Varjon posted:If you remove that movie from the later context and just go on what's said, jedis were unheard of and Vader was just some creepy rear end in a top hat in a weird suit. That doesn't even change much in empire or jedi, either. It wasn't until the EU made everyone and their dog a force user and the prequel movies made darth vader into the most important thing ever that this hole opens up, but man, it sure does swallow a big portion of what made the jedi so mysterious and cool. Eh, not quite. Obi Wan even talks about the wars and stuff, so you'd think that he would've at least been aware of the magical power users jumping around the galaxy.

That wasn't the movie they were discussing, unless I somehow missed it in there. They're discussing World War Z. However - In the book, they used reconstituted blood and something else to abate the need to feed. And some percentage of the 'turned' were saved by a mutation of the virus that left them in control of their minds despite being 'dead'. So the protagonist, who had been going around murdering people who actually weren't mindless killers realized that, in this new society, he was the monster that would haunt their legends into the future, the same way the vampires had haunted non-vampire people due to outbreaks in the past.

Dr_Amazing posted:Years ago there was supposed to be a leaked script that had everyone raving about how great WWZ was going to be. Was that the Russia ending or something else? A full script was written by Ike guy. It got leaked and looked awesome. Some weird poo poo happened with the rights, and suddenly a new script was written by another guy in conjunction with a new studio or something. The new script absolutely sucked rear end and is the one that got made. At least that's my memory of the development cycle.

Silly Newbie posted:Sure, it's not unreliable that the zombies are frozen. What's unknown is why they freeze, or why they thaw, or how they keep moving afterwards. The book doesn't try to definitively answer those questions, which is good, since any reason he came up with would be stupid. Obviously the zombie virus makes a natural antifreeze like some small animals and microorganisms do.

Slim Killington posted:No yeah I get how they hand-waved away why it's totally an okay thing for it to happen, but the execution was dreadful and it dragged on for way too long for how badly it was done. The were filmed underwater and in premise yeah, that's the way to go, but it just didn't work. Nothing about the sequence worked, from the eyes to the skin icing over, it was just very bad. I disagree, it just didn't bother me that a modified half robot alien chick and a half-alien dude, both using a magic space mask to survive at various times were able to survive until they got picked up, especially since it was really quick that they got picked up. The only thing about the movie that really got on my nerves was when they're at the very end and they all have the infinity stone, and the badguy is like HOW YOU ARE MORTALS!? and Quinn delivers a line like 'lol u no y bich, we're the gardens of the galaxy' and it's just really, really bad. And it irritated the poo poo out of me. But I hate those sort of lines in general. It also just didn't fit the somewhat self aware tone of the movie up to and beyond that point.

Who What Now posted:Assuming that the second best scenario (in Waland-Yutani's eyes, anyway) does occur and the alien gets chest-birthed and all the crew gets murdered leaving Ash to happily fly the ship home, what is expected to happen to the xenomorph? Can they go into a hibernation periods or was it supposed to starve to death, and having a dead xenomorph is better than no xenomorph? I don't think they know 100%, but they can deal with it however they want once the sealed ship lands at their private facility.

In Edge of Tomorrow, that lovely Tom Cruise movie based on some manga or whatever? You lose the power to go back in time when you die to change poo poo if you get a blood transfusion. However, you never would've figured that out because if you got killed again, to find out whether you had the power or not, you'd just be dead for real. It's a massive plot hole.

That was the only way to get dramatic tension going, yeah? How did she know that's when she lost the power? She would've had to test it by dying. I mean I guess he 'felt' it. Is fine or whatever, but it's irritating.

Perestroika posted:If you're in the mood for silly zombie murdering stuff, consider giving Z Nation a try. It actually embraces the premise right away and aims to be just plain entertaining and fun first and foremost, while still managing to sneak in some drama now and then. The characters are enjoyably competent for a change, and also have a discrete long-term goal to strive towards. The first two episodes are a bit rough, but it quickly finds its pace after that. Almost watched it. Saw DJ Qualls was in it. No thank you. Guess I'll never get a decent zombie show.

theironjef posted:The Mosasaurus is the Jurassic World trailer is way the goddamn hell too big. It's shown swallowing a big Great White whole which would make it easily around 100-110 feet long, and Mosasaurus topped out around 50-59. It'd be fine if the tone of the trailer wasn't Chris Pratt being surprised at engineering new dinosaur traits, since they clearly already have a giant terrifying adult one around he should have known about. Clearly, without any other predators and in a large enough enclosure they can grow to be bigger. Just like some animals grow bigger in captivity due to good feeding/conditions/etc.

And his d-bag lawyer who wants them to say "shut it down before you get sued! It's too dangerous!" No, in the tour's video he even references himself as if he'd be present at the tour each time it happened. "Hello John!" and "I'll need a drop of blood, your blood." only for him to start cloning more John Hammonds. I mean it could've been a video made for special tours, but it looks more like he's going to be there for each one. Of course, that could also just be John Hammond being a rich old kook who actually would be there for 3 tours a day. After all, he's got a million lines of code running his park, why would he need to do anything?!

Imagined posted:In the same way that Guardians of the Galaxy can be imagined to be a film adaptation of some group's pen-and-paper roleplaying campaign, it occurred to me that Edge of Tomorrow is basically what would happen if a video game speedrun were turned into a movie. Do the same "levels" over and over and over and over and over again until you can do it perfectly in the fastest, most efficient way possible by sheer muscle memory. I really like that, and I think I read somewhere that the guy who first wrote the (book? anime book?) got his inspiration from that.

It really annoyed me that they translated it as 'boogeyman'. While sort of accurate in that they both serve the same function, there are a lot better things to call an angry killer who stalks in the night from Russian folklore. You could throw a dart at a board listing every Russian folklore character and hit one. It's Russia, all they do is dark and depressing. Hell, just remembering American Gods, Chernobog would've been a way better name, especially with Wick's swap back and forth between a life of normalcy/good and murder/evil.

They don't really penetrate is the issue, so unless vampires have paper skin, they won't be useful. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wooden_bullet They're mostly used for crowd control, like rubber bullets.

The worst being that supposedly the rounds would splinter upon entering a victim, and become extremely difficult to properly treat. Huh I was unfamiliar with that. That's really interesting.
