Morpheus posted:The movie Hush does a good job, from what I remember, of having both the protagonist and antagonist win their respective fights and yet having the other side getting away, without them being dumb. Each get wounded, struggling more and more to fight as the movie progresses, never really giving quarter to the other, because if at any point they're incapacitated, they know they're going to die. Hush does a good job with this, mostly, but it suffers massively from the trope of an outsider showing up and missing all the massive red flags that something is wrong and the protagonist getting dumber when they show up.

DrBouvenstein posted:I decided to re-watch The Lost World: Jurassic Park since I don't think I've actually seen it in over twenty years. For me it's easily the second best of the entire franchise. Nothing in the World series even comes close to it. Even the third one, which I find very middling, is better than anything the World films have to show for themselves.

Henchman of Santa posted:Been watching The Killing and the rain in this show is driving me nuts. Yes, we all know it rains in Seattle. It does not have a torrential downpour like this every day! The city would be flooded on the reg if it did. The only person putting any effort into The Killing was whoever operated the rain machine.

Tall Tale Teller posted:I can't say we're friends, and I doubt he'd remember me but it turns out I know CC better than most people. He's a major league rear end in a top hat to everybody but he's also 100% damaged goods. When nobody in your life ever tells you "No" he's what you get. So... he's Bojack Horseman?

Fil5000 posted:He deserved to be ruined, destroying a world famous piece of art to do it is possibly a bit far. The Mona Lisa didn't do anything wrong. Don't they establish right at the end that it was never the real Mona Lisa and the gallery just gave him a reproduction to shut him up? Almost like he can't tell the difference between the real deal and a fake/duplicate/twin.

bitterandtwisted posted:I don't remember that at all and it would ruin the revenge plan surely? I've found it. My memory was recalling an interview with Rian Johnson where he said the below; Rian Johnson posted:"We also shot a little coda which we decided not to use, with Blanc on the phone speaking French and getting a little affirmation of 'ah, oui, oui, merci,'" Johnson said, "and cutting to an office in the Louvre where the real 'Mona Lisa' is, with the security guards saying 'well, back to work.'" That scene isn't in the film, however. Johnson explained that it felt like pulling a punch, saying he prefers the version of "Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery" that audiences got — the one where the "Mona Lisa" and her famous smile go up in flames.

NorgLyle posted:Whenever I watch Jurassic Park 3 my brain will briefly complain during the reveal that William H Macy and Tea Leoni are frauds about 'then how did they hire the mercenaries?' Yeah, it's kind of a totally unnecessary reveal that just raises more questions than answers.

Fil5000 posted:That reminds me of the Will Arnett show "Running Wilde" that lasted 13 episodes in 2011 and featured Peter Serafinowicz, a white man from Liverpool, as "Fa'ad Shaoulin" in what is definitely brownface. You really just left out the best bit of Peter Serafinowicz's character so it would be a surprise didn't you?

Phanatic posted:In the Netflix adaptation of Three-Body Problem, the show starts off present-day by telling us that particle colliders all across the world have started turning out results that completely contradict all known theory. And the response to this, globally, is "how disappointing, we might as well shut down all the particle accelerators. The scientists themselves are depressed and glum. The entire show presents science as this kind of drab office job that no one really enjoys. Every single character whose a scientist shows no loving enthusiasm for the amazing events taking place around them or any inquisitiveness or scientific method when confronted by these events. For example when one of the scientist sees the countdown projected on her optic nerve she just gets sad and accepts it, rather than loving doing test or trying to figure out it's limits or origin. When she's told that the countdown will end if she cancels her big science project this is news to her, despite the fact she could of checked when the countdown ended and discovered it corresponded with her big pre-planned demonstration of said science project, so she'd at least of linked the two.

Hardcordion posted:The scientists know something huge and unprecedented has happened to change our observation of particle physics across the globe but they're blind to actually investigate it. I'd be depressed too, honestly. It's presented with all the depth of a standard office job though, like the loving printer isn't working so you can't file your next shipping document properly. There's no hunger to know what's going on. These 5 characters come together, who are supposedly all geniuses, and they are less interested in the complete dissolution of particle physics, the sky blinking, and one of them seeing an ominous countdown and more in talking about whose loving who now or who the boss liked more.
