That whole goddamn sequence is irritating. Take those stupid rear end goggles off. Hostages, if you can't drop the weapons then throw yourselves on the floor. Swat just use flashbangs, and Gordon get a goddamn grip. I might poison the well with this, but barring some scenes, I really like Rises.

Kruller posted:If it is incredibly important for someone to answer the call you are about to make, without fail the person you are calling will have their phone in another room and on vibrate. At no point will the person ever have a ringer turned on on their phone, or have their phone on them. Also, the vibrate function on their phone is the weakest, quietest vibrate in existence. This is so incredibly loving annoying, especially when that person is desperately waiting to hear back from someone who they love and is potentially in danger.

That awful WB series about witches Charmed actually did something entertaining with that. One of the main characters had telekinesis ,but unlike her ancestor who had the same power, she was able to move things without having to wave her hands around like an idiot. Instead she rolleded her eyes around like an idiot.

The monster didn't know it would explode it merely wanted the radiation from the fissile material. The army was using airplanes in places the didn't know the monsters were at yet. And Godzilla killed them simply because he didnt want them around as competition, they was steppin on his turf!

This always bothered me as well, so many hotdogs and coffees wasted.  What really annoys me are those same cops complaining about their lovely pay. Of course your broke you literally throw money away! That brings me to another annoyance when some character bemoans that he has a crap 40k a year salary. Where I'm from 40k a year is a shitload. Way more than an average Joe around here is ever going to make.

The time travel was a last resort, their ideal prize was 24th century Earth with all its infrastructure and what not. Which makes the scene where they scan alt-Earth and realize its full of borg really stupid considering that prior to that the borg just showed assimilated or killed everyone took their poo poo and hosed off. They never just hung around planets lounging about.

The initial purpose of the serum wasn't to suppress his powers. Beast made it so he could walk again, the unintended consequence was that it ended suppressing his powers. In short Dr. McCoy can only make useful things by accident.

As long as we're talking about Nolan... I can't stand the way his films are edited, scenes change at breakneck speeds but the story progresses so slowly as to make all that urgency unnecessary. I mean watch the first ten minutes of TDR after the joker's debut, it's just a barrage of 5 second scenes that cut out while characters are mid sentence. Memento and Insomnia don't have that problem, but every thing post Batman Begins has the same annoying habit. Also Guy Pearce as batman would have been sooooo awkward.

I really think Peter not tapping into his full potential is partly due to a lot of writers insisting on keeping him a perpetual teenager who can't prioritize or keep his personal life in check You see he's too busy fighting supercrime to get his life in order, even though there are people out there who work at jobs with incredible amount of pressure and responsibility yet manage to keep their poo poo together. Personally I really liked it when he was a teacher, I could relate to him better as a young adult, rather than some kid who takes blurry photographs for poo poo money to buys his aunt arthritis meds and web fluid ingredients.

In some other thread, now lost to sands of time, someone posted a video about the huge gently caress off machine developed for the animators at Disney, it allowed them to change background and foreground cels more easily ( to avoid the type of static backgrounds you'd see in an old Scooby doo cartoon)and I think illuminate each one independently. It was interesting because in the video Walt Disney seems hugely proud of that thing and now its probably sitting in a warehouse somewhere collecting dust.

Doesnt the t-800 specifically mention that the t-1000 is composed of a polymimetic alloy that can simulate organic material thus allowing it to travel back in time. Or maybe Skynet just made it turn into a small ball and stuck it inside a bag'o flesh and sent it through.

I was re watching Layer Cake, and it never made since to me why XXXX just straight up disses Dragan (the Serbian assassin who is going around cutting peoples heads off) over the phone like if he was some chump. Especially since Dragan was being so cordial and politely asking questions rather than just catching XXXX and torturing the poo poo out of him. Also while i'm on Daniel Craig films, is it me or does M just make terrible decisions throughout the entire film. First she orders Naomie Harris to take a risky shot for no real reason. I mean Bond is still fighting the guy, they are on a train , trains only move on rails! Just get someone to meet it on the other side or the next station. They later mention that the CIA was already monitoring the guys movements so why all the mystery? Later on she sends Bond and Harris to Macau in order to rectify the earlier bungled mission, M sends the same exact agents who allegedly hosed it up in the first place, hell one of them isn't even fully trained and the other isn't fit for duty. Their seem to be only three agents in the whole of MI6 , including one who died in the first 5 minutes.

Crumps Brother posted:What you stated never once happens in the movie. The problem is that you're inserting "facts" about time travel that the movie never states or uses. The movie is completely consistent with itself in that each time a past person is hosed with the future person receives the physical changes immediately *and nothing else happens*. This poo poo is fiction and time travel can happen however the movie wants it to happen. Sorry it doesn't work like you want it to work, but the movie never fudges its own logic. Don't they show that same character in a later scene being kept alive but maimed and captive until they could send back in time?

I was responding to the poster who said that everytime he lost a piece of himself then that should have shifted his circumstances, since that tends to happen to people who get maimed. The film makes it clear that his circumstances wont change, no matter what pieces he loses, since his past self is always going to be captive. As to why he sees the changes occuring bit by bit, well its because it makes for a cool and creepy as hell scene.

Memento posted:I know what's wrong with them. They're non-existent. Back when I was in high school there was group of students who would gather in their free period for a "film club". They must of watched FMJ like 4 times in one semester, all the while hooting and hollering about how awesome being in the marines is. Best part is they werent even really americans. To contribute, I caught part of an episode of Law and Order, and it reminded me of this tired exchange: ADA: I need to see a list of ________or the name of ________. Accountant: That information is confidential. ADA: What if I get a subpoena? Accountant: Oh no! Here take it! Substitute accountant with whatever profession involves being discrete, but they always roll right over instead of just telling them to get the subpoena or telling them to contact their lawyers.

Danger Mahoney posted:The wife got me to binge watch Arrow with her. It's not bad for a show aimed at teenagers, but I got irrationally hung up on the name of that super soldier serum they're always going on about. If you haven't seen the show, there's this drug that makes people super strong and fast. Whatever. But in the story it was made by Japanese scientists who named it "mirakuru" which is a fake loan-word of "miracle". Thing is, the very white characters keep pronouncing it "mee-rah-koo-roo". Its name is literally an English word. Why keep saying it like you are trying to emulate a Japanese accent? It's like if they were on a mission to recover the world's best Japanese burger and kept referring to it as "the hahn-bah-goo". Never watched that far into Arrow, but it sounds like their trying to be clever and eventually segue into getting the characters to call it miraclo. I say trying, because like you said, they just sound silly.

dordreff posted:I hate the Netflix Daredevil series for not featuring him enough, actually. Like sure, he's there for the episodes, but in season 1 he had almost nothing to do with the actual downfall of Fisk - he just happened to be causing a little trouble at the same time as Fisk's own personal issues hosed him up. In the half of season 2 I watched before giving up on it, it was all about the Punisher and again Daredevil just kinda showed up and did incidental poo poo until the Irish mob hosed Punisher up enough for him to get all sad in a graveyard, at which point it suddenly changes from "oh no I inspired a bad man" to "this man is perfect and misunderstood and must be protected" for no reason. Motherfuckers I am here for magic ninja fights, not for some pointless libertarian wetdream piece of poo poo. Those ninjas were like the worst part of season 2. Which leads me to my irrationally irritating daredevil moment, you get a whole season of the hand preparing a magical resurrection vessel which takes them months and tons of resources to make. One would think this is something they save for special occasions, but then you get a whole scene dedicated to how some faceless ninja minion(whogets taken out like a punk) seems to have been resurrected several times. I guess resurrection is harder in hells kitchen.

Tiggum posted:Not really. I get that they're saying "it's bad", but how does that manifest? What do they mean? What are they talking about? What would have been different if they'd hired "someone who knows how to film great fight scenes"? And "the fight scenes would have been better" isn't a useful answer. What was wrong with the fight scenes? What should they have done differently? I watched the show. The fight scenes didn't strike me as better or worse than any other super hero show or movie I've seen. Like, you mention Daredevil, but I didn't notice a difference between the two. The fights are just fights. That corridor fight that everyone goes on about in Daredevil - I don't know what's supposed to be so great about it, it was just another fight scene. They mostly just kill time between the talky bits. That's the issue right there, you are not supposed to gloss over the fight scenes and they aren't supposed to just kill time, in action,and especially martial arts, films and shows they are the main event, the meat of the whole thing. So they better be up to snuff and entertaining otherwise why even watch them? It seems you just want a drama with the trappings of action but without any real physical conflict.
