CJacobs posted:Bane's voice in that movie is so drat stupid. God it's so stupid. Agreed, Hardy has a decent speaking voice, I wish they'd have just let him lower his tone a bit rather than that weirdly high-pitched fumbly accent thing he did. Either that or have someone else voice him that has a more ominous voice and actually sounds threatening. KoB posted:Have you played Diablo? He sounds like younger Deckard Cain when he says "Stay a while and listen"  Holy poo poo, spot on - it's Deckard talking into a soup can, basically

Murphy Brownback posted:"Reboots"/sequels of older movies that, instead of trying to expand on the original theme, just try and reproduce nearly the same exact movie with different people. I'm especially thinking of Kindergarten Cop 2 with Dolph Lundgren and the entirely unnecessary remake of cabin fever that came out this year. Why did these movies need to be made? There's nothing new whatsoever about them, and in the case of Cabin Fever it's seriously almost a shot for shot remake, the plot is almost exactly the same. It's called "playing it safe" because production companies are pussies about steering away from specific formulas. It's exactly why Star Wars TFR was almost literally a shot-for-shot retelling of the first 3 SW movies, just with characters that had different names. Same reason that some movie adaptations from books, games or other media end up being lovely, because the producers butcher the plot and take out important info to the point that it's almost an entirely different story. There's a reason a lot of really good movies in the last decade have been indie hits that didn't have massive budgets and weren't part of big studios - independent filmmakers are willing to take a chance and not be total pussies looking for a quick cash grab by making a 27th sequel to a lovely movie that shouldn't have had a sequel, let alone multiple.

High Lord Elbow posted:I am enraged by guns in movies that sound like a drawer full of scrap metal every time someone moves them, as if the director/sound engineer has subconsciously associated the sound of a pump action with any outside force acting on the weapon. This & also for me, the tire screeching sound effects for cars. I've seen plenty of new & old movies where they do the sound effect of tires screeching on pavement, but they're driving on dirt in a desert or some poo poo. It's the stupidest thing.

KozmoNaut posted:The Matrix has a bunch of practical effects that are only there for a split second and not really visible in SD. Reminds me of when I watched the original X-Men movie a couple years back in 1080 HD - some of the CGI effects were really obvious, one that stood out was the scene when Wolverine has a nightmare & stabs Rogue by mistake. The claws poking out of her back/shoulder definitely didn't blend right in HD, it looked like a hastily cobbled-together low res GIF overlay.

BiggerBoat posted:I guess. But if that were the case, you'd think he'd crank up the dialogue. I can't watch any of his movies without my sound remote next to me. I wonder if it's not just him, but sound mixing in general in modern movies. Most movies I've seen over like the past decade have horrible mixing where the music & sound effects are BLASTING but voices are whisper quiet (unless there's no background noise). I think I heard something about studios not bothering to change up the audio for people using home setups, so it always ends up sounding off-balance & lovely coming from a home theater setup vs. IMAX or a regular theater.

So maybe this has been covered before but it kinda bugs me... In Interstellar, Cooper starts out talking to Murph's teachers about his old science/astronomy books. The lady teacher specifically mentions they have "corrected" versions about how the whole space race was a hoax to fool the USSR. So with that in mind, how'd we go from "the moon landing was fake" to a loving space station in less than a century? Like, I get that that's a massive time gap, but there's no explanation of how we jumped from science, to science-fiction/propaganda & back again, then somehow ended up on this colossal space colony near Saturn.

BioEnchanted posted:The most annoying bit is that Velma is the entire reason the relationship fell apart. Shaggy was clearly trying to make it work, then tries to be pleasant with her after breaking it off, and she's just not having it, accusing him of dumping her for a dog. First of all, the dog was there first and secondly they have a very different relationship. Shaggy isn't trying to have a romantic relationship with Scooby, scooby's just used to a certain level of attention and takes it personally when that attention is diverted, because no matter how brilliantly intelligent he is he's STILL A DOG. Velma should know better. I always saw Scooby & Shaggy as kind of a parent-child dynamic. Scooby's smart but he can be impulsive like a kid & Shaggy is trying to protect/teach him while also being the "fun stoner dad".

LIVE AMMO COSPLAY posted:Interstellar might have incredibly accurate science or whatever but not one of the protagonists would last six hours in the Prometheus universe You ain't kidding, especially on Miller's planet with the giant wave/tide. it was probably covered before but the part where Brand is trying to get Miller's data, gets stuck & Doyle just kind of...stands around like an idiot really bugged me. Doyle had plenty of time to get back to the ship after TARS got Brand (hell TARS could've helped Doyle out too) but he stands outside the ship & gets blasted by the wave. There was absolutely no reason for Doyle to die, even if they tried playing up the "higher gravity" aspect of the planet.

Phanatic posted:Back to the Matrix. It always bugged me that people in the Matrix have to dial out to separate cleanly or they die. I understand they did this for plot purposes, but it still bugs the hell out of me. It's a simulation, you're just feeding sense data to the brain, but if you stop feeding that data in one way people are corpsed and if you stop feeding that data another way, they're fine? Makes no sense. On one hand the movie could be trying to suggest that there's some vital spirit or essence or soul that *literally departs the body* and travels into this other *physical place* called the Matrix and if you sever the connection you leave the soul trapped in the machine so the body dies, but the film doesn't engage with this notion in any other way than "The body cannot live without the *mind*." The mind is just an emergent property of the brain, it hasn't gone anywhere, it's still in the freaking body. It's just as if if you turned off the power switch on a machine, the machine turns off, but if you unplug it, it explodes. Funny thing is that it likely could've made more sense if they stuck with the original neural network idea instead of batteries. It makes sense when you think if it like a computer rather than a battery - when you power down or reboot a system, nothing bad happens. But if you unplug it from the wall or try to remove the "brain" (processor) while it's running, you'll kill it entirely. With a battery it doesn't make sense - when you take a battery out of a device, the device stops working but the battery can still hold a charge, it's not like the battery has a consciousness that gets "stuck" in the device it was pulled from. Personally I wish they'd kept the neural net idea then delved into stuff like mental illness, e.g. peoples' brains being fragile/overloaded which causes problems for them inside the Matrix (schizophrenia, behavior problems, hallucinations, etc.). Even could have somewhat explained how Neo had powers outside the Matrix instead of "there's another fake-out Matrix that looks like the real world" that people talked about. Would've been cool to see other concepts delved into & there'd have been tons of ideas to expand on for sequels/prequels.

Stupid_Sexy_Flander posted:The new movie is basically just like a fanfic sequel someone wrote to introduce their own versions of the characters and it's just not very good. I don't think there was a single fight scene where neo did Kung Fu. Matrix 4 felt to the OG Matrix like Force Awakens felt to Empire Strikes Back. Pretty obvious lazy rehash with some minor changes that tried (& failed IMHO) to plug up plot holes or add different twists, mainly for a cash grab. Just give people what they want - reboot the series with the info from Animatrix as a prequel, combine the battery/neural network ideas from the originals, then maybe make one sequel if there's a lot to cover. I mean hell, they covered quite a bit of info in the 20-30 minutes of the Second Renaissance 1 & 2, imagine if they could expand on that more. Won't happen but it's fun to think about.

Cowslips Warren posted:In terms of sound, can we discuss voice acting? I absolutely hate it all of the ice age movies because it sounded like Ray Romano's character was literally him just reading off a script from everybody loves raymond. Cullen & Welker are two of my all-time favorite voice actors - not just the voices but their general demeanor. Blew me away when I first heard Frank talking & realized his natural voice is Fred from Scooby Doo, just slightly lower. Plus they're so wholesome together whenever they do any interviews or entertainment panels

BioEnchanted posted:Most of the Twisted Tales books are fun in a similar way, like showing how pathetic a lot of the villains really are, like in the Sleeping Beauty book "Once Upon a Dream" a good amount of Aurora's confrontation with Maleficent is her realising what a loser she really is under her power. "I have had so many friends and allies that have got me where I am right now. What do you have? A bird?!" There's also a fun moment where Maleficent responds to a thought Aurora has in a somewhat inventive way that confuses the prince because he wasn't privy to it, and when he expresses that confusion Aurora simply explains the in-joke and just dismisses it with "She's trying to be cute, ignore her." Reading this reminds me I want to see more messed up takes on different Disney properties. Imagine someone bringing American McGee's Alice to film with all the darker background story elements or taking an idea like Meatcanyon's Pinocchio short & making it into a horror film.

But then: This brought to mind that I'd really like to see a TV or movie version of the Marvel Ruins graphic novels. I know Marvel has the whole What If series but Ruins was pretty gritty & messed up with how it handled the "alternate" versions of heroes. Incredible Hulk & Fantastic 4 were a couple of my favorites, the illustration & description of events was pretty gruesome.
