Krispy Wafer posted:The problem with Marty McFly's chicken issue is it doesn't exist in the first movie. So it must have been a side effect of the changes from 1955. Like the Lone Pine Mall sign. my irrationally irritating moment is that the first film ends with a murder that is never addressed in the subsequent films by a man who supposedly understands time enough to build a machine that can navigate freely through it. marty returns to his time and doesn't recognize anything about his life, because he's from another timeline. basically one night a Marty that lived in a relatively well-off and stable family with an angry caretaker who once tried to rape the matriarch went to bed and then never woke up again, subsumed by an invader Marty from another timeline.

muscles like this! posted:When Topher Grace left That '70s Show they brought in a new guy who was really obviously supposed to be the new Eric. Although they ended up killing him off fairly quickly because he got a better offer on another show. not sure how well my 15-year-old E! inside scoop memory holds up to scrutiny but apparently ashton kutcher did an episode of punked with every cast member of that 70s show except topher. topher was allegedly super aloof toward the rest of the cast the whole run of the show, left the show early to try to launch a movie career (then spider man 3 happened lol) and everyone kind of blamed him afterward for killing the show (even though kutcher kinda dipped out first). i always thought man what a prick, he couldn't make a single gesture to indicate he appreciated his role in crafting a beloved, popular tv show with a cool, close group of people. then we all found out danny masterson was a serial rapist and it was a bit of an open secret. okay topher, i see you.

SiKboy posted:Maybe you just got something thats not very cinematic. Like... Maybe now you have a mutant immunity to smallpox or something. They cant all be winners. a mutant immunity to smallpox would probably suck even more than not being immune to smallpox. first of all, we already got the vaccine for that. second of all, you'd still have the x gene so you'd be on the government watch lists and get searched at the airport more often and see strange cars parked across the street once in a while. "sorry we took another look at your file and we decided to hire someone else this time". but you'd also have a pretty hard time making your case for joining magneto's holy revolution against genocidal oppression. tough break

Strom Cuzewon posted:End of the movie, everybody is dead, mirror is alive, and the cops arrive, finding all the tapes Gillan made to document her experiments. wasn't that already what oculus was about though? instead of a bunch of dumbass empty suits mucking up a crime scene though, it was the two siblings going through time dilation and experiencing/piecing together the nuances of their parents' murder in realtime, which they never "totally" experienced the first time around as their child bodies were being intermittently occupied by their own adult selves from the future (and vice versa?). m night shymalan's devil kinda has what you're looking for, but the detective is trying to solve the supernatural mystery poo poo as it's going on instead of after the fact. the thing has a great sequence, probably the proto-example, of what you're describing about 30-40 min into its runtime* *made retroactively lame by the prequel edit: sinister is the film that was on the tip of my tongue. it is exactly what you're looking for. also the last act of sunshine God Hole has a new favorite as of 05:01 on May 15, 2020 |

SimonChris posted:My biggest problem with Minority Report is that they removed the actual goddamn minority report, which is the entire point of the original story! It is in the title! oh yeah!! the twist hinges on the precogs catching an "echo" faked by max von sydow and then the technicians delete it but that itself hinges on the precogs selectively seeing just enough that it still looks like an echo, rather than a real murder. like in the big reveal at the dinner party, they arbitrarily reveal just enough more of the recording to show sydow removing his mask after the murder. why wasn't that caught the first time? why would the faked "echo" still have the same POV shots as the original?

IUG posted:The echo being ignored isn't the fault of the precogs, it's a fault of the technician. The precogs shows a murder, one that looks just like one they saw already, so the tech doesn't even bother to review it. Scanning the timeline and looking around the environment is up to the tech so they can do the detective work. yeah but what I'm saying is why did the echo only contain the parts of the murder that were repeated exactly, at exactly the same points? why didn't the new, faked echo include max von sydow waking up that morning, eating breakfast, calling agatha's mom to meet up later that day, then shopping for the ski mask? the reasons those new occurrences weren't in the new vision seems arbitrary and glossed over. SimonChris posted:I was thinking more of the scene at the very end, where pre-crime shows Cruise killing Von Sydow, but then he decides not to do it, thus proving that pre-crime doesn't work because of free will or something. They shut down the system, and everyone lives happily ever after (except for all the people being murdered). It is such a lame cop-out to have the system just fail at the end for no particular reason. i saw that as sydow being the only person in the history of precrime who was actually allowed the opportunity to choose whether he would carry out fate (as defined by precogs) or not. precrime, by existing, was a confirmation of a deterministic universe - a refutation of free will. sydow is the only person that the precrime division never intervened with, and by killing himself proved that free will existed. precrime justified itself through its results, but those results were built on shaky foundations. the precrime experiment was never carried out in good faith because of that oversight regarding free will.

yeah I eat rear end posted:In Law Abiding Citizen, if he was so good at killing people why bother with the elaborate putting yourself in to prison act? It's not like they were fooled into thinking it wasn't him (or his accomplices) all along, so why not just do all the murder and deny it? Putting yourself into prison and somehow getting the exact solitary cell you need seems a lot harder than just doing the mass murder/assassinations on easy mode by just getting away with it without all of that. in fairness, I think it showed that he dug holes to all the solitary confinement cells. but yeah, current events tell us he'd have been just fine putting on a smile and smugly denying everything lol

He intended to fit a time skip into the series but in the process of fleshing out what happened in the time skip realized he couldn’t just zoom over it and no skip ever happened so for example Sansa is 11 at the start and by the time she’s getting shipped off to Ramsey she’s only 14. yeah ned is supposed to be like 35 years old haha one of the funny things about the show is that they make it pretty clear that a season represents about a year of actual time, so gilly's baby ends up being an infant for like 6 years

so jerusalem is currently doing a mad men watch thread in tviv which got me really thinking about don draper. i still think mad men is a masterclass in characterization and exploration of identity and desire in the 60's, and enough was thrown in there for the largely college-educated media literate cohort of people to be able to have something to chew on and primarily come to the "right" conclusions about draper. but in retrospect, for how mainstream the show became, i think if the showrunners were trying to illustrate how empty and ultimately unfulfilling an existence like don's is, unfortunately they were a bit too subtle. i don't think the average american male will look at don and think "hmm maybe something about society is sick or the way this man has chosen to chase success is inherently degrading", i think first and foremost they see a man who is hypercompetent, charismatic, and gets a ton of poon. someone to emulate, because he suffers the same baseline dissatisfaction they do but managed to overcome it and find success. i don't think it's any coincidence that the most recent explosion of the PUA movement coincided with mad men really hitting its stride.  i don't have anything constructive to add, because i'm not saying the series shouldn't have been made (or that it would have been possible to retain the core of the show without making draper so cool)

growing up as a white millenial kid in america, i learned nothing about the black panthers in school or in the media. my only exposure to them for like the first 15 years of my life is that one scene in forest gump where forest visits their compound in DC and spends the whole time getting yelled at by a recruit who is clearly being portrayed as an annoying nuisance at best and then this white dude starts beating jenny in the middle of the room and no one gives a poo poo (until forest tries to stop it and they all get mad at him)
