Hotel Artemis is actually the first film so far I've movie passed that I legitimately wanted to get the gently caress out of so I could spend my time on anything else But it is a sci fi movie which may be enough for some of y'all so my apologies for spoiler mishaps

Like you can hear him groaning for a little while and it's clear it's a slow agonizing death, like icepicks just jabbing and stirring up his brain. hosed up and out of nowhere imo

Yeah uh  that's insanely hosed up for the kind of movie I thought Hotel Artemis was.I wonder if they figured Charlie Day was kind of an Andy Dick-esque "unlikable rear end in a top hat" actor who people would want to see that happen to; it doesn't really make a ton of sense from any other perspective.

Honestly I think Punkin Spunkin is overselling it. I didn't think it was anything of note, but his character totally deserved it. Like, all the violence in Hotel Artemis is brutal, but pretty fast and not really lingered upon. Jeff Goldblum's death was far more brutal imo.

In Book of Henry when Sheila visits Henry in the hospital. Sheila and Henry are bratty to each other and that scene implies it was some Moonlighting relationship all along. Then Sheila kisses Henry on the lips. Henry is 11 years-old. In The Fast and the Furious I always found the Jesse arc to be pretty weird. His final fate in the film is a WTF moment but even the race in the middle, which he loses, comes out of nowhere. It's like it was jammed in the script.

exquisite tea posted:I thought the twist was totally unnecessary and seemed like the script was rewritten around it for third act shock value. I'm trying to think of what would change if we knew from the beginning that Tully was some imagined manifestation of Charlize Theron's younger self and I can't think of anything that would have been less impactful. When a plot twist doesn't alter your understanding of the story or characters in any meaningful way you kind of have to wonder why it's even there. They could have played it 100% straight and it would have been the same drat story minus another overwrought accident scene. Diablo Cody sucks rear end news at eleven

One thing that's always seemed weird to me about the first Ant-Man is the use of Baskin Robbins in the beginning. Product placement is one thing, but I can't imagine why the company signed off on it considering it does not do them any favors. Scott's treatment makes the company seem like a bunch of assholes with zero compassion. It's an interesting contrast to the first Iron Man movie, where the US Air Force had them rewrite and refilm a big chunk of the second act because they didn't want to be known as the guys responsible for shooting Iron Man out of the sky and giving him physical and emotional damage. But Baskin Robbins is all, "A zero-tolerance policy against ex-cons, even if we agree with their actions? AND we get to drive them back into a life of crime despite their reluctance? Score!"

If we're going to talk about whole movies that are WTF moments, look no further than Surfer© Teen Confronts Fear. I did not mistype by the way: the movie title includes a copyright notice for Surfer. Like a most/all christian vanity projects, this movie came out very very WTF: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r03nDeTc1iM Friendship stroung enough?

The Limehouse Golem is kind of a weirdly shot Victorian murder thriller, that takes an incredibly bizarre detour in the middle. Bill Nighy is a Victorian detective trying to track down a serial killer, and the only clue he has is what appears to be the Golem's diary, scrawled in the margins of a library book. He tracks down everybody who was in the library on a certain day, and gets them to write down sections of the diary as he dictates them, to compare their handwriting. This is mostly an excuse for some very stylised flashbacks, where we see the suspect, as the Golem, enacting grisly murders, with all sorts of dramatic lighting and distortion effects, and the narration shifts to the suspect dubbed over with a strange demonic voice. It's obnoxiously modern and flashy for what's supposed to be a period piece, but it's creepy enough. It's all fairly normal, until Billy Nighy goes to interrogate Karl Marx, and we're treated to an extended sequence of Karl Marx decapitating a prostitute before Bill Nighy snaps "well this is absurd" and Karl Marx is never seen or mentioned again. It's a very odd film.

In the 1989 movie The Wizard, a trio of runaway kids is about to get caught by a guy trying to return them to their parents, the girl in the group prevents this by screaming in a public place and hollering "he touched my breast!" The innocent man is kicked off the property by security. Later, this same man is stopped in traffic by a group of truckers, friends of the young female character. The truckers approach him menacingly, one of them says, "So, you touched her breast, eh?" And punches the innocent man in the face. This is all supposed to be hilarious and fun!

The innocent man is kicked off the property by security. Even though he was innocent of her claims, at least the movie went out of its way to show him as a dirtbag who deserved to be messed with. He greedily slashed the tires of the boys' father just so he could get the credit for bringing the kids in. The most WTF part in that movie was a pool scene that had an old man in a powder blue speedo just standing prominently in the background for an extended amount of time. It was weird. The existence of tween cigarette girls in that movie's universe was also pretty out there.

Yeah I'll be honest, the last time I saw The Wizard was probably more than 15 years ago. Basically the entire plot of the movie feels like it was written by kids doing their damndest to make a serious movie about themselves and their wish fulfillment.

The lesson to be learned from The Wizard is the same to be learned from any live action children's movie from the eighties: we were all lucky to make it out of the decade alive.

Really, the lesson seems to be, "FedEx: our employees care so much about your package that they'll protect it unscathed on a desert island for 5 years, as a symbolic tether to hope, that they personally hand-deliver once rescued."
