In Justified one of the episodes follows a guy who's killing folks in an interesting way. Before the end of the episode, we see the bad guy take off in a Taxi.

As we see the main character walk up to his hotel room, you can see a taxi parked in the background out of focus.

Why did they bring the medical frigate to the attack on the second Death Star? And for that matter, what reason other than "lol evil" was there for any of the Imperial forces to prioritise the medical frigate over combat vessels? It's almost like these films were written for children.

Not all Nebulon B frigates are medical frigates.

It is definitely one of my most favourite Chris Evans' roles and I hope he likes it. I remember reading an article a while ago about all his roles before the MCU and he says there is one he absolutely detests and I have always been trying to figure out which one it was. Maybe Johnny Storm?

I really hope it's not The Losers. That's the first role of his I saw him in that I loved him in.

The whole bit with him gaining entrance into the building through social engineering and his escape had me laughing so loving hard and I still use some of the lines from that bit.

Edit: Also I just rewatched The Core and it's still a fun romp that I in no way recommend people on any kind of "It's a good movie" level.

In all fairness, other #1 films in the US in 1993 include Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 3, Cop and a Half, Cliffhanger and The Beverly Hillbillies. So yeah, 90% of movies that come out now are trash, no doubt but 90% of movies that came out then were also trash. Its just you remember the ones you like.

Um

Top films in 1993

    Jurassic Park
    Mrs Doubtfire
    The Fugitive
    Schindler's List
    The Firm
    Indecent Proposal
    Cliffhanger
    Sleepless in Seattle
    Philadelphia
    The Pelican Brief

Cop and a half and TMNT 3 opened at number 1 for their opening week. Like, TMNT grossed 1/5th total what the last movie on that top 10 list made.

It actually implies movies that were number one at the box office. Why do you think someone saying "movies that were number one at the box office" would mean "movies that were not number one at the box office for the year but still did quite well overall in that period?"

They never said that. vOv. Which was my point.

Android Apocalypse posted:

I kinda want to watch TMNT 3 again. I saw Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2: The Secret of the Ooze recently and I kind of want some completion on that era's trilogy.

I thought 2 was pretty fun, had a lot of backstory, even if they hosed up not having bebop and rocksteady, and replaced them with Tokka and Rahzar.

Same with Red Dwarf (the UK sci-fi sitcom that started in the 80s, for those unaware)

Signs on Red Dwarf are often in English and Esperanto, and there are quite a few jokes about it in the first two series.

The books go into more detail than the show does.

The book series Magic 2.0 has one set of wizards using Esperantu for their spells because it was invented hundreds of years in the future and there's basically 0 chance any of the local people will know it.

I've heard that one of the theories for why we forget things like that is that our brains try to highlight the memories we're looking for and deliberately hide the "irrelevant" ones, meaning that if the correct memory is accidentally included with the "irrelevant" ones in a given moment, trying harder to remember it will just bury it further as those internal filters double down -- which certainly matches what it feels like!

And why it feels SO GOOD to shout out the word you were looking for 1 hour later.

This reminded me of a post I saw somewhere of a guy & his wife who were cooking in the kitchen & he asked for the "meat tweezers" (tongs) :lol:

Friend of mine wrote her shopping list down and then went to the store. When she got to "sugar", she couldn't read it right, and wondered what "soogare" was.

It was perfectly legible, as sugar. But her brain kept giving her "soogare"

Subtle bit in the Wheel of Time show. In one of the nightmares Perrin has, there's a very obvious moment when the man with fire for eyes shows up right in front of him and is gone again just a few frames later. It's very obvious.

What I *didn't* catch until I saw it for the 3rd time, is that the man with fire for eyes is creeping on Perrin in the window before then.

Yea, there must have been some way to show Peck and Co that they're providing a valuable service by containing the harmful ghosts.

Although I still can't get over how ridiculous and dumb Ghostbusters 2's plot point of "The entirety of NYC and the world now doesn't believe in ghosts/weird poo poo despite hundreds of thousands, of not millions, of people witnessing with their own eyes ears and hands, a massive walking marshmallow man and many other ghostly entities". It doesn't even really change the plot, it just serves to sort of negate a lot of things from the first in ways that don't really make sense.

Nothing about the last few years has lead me to believe that "everyone just thought it was a hoax" is somehow unrealistic or a stretch of the imagination.

I don't think that a music choice really removes all possible ambiguity on someone's status of "bad guy". Especially since the music playing when the T800 is at the mall and saves John is very much "bad guy" music.

He needed sunglasses because he had sunglasses to cover his robot eye in the first movie.


There is the reason.

CainFortea
Oct 15, 2004


My point wasn't that music doesn't change a scene.

My point is that music alone is not going to destroy any ambiguity on the good/bad guy status. Also because a later music choice would support the idea that the T800 in T2 is a bad guy. Having both types of music supports ambiguity, it doesn't end it.

Not nearly as much as T2 but still a good amount.

Yea, Dark Fate was good enough to be counted as one of the actual Terminator movies. So much so that when people say "T3" I get confused when they're not talking about Dark Fate.
