[1367369464] DW - Journey to the Centre of the TARDIS

No.15152 View ViewReplyOriginalReport
Well, no. I think I'm actually finally done with reviewing Doctor Who.
I've given up on trying to make sense of a nonsensical series, and given up hope that it will somehow miraculously recover from random guest writers. All I can conclude, is that this series is dying from what I can only describe as a lack of love and care. ...or possibly the IQ of the whole british people has halved in the last five years, and it will do just fine for years to come. Maybe it's female viewers wanting more romance and less realism.
Whatever it is, I find that I sort of outgrew the series, got tired of exposing my senses to it, and now find that I have better things to do with my mondays. Maybe I will even give up on it completely, and stop watching it.

Good bye.

[1369290284] Perang Robot Tak Tadi ?

No.15203 View ViewReplyOriginalReport
PERANG ROBOT TAK TADI ?

LEBIH setahun yang lepas, kitorang pernah dedahkan mengenai filem berambisi besar Steven Spielberg dengan berkonsepkan robot dan kehancuran dunia iaitu Robopocalypse. Tak ada update yang kilorang dapat lepas tu, dan kalau korang masih selia hingga saat ini menantikan filem itu keluar tahun depan, ok, berita tak berapa best untuk korang. Filem itu takkan keluar, sekurangnya bukan tahun depan. Filem yang sepatutnya menjadi projek terbaru Spielberg selepas Lincoln yang baru mula ditayangkan, kini terpaksa ditangguhkan dek rombakan skrip dan urusan bajet. Anne Hathaway dan Chris Hemsworth (Catwoman dan Thor) yang sebelum ini diikat sebagai bintang projek itu, kini bebas menggejar projek lain. Sementara tak ada siapa tahu berapa lama penangguhan dibuat, boleh jadi dua muka tadi takkan ada dalam filem ini selepas Spielberg bersedia membawa projek ini kembali ke landasan nanti.

I can't think of what I could watch. I'd prefer something darker than usual but not like a horror movie. Pretty good action to it would be nice. And it would be best if it was on Netflix.

[1367845225] Wreck it Ralph- Plot holes

No.15161 View ViewReplyOriginalReport
If Felix could fix anything that he hit with his hammer [Insert penis joke here], then why didn't he just fix Vanellope?

This confused me too - but it appears "glitching"/teleporting is actually Vanellope's special ability/boost power or whatever. At the very end when Ralph sees the Sugar Rush game through the arcade machine window, you see Vanellope "glitching," but, it happens because the player presses the big button on the steering wheel, and as soon as it happens one of the "power up boxes" disappears from the top of the screen.

GIF: http://imgur.com/zNN9kz1

So actually Vanellope's powerup ability is a glitch/transportation thing. The story about her being a glitch was made up by the King Candy, and then by modifying her code he effectively made her a real glitch (thus she was unable to leave the game). However when the game reset, the code was repaired and she could leave the game, but her glitching ability remained since that is apparently her "thing" - like Toad/Toadette with the golden mushroom powerup in MK:DD.

However, this wasn't clearly explained in the movie. But I'm pretty sure that's what it's supposed to be. It doesn't help that Ralph still refers to it as "glitching" at the very end of the movie though.
_____________________________________________________________
How was Ralph able to circumvent the security to a game to steal the "Jew-Gold" in a place where gun-control doesn't exist? Is this evidence that the NRA is full of incompetent morons?
If candy-stripes have a rule-set, does that mean that they are part of the game even though this game has no platforming because the theme is racing? Can you race without being a racist?
Why does Felix enjoy getting beat-up by younger women who are taller than him while covered in mud? Is this his fetish?
Why is "Turbo-man" not being played by Arnold Shwartznegger?
If every video game is a stage, then why does Ralph feel alienated in the first place?
how about the fact that a power strip with the load of ~20 arcade machines hasn't flipped a breaker, or that there hasn't been a power outage there since 1984. from what they say in the movie about an unplugging, i can't see a power failure being any better.
If the beer based video game is in the center of the universe next to the power-strip, then what's the name of the game where the train based power-strip exists? How are these characters of arcade machines that no longer exist in the arcade exist at all?
Does this mean that the government is spying on our data including but not limited to arcade machines and our high scores? Is this information used to recruit young children?
Does Bowser suffer from Bulimia?
Does Q-bert suffer from Tourettes or is it a legitimate language?
Why do the characters need to eat if they are incapable of death?
Why are the FPS characters traumatized?
Are the villainous insects in the FPS game a actual virus capable of breaking every arcade machine in the network?

[1369129663] Doctor Who - The Name of The Doctor

No.15192 View ViewReplyOriginalReport
Seeing as this is a Moffat episode, that might actually be worth watching, I think I'm going to do one last review of Doctor Who.

Fans seem to be going into this episode, thinking the oh-so-foreshadowed Name of The Doctor is going to be revealed in the episode called The Name of The Doctor. As I've seen the other finales, and as I'm not a deluded fool, I knew they wouldn't. I mean, let's say his name was "John". Then what? Is uttering the name "John" alone going to somehow "make silence fall" and all that other shit? There's simply no name so awesome enough that even Doctor Who fans would believe it would be worth all this hype over. There's "God" and "The Devil", but that would just piss fans off for other reasons. We don't hear the name at all. Nobody does. Rivers just whispers it off-camera. The end.

With that anti-climax out of the way, this episode was nothing more than drama. The plot was that The Great Intelligence was to enter the time-line and fuck things up, and then Clara fixes things again, but apart from that, there's no sense to be had from start to finish. There's ass-pulls, there's convenience, there's romantic words, there's strings and tears, but if you start to think about how ANY of it would make sense, the episode will just crumble to dust. "Hold on to this leaf, Clara! It's symbolism will SAVE you!" "Oh noes, he murders women, so we can't possibly spare his life, but our companion is just a hilarious dofus who just kills people indiscriminately whereever he goes, so he's alright."

I'm not going to pick apart this episode for you stupidity for stupidity, because that would take all fricking day. This has turned into Pro Wrestling for girls. Thanks for turning a masculine series into a 100% feminine one, Moffat. You've managed to completely alienate the entire fricking fanbase.

SHERMAN'S LAGOON By Jim Toomey


Purple fish : "IS ANYBODY GOING TO BITE THAT LURE?"

Sherman : "NO, WHY WOULD WE WANT TO DO THAT?"

Purple fish : "JUST PICTURE YOURSELF ON THE END OF THAT LINE, AN EPIC CONFLICT BETWEEN FISH AND MAN.

CUT TO THE FISHERMAN IN THE BOAT... THE ROD BENDS, THE REEL SCREAMS...

MEANWHILE, UNDERWATER, I THRASH AND I STRUGGLE, BUT IT'S FUTILE. I FINALLY SURRENDER...

HE HAULS ME INTO THE BOAT; WE LOOK AT EACH OTHER, THE HUNTER AND THE HUNTED; THEN HE THROWS ME BACK IN THE WATER."

The purple fish bite the fish bait and went up the water.

Sherman : "THEY PUT HIM IN A COOLER."

Ernest : "HE WATCHES TOO MANY FISHING SHOWS."

[1280978417] Inception Question

No.8802 View ViewReplyOriginalReport
So, when I was watching the movie, fantastic as it was, I noticed a few holes:

Why, if there's no gravity in the hotel because of the free fall in the van, does the snow fortress not have the same effect?

Does Cob. Actually spin the tip in Youduf's basement? I missed it.

And doe anyone have definitive evidence as to whether it stiopped spinning or not?
