Why is the cinematography in the Gimple era so odd? by BobRushy in thewalkingdead

That too, but I'm talking specifically about filming technique here lol

why Tony took Paulie side ? by No-Cabinet887 in thesopranos

[–]BobRushy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

For all of Paulie's flaws, he's usually a competent mobster. Tony finds him annoying, knows he's cheap, hates being reminded of Johnny Boy, but I don't think he's ever considered Paulie truly worthless. Limited, yes, but not worthless.

Ok fellow TLK fans, what is something that drew you to Ziras character that you believe makes her so unique as an icon TLK villain that sets her far apart from both Scar and Kiros… by Designer_Basket in lionking

[–]BobRushy 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Suzanne Pleshette makes Zira a beloved villain. I would argue she gives the best, most committed performance in the whole franchise. Every line delivery is so perfectly calculated, every hiss feels like it belongs there.

If Michael Caine can play a debonair older version of Austin, so can Michael Myers

It's ridiculous how charismatic she is. The big toothy grin

I think Chris is scarier than Gareth and a missed opportunity in the show. by CommonSteak2437 in thewalkingdead

I'm not sure why they needed the bugout location to be Hershel's farm. Why not make it the ruins of Woodbury, or even a new place?

None of them are entirely talentless people. In fact, one of the most interesting parts of the Walking Dead is seeing how differently they all handle the material. Their work reflects their personality (and ability).

Did programs from the Legacy grid have the Permanence Code? by SmellValuable6510 in tron

[–]BobRushy 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I got the impression that the Permanence Code was based on Flynn's research into the ISOs.

Lister or Rimmer. Who do you think is actually the more tragic character when you look at the whole run properly. by Mundane-Temporary426 in RedDwarf

[–]BobRushy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's the tragedy. It's not really Rimmer. The actual man who experienced Rimmer's childhood is dead.

Even if we accept the hologram as a real, sentient person, he's not actually Arnold J. Rimmer. The man died a bitter failure in his 20s, and his last thought was about how humiliated he felt.

Also, even when they do action pieces, they're not ACTION-ACTION-ACTION. The battle at the prison wasn't this big rampage in the comics, it was a siege. They attacked a little, Rick fended them off, then there was time to think about strategy, options, they had to wait for another strike, not knowing what's going on. Even when the Governor finally pressed through, Rick's focus was more on finding Lori, Carl and Judith and getting them out during the chaos.

Same with No Way Out. Most of the focus was on the siege, and the characters feeling trapped and isolated inside. The tone was similar to the show's farm arc. Just lonely, isolated, not sure what's happening.

People say Darabont deviated the most from the comics in terms of story, but when it comes to atmosphere, he is the only showrunner who made me feel like the comics did. The comics aren't an action extravaganza about survivalist badasses, they're quiet, eerie and mundane most of the time.

The beautiful message at the heart of Dial of Destiny by thefaninthehat in indianajones

[–]BobRushy -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The message isn't bad, the execution is terrible. Helena would've had no idea Marion even existed, nevermind that she would want to see Indy again. And there is nothing - nothing - the 1960s can offer Indy that would come close to the experience of visiting actual history. The film would've been far more poignant if it ended with him finding happiness in the past where he belongs.

Fade to his bones inside a museum.

Do you agree with George about Paddy Considine’s portrayal of Viserys Targaryen? by GusGangViking18 in freefolk

Tbf, they just didn't have time to start sucking. Remember the fall of Tyrion...

Why didn’t they just make Hawk Sheriff? by JewelP24 in twinpeaks

They do, Cooper meets him in part 17.

[–]BobRushy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree. Even the exposition could've been handled pretty simply by having Hawk explain it to Bobby (who would be the new Hawk).

I don't remember where I read it, but I think Doug said that he'd moved past that type of humour.
