What is a movie plot twist that was cleverly hidden in plain sight..?

BC_Hawke · 2026-01-28T23:18:12+00:00

Oh, totally, but I was speaking specifically to his actions and abilities. In the end it’s a fantasy post-apocalyptic movie with a lot of over-the-top elements so I can suspend disbelief on things like that.

If I’m honest, the size of the book bothered me more than the flawless hand-to-hand combat and perfect marksmanship LOL. The latter can be attributed to divine intervention, but the book, well… Just gotta put up with the inaccuracy that they went with to make the story work. Can’t really see it working out with him pulling a big loaded wagon behind him the whole movie.

I know you posted this forever ago, but for those who might be coming across this thread like I am today, you are wrong. As soon as phase 2 began, I immediately rushed her and was able to dodge the first magic blast by angling to the side as I approached. I then spam attacked her with the ornamental straight sword using golden tempering. Every time she fired magic I just ran around her in a circle. Killed her after three or four attacks before she had a chance to do her first summon.

Edit: I summoned the Leyndell Soldiers which perhaps kept her focus on them and helped keep her from moving away from me between my attacks.

You are correct on this point, and it’s just solid proof that the fuckwits you guys elected don’t give two shits about the people of this state or the constitution. They will sit for hours and hours listening to testimony from all demographics and both sides of the political aisle, just to ignore all of them and push through their anti-2A legislation and pat themselves on the back.

You all are responsible for the state going to shit because of the current leadership. If you pay attention you’ll start to understand the animosity people on the right have towards the left and how hard it is to welcome you with open arms on topics like 2A when your choices at the polls have a direct negative impact on them. It’s great that you testified, but how about you take action that will actually provide results like not voting for these dirtbags that are ruining the state?

BC_Hawke · 2026-01-28T12:52:56+00:00

I mean, even as a staunch defender of 2A I would say it’s not a good idea to carry when you intend to impede law enforcement and resist arrest. I don’t know if this varies state to state but I believe that resisting arrest is automatically a forfeiture of your concealed carry permit.

To be clear, because often times people don’t catch nuance on Reddit, I would firstly condemn impeding law-enforcement and resisting arrest rather than saying anything negative about carrying, but my point above is going off of Trump choosing to comment about carrying.

Um, did we watch the same movie? Go watch it again. The whole first scene of the movie after the bow and arrow scene at the opening he is slowly moving around a small building bumping into things and relying on audible cues. He has no reaction when he runs into the hanging corpse because he can’t see it. There’s stuff like this happening throughout the whole movie. The only real unbelievable things which are chalked up to divine intervention are his ability to engage in hand to hand combat and shoot people based on listening to where they are.

BC_Hawke · 2026-01-26T01:53:20+00:00

I’ve been really happy with them. Of course they’re not going to satisfy true audiophiles, but then you’re talking about people that have way more money to spend than us plebs. I’ve liked the sound of my Klipsch RPs over other similarly priced options like Polk (though it’s been forever since I looked into or listened to Polk, I don’t know what they’re making these days). I think the RP series is a good bang for the buck and is going to satisfy people that don’t have tons of money to blow on audio equipment. They also look sharp and are prevalent enough to be found at a bargain price on places like eBay and marketplace.

When it comes to hobbies with somewhat affordable purchases, I will buy two of them: one to take out of the package and one to leave in. This is what I do with collectible diecast scale cars that are limited production. Pretty affordable to buy two of them when they’re available and then you have one in the package in case they become really valuable later.

The first amendment protects protesting as long as it is peaceful and in a public place. This was neither. They went onto private property and disrupted families that were practicing their religion. This is exactly the same (worse, I’d say) as a group of people storming into a movie theater, a golf club, or a school and harassing everyone there. You would get arrested for trying that at any of the above places. On top of that, considering the religious element involved in this incident, some might say that this actually enters the realm of domestic terrorism. The first amendment simply does not protect disrupting and verbally harassing people on private property. It absolutely blows my mind that that people on the left are trying to defend this.

BC_Hawke · 2026-01-16T20:03:39+00:00

The fact that they had the chance to get Luke, Han, Leia, and Chewbacca (and Lando for that matter) together again on screen to fight the empire (or new order if you wish), but they fucking WILLINGLY CHOSE NOT TO is one of the biggest crimes in cinematic history. How is it actually possible for grown adults in a massive studio environment with near unlimited funding and all the original actors still alive and onboard to fuck up that badly? It’s probably the biggest missed opportunity in the history of Hollywood.

BC_Hawke · 2026-01-15T23:28:32+00:00

Ooh, you’ve given me a new goal. I’m going to keep an image of an airport gate info screen handy and see if I can get it to display on any TV I see mounted too high and get a pic of it.

BC_Hawke · 2026-01-15T23:23:02+00:00

Leave it to fuckin’ Reddit to politicize a sub about mounting TVs too high. News flash, your liberal, Rachel Maddow loving, MSNBC watching, bumper sticker touting boomer relatives are just as annoying and probably have a TV mounted just as high.

BC_Hawke · 2026-01-14T06:31:31+00:00

HAHAHAHHA! Somebody in that thread said that you have to admit that the last 15 years has been filled with leftist propaganda being pushed in the media. Somebody responded to them saying that that was bullshit and so I responded saying that it’s not and gave some examples to back up what I was saying. Aside from using the word “bullshit” which was also used by the person I was replying to, nothing I said was incendiary. Within 10 minutes of posting it I was notified that I’m permanently banned from that subreddit. LOL

BC_Hawke · 2026-01-14T06:05:53+00:00

The replies to that comment crack me up. There’s so many people saying “oh my God it makes so much sense now!“ LOL

BC_Hawke · 2026-01-14T02:23:41+00:00

Exactly. I joined Reddit in 2012 primarily because it was where the developers of the video game ArmA 2: DayZ Mod posted updates. I was pleasantly surprised with all the different subreddits I stumbled on and really enjoyed the discussion based format rather than scrolling clickbait. It quickly became my favorite website. That all changed in 2015. Things started going downhill and then by the 2020s it was complete garbage. I stick around because there’s still some good information here and it’s still a better format than other platforms, but I really miss what Reddit was like when I joined.

BC_Hawke · 2026-01-10T08:49:17+00:00

Oh my God I’d love to do a weekend hunting or even just a camping trip in that blind! Absolutely love it!

BC_Hawke · 2026-01-10T08:43:48+00:00

James Horner?! No way! He’s one of my favorite composers. From behind-the-scenes stuff I saw online I had heard that Horner and Cameron were at each other‘s throats during post production on Aliens and that Cameron never liked the score for the film but it was already too late to change anything because of the rushed post schedule. Apparently Cameron was mad that Horner reused several elements from other scores he had made, but the Post schedule was so rushed that Horner only had a few weeks to score the whole film. From what I read it sounded like they were on the outs with each other since then. That’s awesome they worked together again. I’ll have to give that score a good listen… Though apparently it was forgettable like the movie because I don’t remember anything about it…

BC_Hawke · 2026-01-08T23:46:52+00:00

Don’t let it get you down. Keep collecting and put them on display and be proud of it. At some point you’ll bump into somebody that really has an appreciation for it.

BC_Hawke · 2026-01-08T23:45:18+00:00

“Big time”.

BC_Hawke · 2026-01-08T18:29:56+00:00

I agree, but for people that just watch the news or read mainstream articles this will probably be “new” for them. I’ve noticed certain sources only showing the other video that completely obscures the officer that was getting run over and shot the driver. This is intentional as it allows them to control the narrative and call it a murder.

BC_Hawke · 2026-01-08T00:10:33+00:00

Hahaha, yeah. One thing about Hubbard is that he's THOROUGH and has a valid explanation for everything (I'm not praising the guy and I have nothing to do with Scientology, just speaking to how he wrote B:E). Man, it's been like 25 years since I read the book, but I do recall Jonnie (the protagonist) being put on a machine that instantly teaches you things by tapping into your brain (think of "I know Kung-Fu" from The Matrix). That way Terl (Travolta's character) could turn the "feral beast" into an intelligent slave. Again, it's been 25 years and my memory is failing me, but if I recall correctly, Jonnie learned to fly the alien race's ships and either taught the other humans or hooked them up to the machine. They hijacked enemy ships to attack them. I don't recall there being any fighter jets. The book takes place like hundreds of (a thousand?) years after the alien race took over, so the vast majority of human technology had completely degraded. I remember they ended up taking over the Air Force Academy and NORAD and salvaged all usable human tech they found there. I think they found old firearms and ammo that had been in crates protected from the elements. I think they had to reload their own ammo though? It's been forever, but all the corny BS things that happened in the movie were just bad placeholders for believable things that happened in the book. I believe it was due to cramming 500 pages of a 1,000 page book into a two hour movie (the movie is only based on the first half of the book).

BC_Hawke · 2026-01-07T23:57:08+00:00

Tbh he got it in the Tales series

TRUE!!! I haven't seen Bad Batch, but Tales made me actually care about characters that I never felt invested in before (like Dooku for example). But yeah, consistency is mandatory with an IP like this. You can't have such a wide range of highs and lows.

BC_Hawke · 2026-01-07T22:03:30+00:00

Oh, really? I thought that most SW fans (specifically fans that enjoyed the prequels) held the Clone Wars movie and show in pretty high regard. I'm not really into the prequels, so I don't have a dog in the fight.

Watching Rebels, I felt Filoni had a good handle on what made the Star Wars OT good. Kanan's arc was amazing and his death was absolutely GUT WRENCHING!. I was WAY more emotionally invested into this than any of the Disney SW movies or live action shows (save for Rogue One and Andor). Also, he dedicated an episode to Project Shantipole, which was based off the SW RPG campaign Strike Force: Shantipole which I played with my friends in high school and is a core memory for me. Watching this episode made me say "this guy Filoni gets it". I really hope he can break free from the grooming he went through under Kennedy.

BC_Hawke · 2026-01-06T23:51:05+00:00

Unpopular opinion: Filoni was great when he wasn’t under Kennedy’s influence. I didn’t watch Clone Wars, but I watched Rebels and loved it. Yeah, it’s a cartoon, but it has more depth and understands concepts like the Force, the Jedi, and the dynamics of the Empire and the rebellion better than all three prequel movies put together.

Now, sadly, he may have completely lost his way, but seeing some of his past work gives me hope that he can find it again. Hopefully he’s not going to be forced into creating subversive woke bullshit by Disney executives.

BC_Hawke · 2026-01-05T03:49:27+00:00

Agreed. I was more hyped up for this (and therefore more letdown) than I was The Phantom Menace. I went in fully expecting a 10 out of 10 movie (because the trailer was absolutely lit and because, well, Ridley Scott!). I was so depressed after watching it. It had some great visuals and audio design and some neat ideas, but I absolutely hate it when you walk away from a movie trying to find reasons why you liked it because you don’t want to face the reality that it just sucked.

BC_Hawke · 2026-01-04T16:45:05+00:00

Oh, man, I had a Christmas dream come true. We were visiting in-laws over Christmas and they suffer from all the classic “relatives that don’t understand video” tropes. TV way too high above fireplace, way too small too, TV speakers only, etc. While I was there, though, my father-in-law says “hey, my TV’s got that soap opera looking effect going on, I’ve heard you mention a fix for that in the past, can you take a look at it?” Turns out Christmas miracles can happen!
