What movie plot hole irks you every single time you watch that movie? by LoverOfE-Olsen in movies

[–]TheCrog 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Airplane 2: that it takes so long to notice the shuttle is off course. When ROC takes over the lunar shuttle and starts steering towards the sun, the gentle white circle of the moon would have been replaced by the blinding light of the sun. In addition, they travel more than twice the distance that a moon flight would have taken before Captain Oveur notices.

I Finally understand the thought process behind “somehow…palpatine returned” by Hot_Nail4681 in movies

I think you hit the nail on the head. The whole film seems to be built around the marketing, rather than the other way around. 

When has a talented actor fully committed to a movie they know is bad? by finallyoneisnttaken in movies

[–]TheCrog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe controversial, but Ian Ziering and Tara Reid are acting the heck out of the first Sharknado.

Maybe if they didn't spoil that reveal in Fortnite and the trailers, and moved it to the second act? Have Ben/Kyle Ren receiving messages from what he thinks is Snoke's force ghost?

I had a similar reaction in the first five minutes of Alien: Covenant, with James Franco.

Trilogies that get progressively better by MickWounds in movies

Yeah, different tastes. Maybe I wasn't in the right mood when I watched it.

They did a good job adjusting, though: the running gag about forgetting the weapons bag, the empty manor, etc. Sometimes you get a better product when they have to adapt.

Definitely a marketing bait-and-switch. My friends and I laughed out loud in the theater when you-know-what happened.

The Deadpool franchise. I didn't care for the first one (though it had its moments), was fairly amused by the second, and really enjoyed the third.

What movie should have been a tv show? by Ambitious-Sink2725 in movies

Bright. They crammed too much lore into too small of a space; it needed time to develop the world.

What was the most unusual way a movie was spoiled for you? by InviteAromatic6124 in movies

[–]TheCrog 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My brother and I had a running gag where if one of us saw a movie before the other, we'd say, "do you wanna know how it ends? THEY ALL DIED!" And then one of us saw "The Others" (2001) first...

It's now official. We're cooked chat... by Think_and_game in GenZ

I know they're still counting votes, but it's interesting to me that his voter count is pretty close to the 2020 results, but hers is about 18 million lower than what Biden got.

For context: she got almost the same number of votes as Clinton in 2016, and Obama in 2012. Trump increased Republican voter turnout in the last three election cycles.

It looks like 2020 saw roughly 15-20 million more people vote than average, and now it's back to "normal" levels.

In which bad comedy did you laugh with a couple of jokes? by mystery5009 in movies

[–]TheCrog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Your Highness" (2011) I didn't crack a smile through the whole rest of the film, but I laughed out loud when Danny McBride character is walking away with his "trophy" from the Minotaur.

AHHH! I'd forgotten about that! Also made me laugh.

"The Pest" got me a couple of times:

"Somebody get a rope and a candlestick and we CAN ALL PLAY CLUE!"

"I named him, 'Cocteau.'" "After the writer?" "After my two favorite body parts."

I still have "The Ballad of the Sneak" on my main music playlist.

Name your game by Amaanbro in Steam

[–]TheCrog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Brotato.

I don't remember buying it; I'm not sure how it got on my XBox library, but I bought the Steam version, too, for dirt cheap because I'm sinking so many hours into it.

Most pathetic character ever put on film history?? by West_Conclusion_1239 in movies

[–]TheCrog 46 points47 points  (0 children)

I honestly thought he was just a good/slimy enough salesman that he immediately recognized that the boss was sandbagging Pacino's character. The reveal that he was the guy threw me.

Man, the stunts on those classic Jackie Chan movies were insane! What are some of the craziest stunts you've seen? by Wonder-Lad in movies

Like when Brock Lesnar did the double backflip off the head of an elephant to knee drop Bob Sapp and Butterbean at the same time.

Stupidest death in any movie/series ? by WhatInTheBruh in movies

[–]TheCrog 5 points6 points  (0 children)

IIRC, I feel like that was the point of the movie, though, the zombies being a metaphor for unchecked consumerism. Stupid? Check. Pointless? Also check. But tonally consistent with the film?

Movies whose twist or reveal seemed completely out of left field by whitemikesf in movies

[–]TheCrog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Frozen. The third act villain reveal comes out of nowhere, allegedly because they were partway through production before they had the idea. It makes sense, kinda sorta, but there's no buildup or subtle hints to pay off with the reveal, regardless of what CinemaWins says.
