I still have no idea how that dilophosaur got into the car in Jurassic Park. The only opportunity it had was when Nedry got blinded and fell down, and that would require walking right past him (at which point it could just have attacked him, which is more or less what happened in the book). Even if there was a second one involved (which there's no other sign of) that snuck in when Nedry fell down that slope, he would have had his back to it for most of the sequence, giving it plenty of opportunities to attack.

muscles like this? posted:It was kind of weird how the cube just seemed to make evil Transformers. Someone on /co/ wrote a little paragraph around the time the movie came out where a modern train turns into a Decepticon, only to see an old steam engine charging up the tracks to meet it, turning into an Autobot, and fighting with it. It was pretty badass. U.T. Raptor has a new favorite as of 23:47 on Oct 15, 2011 |

Tin Miss posted:In Jurassic Park 3 how exactly did the stepfather die? I'm more wondering what happened to those guys on the boat. One minute they're there, the next minute they're gone. Obviously the implication is supposed to be that the Spinosaurus got them (since it's established as perfectly capable of swimming later), but it would have had to snatch them off a fast-moving boat in the space of like 30 seconds...

It's a TV show, but pretty much the entire fight with Shishio in Rurouni Kenshin. It's just so... stupid. First off, you have someone lethally susceptible to overheating surrounding himself with fire. His special moves use it, he's got inexplicably flame-spewing smokestacks, the arena for the fight is surrounded by them, etc. And then there's the part where he's basically made of loving iron or something because he takes almost no damage from anything anyone does to him, and how apparently he can counter any move he's ever seen being used, no matter what it is. And then there's the part where he just bites Kenshin for no real reason, I'm not even sure what the author was even going for but it's just kind of hilarious. And when pretty much every other character jumps in to try and fight him and gets their poo poo wrecked (extra points for Sanosuke hitting him square in the face with a punch that shatters rocks and doing all of jack poo poo). The worst was probably Saito, who despite starting out in a really cool way somehow ended up hitting probably the only piece of armor on Shishio's entire body. Also, the utterly pointless bit where his girlfriend tries to protect him and he stabs Kenshin through her, since it accomplishes absolutely nothing (it would have been fine if it occurred earlier in the battle). He doesn't even get to capitalize on the injury he just inflicted, since he starts spontaneously combusting (see why I mentioned the fire earlier?) right afterwards and just sort of flips out for a while before dying.  I know, I know, but this one's bothered me since I first saw this battle years ago. The bit where he ends up in Hell and decides to take over the place still rules though.

quote:A Detective Story was very enjoyable even though I can't figure out where it's supposed to fit, simply because cyber noir seems to be relatively rare as a setting. I know Penny Arcade did that bit with the robot detective, but I can't think of any other examples off the top of my head.
