So in The Matrix, why do the Agents have such lovely aim? They aren't even human! They are literally sentient computer programs so you would think as part of their programming they would have perfect aim with a firearm. The machines would never have to worry about red pills because Smith could just cap fuckers from 200 yards out.

So I've been watching Arrow and also Spartacus and there is something in both of these shows that is probably done a lot in other shows/movies. The situation is a character is severely wounded and on the brink of death, and there is usually one of two things preventing them from going to a real hospital. Its either A. the story is set far in the past where there were no hospitals(Spartacus) or B. they are in a super remote location and have no feasible way of getting to a city(Arrow). So the character is taken care of by the makeshift doctor, character is on a bed or table clearly struggling to live. The makeshift doctor will usually try to dress the wound, apply some ointment or herbs or some poo poo, and press a damp cloth on their forehead. My question is: How do these characters survive these situations without food or water? They are usually unconscious for days, and there are no IVs or feeding tubes or poo poo like that. How are they able to recover without food/water. Also relatedly, the makeshift doctor will usually grind up some herbs and poo poo into a super-healing-drink and pour it into the unconscious character's mouth. Why don't these characters choke/drown when they are being force-fed liquid? Is there a scientific explanation that I'm missing? pls help

Lagomorphic posted:The velociraptors in the book are described as being pretty small. It was the movie that upscaled in size them because it made them work better as a movie monster and so they could fit a dude into the raptor costume. My dad is friends with someone at Stan Winston studios(Now Legacy Effects) and I got to go through their shop in Burbank and it was loving awesome.

BiggerBoat posted:To contribute: I'm irrationally irritated by the way that boxing movies actually handle boxing by and large. Aside from Raging Bull they almost always get it wrong and it almost always looks entirely fake. Plus, guys take super human levels of punishment, are bleeding to death in their corner and it always comes down to "heart" long after a ref would've stopped those fights. Rocky IV is the best boxing movie ever made sorry.

I was watching Daredevil on Netflix and I noticed they do something that A LOT of other TV shows and movies do: Why are churches always empty?? Its always one priest working there, with nobody else around, and the protagonist comes and sits in a pew all alone and talks to the priest. I just can't believe that churches are empty like that all the time.

Blast Fantasto posted:A lot of churches are totally empty during off hours / non-holy days. I take a music class at a local Methodist place that's at 6:30 pm on a Monday. The basement has some homeless shelter stuff going on but the actual chapel is usually dead empty. muscles like this? posted:Yeah, growing up Catholic unless it was mass there wasn't anyone in the main church area. Anything that was going on would be in attached buildings that were more general purpose rooms. MindlessHavok posted:To pile on to this, I would also think a guy like Daredevil would want to go when no one else was around. Showing him going to the church, finding out there's a ton of people there and going "welp I'll come back later" is boring so they don't show it.

Lottery of Babylon posted:There was a scene, I think when he's in the warehouse with the dying russian boss, where he's able to quickly give a summary of all the objects available in the room. They were all small, inanimate objects, in containers in corners of the room. No matter how good your senses are, how could you tell they were there? They didn't have heartbeats to hear, or cologne to smell, or even any way of affecting air currents. It wasn't as glaring as the cologne bullshit, but to me that was the point where the show stopped even pretending he was blind at all. You don't think that he could possibly smell the phosphorus in a road flare? The rust on old metal? I can't remember what the rest of the objects were specifically but I think there were definitely plausible explanations for him knowing they were there.

Pook Good Mook posted:The solution is to have sex with a prostitute near a major airport. Even if the creature catches up to a John the prostitute will sleep with someone else before the thing comes back. Your Gay Uncle posted:Just go t a gang bang or an orgy. The thing is though, if you gently caress a stranger you will never know when/if they get killed by it. You will still have to live looking over your shoulder always because it will eventually lead back to you.

Nobody gives a gently caress about you kid or your stupid parents, we came for the dinosaurs. I don't even know why the kids were IN the movie tbh. Why wasn't it just Burt Macklin vs Dinosaurs for 2 hours? I'm being fairly serious too.

Ryoshi posted:Jurassic World has a bunch of inexplicable stuff, like pods to shove raptor faces through a wall like some kind of macabre living hunting trophy. That in and of itself could be cool as poo poo if they gave any good reason for it and the CG didn't look so bad - at times it really was reminiscent of the scene where King Koopa gets de-evolved to a pile of green slime in underrated cinematic tour de force Super Mario Brothers. I thought it was pretty clear what they were used for?? They aren't exactly animals you can walk up to and put a leash around. The CGI was kinda weak though, especially since they actually used practical effects for the Raptor heads in the cages but ended up putting a thick layer of CGI over it anyway so it looks like poo

I just remembered in ESB and maybe in RotJ R2 totally talks with Luke while they are on their way to Dagobah. He outputs his speech to the display in the X-Wing and him and Luke have like a full on conversation. Droid-language must be a thing.

The original was okay because at that point everyone was sick of Scream 7/I Know What You Did 10 Summers Ago/other slasher flims im forgetting. Also a hot girl getting stabbed in the boob and her implant falling out was peak comedy in middle school.

This is apparently such an outrageous claim that she arrested and held at the police station. Her parents don't care at all that a stalker has been terrorizing their daughter. They're only mad the fine will make it harder to buy Ferris a car. Her lesson in the end is basically: some people are just luckier.

Gitro posted:So if all it took to find Bucky was the news running a 'dangerous ex-nazi assassin pls report' story, is there some reason the CIA or whatever the leading intelligence service is in marvel didn't do that already? He was involved in a pretty high profile assassination attempt and presumably his name and description would be on some of the Hydra files. If they wanted to find him that badly maybe they could have worked with other people or something? I think him supposedly blowing up the UN is kind of a tipping point. Like, yeah sure he was connected to hydra and involved in the DC helicarrier fiasco, but he has been in hiding since then so maybe they assumed he died?

It was the dumbest possible thing. WIlly Wonka has daddy issues? And a dad? And they resolve it as the movie's climax? Who gives a poo poo. His dad let him go trick or treating when he was a kid and then when he got home he took all his candy and threw it in the fire in front of him. Pretty hosed up if you ask me.

Iron Man, I could see being a little more popular, as he actually says his name on a news broadcast, but for the most part the Avengers are a group that most people have only ever seen once, in blurry handheld recordings of this 'Incident'.

The brothers were the only ones that didn't go in because they don't have the holes/plugs.
