Like they try to go get a warrant but whoops their cop car is full of pudding. Or the Chief wants to see them to yell about how they don't do things by the book and they go to his office and angrily open the door but whoops the office is full of pudding. Or they go to testify at a trial and the sleazy defense attorney tries to get them to admit they are wrong but they make a beautiful, impassioned, and convincing speech defending their actions and the righteousness of the justice system but whoops the jury is pudding

It was an instance where the cops were briefly outgunned and is now used as justification for why cops always need military grade gear. Funny thing is they made a TV movie about it and there’s a total writer-insert scene where the cops need to commandeer a local gun shop and one of the cops says something to the effect of “I can’t believe it’s legal to sell this stuff!” Because lol that a member of the LAPD would ever make the connection between legal AR sales and heavily armed criminals.

It has been some decades since they've been making texas chainsaw massacre movies. Yet no matter what year it is set in, their basement seems to still have an absurd amount of leaks. In some it looks like it's basically raining down there. This murder basement is just unsafe - there has got to be so much mold down there. Take some pride in your work, you don't want to end your career of chainsawing random tourists early because you got the mold lung due to your own maintenance neglect.

"I Care a Lot": For being Russian mafia they seem unusually bad at killing the main characters. You don't even leave one guy waiting around to make sure the job is done after you set up the "accidents"? It wouldn't be that hard, just have a guy watching the pond or whatever to see if someone busts out of it. Have a guy wait to make sure the apartment explodes and nobody leaves. also surely there is a better place to store a ton of diamonds than in a bank safety deposit box registered to someone you don't have direct control over. At least hide it better - a hollowed out book, really? Like a thief is just not going to open it and find it immediately? At least have a jason bourne style false bottom to the case for stuff like that. edit: also apparently the main characters are really bad at this too. Do not let the russian mob boss who tried to kill you and everyone you know live. Even for 10 million dollars. Come on, he's going to kill you at the soonest convenient moment if this was real.

I think it kinda work because, unlike most movies in the genre where the protagonist is morally upstanding in some way, every single character is an egotistical shithead.

I enjoyed the movie well enough, but once they tried bribing and threatening the main character the mob acted like the only other option was a daytime breakout and then gave up. Why didn't they try to bribe or threaten the original doctor, any of the current doctors, the director of the home, or the partner of the main character? Really, it seems like they should have just bribed someone on the night staff to let them in and break her out that way.

Stowaway: SOLAR "STORMS" DO NOT WORK THAT WAY. Solar storms are radiation. Radiation moves at the speed of light and all other information. Therefore, a spacecraft cannot receive advance warning of incoming solar radiation, much less several minutes' advance warning. Also, everything else about Anna Kendrick's plan is dumb, and the fact that they let her try it. Sucks because the first two thirds of the movie were really tight and interesting.

I've not seen the film so I've no idea if we are talking about the same thing, but The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration send out warnings for solar radiation storms. See https://www.swpc.noaa.gov/phenomena/solar-radiation-storm . But presumably the film is something else?

I thought it pretty reasonable to assume there would be warnings of CMEs even before blasts left the sun.

Differentiating between most of what comes out of the sun (light speed) and coronal mass ejections (1,000-2,000km/s) is the problem I think we're looking at here. Yes, they're fast as gently caress, but if your Mercury-orbit station sees one on an intercept course for your ship, you've got on the order of 20-30 hours before they hit Earth orbit edit: spoiler tags for recent movie

The action cinematography of Falcon and the Winter Soldier was absolute trash, especially in the last episode. I like Marvel stuff but I like the more fantastical stuff a lot more than the grounded spy-thriller-action like this one. Winter Soldier didn't really do it for me either despite recognizing it's pretty good. It just really struck me how bad the cinematography during the fights was, goddamn. I was reminded of that youtube clip with the guy jumping a fence requiring 20 cuts. It didn't help that it was all in the dark but I could barely tell what was going on most of the time. To make it more confusing, they would slow down a bit to show off a cool move where Sam uses his wings in a creative way or whatever, but other than that it was confusing and headache inducing. Like I said, Winter Soldier isn't my kind of film either but I enjoyed it a lot more because the action and cinematography was super clean which showed off a lot of cool choreography, but in the show I have no idea how the action choreography was because I just couldn't see it.

How would Earth learn of and then relay this information faster than the light itself? 8 minutes before Earth knows about it. A few minutes or even seconds to issue a warning, and then send out a message to the spacecraft - a message which then leaves Earth... at the speed of light. But really, my frustration is largely that the first 2/3 of the movie are really good hard sci-fi with characters portraying realistic professionals acting like reasonable professionals in that situation. Then suddenly in the final act nearly everyone starts making dumb decisions for dumb and contrived (or impossible) reasons. Imagined has a new favorite as of 10:06 on Apr 24, 2021 |

All I have to go on is information in the link Gromit provided. It seemed reasonable to me that Earth could say “sure there’s some solar activity going on,” which gets more and more accurate (direction, intensity) as the event draws near.quote:SWPC currently forecasts the probability of S1 (Minor Radiation Storm) occurrence as part of our 3-day forecast and forecast discussion products and issues a warning for an expected S1 or higher event; as well as a warning for when the 100 MeV proton level is expected to reach 1 pfu. Additionally, SWPC issues alerts for when each NOAA Space Weather Scale Radiation Storm level is reached (S1-S5) and/or when the 100 MeV protons reach 1 pfu. Say Earth identified that the storm was going to blast off into space in 60 minutes. They alert the craft via automated process, which gives them somewhere around half an hour to get into the shielded part of the craft. Seemed okay to me at least

They’re considerably slower. CMEs take like 15-20 hours to hit earth.

Edge of Fear: If the criminals say they're going to be reasonable and leave in peace, why doesn't anyone ever just give them a chance? Someone always has to ruin it and try and steal a gun or escape, which always ends up getting people killed. It's probably going to happen anyway, but it seems easier to just roll the dice and hope they're honorable escaped convicts/murderers until they prove otherwise.

Was watching Fellowship of the Ring the other day. Gandalf is such a dick. He doesn't want to go through Moria because he knows the Balrog is there, which means the dwarves who live there are pretty much hosed. Whether he knows about all the goblins, I don't know. Gimli is very excited that he's going to see his cousin, yet Gandalf doesn't tell him that the dwarves there may be dead.

I kind of doubt he would just accept that they're dead though without seeing for himself. And I'm sure there is some book stuff that will dominate the next 2 pages that explains why he did it.

I don't think I've ever seen a movie like "Into the Grizzly Maze". Most bear killing movies go for the "nature can be scary if you aren't careful" angle, but this movie goes with the "bears are basically a huge dinosaur that really hates humans and actively hunts them and will break into your house to get you" angle. I don't think even a rabid/starving bear would act like this.

This movie really didn't even have anything to do with selfies. It was just generic "dark web" murder rooms with a really poorly explained ghost involved? I guess? Maybe I missed something, but in any case, it was well worth the price of typing in the letters from the dollar store dvd.

They are protons, which move considerably slower than the speed of light, and it is perfectly possible to observe the sun, see that it has just launched a big chunk of itself into space, and have advance warning before that chunk gets to you.
