Movie Stuff You Only Now Just Realized - Part 2

And that both of them were wasted talent.

 

[The Navigator]

They 'teleport' through a phone line, and can obviously carry weapons with them, like wearing clothes, so they can enter the Matrix quite stealthily, if they had approached the building in a helicopter the mission would have been a mess, the agents would have seen the copter coming a mile off.

Except nothing they do before sealing the helicopter changes the conditions of their rescue--in fact, they make it worse by turning on the sprinkler system. Their whole escape plan still relies on the accuracy of a helicopter mounted chaingun to shoot around Morpheus while he makes a straight-line run away from three computer programs with guns, designed to kill free humans. The lobby fight is just (incredibly cool) action movie filler.

You can look at it several ways....the comedian/actor gets paranoid that they are just being asked to do it so the South Park guys can have a laugh at his expense, and talk about it at the pub, or on chatshows, or that it becomes a story that catches on 'South Park makes a chicken out of Seinfled.' or whatever.

Or, you can look at it like... the big star actually asked to come on the show, feeling they were such a big name they would be only too happy to accomadate him, so the South Park guys think 'Eh, if he really likes the show that much, he would be willing to play a chicken, let's see how far his fandom/sense of humour goes, or whether it's a bit of an ego trip for him to get in on our party.'

Clooney played a gay dog, so there is precedence to a big star coming in to do a daft role where their voice would be unrecognisable.
Even so, the fact Clooney was going to play a gay dog got press, so the Seinfeld chicken would have gotten some as well, probably moreso than if he were to do a usual type of guest appearance like the stars do on the Simpsons.

And if I recall correctly, Jennifer Aniston was the first celebrity guest who actually had a legitimate role (the "save the rain forest" lady).

Seeing the TV spots for The Grey makes me realize that if The Thing was going to be remade, then Liam goddamn Neeson should have been the lead.

 

[Travesty]

The Thing was just remade.

 

[HighFivingMF]

The Thing was just remade.

30 years ago.

 

[Blitzkrieg Bop]

The Thing was just remade.

I know.

 

[Whiskey Tango]

Lol!

 

[CapedCrusader14]

I know.

Haha

 

[Kahoot]

Alan Tudyk (Wash from Firefly, Steve The Pirate from Dodgeball, the guy on drugs from Death at a Funeral and Tucker from Tucker and Dale) plays the robot in I, Robot

Yeah he was in the motion capture suit just like Andy Serkis/Gollum but in iRobot they really didn't need the motion capture suit guy. Sonny either just stands around and does nothing bein motion captured or he jumps and bends his legs in ways no human ever could and so it clearly wasn't motion captured.

No, my point is, a helicopter could easily be intercepted as it approached the building, at least by entering the building and fighting their way in they at least have a chance.

edit: and what makes you think they could download a helicopter into the matrix anyway?

The one movie JEJ gets credit for as the voice of Darth Vader is the same movie where a different actor voices Darth Vader.

Why does Vader scream if Luke cut off a robot hand?

 

[Wolfwood]

Maybe it caused him to flashback to when his hand had been caught off? Or maybe the scream was more like "Aaaah ****, that's coming out of my pay."

 

[The Amazing Lee]

Cinematographer Roger Deakins (BSC) who has photographed the majority of the Coen brothers work as well as other great films, was visual consultant on how to train your Dragon.

 

[Thebumwhowalks]

Maybe the suit sent a shock to his physical side as it malfunctioned.

 

[Jordacar]

I'm not even going to guess how pain receptors in cyborg limbs are supposed to work.

 

[Whiskey Tango]

Why does Vader scream if Luke cut off a robot hand?

Drama. Would have lacked emotional punch if Vader was all like "Haha, robot hand!" *kicks Luke in balls*

 

[Blitzkrieg Bop]

Would have lacked emotional punch if Vader was all like "Haha, robot hand!" *kicks Luke in balls*

That would have been awesome.

 

[Travesty]

Why does Vader scream if Luke cut off a robot hand?

The robotic limbs can still feel pain. Remember when Luke was getting his new hand, and the robot was pricking his hand, and Luke responded to the sensation?

 

[Blitzkrieg Bop]

Hmmm.

EDIT: Now I remember that Luke got shot in his robot hand earlier in the movie and he felt the pain.

 

[SuperSoldier985]

I totally missed the fact that the kid from "Everything Must Go" with Will Ferrell is the son of the late Notorious B.I.G. and Faith Evans:

He was really good in it, too. I hope he gets more work eventually...

 

[Mrs. Sawyer]

He looks a lot like his father.
