ducttape posted:When someone fires a gun into the air to get another persons attention. Yes, it makes a loud noise, but bullets do come down (and, for that matter, occasionally hurt people in the process). Doubly so when the person doing the shooting is the 'good guy', trying to avoid actually shooting the 'bad guy', while standing in a field of dirt/grass/sand/anything you could safely fire a bullet into a few meters from you and still get your point across. Yeah but you might end up shooting the Invisible Swordsman and then you're screwed.

Doesn't Gandalf slamming his staff down on the bridge break the bridge so that it collapses when the Balrog steps on it? I always assumed that's what happened.

Prime Keanu vs. Old Dennis Hopper always seemed like a weird fight at the end of Speed, especially since Dennis Hopper wins before Keanu outmaneuvers him.

At the beginning of The Avengers, Tony Stark is returning to Stark Tower after giving himself and only himself free power forever. As he's walking in, JARVIS tells him that Agent Coulson wants to speak with him and Tony says, "I'm not in," and then there's a beat and he says, "I'm actually out." It's filmed and delivered like it's a joke (there's even a pause after it for people to laugh) but... it's not a joke. I mean he's technically outside when he says it but that's still not funny. It bothers me so much and I'm not sure why.

Wheat Loaf posted:I mentioned Con Air a couple of pages ago, and it's really strange to me that Nicolas Cage of all people was one of the world's biggest action stars for a few years in the late 90s: he won his Oscar then immediately went on to The Rock, then Con Air, then Face/Off, then Gone In 60 Seconds, off the top of my head. It seemed like a dare another producer made to Jerry Bruckheimer while they were doing coke or something.

He's perfectly legible in Black Hawk Down, although maybe that's because he has to yell all of his dialogue to the deafened guy he's paired with all movie.

The new Magnificent Seven film completely changes the message of the original and it makes me so Goddamn mad. Also, one of the heroes is a straight-up suicide bomber and it comes off kind of weird.

Mu Zeta posted:The scene is ruined for me because I can't stand the lovely cop actor that says something like "Oh hell naw, I did NOT sign up for this" and he won't shut up through the whole sequence. There's things like that riddled through all his Batman movies. The weirdest thing about that cop is that he's played by Nicky Katt, who is generally a fantastic actor and has had a lot of memorable roles. He was great in Insomnia, directed by Christopher Nolan.

I was bored out of my mind in the theater and it's a movie where a tattooed Ralph Fiennes glues a naked Phillip Seymour Hoffman to a wheelchair, sets him on fire, and rolls him down the street for gently caress's sake. Brett Ratner loving sucks.

At the end of Iron Man 2 they deny Tony the opportunity to join The Avengers (he's only a consultant) so you think maybe he is going to have to earn his way in but then in The Avengers he just kinda shows up as a member so ???

The Greatest Showman doesn’t just whitewash PT Barnum, who was even for his time a piece of poo poo, but it also turns Jenny Lind into a simpering hussy when she was, in fact, a devoted philanthropist who donated all of her American tour earnings to charity. It’s kind of hosed up!

Sand Monster posted:Watching Heat which as fans of the film are well aware, the attention to detail is incredible at times. I get that it's required to advance the plot, but this is the IIMM thread after all -- so, with the armored truck job at the beginning of the movie, why not disarm the guards? Waingro executes one for seemingly no reason, and the next guard pulls a gun from his leg holster. The crew is acclaimed for how professional they are, yet they don't take the guns away? It doesn't make much sense to me, but then again, pulling in a dip poo poo, loose cannon like Waingro for such a tight crew in the first place was totally stupid. I always figured Waingro was supposed to check them and didn't because he's a dipshit.

It’s not ultimately a great movie but What Dreams May Come is gorgeous so I guess I’m irrationally irritated that more movies don’t look like What Dreams May Come. The only thing I can think of that aped it was that DLC for The Witcher 3.

Mauser posted:Are there any Marvel movies where any fight scene has like an ounce of tension? I think the last fight scene in Iron Man 1 (where Tony isn’t at full power and Iron Monger is way bigger) and most of the fights in Iron Man 3 (since Tony goes through like 30 suits) all have some tension to them.

Either the Millie Bobbie Brown OR the Skarsgard plots could have been cut and it wouldn’t have mattered. Cut them both out, poo poo, who cares. I did enjoy that Kyle Chandler spent King of the Monsters being the Serious White Man who had all the answers and then in this one he was completely befuddled the entire time. I think all of his lines were questions about what the hell was going on.

muscles like this! posted:The opposite thing happened with the movie of World War Z where they cut out the original ending in which his character actually did stuff so in the released movie Matthew Fox is in it for like 2 seconds. Terry Crews is a corpse at the beginning of Terminator: Salvation for no apparent reason. I kind of assumed he’d be the Terminator at the end or something but nope! He’s just dead.

Silent Hill 2 rips off a bunch of scenes from Jacob’s Ladder but it’s ultimately enough of a different thing that you could probably make a movie about it without getting sued.

Then we get to that point in the story he just remembers he's John Wick and forgets he was bleeding to death. Yeah, it plays the scene again and then he… just gets up and walks away? Very odd.

nesamdoom posted:maybe if you're getting a hitter from detroit or chicago. that's not pro poo poo though. anyone can clack 3 off from a 25 in someone's back, chuck it in the first river crossed on the way back to city, and make like 5k. But that's so much risk to reward that a decent plan is not standing 3 ft from someone. handguns aren't so innaccurate that you need to be within arms reach, if that's the gun someone has they might as well just stab someone. get a bladed revolver and chop them in the side of the neck and not make so much noise. it's not hitman and you getta shoot a mf and throw on a chef's hat and walk away. even drivebys make more sense, poppin out the window and going away rather than making a bunch of noise advertising felonious behaviour. Actually, you’re incorrect Source: I’m the Jackal
