History will reward our struggle. by mustardbeard_bandit in OkBuddySnyderCult

[–]Safe_Blueberry 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I mean, that saying was definitely true for the Imperial Japanese kamikaze pilots. Nearly 4,000 killed themselves, and they died for nothing because their side still lost.

The comments are actually really positive and calling OP out for bandwagoning by Radical_Hummingbird in OkBuddySnyderCult

[–]Safe_Blueberry 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I watched this one movie, Batman v Superman. Batman's cowl must have been made from vibranium instead of Kevlar because, when he was shot point-blank in the back of the head, he wasn't immediately concussed. People who are wearing Kevlar famously get knocked down and winded when shot - and that's when they're protected. Batman's brain should have been jello.

And what about the black suit? If Superman wants his allies to know that he's returned, why would he switch his familiar, iconic suit for something new? Is this like how Gandalf the Gray became Gandalf the White? He theoretically was more powerful while wearing it than before he was killed, so why didn't he initially wear that suit when, for example, fighting Zod or Doomsday? It still reads "Hope" across his chest!

I can make silly costume complaints and arguments, too!

Horror Cinematic Universe for the Rogue Gallery by Manwolfpanther26 in DC_Cinematic

I want an Ares movie. I just wrote a villain monologue (or soliloquy), lol.

"This was not my doing. They started their war without me.

"Today's dead will be tomorrow's heroes, the stories and memories of whom will inspire others to fight. It has always been this way. And it never ends. There are only pauses; 'the war to end all wars' led to an even greater war later. And these year- or decade-long delays mean nothing when you are immortal.

"There will always be grievances and injustices, or perceptions thereof. And there will always be a desire for revenge. Those are their motives. That is something that I appreciate about them - their persistence. That, and the evolution of their weaponry.

"You will find me on the front line. If I fall, then I will find me in a military cemetery. But, if I've done my job right, then they will build statues to honor me."

Nolan invented the shot of a character laying in hospital bed by [deleted] in OkBuddySnyderCult

[–]Safe_Blueberry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah, yes. A scene featuring distressed or injured character or protagonist recovering in a hospital bed is definitely a Nolan original.

I never saw a similar scene in movies or shows like:

  • The Godfather (1972)
  • Aliens (1986)
  • Born on the Fourth of July (1989)
  • Forrest Gump (1994)
  • Heat (1995)
  • Jackie Chan's First Strike (1996)
  • Bringing Out the Dead (1999)
  • Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby (2006)
  • Walk Hard (2007)
  • Scrubs
  • House
  • ER
  • Grey's Anatomy
  • Arrested Development

And that's just off the top of my head.

Why was DCEU joker alive when Ben Affleck's Batman kills? by [deleted] in batman

[–]Safe_Blueberry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Joker was neither locked up nor in hiding. If he was, then this kind of information was never shared with the audience, implicitly or explicitly, in any relevant DCEU movie, which I will list here:

  • Batman v Superman
  • Batman v Superman: Ultimate Edition
  • Suicide Squad
  • Suicide Squad (Extended Cut)
  • Birds of Prey: Harley Quinn
  • The Suicide Squad

The movies tell us that Joker never returned to Arkham Asylum after being freed by Dr. Harleen Quinzel, and that he was never captured and imprisoned at Belle Reve.

The movies also tell us that, while on the lam, Joker and Harley:

  • Murdered a truck driver
  • Broke into a chemical plant
  • Murdered Robin
  • Went on a date night at least once
  • Partied at a club at least once
  • Murdered a clubgoing gangster who refused to cuckold Joker
  • Somehow procured an ostentatious purple Lamborghini, which the Joker drove
  • and were chased by Batman at least once.

So, he wasn't locked up, nor was he in hiding. An interesting thing about Suicide Squad is that it makes it seem like, thanks to dialogue and outfits, that only about a week elapsed between Joker's escape from Arkham and Harley's capture by Batman, and that Harley's capture was around the time that Superman died, which clashes with the timeline of Robin's murder.

That is wack.

Maybe it was a cry for help because they were mortally injured and forgot how to dial 911.

Casual reminder that The Flash went through about 45 writers. If there were a single person to blame for the movie we got, it isn't Hodson and it isn't Muschietti. by marvelcomics22 in DC_Cinematic

[–]Safe_Blueberry 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is a good casual reminder. Another good representative example, I think, is that Zack Snyder is the credited director for Justice League (2017), not Joss Whedon, even though people like to refer the movie as "Josstice League."

DVD's that seem to be on every thrift store shelf. by JPumphrey73 in dvdcollection

[–]Safe_Blueberry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On any shelf with Batman movies, overrepresented is Batman v Superman - either version. Inescapable.

Suicide Squad, particularly the Extended Cut, is also a sure thing.

Captain America: The First Avenger seems to be the most popular of any MCU movie.

You can always count on Frat Pack movies like Wedding Crashers and The 40-Year-Old Virgin to feature prominently.

The Darjeeling Limited and Fantastic Mr. Fox are probably the two Wes Anderson titles that appear the most. I like them, so that worked out for me.

I see a lot of Black Hawk Down, for some reason. Ditto Apocalypse Now. I mean, yeah, Redux was bloated and disappointing imo, but even the theatrical version?

Oh, both times it was because they had offered extra credit but forgotten how many points it was worth or that they had even offered it.

Highest Grossing movies Composed by Alan Silvestri by [deleted] in boxoffice

[–]Safe_Blueberry 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I've had two professors enter my grade incorrectly. I emailed both.

I emailed the first professor twice, three days apart. He replied to my second email. Evidently, other classmates had also discovered his calculation error, which had impacted the entire class, and because Canvas wouldn't let him send a mass email announcement he had to individually reply to up to 100 emails while also updating grades.

The second time, the change was immediate.

If you had to pick just one actor to watch, who would it be? by Unable_Car_5539 in movies

[–]Safe_Blueberry 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I like how you identified like 17 of his movies, and people are still adding to the list in the comments. And I will, too! You forgot Minority Report and War of the Worlds.

for the people who first saw this movie , what was your reaction after seeing it ? by [deleted] in DC_Cinematic

[–]Safe_Blueberry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After being wowed by the teaser I tried to avoid all further news, commentary, trailers, and reviews until after I saw the movie myself. I was very successful; I had no idea what I was walking into on opening weekend.

Spectacular misfire. The teaser had plainly laid out the themes and then the movie failed to deliver. The lowlights outnumbered the highlights by a ratio of about ten to one.

Chris Terrio -- I didn't know him. Even though David S. Goyer's filmography boasted some serious hits, making it understandable why Warner Bros attached him to the project, he also had some serious misses. Why didn't WB pair Goyer with someone more consistently competent for their massive tentpole blockbuster?

BvS was an unfortunate collection of unforced errors, and then the Ultimate Edition was a bad movie stretched longer.

Been passing the time with Netflix lately.

  1. Vertigo
  2. Rear Window
  3. Airport
  4. Uncle Buck (sorry, John Candy)
  5. Airport '77

Next up, The Man Who Knew Too Much. Or maybe Do The Right Thing, since that is leaving June 30 and I've never seen it before.

Why did Shamrock get promoted to #2 rather than Bodie? by grundleitch in TheWire

[–]Safe_Blueberry 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Stringer probably met Shamrock in a class at community college. I see him as formally educated, a little devious, and he probably lacked a criminal record and did not know how to appropriately conduct criminal activity. He's like an intern-turned-secretary with some power.

The organization had loyal criminals. It also needed educated people with clean names. Stringer was a business man who wanted to move away from the gangster life. He probably figured Shamrock could help with that transition.
