Your Gay Uncle posted:The blue memory eraser in the Statue Of Liberty in the secon MiB was also incredibly stupid. It would only work if every single New Yorker was looking at the Statue when it went off. What about the people facing away from it? Or the people in subways, inside their houses, sleeping, etc. So you're saying it wouldn't affect the people that didn't see anything?

Lotish posted:Presumably it battered the door down/busted the lock? It's been a long time since I saw that movie. In the last shot of that room, it shows the phone laying on the table. You can clearly see individual bullet holes in the windowed wall, made by that shotgun. Must have been using slugs, tiny little slugs.

Oh I have fired slugs. Even at a shooting range, I could only assume from the punch they pack that three should completely shatter that window. Even if it was safety glass, the holes should be much bigger and the spidering would instead be that million little pieces look.

EmmyOk posted:The old bonds are very much a product of their time wrt to racism, sexism, and a variety of unpleasantness. The books just plain hated women though, Ian Fleming was a weird dude. I like the old films a lot though despite their problems. The Brosnan ones were a bad attempt at what the Craig era nailed even though Pearse owned. The Matador made up for Bronson's last couple Bonds.

Danger Mahoney posted:Just got nostalgic and watched Ernest Goes to Jail and I am very surprised at the surreal sets and very dark tone of this movie. Like there are a total of four sets in the movie and every one is a dadaist fever dream. The bank where Earnest works is a high-ceiling doctor's office, the jail is a neon-lit dungeon full of guards wearing hot pink nazi uniforms, and every scene is shot at a crazy dutch angle. The whole thing seems like it is meant to convey a sense of disorientation and dread. Then I guess it's time to revisit my childhood. How would you bookend Xmas Ernest with this movie? Before? After?

Phanatic posted:In Aliens, they're not on a ship, they're on an installation on a planet with a human-breathable atmosphere. So you shoot something and its blood eats through the floor and down into the dirt, nobody cares. What if the acid hit the dirt and then dissolves the ground all the way to the other side of the planet, creating a giant crater hole? Then the planet would fall out of orbit because there might be a crazy wind tunnel that is created from it and starts ricocheting around that planetary system. And then at the end of the movie it pulls back to a wider shot and ends in the same way that the first MIB movie did?

Grendels Dad posted:I'm rewatching LOST and without a doubt and by a wide margin the most irritating thing about it is Sawyer's indestructible letter. He keeps that letter crammed in his rear end pocket, sits on it, pulls it out and reads it every day for the last 30 years, crumples up the paper in anger or he thrusts it at someone to read it; it's been rained on and soaked in sea water or tears when he has a good cry over it. I don't know what kind of NASA tech paper people have in Tennessee, but that letter should have been ground up into atoms before Sawyer even reached puberty. Well they were in purgatory, so...

They should team up with GRRM for the ultimate fan blueball. They took six years to make the last 16 episodes. That's 4.5 months per episode. I'm sure CN probably has something to do with the slow turnaround.

sassassin posted:What, are we supposed to believe it's some sort of special, sci-fi scorpion? No, it is a native Earth scorpion on Earth. This actually made me think of a legit gripe, when they use live animals to decorate alien planet sets. I know I have seen examples many times over the years, even in Empire Strikes Back they have that snake on Dagobah.

Slime posted:If the Star Wars galaxy has humans everywhere, why are earthlike snakes so unbelievable? Sure, on the human planets. Just glue some antennae on it and sell it a little for a Dagobah snake. Unless Dagobah is the Australia of the galaxy and has all the invasive species. Edit: What if a hound dog just came out of the swamp and starts shaking to dry off? You'd laugh your rear end off. The only thing in Star Wars movies that is like our world are the humans and the concept of Hell. They took the time to make everything else distinctly alien.

sinburger posted:I think that's going to be the end of the first or second act honestly. Early in the movie, it is established that the symbiote is affected by electricity and we will see it partially separate from Brock. Then half way through the third act, Doc Ock shows up with upgrades to his tentacles that now sport taser-like tips. He rips the symbiote off Brock like that scene in Hellraiser 3, secures the symbiote and disappears. Ock will be established earlier in the movie as well with having some connection to the Life Foundation.

yeah I eat rear end posted:I thought movies had learned their lesson and we were past the cringe-inducing overly-saccharine "it's cool to be weird" movies like Garden State etc. But then I watched (well, the first 20 minutes anyway) of "The Clapper" and it's as bad as ever. It's presented as a romantic comedy but seeing amanda seyfried ramble about "i'm so quirky lol" while cheesy music plays in the background neither makes me think of romance or makes me laugh. It's just awful. There’s that other movie with Amanda Seyfried and also Ben Solo that I think is a good pivot on that genre. The one with the beastie boy and also Ben Stiller.

I never liked him in general. Growing up as an 80s kid, all of his early movies looked dumb to me, save for Legend. I have avoided most of his movies before knowing about Scientology. He is fine in the movies I have seen. But he has a two-dimensional face. It just doesn’t have the full range of emotions. That’s probably why everyone else in his movies win Oscars, or have more memorable lines. I definitely could never buy him crying on-camera.

Based on the billboards for each movie, at least you see a spider-man on the billboard. When I saw the trailer last weekend after only seeing the Mortal Engines billboard, I was like where are the vampires or the Jack the Ripper back drop? Not knowing the book, the billboard just has a tacky, derivative font and the eyes of a female protagonist and to me screams YA shifter stuff.
