The Iron fist show had me livid when the MC gets "voted" out by the board of the company the MC OWNS A MAJORITY OF!!

I love scenes where a character hotwires a car by:

  • reaching under the steering wheel and pulling a panel off. It isn't held on by fasteners or anything, it's just like wedged in place.

  • A bunch of loosely coiled wires tumbles out. In front are two thicker wires that are cut, stripped and tinned.

  • The character strikes these two wires against each other like attempting to strike a match, mostly to make sparks.

  • The sound of a car engine turning over plays.

  • Climb in, shut the door, put it in gear and drive off.

CPR. Doing 2-3 chest compressions, seconds apart, and then some mouth to mouth, followed by 2-3 more chest compressions. Or the needle into the heart thing. Or the shock a flatline thing. All of it. It's just all wrong.

On Andromeda? I believe it was, a villain used the stereotypical twist the head to break the neck and they fall over dead bit. The character proceeded to be not dead and did the stereotypical express their love while dying in the protagonist's arms bit, talking and moving their neck as if it wasn't broken. And then died.

Two people are fighting and one gets control of the other. He then throws the person across the room instead of killing him.

"We got their hard drive!" *Holds up a power supply.

And even if it was a hard drive, what were you going to do with it? You went in there guns blazing with no warrant after you knocked on the wrong door. The evidentiary chain is well and truly broken at this point. Nothing from that scene would be able to be entered into evidence.

"I want a lawyer!"

Cops: Proceed to very thoroughly not respect Miranda law and continue to interrogate

There was a movie or show where they ripped a hard drive out of a server and then punted it through a gunfight. It slid on floors, rolled around a dozen times, and the hero picks it up and leaves with it.

And it just works.

Eh thats believable to me, dropped one down a flight of stairs once. Dented enough to no longer fit in the quick release bay, sounded a bit scuffed but still worked perfectly fine.

I don't have a particular scene, but a here's a funny conversation I had with an acquaintance:

Huh, this thing takes just 12 volts. Could run it in a car.

Wait, a car's electricals are just 12 volts?

Yeah. The battery and most wiring around a car is 12 volts.

Wait.. then what about those scenes in movies where they torture people with car batteries?

Yeah, those are fake.

looking into the distance as the realization dawns on him Those movie directors deserve jail time.

[-] Dasus@lemmy.world 1 points 27 minutes ago

Quite a few of them have several car batteries in series so as to increase the voltage. And also Which is the Killer, Current or Voltage?

[-] lemonmelon@lemmy.world 5 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago)

This is completely ignoring amperage and lowered resistance via saline. An automotive battery with sufficient CCA applied to sweaty or salt-water-doused skin wouldn't be fun to be on the receiving end of. And if they're using a picana, which they often are, things are going to be even worse.

Basically every moment of this unintentionally hilarious show.

I laughed constantly.

It helps to know archaeology, but it's so bad it's good even if you don't.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bonekickers

In the first episode they find that the True Cross that crucified Jesus is in Britain and at the end they just kind of let it get burned up in a fire when they could have easily removed it from the fire.

[-] Trigger2_2000@sh.itjust.works 2 points 44 minutes ago

The Independent's Thomas Sutcliffe found it laughable and full of absurdities, while also observing that "Professor Magwilde's approach to archaeology is unconventional. She likes to squat at the edge of the trench and mutter urgently, 'Come on! Give up your secrets!'"

I almost want to watch it now - almost.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 2 points 42 minutes ago

Do it. Honestly, it's one of the funniest things I've ever seen. I have no idea what they were thinking. And it just gets stupider and stupider.

[-] pjwestin@lemmy.world 41 points 5 hours ago

The Dark Knight trilogy really wanted to be a realistic, grounded take on the Batman mythos, so they dropped the more fantastical elements of some characters' backstories. Ra's Al Ghul was no longer immortal, Bane didn't have super steroids, the Joker wasn't permanently bleached by chemicals...then there's Two-Face.

I guess they thought acid burns were too unrealistic, so they gave him regular burns...apparently without knowing that burns that severe would be so painful that he wouldn't even be able to remain conscious, much less run around the city on a killing spree. I mean, you can see exposed muscle in some places. There's a line where Gordon says he's rejecting skin grafts, and I remember thinking, "WTF are you talking about? He should be in a medically induced coma, not making healthcare decisions." Half of his body was an open wound; I'm amazed he didn't die of infection 15 minutes after he left the hospital.

It always bothered me that two-face has no pronunciation problems with only half a pair of lips

[-] Blackmist@feddit.uk 4 points 32 minutes ago

This might be the only time we'll see somebody complain that somebody is speaking too clearly in a Chris Nolan movie.

[-] ByteOnBikes@slrpnk.net 4 points 1 hour ago

I read this as "No Pronoun Problems" and was like, dayyum, Two Face got my vote. Hell yeah de-gender those bathrooms in the Two-Face Goon cave.

First time I saw the Jurassic park I thought no way would intelligent people just run around a huge and therefore dangerous Brachiosaurus or jump out of the car and run right to the ill Triceratops. That would be Darwin's award kind of madness.

Then I studied biology, got to know some zoologists and paleontologists, and yeah, this is exactly what would happen.
