfellow translation for the tie-in? It's as stuffed-shirt overwrought as it can possibly be.

I agree. Eureka is a term with a Greek origin, so Greek. And Typhoon is what Japan calls a hurricane, so that's the Japanese one. Did I win?

Only the Russian one makes sense, because everyone remembers Chernobyl. Even if my predictive typing can't spell it.

No, no. Crimson Typhoon = Red Storm = Russia.

Apparently, these days the writers and/or Rami claim the butler was supposed to be a figment of Harry's imagination, putting the pieces together about what actually happened. Which is madness, but I sort of believe them? Like, they wanted to have Harry looking over evidence, but then test audiences didn't get it, so they added the butler.

Or they're all morons.

It's subtle, but when Harry talks to the butler earlier in the movie when Peter's there, you can see Peter have a "...who is he talking to?" look on his face.

Then where did women even come from?

Hephaestus forged her out of bronze, then Zeus All-Thunderer breathed life into her. The Gods granted her numerous gifts, including a sealed jar, and sent her to Earth as punishment upon men for their use of the fire stolen from Olympus.

While I like that she's reaching for the Earth in the first one, I think the final poster works better with her getting thrown away from home, instead of being dangled above it. She's not being held up by anything, she's unable to get down.

I think is also fits the whole disorientation thing to have Earth on the side instead of "down".

Nah, the jetpack is for the ending, where the Rock flies into space and turns back time to undo the disaster.

The flying is the best part of those games in the first place. I remember someone posting something vaguely technical about why the RC missions are so brutal, though, but I already forgot the explanation.

The RC plane controls take from your Pilot skill. But they pop up in San Fierro before the pilot school is unlocked, so unless you stole a plane and flew around enough to get your skill up the hard way or you leave the missions until after you go through the school (which gives 100% pilot skill), the RC plane handles like a tiny drunken cow.

That dinosaur probably wears the red bob better than her. I'm also unironically looking forward to when the JP thread gets closed because spergs can't stop arguing over how a dinosaur can run in high heels, even if those heels are biologically built-into the feet.

Dinosaurs (therapods, at least) can totally run in high heels, because their heels never touch the ground anyway.
