10 Beers posted:My rationally irritating moment is from Netflix's Wet Hot American Summer series. The movie was great, as were the first 2 episodes. Starting with episode 3, though, I feel like I'm watching a Wayans Bros."Movie" movie. Are you suggesting The Falcon isn't a serious character?

The old Star Trek movies had glittery aliens and I don't know what else because I didn't watch them. The new ones had car chases and explosions. Pretty sure we know which ones are better.

Esroc posted:Because movies are still mostly developed at the whims of executives who are too old to realize that 80% of the people watching them already know the story and that the other 20% have internet access if they're curious. So these executives are convinced that if they don't redo the origin story and beat that poo poo into your head everyone will be confused and not like their movie. All-Star Superman did a known origin story the right way.

"Get out of here, I'll hold them off!" Person stands there for the entire fight, watches other person die, yells "NO!", entire army or giant monster or whatever notices them and chases, barely makes it out alive. Way to honor that sacrifice, prick.

Cornuto posted:A man is eating food in a diner. Ben Kingsley walks up to him and shows him spooky photos. The first man tells Ben Kingsley that he's hosed up. Ben Kingsley watches as the man leaves the diner. The man gets directly into his car and drives off. The camera focuses on the man driving. Half of the shot is focused on the back seat. "No," I say to myself, "they aren't going to do it. There is no way the director is going to ask us to believe Ben Kingsley snuck into the back seat." But he did, and Ben Kingsley delivers a super badass line of dialogue just so we know what a truely terrifying badass he is. There was a scene in that new Dracula is a Superman movie where a guy tosses Dracula's wife off a tower and then kidnaps his son and heads down the tower stairs. Dracula uses his badass superman powers to fly down there like a bat and catches her and then lands on the ground. He lands just in time to see the guy riding off with his son in the distance. The guy made it down the stairs and rode away faster than Dracula could fall the same distance down.

Vulpes posted:In fact as a villain, it's notable that he simply seems disappointed, rather than angry. Especially since Nux just lost his gun. To be fair he seems pretty ok sending his brainwashed army to their deaths and trains them to believe that dying for him is the greatest honor.

I knew I was skewering a sacred cow and opening a can of worms going after Star Wars when I posted it. All I know about Star Wars is from watching the movies a couple times and playing some of the video games. Then along come the hyper nerds to make me feel ashamed about even doing that. I'm laughing too hard at the breasts one though. quote:T'ra Saa, a tree with pronounced breasts.

Armyman25 posted:I missed this one when I was growing up, so I have no nostalgia for it. The actors do a good job of giving a realistic depiction of kids, it's just that kids are loud, annoying, and not nearly as clever as they think they are. Why didn't they get the Million Dollar Man to play the rich guy this video makes no sense. Volkoff milking a cow is perfect, however, and I will not hear a bad word said about him.

If you could make your eyes go black by blinking wouldn't you do it to really freak people out? Also Supernatural dedicated an entire season to dick jokes and I appreciate that.

oldpainless posted:The demon angel stuff is still pretty good but a lot of that is the charisma of the actors more than the story lines. Up til the end of season 5 is pretty good but there's a noticeable drop after that for a few seasons. Individual episode wise it's still good but there's an obvious quality missing to the show. However the show always has pretty hot chicks. You can admit to watching Supernatural I follow you on tumblr.

Murphy Brownback posted:Anyone who believes this is the source of my irrational irritation, those are the best ones (although the latest season or two are back to being pretty good). Another is the fact that they still haven't resolved the brother in Lucifer's cage from the end of season 5 , and have only mentioned as a joke in the 200th episode, 5 seasons later. It made you think maybe they'd remember that thing and try and do something about it, but nope, back to not caring. I have heard one possibly reasonable explanation that it's not him, just his body in there...but still, you'd think they'd want to at least check to see if that is true. For a show that is supposedly about doing everything for your family to the point of stupidity and selling their souls right and left it seems out of character for everybody. Of course they showed the cage that Lucifer and Michael were supposed to be in, and Lucifer was alone. So where the hell is Michael and their bro?

Stupid_Sexy_Flander posted:I'm kinda thinking that pepper spray is probably the best thing to ever use against Daredevil. Better than Professor Xavier's weakness.  But Daredevil's powers don't make a lot of sense anyway. One of his things is that he can take a punch, really take a drat beating. Yet his touch is sensitive enough that he doesn't need braille to read, he can feel the raised ink on the page. So really a slap should send him to the hospital in agony.

All police are terrible shots though. In Spider-Man 2 Doctor Octopus was stealing money from a bank and throwing old ladies around and the police shot at him like 80 times and missed every one. He didn't even have crazy spider sense they just couldn't hit this dude.

Taeke posted:I was totally hooked for the first 3/4th of the season. She was cool and mysterious, the Punisher was awesome and I loved his trial, jailtime, escape and subsequent mayhem but it really fell apart in the last 3 or 4 episodes, to the point that I found myself doing other things while watching. I guess all the conspiracy/supernatural ancient assasin stuff felt out of place somehow. The first season set the whole Daredevil thing up as a street-level vigilante fighting comporate corruption and organised crime, you know? Things a blind albeit super skilled hero could deal with. A centuries old organisation of respawning ninjas seems like something the more powerful superheroes should deal with. Hell, they'd pose a challenge to the Avengers if they played their cards right. Fun fact: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles were based off the darkety dark Daredevil stuff from Frank Miller, going so far as to have the same accident that gave Daredevil his powers also create the turtles. Daredevil's main villain group is The Hand. TMNT, of course, fight The Foot.

Aphrodite posted:The show is intentionally funny. It's not a comedy, but there's lots of joking. There was one where they were transported to another dimension. Ours. So they become the actors who play them. This leads to them doing poo poo like spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on occult poo poo and one of the writers and actors getting straight up murdered by a crazy angel who figures out he doesn't have power here so he goes and buys some guns. Basically the show doesn't take itself seriously at all. Edit: Also one of the actors married a major villain from the show in real life so that came up.
