I think it was Red Mars that got into the physical complexities of living on Mars and according to that book, you'd have to live several feet underground in order to avoid constant exposure to stellar radiation due to the lack of a magnetosphere. No thank you.

I will say that some movies/shows have really put a lot of effort into getting gun fights to be super intense compared to '80s-'90s era shootouts which are on par with Always Sunny's mocking representation in their lethal weapon home movies. Generation Kill was pretty good at that with a pretty low body count kind of depiction of war and Sicario comes to mind for the shootout at the border and in the caves. John Wick movies just kinda get silly after a while though because that's really all there is to it.

Not gonna lie and say I don't enjoy the JW movies, but there's not a lot of substance beyond watching him shoot plenty of dudes and then reload at the appropriate time and manipulate a bunch of guns.

Gejimayu posted:Isn't Sunshine the movie that starts as fairly serious sci fi and ends with a stupid sun zombie chasing everyone around? cause that sucked. It's like that Futurama episode where Leela keeps insisting that Fry has ocean madness, but in space. Both well documented phenomena.

In the comedy series Au Service de la France, the colonel is reading a book in bed titled mémoires de guerre by Charles de Gaulle, but the dust jacket slips off and you can see for a second that he's actually reading a book called la vie exemplaire de Phillip Pétain and it's later revealed that the colonel was a collaborator

Lemony posted:Oh man, I never noticed that and it is a fantastic detail. I'm glad someone else has seen it. I've mentioned this to coworkers living in France and even they were unaware of this wonderful series. My favorite throwaway joke is during training for Algeria, the main character ignores the woman in a hijab and the agent stops the training to yell at him that "in the context of terrorism, women must be considered people!" Another somewhat subtle, but later overt, joke is when the agent's tenants in Alger were all killed by Merlaux because he identified them as terrorists, the agent is on the phone talking to a new potential tenant, and he says something like "oh, four generals, ok!" later revealed to be the founding members of the OAS

franco posted:Not quite the same but magician Paul Daniels did a live Halloween special in the 80s where, while performing an escape artist bit with an iron maiden, the door slammed shut on him, the screen dimmed, and an announcer in the studio told the audience to leave in an orderly fashion. Roll credits with no audio. Went to an escape artist live show thing and the big finale was the guy escaping from a tank of water and they really built up how dangerous it was as part of the act and I realized woof i don't like the idea of potentially seeing someone die in front of me

Right, but part of the entertainment is the idea that it's dangerous and that was the part that turned me off a lot is what I was saying
