Last of 2016 : Eyes Of My Mother. Pretty good. Lead actress is fantastic.

First of 2017 : Rogue One. Pretty good. I honestly don't get the characterization criticisms any more than like, any comparable action movie. And it was a pretty movie on top of everything. CGI Tarkin is the most incredible feat of CGI ever while also being incredibly jarring and ill-conceived. Like, can't give enough credit to the artists behind it and enough criticism to the folks who told them to do it.

Here is the scene in question, starting at 3:00. Yellow robot zooming across the screen obstructing the view happens at 3:14, and I forgot that it makes it look like the robot is as tall as the stormtroopers. Admittedly it's not taking up the entire frame at once, but it's still puzzling how much poo poo happens in front of the people this scene should focus on. maybe it's one of these experiments where five people throw a ball around and you don't even notice there is a gorilla there.
I'm certainly not of the opinion that the change needed to happen, but the entire frame being taken up by a passing object is a pretty common short hand for 'it's crazy and busy here'. The viewer pov being obstructed suggests hustle and bustle. I'm struggling to think of a concrete example, but it's done frequently with cars and busses. I think maybe Fifth Element does it at one point?

Has anyone here actually confronted somebody in a movie theatre before? Or is it more of a "that happened" scenario.
There was an old man at my showing of Hellboy who loudly talked at the screen the entire movie. Well, for part of the movie he just loudly snored. People kept kind of politely asking him to stop, but it kept going. Finally, 3/4ths of the way in, someone just screamed 'SHUT THE gently caress UP'. Guy was silent for like 30 seconds, then replied 'You shut up, buddy!' and the whole theater laughed. He did stop though.

Chicago's western and northwest suburbs are basically WhiteFlightInAmerica.txt. Black populations in those areas are generally around 3 - 4 percent at the absolute most, and in some places that's being generous -- in college I very briefly dated a girl from Barrington, which is this ridiculously wealthy northwest suburb, and while we were driving around town one day she said to me, "Hm, that's odd."

"What?"

*points at a car being driven by a black man* "We don't usually see those people around here."

That night when I went home I found out that Barrington's black population was like 0.4 percent. I think I broke up with her the next day when I realized that I was dating an awful human being.

Shoulda dated one of them Oak Park girls, my man.

So, aside from the insane pettiness of Spicer's first press conference being him arguing about crowd size at the inauguration, it's also genuinely really creepy to watch. Like, the only comparison I can think of to him boldly declaring something that's wildly, easily disprovable is Baghdad Bob declaring the defeat of the US military as tanks roll into view.
