Why does it even matter how obtrusive they are if they just neuralise everyone? Motherfucker could wear a sandwich board all "YO I AM THE LIKEABLE FISH-OUT-OF-WATER EVERYMAN WHO WORKS FOR A SECRET GOVERNMENT ORGANISATION THAT MANAGES EXTRA TERRESTRIAL AFFAIRS ON EARTH" and it wouldn't matter.

You know the bit in Pirates of the Caribbean where that one pirate is going to cut Orlando Bloom into handsome kibble and he's all

"ARR I'M GOING TO TEACH YOU THE MEANIN' OF PAIN"

And then Keira Knightley is all

"YOU LIKE PAIN?" and hits him and then is all "TRY WEARING A CORSET" and the audience doesn't laugh because Keira Knightley is a terrible actress and has no comedic timing?

Well the dude doesn't even like pain. He just says he's going to teach Orlando Bloom the meaning of pain. Like, if someone asks me the meaning of "costermonger" it doesn't mean I'm all ker-razy for fruit barrows, it just means I know that word. If the pirate dude REALLY liked pain he'd be in some brothel someplace throwing dubloons to whichever wench was able to most ruthlessly stomp on his salty balls.

It's the Marvel Universe. Anything in space has a week, tops before it's blown up by the Kree, eaten by a giant planet or Galactus, pierced by an errant Mjolnir throw, used as a club by the Sentry, laser beamed by Captain Marvel, the site of an X-Men brawl or hijacked by Forge and rebuilt as a toaster oven. You won't bother making your fancy pants space prison nice, you want it cheap and easily cobbled together.

One of the major themes of Looper was how all the criminals actually sucked rear end at being criminals. They were all trained in a single role [Looper, Gat Man et cetera] and all of them loving sucked. The Looper couldn't do his job as soon as a dude was ready for him, the Gat Men couldn't actually shoot anyone who was trying to not be shot. Jeff Daniels is a loving dolt, and only has any kind of clout as a Crime Dude because OMG HE'S FROM THE FUTURE. They all suck balls at it. They have a time machine, and they use it for an incredibly convoluted corpse disposal system, and only one guy in the history of crime has the smarts to put some money aside and plan for his old age.

So, when they go to whack Bruce Willis, and the nice Asian Wife appears holding a thing that looks kind of like a gun, they panic and shoot her on instinct. Because they suck and are stupid. That's a recurring theme. Stupid dumb criminals.

Man they had no cameras back then and I doubt woodcut artists could go quick enough to chip out an accurate rendition of the action. We basically dunno how the gently caress any motherfucker fought For Real. Goddamned LARP nerds.

Anyway, fuckin' Home. He drops off Rihanna in the new human spiral town place, and she can't find her mother so she just...sits in a shed like a hobo for a while? It never occurs to her to ask around, leave notes, get up high and yell, any of that poo poo? Immersion ROONT.

There are these things called books where things are written down in. Things like medieval era martial arts and weapon training...

Often people write things down and this does not reflect reality. For example, the mermaids that supposedly lured sailors to their deaths. Or the heroic deeds of Heracles. Or Prester John's Nestorian empire. Or the various martial arts manuals through the years that say "Oh yeah in a fight just do x, then y and if he does z then just do..." and then expect dudes to pull that poo poo off in a crisis situation.

Clerks 2 was on, and I was too lazy to get up and get the remote.

Film bad.

But the irrationally irritating things- when they leave to go go karting and then they come back Rosario Dawson is all WAHHGHHGHGHGHG GUYS WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN WE'RE SO BUSY and there's 4 people at the counter. I used to work in a burger place, 4 people at the counter is absolutely nothing. Fuckin' Kevin Smith no idea lazy man.

Also when Dante goes to punch Randall and hits the drive-thru thing, he's all "YOU DUCKED?" and Randall's all "BECAUSE YOU SWUNG AT ME!" except Randall didn't actually duck.

Also she apparently got mayo on her cooch from having sex on a prep station after hours. Who the gently caress still has mayo on their prep station after closing time? Lazy rear end motherfuckers.

Speaking of head trauma, didn't they do a fire extinguisher on some mook's head last season?

Speaking of fire extinguishers, have they ever actually been used to extinguish fires in any movie or show ever? They seem to be the go-to for beating people unconscious, finding laser tripwires or occasionally providing pressure for an improvised bomb or jetpack. Not so much the fire thing.

It was an unintended side effect of cuttlefish DNA added to accelerate growth. Wong mentioned it.

End of the film should've been a swarm of parakeets sharpening their beaks on the MEGASAURUS WRECKS until there was nothing left, before making eye contact with Chris Pratt, giving him a respectful nod and then flying off into the sunset carrying the corpse of the assistant woman.

Also being a CRAZY VICIOUS SAVAGE REAVER makes you dangerous and terrifying even to trained military types and not, say, a dead person floating around in the husk of the spaceship you never bothered to maintain because you were too busy eating skin and cutting yourself and listening to Linkin Park.

I was too lazy to get up when Clerks 2 was on, and the bit where they come back from go-karting and Rosario Dawson is freaking out is some bullshit. The queue's only 4 people! When I worked as a burger monkey 4 people wouldn't even wake me from my coma.

Also when they're all "YOU SWUNG AT ME!" "YOU DUCKED?!" "BECAUSE YOU SWUNG AT ME!" he didn't actually duck, Dante just straight-up missed and hit the plaster cow. Fuckin' Kevin Smith yo.

I loved how the show addressed how insane Rebecca's spending habits were and then she's out of debit like an episode later. And then less than a season after that she pays a woman 10 Grand to switch the date of her wedding like nothing.

Crazy Ex-Girlfriend does another thing I like - the main character's actually competent at some things. There's too many comedy shows where the protagonists are useless schlubs who have no skills, aptitudes or abilities - yet they can still goof off at their job and have seemingly endless money. Rebecca Bunch might be a loon but she's also been established as an absolute monster of a lawyer, and the firm gives her a lot of license since she basically prints money. So it kinda makes sense that she'd be able to rebound from poverty pretty quick - smash a couple of lucrative cases, make mad bank, gently caress off out the office for another couple of days.
