For someone who doesn't know anything about film theory or the conventions of filming a movie, the Whole Plate is very interesting because Lindsay explains why. When she explained continuity of action it was a real "ohhhhhh" moment.

Thompsons posted:It's funny to me because it felt like when Elementary came out there were people being all "ugh a lame AMERICAN version of an English work Elementary turned out to be a really good procedural crime drama  Among its positive points: It has a male and female lead who never have a will-they-won't-they which is ridiculously rare for TV. It also takes the source material to heart and has a lot of really odd mysteries.

I'm like a goddamn seashell except instead of hearing the sea, if you put your ear to my head you hear "Sherlock Holmes in the 22nd Centuraaaaaaay..."

MiddleOne posted:Isn't that the movie that had that trailer that completely bizarrely switches its tone half-way in? Holy poo poo that twist. It starts off as a sickening "look at this precious, precocious, perfect boy who helps his weary mother" movie. I thought the twist was going to be he loving bites it. Honestly, I'm almost tempted to see it, though Henry seems insufferable. The twist does put his insufferability and his mother's reliance on him in a totally different, sinister light.

SatansBestBuddy posted:Bioshock Infinite looked a hellva lot more interesting when it was first shown off, and every demo they showed for a couple of years had all these big, cool ideas that ultimately didn't materialize in the final game, like Elizabeth helping in combat or interacting with the environment in interesting ways. I remember keeping up with the details as they were released, then playing the game and noticing that basically none of them were really there outside of a few scripted scenes and half baked ideas. Oh, and the writing sucked, too, but considering how much of the game that had been showed off in trailers and demos that ended up being scrapped from the main game, I'm not surprised that's the case. It seemed liked they must have scrapped two whole games by the time they launched Infinite, with how different the final product was from the gameplay videos.

Absurd Alhazred posted:Oh boy, another piece of the Plate! An odd point to focus on, I know--but I didn't realize people thought the ending of AI was saccharine. I always thought it was crushingly sad. I was also quite young so I barely knew who Spielberg was and I definitely didn't know who Kubrick was.

cat doter posted:considering what a total wet fart the force awakens review was, I'm not really hopeful this one will be any good Given how they wouldn't stop talking about this movie before and after it came out--I'm definitely skipping this too unless I hear that it's really good and somehow they managed to not refight the poo poo from last year.

IronicDongz posted:his time in war has made him disillusioned with humanity(and himself due to watching the deaths of his friends), to the point where he would rather see himself as a pig than a human. I feel like if you explained this to him, he'd complain that it should have been clear, like he got cursed by a witch or something--or still not get it and again, remark about how they could have shown the real source of the curse.

END ME SCOOB posted:The animated series wasn't particularly bad, but was incredibly hobbled by standards and practices. We're talking about a series where the inciting incident for all the superpowers is a full on gang warfare event going even worse than that already implies when the cops decide "this is a good time to test that experimental tear gas on people without any prep whatsoever". Something like 80% of everyone there, cops, bangers, any living being whatsoever, all die on the spot, and the others are mutants of various stripes after. In the comics, Virgil is there because he's sick of being picked on by a dude in school and gets a gun, thinking he'll just take out the dude in the crossfire (before he can't do it when he shows). In the series, he gets pressured into it, someone hands him a gun (he has a hangup about them, because his family lost someone to gun violence! Can't let kids think guns are cool), and the death tolls aren't mentioned, it's just "well everyone mutated". And then there's the episode in which Lil Romeo guest stars and at the end he inexplicably has superpowers that they never mentioned before nor comment on after. It confused the gently caress outta me when I was watching the show.

I'll have to say--when I read "Gummy Bear Movie", this was neither the first nor the second thing that came to mind. I never liked these videos. They always either irritated or unsettled me, even when I was in what amounted to the target age group for them.

Honestly, the trivia is generally my favorite part of each episode, since everything surrounding Baywatch seems more interesting than the show itself. achillesforever6 posted:Dying malls videos/images are so depressing I'm reminded immediately of Dashcon.
