Wait, I've never seen the show but I have some general idea what it is about...and you say they leave the doors open in a world filled with flesh eating zombies?
what about when they have blazing camp fires in the dead of night and just chill and talk like they are at a boy scout outing? aren't walkers attracted to fires? wait a minute.. this show almost deserves its own thread, there's so much . . .
I saw this on twitter and immediately thought of this thread. Credit to @rorynotroy on twitter rory ⚪️⚫️ on Twitter
Making Movies LOL, They've been getting that wrong for years, screenwriters etc. haven't had an original thought in a long time.
It's a weird take on the character. From my review: "Depp’s snarling performance doesn’t help. Depp makes Whitey an interesting personality, but he never feels like a real person, as that pervasive sense of evil becomes overwhelming. Cripes, Depp’s Bulger offers such a “movie monster” that at one point, I actually thought he’d turn into a bat and fly away. "
I haven't gotten round to seeing Black Mass yet but at first I thought Johnny Depp was making another Hunter S Thompson movie based on that look
Computer hackers do everything like break into servers on the fly and inexplicably know where the backdoors are. Any programmer knows this is impossible. You need insider information or this is needle and haystack stuff.
Missing girls found dead are ALWAYS pregnant but for some reason it's only when the they do a second autopsy the cops find out.
To give credit where it is due, Mr Reese in 'Person Of Interest' is gifted his cool living space by his comrade in arms and wealthy benefactor Finch(nice episode). I also thought of Tom Hanks's character's apt. in 'Big', but that may be more of a stretch. Maybe a couple exceptions. Anyway, carry on...
Going along with music/record mistakes in movies, I love The Royal Tenenbaums but there is a scene in which the Margot and Richie characters listen to the Rolling Stones' Between the Buttons (the American version, appropriately as they are American, and they do show a London label). They put the stylus down about halfway through a side, which is about right, and first listen to "She Smiled Sweetly." "Ruby Tuesday" starts immediately after it. I love both songs, but they are not right next to each other on the album or in that order. It goes Ruby Tuesday -- Connection -- She Smiled Sweetly on the record. Just a minor quibble, as I do love the movie and they got most things right in the scene. And it's nice to see a great deep cut like "She Smiled Sweetly" get played in a movie.
Oh yeah, exceptions are there for sure. However look at the movie "Ted" where Mark Walberg's character works at a car rental outlet and his apartment is on Marlborough street in Boston's fashionable (and expensive$) Back Bay neighborhood. No way brother....
Which ones offend the most? I find these movies run the gamut from pretty bad (Iron Man 3) to very entertaining (Captain America Winter Soldier).
Since we've brought up superheroes, can we have at least one appear who isn't traumatized and depressed because he/she is a superhero? Bruce Wayne, in particular, needs some serious therapy and/or psychotropic meds if he's still this deeply disturbed over the loss of his parents during childhood.
It's been awhile since I've seen it, but wasn't part of the premise of the movie that when "Ted" first became a "living" creature in their childhood, that they both kinda became celebrities? Presumably they might have earned a bit of dough from that.
Or he could have inherited a fortune from his dear departed Grandmother -but neither possibility was given a second of time or thought in the movie.
I don't know about currently, but at one time there seemed to have been a standardized "jungle sounds" effect in movies and television. In the IMDB "Goofs" section for Cape Fear (1962), a movie set in the deep south and ending on the Cape Fear River in North Carolina," a contributor wrote: "One can distinctly hear the laughing voice of the Kookaburra, a bird found only in Australia." With that knowledge my favorite suspense movie now turns into a cartoon at precisely the wrong moment.
I once read an article in which a sound effects person (sadly unidentified) was asked why in movies a fistfight sounded like sides of beef being whacked with a board. His answer: "Because movies are cartoons."
