I'm watching Once Upon A Time, and in the beginning of the third episode a princess and her prince are bouncing along in a horse-drawn carriage through the woods, their royal guard flanking them. But then, the carriage draws to a halt. The prince and princess exchange a few puzzled words, and then the prince exits the carriage to see a tree fallen across the road. Hmn. He approaches, and they study it for a few moments before he touches the log and says, "This tree didn't fall -- it was cut. It's an ambush!" And then they're attacked. Kinda lost the element of surprise there, didn'tcha? Couldn't you've moved any faster at all? LITERALLY A BIRD has a new favorite as of 02:04 on Aug 1, 2014 |

I just watched Oculus and it really bothered me that it is established very early in the film that the haunted mirror is capable of "defending itself" when people attempt to destroy it. This is accomplished by distracting the attacker into putting down their weapon and leaving, or altering their perception so that they are striking the wall instead of the mirror itself, etc. Kaylie creates a "fail safe," an anchor on a timer that will swing down and smash into the mirror unless she manually resets the timer every hour or so. At the climax of the movie, her brother releases the anchor, thinking he will smash the mirror and end it, but the mirror has lured Kaylie into standing in front of it. The anchor strikes her and kills her, the mirror is unharmed, and her brother is arrested for murder. Roll credits. Was the audience just supposed to forget that the mirror can and will protect itself? The ending wasn't shocking enough to be a twist, but there wasn't enough tension maintained for it to be one of those nail-biters that you know is coming. It just bugged me.

I find Captain America as a character incredibly boring, but TWS turned out to be one of my favorite Marvel movies. The fight scenes were fantastic, the plot moved along briskly, and Cap and Black Widow even got some personality injections. In contrast TDKR seemed slow and bombastic.

Organza Quiz posted:I watched Snowpiercer on Netflix the other day. I thought it was a good, solid movie and I know a lot of it is about the cool images but there were a couple of things that irrationally bugged me anyway: I loved the movie but had the exact same problem(s) with it that you did. Given the way they measured the children before taking them and the way the upper class had constant supply of fresh meat I thought for sure the reveal was going to be something really horrible, especially since the lower class had been in the same situation and forced to find an alternate way to feed themselves. The kids manually cranking train gears seemed downright tame by comparison.

Light Gun Man posted:That reminds me, the non-engish conversations in Agents of SHIELD say gently caress it and don't sub a drat thing. People will have a whole conversation in Russian or whatever and you don't know what the hell they are saying, and it's ok. The world doesn't end or anything. I really like it when shows/movies do this. It's more... I don't know, immersive? I was watching Snowpiercer while stoned and had subtitles turned off, and I didn't realize until halfway through the film that the scenes in Korean were supposed to be subbed and also had a whole lot of important plot points.

I was really bothered by the cinematic universe version of the Mandarin since the original was, like, a perfect tie-in after the events of The Avengers. Tony's got PTSD from literal aliens, the Mandarin's rings' power is drawn from aliens. C'mon, Marvel.

Well, yeah, there is that, but I think they could have created a version of the character with the rings that wasn't incredibly racist. Maybe I give them too much credit.

Was Billy Madison the one where the guy is mumbling in lightning-fast French and Adam Sandler goes "SLOW DOWN" and the guy repeats himself just as mumblyfast and then Adam Sandler says "Ohhh!" because that was pretty funny. disclaimer: that is the only part of any Adam Sandler movie I have ever seen

BioEnchanted posted:I also liked that he grew to like the bird that Hemmer got him even though it wasn't his 'burd'. Normally that kind of character would have killed the replacement to make a point about 'not my burd' but he was reasonable. Surprising nobody, I really liked this too. His affection for the bird was a pretty good way to humanize him imo and make him a little more than the typical heartless-criminal-thug sort of villain.

I'm watching Hannibal for the first time and in the season 1 episode with the Angelmaker the way they found his body was so, so stupid. He tied his own feet, carved out the flesh of his own back and supported the "wings" by wire, also strung himself up 20 - 30 feet above the ground with his arms spread and tied to opposing rafters that were, like, another 20 feet apart. I mean, I've read this thread so I went in with a generous suspension of disbelief, but goddamn. Everybody takes this completely in stride, too. No "wait, maybe he had a partner that strung him up" or anything. Just "welp, that solves that, case closed everybody."

PicklePants posted:I think a lot of it, is that since Avengers 1, he's been blaming himself more and more and his comic book "PTSD" isn't helping. He's trying to be a futurist, looking out for the world, but not only does he continually invite people to come attack him and the people he loves, but the stuff he does in attempts to fix things constantly blows up in his face in catastrophic ways.. Now, here he is again, and his friends are "betraying" and abandoning him, and he's becoming more and more irrational and emotional as it goes on. I don't often weigh in, in this thread, but I just wanted to say that I am one of the (few?) people still pro-Tony after the film and I feel like this was a really excellent explanation of why I feel that way.

Ugly In The Morning posted:isnt that basically what he did when he went into the future to find the one timeline where they won? I think OPL means to prevent murderpalooza from happening at the end altogether, and I think the answer to that is that Thanos was already so strong and in possession of so many stones that a simple time loop would never contain him successfully, and Strange saw that. It seemed that the one victorious scenario he saw involved Thanos getting the stone, and Tony surviving the snappening, and so Strange gave up the stone to make sure he was spared. That's why just before getting dusted he was like welp it's outta my hands now, gl brah

Phone posting so not quoting! Re: Reynard: YES YES YES. Reynard is actually the whole reason that although I originally devoured the show as it came out I then had to... stop and try again from scratch a year later, lol  (e: poo poo, it's been more like two years hasn't it.) On my first watch I didn't make it too long past that whole, you know. Re: Dishonored: PLAY THAT poo poo! I am a person who typically never cares about game lore/worldbuilding but Dishonored is incredible and I read every scrap of in game lore I came across because they tell you just enough to make everything so, so tantalizing. Also don't play DH2 unless you've finished the original and its DLC. It's so worth playing it in order. LITERALLY A BIRD has a new favorite as of 06:48 on Sep 18, 2018 |

fwiw, yiea, the mobile city thing annoys me too. I think for me it's less the concept of moving cities (hell, it worked for a castle) and more that they also survive by eating other smaller cities??  I figured maybe I'd like the concept more if I actually read the book (I liked the Hunger Games books, and am an enormous fan of His Dark Materials), but I read the first chapter or so thanks to Amazon's preview function and ugh, the prose.
