Jedit posted:It was quite common to call a drunkard a winesack, the insult being that holding wine inside was the only thing he ever did. It clearly doesn't have the same impact in our modern era of highly nuanced insults like "loving oval office" and "dumb motherfucker", though.

One particularly annoying bit about movie shootouts is that people usually take turns shooting at each other, as though in a turn-based gamed. Particularly noticeable when the director tries to mask it via closeups.

I've seen a lot of parodies of that trope, but there was one that came out relatively recently and was really good. And now I can't find it because that's literally all I remember :/

I can't even come up with a movie that gives a poo poo about the geography of anything ever offhand. Some 70's car chase, maybe? Bullit / French Connection? It's really the last thing anyone will / should care about. ... You don't even need to stay true to the area geography in order to stage a coherent chase scene with internal logic rather than a series of cuts, and that's like the one place where it could conceivably be useful.

Snapchat A Titty posted:Is it irrational to be annoyed that he gets away with some rapey poo poo? Even as a child who had not even heard about social justice warriors I never liked that first "date" she's forced to endure, Rocky just getting way up in her space just keeps pressing on until she gives in. It's pretty lovely. They were trying for this: "Jabootu.net posted:The core of the film, however, is Rocky’s pursuit of Adrian, the painfully shy sister of his mean and nearly retarded-seeming friend Paulie. It’s this relationship that really buoys the film and makes it work. Living a grim existence built around a crappy job and a home life that solely involves taking care of her brutish and verbally abusive brother, Adrian reacts to Rocky’s halting attentions with something approaching panic, so unused is she to simple affection and respect.
