I feel like that's largely dependent on effects budget, which makes sense, but yeah, I agree there should be more half-eaten zombies, and zombies just twitching and writhing on the ground as extra-chunky skeletons.

Inzombiac posted:It's goofy but yeah, he rewires the sentinels with the iron filaments. You see him earlier studying the sentinel schematics and it's understood that Magneto is a genius. Later in the movie, the sentinel HUD is different so... I guess he could change that as well? Whatever, I bought it. In x-men 2 he rewrites fake cerebro by moving around some metal panels which were somehow integral to its function. This is one of the only things i still really hate about X2.

Is there a rationally irritating movie moments thread? Because I just saw the maze runner, and while it's pretty intriguing for most of the movie, the plot dump at the end is a load of horse poo poo. So, in order to save humanity from a combination heat wave zombie apocalypse, you perform an unfathomably expensive experiment which will help you develop children that are immune to... mazes? There is no drat reason for there to be a maze. Furthermore, if the purpose of the test is indeed to determine which children are immune to the virus [and mazes?!?], why would you have the vector for the virus transmission be a horrendous cyborgspider?? The grievers are clearly more than happy to just rip the children apart and murder them outright than to jab them with their poison virus stinger. Has anyone here read the books? What is this bullshit? And how did that one kid even get there at the end? Ignite Memories has a new favorite as of 02:16 on Sep 28, 2014 |

Me and a friend both went into Mulholland Drive totally blind and never having seen a David Lynch movie before. This was back when netflix was just on DVD, and it suggested that he would really like this movie, so he rented it. It was an absolutely magical afternoon.

I figure it's probably pretty easy to get away from a zombie, because they're so slow. Zombie sneaks up on you how they do, bites you somewhere. You bash him off and escape, but then you're hosed. Only in large groups do zombies have the collective strength to stop you and feast on you wholesale, and by that point there's already a large group. Edit: alternately, he virus is airborne or whatever.

Counterpoint: the matrix reloaded I cannot believe you folks are defending the movie where lovely cgi playstation2 hugo weavings make a literal bowling pin noise when they hit each other. Seriously, go re watch the burly brawl and tell me the matrix reloaded is not the worst movie ever put to film. You guys clearly do not remember what bad cgi truly is.

But you can rip things off from a piece of poo poo if you want, it's merely inadvisable, not impossible. Or maybe a post apocalyptic class-struggle with fistfighting is not something that was invented by the wachowski brothers in 2003.

No, i read them, I just think it's a stretch. Hero has to decide between saving one significant person and saving a group of people? Big evil person is actually a calm guy in an office? These are common tropes. The fighting in snowpiercer isn't even kung fu. There's not that many hero's journeys, guys.

Malcolm in the middle was cartoony as hell, but they really nailed that small-time Americana vibe. The situations they dealt with weren't always realistic, but the tone was very real. They were struggling to make ends meet, and it showed. I also think Hal is one of the most identifiable characters in sitcom history. I was a huge Bryan Cranston fan throughout that show's whole run. It's good to see him finally attain the level of fame he deserves.

Midnight Raider posted:Also my irrational irritation is that I never read the comics, so I never got why everyone hated The League of Extraordinary Gentleman movie. LXG is a mediocre-to-decent movie, and that's a pretty generous review. The comic, on the other hand, is one of the more interesting and surprising comics I have ever read. Would you believe me if I told you that Mr. Hyde is one of the most complex characters in comic books? Because in my opinion, he is definitely up there.

Woah! Spoiler that, dude! It's a really awesome scene! Edit: thank you. Now if only this jerk under me would follow suit. Also, Mina is NOT a vampire. I'm not sure where you got that impression if you read the comics. That's a movie thing, and one of reasons the movie sucks. In the comics, it's never implied that she is any more than a badass woman who has lived through some traumatic poo poo. (LXG) Ignite Memories has a new favorite as of 03:11 on Feb 17, 2015 |

(LXG comics) Mr. Hyde is NOT a noble character, and it's not like, "wow, he's so cool for doing this". He IS a monster. But the way the scene is presented is surprising, in-character and incredibly dark. This is the scene where his nature is explored - Mr. Hyde is Dr Jeckyl's id, seperated from his ego and superego. Jeckyl was trying to get rid of the aspects of himself that he finds abhorrent, which ironically are really petty things. Stuff like occasionally shoplifting, and having homosexual thoughts. Only by this point Hyde has grown humongous, and Jeckyl is basically withering away, appearing less and less as the books go on. Without Hyde, Jeckyl has no drive, no passion. Without Jeckyl, Hyde has no limitations. Alan Moore is more than capable of presenting you with a monster in a way which is enthralling and thoughtful. My [ir]rationally irritating movie moment is that none of the characters' subtleties were explored in the mediocre popcorn flick we were presented with. Mina, who in the comics is a resourceful, capable and jaded human being, is written into the movie as some kind of magic flying kate beckinsale bullshit. It misses the point of the character completely.

Mousepractice posted:The Dark Knight is really badly edited for dialogue and contains a lot of uncomfortably cramped line readings. I feel like a crazy person whenever I watch the new batman movies with other people, because everyone else loves them so much. I feel like they're all just so bad. Christian bale especially is a horrendous batman. Heath ledger clearly got to have some fun with his performance but everything else really rubs me the wrong way. People talk about how cool the batman vs bane fight was, and i'm like, were we watching the same movie?

The first batman was kind of ruined for me by Jack Nicholson playing Jack Nicholson, so I never saw the second one until this year. It immediately struck me as a much stronger batman movie than anything we've been fed in the last twenty years. It had the melodrama and camp without going full clooney. The danny elfman score was extremely cohesive with the tone of the movie, and tim burton's eerie gotham felt just right. I think batman films should try to emulate the style of the animated series as closely as they can, because BTAS feels like the definitive batman to me. Sadly, that will probably never happen now that DC is trying to stuff its eggs into the avengers' basket. edit: I probably need a new avatar, huh
