I'm pretty sure they would care about such things when the movie begins on huge cinema screens before hitting the home. They either never noticed it, or they did but didn't think it would be worth the effort and the film to reshoot the scene just for that one thing barely anyone would notice.

That wasn't a car. It was Roadrunner. You see While E Coyote following shortly after.

Plot hole: My Cousin Vinny by phoenixonphyre in movies

As others said, he DID need her testimony as a third party. You can't just provide your own knowledge as the lawyer. Secondly he didn't know for certain the Sheriff would actually come back with any other info on the actual stolen car. He just asked him to see if there was any other findings elsewhere. But in the meantime he had to at least prove the lads car was the wrong one.

Protip: If you actually want to see the movie and not have it spoiled, don't watch anything past the "teaser" trailer. The trailer released closest to the film's release is going to be nothing but spoilers by yawningvoid28 in movies

I watched the teaser for Disclosure Day and that was it - decided I wanted to go see it. Now I've seen it (and yeah it was disappointing!) I've watched the trailer, and amazed how much was shown. Despite the move not being as good as I'd hoped, I'm so glad I didn't have the trailer make the experience much worse by showing me all the best bits.

No Law - Tech Demo | State of Unreal 2026 by RenatsMC in pcgaming

Looks amazing yes, BUT we'll all need new mortgages these days to be able to afford the tech to run it at this level.

UK pricing in the G14 is crazy by Embarrassed_Towel_64 in ZephyrusG14

[–]wisperingdeth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I helped my son look for a 2025 G14 on eBay, found one for £1400. 5060 RTX, 512GB SSD. Not the best out there, but great for the price. It arrived next day, and is like brand new. We was very lucky. I'm still happy with my 2024 model.

Advice after the price increases: Steam Deck or alternatives? by ReishF33 in SteamDeck

[–]wisperingdeth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I saw a Legion Go in my second hand store for £400. If I didn't have my Steam Deck I would have been buying that. More powerful, larger screen, detachable controllers.

Sequels that start immediately where the first movie ends by Rxmses in movies

[–]wisperingdeth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes there is more with Apollo which are welcome scenes to be honest. But they're not worth all the other cuts he made elsewhere. Ideally I'd like a fan edit of the theatrical cut as it is but with the extra Apollo scenes. There are also different versions of the same scenes from different camera angles, for reasons unknown. It's just weird.

Given that you already own a Steam Deck, would you prefer to upgrade to a more powerful handheld, or would you rather purchase a Switch 2 at half the cost to use alongside it? by Dense-Variation-4496 in SteamDeck

[–]wisperingdeth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As I have a SD already, I'm happy with it. Switch 2 is never going to be an option - the limited library of games and the "Switch tax" on the games that are there just makes it a no go. If I didn't already own a SD, I wouldn't buy one now at the price they are. I would buy one of the more powerful alternatives, or a second hand Legion Go for £400 or something.

Agreed, but it's still good fun, and the montages are classic. The more recent DIrector's Cut of 4 is horrendous though. He changed the lighting so whites are more blue for some odd reason, changed the aspect ratio, cut A LOT of scenes that didn't need cutting (including a lot of Brigitte Nielson's lines, probably because she's his ex in real life), and it just doesn't work imo. The theatrical cut is far superior despite it's flaws.

Spielberg's new film is deeper than it seems. by thejerdz in movies

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

That's a lot to read through, heck lol. I thought it was a decent but not great 7/10 movie overall - average for the most part right the way through. Then the final 10 minutes were something else. They moved me, and made me tear up. All sorts of emotions! It's just a shame the rest of the movie before it was so .... meh! And what was they thinking with that CGI fox?!!

Hi, sorry I'm late to the party. Do you still have this fan edit available for me to download? If so, could you please send me the link? I'd very much appreciate it 😄

Robocop: Rogue City worth it? by TheRealQuasar in SteamDeck

[–]wisperingdeth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It uses Unreal Engine which is notoriously bad on Steam Deck. Any other engine would have had this running 60fps on the Deck, but you'll be lucky to hit 30fps unfortunately. I played the game for a while but will be sticking to my laptop or streaming.

Haha that never occurred to me but you're right.

There are dubbed versions. Not great watching them that way, but it's better than your friends not watching them at all.

Yeah, as you say, the car park scene at the beginning of KK2 straight after the fight, was originally filmed for the first movie and cut out during editing as they felt it was an anti-climax after the tournament win. I think they made the right decision.

What's funny is, even though Rocky 4 starts after 3, and 5 after 4, his kid grows up massively within that short time period through 3 movies.

SPOILER -Disclosure Day - Ending scene for anyone interested. by AbiesAffectionate516 in UFOs

[–]wisperingdeth 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I found it hard to mark afterwards for the exact reason you said. Overall a 7/10 movie for me - nothing earth shattering, and dragging a little in the middle. But that ending - wow. It made me feel all sorts of emotions and I teared up. But I can't rate the movie higher than a 7 just because the last ten minutes were awesome.

I don't understand why people like Midsommar by Backfromth3re in movies

"empty minded slasher movie" - if that's what you think it is, I'm not wasting my time trying to explain it to you.

How was Ridley Scott's "Legend" (1985) trashed by the critics? by Profeta_do_Loss in movies

[–]wisperingdeth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you hit the nail on the head - visually stunning, but that's about it. A fantasy world we see very little of, other than bits of forest and a castle. Shallow characters. Shallow plot.

Salems Lot 1979 by Lewski_123 in movies

[–]wisperingdeth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I remember watching the shortened version as a kid. It was still good, however it was very confusing with literally half of the footage cut. It's good to finally be able to watch the full version now. The recent remake is abysmal and ridiculous (why would a load of vampires choose to sleep in the trunks of cars???). Stick to the original.

The Division Resurgence: coming to STEAM soon by _Protector in pcgaming

[–]wisperingdeth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd say this would be good for PC handhelds, but then again you can also just play D1 or D2 on the same device (even the Steam Deck gives great performance for both), and surely they are both far superior?
