Gravitas Shortfall posted:Also, if you look closely, one of the zombies outside the winchester is Tires, the constantly raving mood-swing inflicted bike courier from Spaced. poo poo, I wondered why that zombie jumped out at me.  Also, though The Dictator isn't a particularly subtle film, there's one really fun visual joke they use at the end. At the start of the film the main character Aladeen is driven and escorted by a fleet of gold-plated SUVs, which (obviously) consume a lot of petrol and aren't very 'green'. Later on after he's fallen for the democracy-loving hippy girl, all those cars have been replaced with eco-friendly hybrids.

Just saw Dredd for the first time. Karl Urban.  Comparatively minor compared to some of the moments in the thread, but the sheer weight of Dredd's movements added a huge amount to the sense of power and force behind him. It's especially notable in the slo-mo lab stand-off with the corrupt Judges. Every foot step is a great big thud, you can hear their armor stretching and the guns look and feel incredibly weighty. I love it when a film gets its sound direction so dead on.

And with Leliana in Dragon Age, who is French both in and out of character.

Wild T posted:OCP is one of my favorite portrayals of an Evil Megaconglomerate, mostly because (Dick Jones aside) they're never show as actually being bad guys, just so utterly disconnected from the real world that human life doesn't matter to them anymore. They see nothing wrong with deliberately attempting to get the best cops killed or maimed just to further their project. They bicker about cost overruns and deadlines over the rapidly cooling body of another executive. By comparison Boddicker is an evil man, but he actually puts value on a human life (if only because he enjoys ending them). He may be a sadistic psychopath but at least he has emotions, they're utterly nihilistic. "That's just life in the big city." While it wasn't particularly subtle, I did enjoy that the Robocop reboot had OCP be pretty competent - just totally loving sociopathic. Their killer death robots actually worked properly (or, at least, worked the way they were intended to) and it was only greed got involved that things went tits up.

Eisenberg absolutely owns the role and you can tell he's really into it - ton of verbal and behavioral tics that make him seem like Luthor's just on the edge of cracking, somewhere between completely in control and total mental breakdown. In a lot of scenes he's making other characters uncomfortable by getting into their personal space, talking far too closely, talking a lot of bullshit, etc. If you dislike comic book movies veering away from established personalities you'll hate him, but I felt it was a great take on the character.

Yeah, they made him unstable as well as 20 steps ahead of everyone else?

Your Gay Uncle posted:The sense of scale in RO was really amazing. The DeathStar in orbit and the test fire scene in particular were great. I wasn't surprised when I found out it was the same director as the last Godzilla movie. Pity the rest of sucked. "It's beautiful" says Krennic, no doubt hiding his boner alongside the audience's.

jabby posted:It's not exactly subtle, but a moment I liked from Suicide Squad was when Enchantress shows all the characters their deepest desire... and Deadshot sees himself killing Batman. It's especially great because his daughter is nowhere to be found in that sequence.
