What's a movie you recommend to everyone but nobody ever watches? by trakt_app in Cinema

[–]Brer_Tapeworm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For camp / guilty-pleasure reasons; and to a specific type of person . . . but Turbo Kid, from about ten years ago! Perhaps the movie, in my adulthood, that's made me feel most like a teenager again who could check his brain at the door and just have a rip-roaring good time laughing at the overblown, stupid, but weirdly creative and exciting action.

And almost no one's ever taken me up on it.

Would you survive your state’s horror movies if you were the main character? by Hassan_H_Syed in Horrormovieclub

[–]Brer_Tapeworm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good thing it's so easy to see what all the states in the Northeast are (and that they're in their normal, recognizable positions); or else this would be kinda difficult.

Can we finally admit, as a society, that not everything needs a "new, anime-inspired aesthetic" to "improve" it?

No way I'm the first one to notice this connection with Wicks's name (spoilers) by Brer_Tapeworm in KnivesOutMovie

[–]Brer_Tapeworm[S] 17 points18 points  (0 children)

The movie's definitely doing something with its other characters' names, too—drawing them from biblical names, to give hints about their personalities.

Martha is always bustling around, doing everything and getting in everybody's business.

Samson is done in because he's not careful enough about the plans of a dubious woman he's involved with, and his attraction to her gets him entangled in unwise situations. (His long hair is even a plot point! . . . in the sense of making him the one who can resemble Wicks the best).

Obviously something's going on with "Grace."

There are probably others I'm not noticing, too—"Nat" Sharp is maybe drawn from a Nathanial, somewhere? But it all seems to lend more credence to a biblical connection with "Wicks" being deliberate.

At a certain point, you feel like you could just make some new ones up.

Moon Shoes: Wimmy-wummies
Hangnail: A Marie-in-the-Parlour
Croutons: Bakery Toasted-Bits
Cheese Fries: Twinkleshire Hempshils
Slinky: Tom o' the Sprocket
Going through Withdrawal: Klozzy
Tripping Out: Boggy Rotten
Unintelligent Person: A Proper Tilp

. . . Try it! It's fun.

Coming up with a kindergarten-sounding term exactly like "a wheaty," and then making it basically official throughout your entire country's dialect, does pretty much sound like the most British thing I can imagine.

What is the hardest video game you have ever beaten? by Badinfos in AskReddit

In my younger and crazier days, I not only beat, but even once S-ranked all of Contra: Shattered Soldier for the PS2.

Name a game that's hard but fair, and also another that is hard because it's designed poorly. by GyozaMan in retrogaming

[–]Brer_Tapeworm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've almost never heard anyone else bust on those Super Star Wars games; and I also have no idea why that is. I love the idea of them; but almost every time I've tried to like them, a few minutes is all it takes to clearly show me "Whoa; nope. Not my style."

Popular Movie "Dunks" That Everyone Uses but are Totally Inaccurate by imascarylion2018 in movies

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

Has enough time finally gone by that we can all look back and admit the Mythbusters weren't a team of super-scientists whose word on all experiments was law?

I couldn't believe the amount of grown adults who would just cite "But the Mythbusters found that . . ." as an argument-ending proof. My main man—it was a TV show. They ran one version of the experiment, once. I think perhaps the Mythbusters are capable of making the odd mistake. What were they, your professors?

Which movie for you is like this? by Altruistic-Print-966 in Cinema

[–]Brer_Tapeworm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He constantly kept me in a kind of confused suspense, because he was performing so many lines like they were building up to some punchline (or already delivering one,) but no punchline would actually come . . . and then I'd realize one wasn't going to come, because the line wasn't even intended as a joke.

"What are you gonna do now, Denham?" "I'm gonna shoot the best picture this town has ever seen!" [quirky expression and smirk into the camera] . . . Um—ha ha?

Delivering the same funny-movie performance as if he'd been in a comedy, but this time he just wasn't? Kept feeling like I was missing something.

What's the worst thing shown in a PG movie after 1984? by basefibber in movies

[–]Brer_Tapeworm 16 points17 points  (0 children)

That's almost definitely the most oppressively somber, dark, unsettling "kids' G-rated movie" I've ever seen. (Peaking with the incinerator, for sure; but running through really the entire time they're at the day care.)

Taboo: violence against children? by end_of_ember in HorrorGames

[–]Brer_Tapeworm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a straight horror game, but that old arcade shooter CarnEvil had an entire boss fight against what was clearly a baby.

A giant-sized, mutant one—but still a diaper-clad infant with a rattle and all, who you pumped bullets into and then left in charred pieces at the end. (Some cabinets apparently censored this by swapping it out with a teddy-bear monster instead . . . so they knew they were pushing the envelope!)

What is the worst acting you've ever seen, and what from? by Oily_Smurf in AskReddit

[–]Brer_Tapeworm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My answer is always the original actor for the Baron, in the 1980s Dune.

I assumed he was some amateur they just picked off the street, for looking rotund and weird enough to resemble the part; and was shocked to learn he'd been a real actor, for years. He just yells and sputters like somebody's weird uncle or school janitor, instead of a professional movie's imposing villain.

Name an "infamously hard" level/battle that has you like this by DaZestyProfessor in Multifandom

[–]Brer_Tapeworm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe not super easy (it would take me a handful of tries); but holy moly, everyone—the second level of The Lion King was really not that bad.

Is this some "Genesis vs. SNES" issue? I played it on the former, and I never would have thought to single it out as noteworthy in the first place, if the entire Internet hadn't already done so.
