I appreciate your subtle attempt to call me ignorant, but you might have forgotten which thread you're in. If she was intended to be Hispanic the movie does a very bad job illustrating such considering she speaks at most two lines in Spanish and has no physical features which are most common to Hispanic people. If she has an accent I didn't notice. It's either whitewashing in Hollywood, a rationally irritating peeve; or the character has one word she says very differently from everyone else in the film, an irrationally irritating peeve.

I don't know, I'm Hispanic and grew up around a lot of other Hispanic/Latino people, and when I saw the movie that stuck out to me too. It's probably just because although her character is Latina (which is cool, I didn't know that), I don't remember her actually having an accent throughout the movie, or having it be that prominent on any other words. I figured she must just want to pronounce Hiro's name the 'right' way or something to be nice, or have a particular interest in Japanese culture/learning Japanese so she uses that pronunciation out of habit. Or maybe she did have an accent the whole time and I just didn't realize it because that's what sounds normal to me  It's been forever since I saw Big Hero 6 anyway, who knows.

Watching the movie it's literally impossible to tell she's a Latina. She doesn't have an accent that's identifiable as such, and when I saw the movie I thought the Spanish line she had was probably just environmental from living in not-California. She's a green-eyed, neutral-accented, blonde, pale person from the perspective of a first-time observer, so I assumed she was supposed to be "white/american" in the movie's context. I just figured since it's set in mixed California-Japan she used the Japanese pronunciation, she's just the only person in the film to do so, including the main protagonist.

What I never understood about Big Hero 6 is why Hiro never made another telepathic headband to override his original one that the bad guy stole. Also, that his submission to 'nerd school' was a world changing invention which he had already fully developed and built - just to get a place in college while all the other projects we saw were still in early design phase. And there was no reason for the bad guy to steal the invention, cause the explosion and kill Hiro's brother. He could have just waited for Hiro to work out the kinks, copied the blueprints under guise of being the headmaster of the school and reclaimed the Sparrow machine at his leisure. Also, "hypersleep". What a copout. I knew it was coming a mile away, but it would have made so much more sense for time to simply not pass in teleportation land or have the lost pod "stored in the memory buffers" of the stargate, like in that one episode of Stargate.

Yeah, that was there solely so there was some false tension that Beymax would "die" rescuing Callahan's daughter.

Jaramin posted:Big Hero 6,the super white girl with the chemical bomb things is the only character in the entire movie to pronounce "Hiro" with a weird Japanese accent so it sounds like "Hido." I know the movie is supposed to take place in Japanamerica, but she is literally the only person who says it like that, not even his mom does. What bothers me with that film is when he sticks a jet pack on the robot and learns to fly with it. They show this rather well with some dramatic last minute saves ending up on the golden gate bridge. They then repeat the scene by going 'oh, flying makes you happy, lets fly up to that building'. They then really ram the point home by going, 'err... 5 more minutes of flying cos we need to pad this film out a bit more'. Like seriously they repeat the same scene 3 times back to back and drag it out for an unreasonable amount of time that just gets really boring. I guess the target audience isnt exactly 30 somethings but im sure todays ADHD riddled kids must get tired of that part too. dpack_1 has a new favorite as of 10:32 on Feb 7, 2015 |

Pretty much anything involving defibs in movies/tv is wrong. Or medical equipment in general. Shocking on a flatline is probably the biggest offender. I also get annoyed when anything does the cliched "heart monitor beeps slower and slower until the patient die, when it becomes one long, sustained, beep." That's NOT how monitors work. There is no long beep on a flatline. It would be nothing for a few seconds, and then it would alarm. And an alarm isn't a steady beep, it's a specific mix of several tones/beeps and flashing lights.

Now I want to see a movie where everybody is at the bedside, in a nice soft focus and saying goodbye, the heartbeats stop, and then everybody gets teary eyed smiles and starts to hug and suddenly the alarms go off and everything snaps into a hard focus florescent overtone and everybody is freaking out until nurses rush in and shove them all aside to try to resuscitate. Because tragedy is comedy.

The killer enters a pitch black room, from a lit hallway, and has a big rear end flash bulb let off right into his eyes over and over again. Not to mention he's hesitant and unsure when he arrives, it seems pretty feasible to me Of course, I loving love Rear Window and will argue everything about it is perfect and sublime. I also think it's better than Psycho and Vertigo, Yeah, come at me top ten Hitchcock film list compilers!

I can believe being blinded by it, but they did it like 4 times. At no point after the first one, or,second one, or third one, did he think closing his eyes, covering his eyes or, you know, running towards the guy instead of walking very slowly and ominously. I really liked the movie, I just felt that part was silky.

Every now and then I like to express the opinion that watching a fan cut of Fight Club with all the narration removed would be an interesting experience. I feel like it would be a more contemplative movie if Jack wasn't just vomiting his silly anarchist thoughts all over the place.

Pacific Rim has been brought up a few times. On the whole I love this film, it's a ridiculous tounge-in-cheek sci-fi action with good comic relief, no awkward love scene, and giant loving robots fighting giant loving monsters. Irrational Irritation = toward the end they send two jaegers to the ocean bed. Only, Gypsy Danger is 'analogue' and runs on "50 diesel engines per muscle strand". How the gently caress are them engines getting any oxygen to keep the internal combustion going?!
