800peepee51doodoo posted:Yeah, not getting the star wars connection honestly. A lady has some glowing swords and that's about it. Its seven samurai in space, but lovely. There's something about the styling in its promotion. I haven't seen it and the only reason I know it exists (outside this thread) is that I saw a mass of posters in a major train station in Melbourne while there on a day trip. I looked at them in passing, went "ugh, more Star Wars poo poo" in my head and walked on. I was very surprised to learn that it's not Star Wars.

yeah I eat rear end posted:Evil Dead Rise: this could apply to all of the evil dead movies, but after just looking at the book, can you just...not? Don't read from it, don't play records from it, just put it back. If it was any good they'd be printing it on something other than human skin. I wouldn't but only because I'm trying to solve this weird Rubik's cube...

Cowslips Warren posted:That would be hilarious. The closest I can think would be if there was ever a TV or movie adaptation of Terry Pratchett's discworld novel, reaper man, where it introduced the vampire couple who tried to look like the traditional gothic super pale vampires you always read about, but instead they were both middle-aged and somewhat pudgy and definitely looked more like normal people I think? Either way, they definitely did not fit into the whole opera style dress but gosh darn it! They certainly tried. The Southern Vampire Mysteries books that True Blood were based on are like this. You look like you did when you're turned, so there's fat, middle aged vampires. Also, there's very few well off fancy vampires in the books - most are pretty schlubby blue collar, working poo poo jobs and driving crap cars. They're a fun read.

Cowslips Warren posted:this was legit what made me love The Mummy as a kid, that very scene. I remember Salem's Lot where the head vampire admits holy symbols only work if you have faith in them. Which makes me want some modern vampire story where some gun-loving idiot has faith his gun will protect him, and the bullets actually kill the shocked vampire. I feel there is potential here for an over the top action horror with a Sikh protagonist and his use of the five Ks to fight vampires.

Was it Joe Pesci in Casino who said you dig the hole first before you drag someone to the desert to kill them, otherwise you're hanging around for hours and more likely to get busted? I feel like it was Casino. E:

Tunicate posted:scrawled messages in blood have to be overly long and cryptic, I remember a crappy science fiction short story where people are disappearing and having their corpses show up in the ocean months later. The protagonist gets abducted, turns out it's aliens, and he carefully cuts BEWARE: CREATION TOOK EIGHT DAYS into his body before starving to death, instead of something shorter and more to the point like ALIEN ABDUCTION Similarly, in Event Horizon, the whole mishearing the captain's Latin. It's an interesting idea, but having to shoehorn in the captain being such an insufferable nerd that he drags his Latin knowledge into everything, to the point that he forgoes a quick and helpful "Ah gently caress! The drive took us to Hell! Don't use it!"

Yngwie Mangosteen posted:The only cool Flash moment was the one where Superman was evil because he was sad or whatever and Flash is all Speedstering around while he's fighting someone else and you see Supes' eyes shift suddenly to focus on him. Real 'oh gently caress' moment. Never watched any of the DC movies but I've watched that scene on YouTube a million times. I like that Supes is fast but not quite as fast, but the Flash knows he's red mist if cops a punch.

Diet Poison posted:I dunno about Seinfeld but I did see a thing about Friends where they said the point of that was so the writers wouldn't gently caress around and waste a ton of time coming up with funny episode titles. I like it, personally. Whenever people get talking about like The Simpsons or Star Trek, if they reference an episode title then don't give any context I never know what the gently caress they're talking about. Just say "The Tomacco One" or "The one with the self sealing stem bolts". From memory, the first series of Family Guy episodes had titles completely unrelated to the episodes. The commentary on the DVD points out how annoying this was for all the behind the scenes admin stuff because noone had any idea of which episode was which.

the holy poopacy posted:I just got through Blue Eye Samurai and it owns, but one I did have one IIMM: in the very first scene Mizu identifies the bad guy's pistol as being European manufactured and says it's too sophisticated to be a Japanese pistol, so it's established right off the bat that Japanese guns exist and are just inferior to contemporary European guns. Which is historically accurate from my understanding--Japan had enthusiastically embraced early guns when they were introduced but they had fallen somewhat out of favor by this point and didn't really keep up with advances in firearms. But for the rest of the show there is never a whiff of any Japanese firearms and guns are treated as an entirely new and revolutionary invention. I can accept a certain amount of historical liberty for dramatic purposes (or else I'd have a lot more to bitch about) but this one isn't even consistent with itself. Yeah, the whole plan about surprising the Shogun's forces with guns was irritating. Like everyone would just have forgotten about everything war-related that happened between the rise of Oda Nobunaga and the battle of Sekigahara. I was also irritated with the number of times Mizu was gut-stabbed.

the holy poopacy posted:If anything it would have suited the show's themes even better to have some of Shogun's forces confidently march out with older generation matchlocks and get blown away by the coup forces having more and better guns. As it is the coup mostly just makes the Japanese look like idiots. I haven't seen the coup yet, but that sounds irritating. I think the gut wound bugged me because they treated it seriously. Shrugging off one pre-antibiotics would be impressive. Two or more and it becomes "really?".

Cowslips Warren posted:it makes me wonder about casting for the "disposable fiancé/spouse" in all the romcoms. like, do you cast your main person first, and then have all those people act out scenes with them, and the one who has the worst chemistry gets the role? Furthermore, is there some b- or c-list actor who has ended up typecast as "dickish partner", with the occasional "dickish middle manager" role?
