It's bad for your computers folks. Shut it down properly from now on even if it takes longer.

No, I mean I set my computer up so that when I press the power button it shuts down. Nothing too sci-fi about that :pac:

Ever see those piracy ads where some kid is downloading a film and a big red progress bar fills in 5 second? "Illegal download now complete!" Makes me laugh every time :pac:

Pretty normal to see teenagers in America driving unreal cars that Daddy took out a huge loan for.

I went to college there and thought I was seeing things when I saw the student car park full of top of the range SUV's, sports cars like Camaros and even Porches.

Really:eek: I'm living in the wrong country, the most my Dad did for me was (vehicle wise) help me fix up a SH racer.

I hate bad edit, eg when they cut from one shoot to another, and the person, is standing differently, or wearing something differently. I know I'm an anal geek.

Everything else I basically can handle, as I generally except that it just a movie, and the outrageous (illogical) stuff is there to help tell the story.

Prometheus

Couple things I hate about films, especially American films is Have you ever noticed that road blocks do not work in any part of America.
They put this thing, obviously made of balsa wood, across a road and try to stop bank robbers with it. Fails every time!
Also the cops will never stop the car speeding away from the crime.
Oh yeah Anything with Vince Vaughan in it, chaps just not funny.

In fairness if I had broke the law, I probably won't stop either, just saying like;)

allibastor

I hate in any film which has some form of robot or computer based killer in it, like in terminator and they can't seem to hit a person they are aiming at, surely such advanced computers that can walk and all that jazz will be able to to do on the fly triganomitry that our brains can do and actually hit a moving target.

GarH

Not sure if it's been mentioned yet, but when the 'victim' is being chased by the bad guy who is in a vehicle, they always try to outrun it by running down a straight road. (which has loads of side streets/gardens/walls/etc. along it)

I think his point is that road blocks are designed to stop cars. If you could drive through them they'd be pretty pointless

Lol thats what I was thinking of when I wrote my post

Toby Take a Bow

I find it strange that in the usual car-chase scene, there are never any innocent bystanders getting hit/killed/mutilated by all the speeding cars. There's always a couple of near misses, but that's about it. Compare this to me getting nearly knocked down every week or so just trying to cross the road.

tinyk68

I hate when people in movies run for miles in a chase scene and when they stop they aren't panting for breath or sweating like a normal person would.

I absolutely hate special effects in films. Hate it. That's why I don't watch action or sci-fi films. In fact, this hatred severely limits the films I can watch. I like dialogue-based films. I hate the way everyone drools over films like prometheus just because the space ships look real. They aren't real! and 99% of the time the plot and script is an absolute mess because they've spent so much time fuckin around with computers to make it realistic-looking. Give me a film like "Half Nelson" over prometheus, or any action/sci-fi film, any day of the week.

what about good sci-fi movies? special effects arent just confined to sci-fi/action films, The Social Network had more cgi in it than the last Star Wars movie, same as Zodiac, and those are both dialogue laden thrillers with no big action setpieces.

I used to have a joypad graveyard in my room from playing FIFA and Pro Evo. Wouldn't go as far as saying normal but it's gratifying. Also saves the time spent tracking the online person down and doing something more regretful because they had the nerve, the f*cking cheek to score a last minute goal when you dominated the game.

Dead Calm was on the other night and I caught the second half. I had a niggling feeling when I started watching that it was going to annoy me but it's been years since I've seen it so couldn't remember exactly what happened.


So Nicole Kidman and her husband are on a boat. Come across another boat where a guy (Billy Zane) looks for help from them. The husband gets on the boat and Zane heads off on the yacht with Nicole Kidman leaving the husband to die.


So what does she do....(this is where I started watching)

Well eventually she spikes his drink with sedatives and ties him up and locks him in a room when he is unconscious. She has a loaded gun but doesn't shoot him. She could also have thrown his body overboard.... but why would she do that? So inevitably he finds something to cut the ropes tying him up and he escapes. So she shoots him with a harpoon and sets up the emergency life raft and dumps his body into it. Does she cut the rope and cast him adrift??? No, why would she do that?? Eventually rescues the husband, of course yer man despite his wounds from the harpoon climbed back on board and tried to strangle her while the husband was making breakfast. And only then does the husband kill him with a flare... shot I might add through the sail where he could see the silhouette of his wife was being strangled and lands in Zane's mouth. Quite a shot.

She should have shot him while he was unconscoious and thrown him overboard :mad:

Never see one landing in the Sahara 100 miles from the nearest human, which is just as likely.

Talk to our mutual acquaintance about me playing Pro Evolution Soccer. I've smashed five controllers off the wall playing that game. To pieces. No word of a lie. It made me so angry. The only game that could do that.

Of course, I loved playing it, but it was infuriating at times. Exhilarating, beautiful, challenging... annoying. I'll take that.

Deep Impact on the other hand was better in that line. Hit the mid Atlantic and washed away the US eastern seaboard and western Europe.

In fairness though Armageddon was way better than Deep Impact. The only thing worse than Deep Impact was the Day After Tomorrow. That really was a pile of sh!te. Some superfreeze is turning buildings to ice and burning a few books in a fireplace is going to protect against that? :rolleyes: Normally I can over look nonsense and pretend it's real but over all the plot, script, cast and acting were so crap I take pleasure in nit picking.

con1982

In the 1997 film Volcano with Tommy Lee Jones, the strange red hot substance coming from the ground isn't identified as lava until about 45 mins in when a geologist/specialist clears up the situation. The emergency services are baffled by this substance. They all see the lava but dont know what it is! ! ! A five year old knows what lava is and looks like.

Also, from the same film
Kelly Roark: Paper beats rock, but scissors beat paper.
Tommy: I'm not paper; I'm lava... what beats lava?
Kelly Roark: My dad... I hope!

This film made me very angry.

Burn lava burn ! !

The scene that gave me the rage was when they were in the boat and the acid water destroyed the motor about 2 feet from the pier, so granny bravely jumped into the water and pushed them to shore, getting dissolved in the process.

the other thing that annoys me is when the hero is fighting 3 or more bad guys that have guns he will fight hand to hand combat, he will usually fight 2 at the one time while the other bad guys just wait until one of their men are down before they will jump in and fight the hero hand to hand, you have a gun just f***ing shoot him,

kill bill for example

she is surrounded by 100's of bad guys who decide to fight her one at a time, why do they do this just swarm her she has no chance then

In the case of Kill Bill it's done on purpose to poke fun at the genre.
