Celery Face posted:I know Troy is obviously not supposed to be historical, but it was still funny how all the men had perfectly waxed chests. That line stands out so horribly that I wonder if there's any historical context I'm missing or if the writers really thought that insults just mean angrily calling people ordinary household items. "You can of soup!" "You feathered pillow!" "You chair!" etc

Stupid_Sexy_Flander posted:The Nolan batman movies piss me off. Not to mention the idea that Batman, a strategically-minded tactician whose entire thing is finding an enemy's weakness and exploiting it (to the point that he carries around a kryptonite ring) would take one look at Bane's rebreather and NOT try to find a way to rip it off his face.

muscles like this? posted:There was that episode where Wesley was applying to Starfleet and there were all these super crazy and difficult tests and I'm like, really? Every single redshirt went through this crap? I don't think so. The red shirts are probably mostly enlisted, so they only had to score above the 30th percentile on an aptitude test based around 10th grade level knowledge.

Panfilo posted:-How is Stryker so young, when in Wolverine Origins he was at least ten years older? How the hell do you get to be a friggin colonel so young? He was a major, which isn't really unheard of in your 30's. Plus it's said multiple times that he's private sector.

Do you not have this reaction in other movies where characters are cavalier about shooting people and the consequence is, you know, dying?

eating only apples posted:I think The Prestige is my favourite movie, but there's a bunch of dialogue at the end that bugs me. A few pages back, but there were plenty of goons in CineD who went to see the Departed when it came out, couldn't tell the difference between Leonardo DiCaprio and Matt Damon, and came out thinking it was a cerebral existential thriller. The Inglorious Basterds thread had a recurring multiple page derail from people not understanding how Michael Fassbender's character blew his cover. There were goons in this thread who didn't understand why Professor Xavier could walk at the beginning of First Class but not the end. People are terrible at watching movies, and goons aren't even the worst of it. That's why circling the black SUV is a thing.

I was at least halfway through Fight Club before I realized Brad Pitt and Edward Norton were the same person.

EmmyOk posted:I was thinking that but it simply wouldn't work. If they have facehuggers on them I can't see the marines agreeing to bring the bodies with them while trying to fight their way out. In the first movie, when they're trying to remove the facehugger from Kane, Parker repeatedly says "Why don't you guys just freeze him?" It's not too much of a stretch to figure that the SOP in situations where someone has an inoperable medical condition is to put them in cryo and get them back to a proper treatment facility. In the cases of them sending blue collar uninformed nobodies to bring home an alien life form, the crew wasn't meant to survive the mission. They were meant to be expendable nobodies who wouldn't be missed.
