NorgLyle posted:I know my last post in this thread was also about Star Wars but I swear that I do watch other movies sometimes. I always thought that Yoda was saying no and making excuses to Luke to see if Luke was really committed to the training, or if he would peace out as soon as he heard a no. This plays into his old kung fu master persona.

El Cid posted:Speaking of book-Chewie how was Chewbacca even handled in the Star Wars books? Like... do authors just always have someone around to translate for him? It just doesn't seem like it would feel right if he had directly translated lines in the book, like "'Oh no, look out, a Storm Trooper!' roared Chewie". Yeah usually Han or Lando or whoever just translated for him.

kizudarake posted:That I can't think of the right words to search for this iconic LA area house from TV and movies. It's one story, all white concrete and glass walls, and surrounds a pool set in the deck, which juts out over the canyon below. They specifically use it in the first two episodes of season 7 of Archer. There is no privacy in the bedroom from the living room.  Stahl House 22? http://stahlhouse.com/

Slime posted:In the cartoon series there's plenty of supernatural nasties that were never human. Actually even in the original you've got hellhounds and a god so even there not all the things the ghostbusters take out are literal ghosts of dead humans. To elaborate, some of the things they fought were direct manifestations of intense negative emotions, according to some of the background material I've read. Some of that might be from the comic books though. Even look at the things animated by the mood slime in GB2.

Agent355 posted:Sorta the same issue is how I can't stand reality TV because I know it's fake but it's trying to pretend it's real. Sure some of it might be real but I'm always left wondering how much of what I see is fake editing wrapped around a bit of truth. That's definitely one of the reasons that reality TV is awful. Every single one has the same stupid editing, same stupid music, same "confessionals" same cliffhangers that amount to nothing at every commercial break. It's all so contrived.

Tunicate posted:The no-drama ones like Henson's creature shop challenge are fun, since they can't really use the generic forced drama. My wife and I started watching this show on PBS called Market Warriors that was actually entertaining. It was like antiques roadshow combined with Flea Market Flip. A little bit of stupid drama but they regularly go into a lot of detail into the history/background of some of the different objects.

Tiggum posted:The thing that irrationally irritates me about Bojack Horseman is that they're animals. Why are they animals? What does the show gain by having animals as characters instead of humans? Those occasional jokes where someone has a particular trait because of what type of animal they are? Those are the worst part of the show. For surrealism and because its ironic to have stupid animal jokes in an otherwise dark show.

Sunswipe posted:If they didn't mention it, it would be the only piece of Alien fiction that didn't. It must be possible to come up with some plotline other than "Assholes are trying to use xenomorphs as weapons, xenos get out of control, ninety minutes of gore and jumpscares, someone escapes." The only reason the Nostromo even went to LV-426 is because Mother detected the signal from the Star Jockey craft and the Company wants to get its hands on any alien technology. And then remember that Bilbo Baggins was trying to use the crew as incubators to bring back the Xenomorph.

Calaveron posted:Also this is my irritating movie moment why come movies now don't have the title at the beginning and do it now at the very end before credits, that's so obnoxious So there's actually a mildly interesting explanation for this. The various guilds and unions have contractually obligated requirements for how credit is given to their members. This will vary slightly from production to production. The old convention was to put all the credits at the beginning, and then just have a title card saying "The End" at the conclusion of the film. This is why older movies have really long boring credits sequences at the beginning. It was supposed to be imitating a playbill as if it were a live production. George Lucas was actually fined $250,000 by the director's guild of america because he didn't put his own name in the beginning of Star Wars in 1977. A lot of movies nowadays will just have a title card at the beginning. Many modern films will actually have 2 closing credits sequences because they are obligated to list certain credits twice and with no opening credits, this is the only solution. Independent films can pretty much do whatever they want if they don't have any union involvement.

yeah I eat rear end posted:Movies that end on a "gently caress you" note. Like this movie I just finished called Primal Rage: The Legend of Oh-Mah (would not recommend, especially if you don't like the idea of a bigfoot rape scene), the protagonist beats the bigfoot in a heroic last stand and you think he is about to go home, but then nope, two more bigfoots kill him and fade to credits. There was absolutely no indication that there were more than one of them in the area for the entire rest of the movie. It's like that comedy cliche they used to do where the character is yelling in the street or whatever and gets plowed over by a bus, but instead of being funny it's just annoying and makes me felt like I wasted my time watching it. Every loving horror movie does this and its more of a surprise when they don't at this point

It's the entire reason he and Obi-Wan went into exile, so that they could hopefully be able to help spark a revolution against Palpatine when the time was right. Yeah that part is just some kung-fu movie BS where the student has to prove to the sensei that he REALLY REALLY wants to be trained.
