Gaunab posted:Sears went belly up. mostly. My hometown's mall still has one but it's not doing great. I got my current pillow from them earlier this year and they aggressively tried to get me to buy a mattress from them even though I said I already ordered one. also my only irritation with Ragnarok was that song from shrek 3 (not smash mouth) they played in the intro battle. It felt out of place imho, like it was some fan-made video.

Krispy Wafer posted:I’m watching Chopping Mall on Amazon Prime and it’s got a similar theme to Dawn of the Dead in that the mall has a gun shop. Also a place to buy tanks of propane and gasoline. Both films used clever angles to make it appear as though the gun stores are actually in the malls, and then created fake storefronts for wide shots. And I believe the paint store was also completely fabricated. Chopping Mall was shot at Sherman Oaks Galleria in LA, same mall as Fast Times at Ridgemont High and Commando. Though it's since been turned into one of those "open-air centers".

Dear god it's Zeppelin, it's not just "that song from Shrek 3". And it's about Vikings, so it fits thematically. Best bit of the film, imo, when it comes back later.

Actually, it's that song from The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. The Dutch army also has a recruitment ad that blatantly imitates it.

in very bad film The Man With The Iron Heart, very bad Australian actor Jason Clarke plays Reinhard Heydrich and they have him put on a posh RP English accent. okay, fine, it's fairly common for Nazis to have RP English accents in things because it's an evil accent. BUT THEN they have Stephen Graham, an English actor (with a naturally Northern English accent), play Heinrich Himmler and he's putting on a German accent. could Clarke not do a German accent? could Graham not do an RP accent? i'd say they should have gone full Death of Stalin and just have everyone use their own voices at that point but it was ostensibly a serious film and i suppose people wouldn't find an Australian and a Liverpudlian pair of Nazis suitably menacing edit: now i really want a Himmler biopic where he talks like a scouser the whole time ulex minor has a new favorite as of 00:10 on Aug 25, 2019 |

Thor: Ragnarok was my favorite parts of Simonson and Aaron's runs on Thor on the big screen. They got that this dude is ridiculous and everything he fights is insane and the only way to really do it is to go full van art with it.

They got that this dude is ridiculous and everything he fights is insane and the only way to really do it is to go full van art with it. I don't remember if this is a circular recommendation coming from this thread, but there is a comedy talk podcast called Good One and they have an episode interviewing Taika Waititi on Thor: Ragnarok and it's quite good. You can feel it in the movie, but a ton of the best lines are improv or semi improv - they shot a ton of extra film with the actors riffing on what's around them in the set and on each other, then picked the best sequences. An IIMM regarding Hannibal: in season 1 Hannibal conspires with an ex colleague, who's a neurologist, to hide Will's cerebral condition to him. A few episodes later, after the neurologist has been killed, Will gets examined again for his very evident symptoms but these doctors somehow fail to notice the super evident inflammation in his brain for what can I only assume are plot reasons.

I liked that in Infinity War (havent seen Endgame or Far From Home, those are the only two I've not seen now) when Thor returns to earth to join the fight at Wakanda, he's still using all the lightning powers he learned in Ragnarok. Everyone else fights one on one with an army of peeps, he shows up and is like "Nah, this is Hyrule Warriors mate, where's your area of effect attacks?" and starts making GBS threads lightning everywhere wiping out a ton of enemies with each hit. I like that he/the writers remember that he can do that.

I've been watching Legends of Tomorrow. It's stupid and I love it. But I am annoyed by how often they have to contrive a reason why Firestorm can't just incinerate whatever problem is happening. And not a reason like 'going superpowered would be unwise right now' or 'it'd be too dangerous to go up in flames right here', those are fair enough, I mean reasons like 'one of the two components is conveniently disabled/absent'. I dunno how you get around that as a writing staff though. It's like trying to write anything the Flash can't just solve instantly.

I don't think that lasers do well against Thanos's army. Back in the first avengers film Iron Man tried to laser one of those big flying worm things and got told by Jarvis it'd take a year or so to burn through. In IM2 they did great against lovely hammertech drones though.

I just loved the scenes of him being a Musclebound Tech Bro with the tiny glasses and his wild hair pulled into a ponytail with a toothpick hanging out of his mouth. Since the stereotype for that kind of person is for them to be a bit dumb, it's fun to have someone doing everything associated with "Nerdiness" but backing it up by being ridiculously jacked. Also him bonding with the new Burd was cute. Just the fact that he was willing to learn to love the new burd despite missing his own back at home. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wklIA9M5nZo

I've been in a Danish mall that had a sex shop. Wasn't hidden or anything. On plain view right as you came up the escalator to the second floor. Huge window with mannequins in bondage gear and crotchless panties. Even had some dildos and other toys in the window. The next store over was I think a Levi's. The Danes are not a shy people

I mean, I've never seen a single Shrek movie, but I'm not a child and I have listened to rock music for more than five minutes, so I guess I'm lucky to have heard of this little indie band Led Zeppelin Dork
