      Just rewarched on a TV in a background and it’s so bad. I thought maybe given some time it would clear up a bit as GOT hype died down but it’s just awful, can’t believe the actors managed to keep a straight face.

    In The Matrix, humans were used as batteries. The energy requirements needed by a body to sustain itself outweigh feeding it to extract energy. It would’ve been more efficient to burn the food directly instead of feeding it to people.

      Originally it was humans being used for their brains as processing units, but they thought thatd be too confusing for audiences so they went with batteries.

    Last Jedi:

    Leia gives Rey a hand held tracking device and tells her that with it she will be able to find them wherever they go.

    In THE SAME SCENE, they come out of Hyperspace followed by the First Order and claim it’s impossible to have followed them.

    The tracking plot point is not mentioned again.

    (p.s. A similar tracker was placed on board the Falcon in the OG Star Wars to lead the Death Star to the rebel base on Yavin 4).

      The plot point is that you cannot be tracked while in hyperspace. Something the first order was able to do so they could follow them to their destination instead of waiting until they are out of hyperspace to pursue them.Trackers are well established in the universe otherwise. They just only work outside of hyperspace.

      Last Jedi was so angering that it killed all desire I had for watching rise of Skywalker, rise was the only star wars movie I’ve ever skipped, and still haven’t watched.

      When instead of sacrificing ackbar, they kill him in the background and we’re supposed to care about the sacrifice of this random purple haired woman we’ve never ever met before and just shows up to die? Should have been ackbar or Leia or even wedge. And one thing I liked about TFA was the budding relationship between Rey and Finn, they had great chemistry. Then suddenly you separate them for the whole second movie, add a second love interest that’s awful and for some reason Rey likes Kylo? The fuck??

        I feel really bad for Rise of Skywalker, it was really in an impossible position.

        First, Last Jedi painted them into a fucking corner. It was like nobody told Johnson he was making the middle part of a trilogy.

        Second, what little structure the trilogy had was 7 was about Solo, 8 was about Luke, and 9 would have been about Leia, but then Carrie Fisher up and died. :(

        They had to really scramble on the 3rd one and losing the original writer/director didn’t help. Abrams had to come in after 8 shit the bed and Fisher died and tried to make the best of it…

      Abed:
      It’s the first season of Lost on DVD.

      Pierce:
      That’s the meaning of Christmas?

      Abed:
      No. It’s a metaphor. It represents lack of pay-off.

      […]

      Abed:
      I get it. The meaning of Christmas is the idea that Christmas has meaning. And it can be whatever we want. For me, it used to mean being with my mom. Now it means being with you guys. Thanks, Lost.

    In Memento

    Spoiler about Clothing

    He just puts on someone else’s expensive tailored suit, and it magically re-tailors itself to fit him perfectly.

    That’s not how fabric or thread works. And it was deeply disorienting in a film that is otherwise careful to ensure that details like that matter and are reasonable.

      What? The suit clearly does not fit him. The dead man is bigger than him, so it’s over sized. It’s even mentioned by multiple characters that it doesn’t quite fit.

        The suit clearly does not fit him.

        You and I remember this film very differently. I could swear it was excellently tailored suit in a number of really close up shots, early in the film. To the point where I thought the film was telling me

        A lie that Memento seemed to be telling the audience

        “This is absolutely his suit. Look how well it fits. Look how expensive it is. There’s no way that what is happening here is as simple as he took this off of a dead mobster.”

        That suit had absolutely been tailored to his body. I understand that actors want to look great, and so I figure they let him wear a suit that fit for most of the film.

        After the reveal

        Memento Spoiler

        that it’s not his suit,

        they do have some lines about it not fitting, which felt very dishonest, after the earlier close-ups.

        I would have been satisfied with a throw away line of dialogue about the suit not fitting before the reveal. I would have laughed at it (the suit clearly fits great in almost every scene), but it at least would have made the reveal cool instead of silly.

        I would have also settled for (and I expected) a scene where he gets the suit trailored properly. But if I recall, there was no reasonable way to fit such a scene. Which I get. I’m not saying this film would have been better by addressing my pedantic complaint.

        I’m not really mad that actors get to wear clothes that fit - it was just a stand out moment in an otherwise seamless (pun absolutely intended) film.

    The biggest one for me is in Butterfly effect, when he goes back in time and gives himself the scars, it goes against everything we learned about time travel in that movie. If he did that he would have had the scars all along, they would not have appeared out of thin air, also the timeline would have diverged there.

    Claudette:

    He’s always bugging me about my house. Fifteen years ago, we agreed, that house belongs to me. Now the value of the house is going up and he’s seeing dollar signs. Everything goes wrong at once. Nobody wants to help me, and I’m dying.

    Lisa:

    You’re not dying, mom.

    Claudette:

    I got the results of the test back. I definitely have breast cancer.

    Lisa:

    Look, don’t worry about it. Everything will be fine. They’re curing lots of people every day.

    Claudette:

    I’m sure I’ll be alright.

    In Rock ‘n’ Roll High School Forever, the scene where they go over to someone’s house and pretend to worship their refrigerator doesn’t further the plot or character development in any way.

    A lot of scenes are just thinly veiled commercials - why are we spending so much time looking at the front of a brand-new car the characters are getting into? It’s always awkward and takes away from the scene.

    Chicago fire. Stella and Severide being “away” longer than expected. Out of the blue ignoring the other one. I know the actors had other work to do, but it was sloppy writing.

    The Office, Season 6, episode 20, “The Leads”. All the characters in this episode always seemed to me like they had a different personality for just this one episode. It really stands out IMO.

      I was completely on Michael’s side through that whole story. When Phyllis called him numb nuts, I think any other manager would have fired her ass. But they treat Michael like shit sometimes cause he’s so forgiving.

      Also after the Michael Scott paper company when Phyllis is crying that Michael claimed they were family but went after their customers, yeah Phillis? And what did you guys say when Michael treated you as family? You scoffed at him and brushed him off. So fuck you. Also hate how when you get a new customer you “got a new customer” but when you lose a customer it’s “they STOLE the customer”. There’s no stealing here buddy, just a better salesperson
