How is Captain America not a Lab or a retriever?

People who value their own judgment of character over the testimonies of dozens of women.

It's always bullshit when a monster gets out of witnessing his downfall.

I watched that arch when I was a kid, so of my hazy memories, all I remember about Riley was that he was a cutter and that he was never happy with Buffy.

If you really think about it, aren't we all secretly an undercover CIA agent?

Congratulations to TMNT3 for refusing to show a human body (or a dummy) going into water, perhaps the simplest effect imaginable.

That clip is one of the few where I think the shark looks whatever-to-bad, but the power of the effect (one of the only firmly awesome things in the whole movie) is cool enough that it doesn't spoil it for me.

Though I disagree and think it's one of the most clever horror movies in the past decade, I'll say I admire your persistence and henceforth, I'll award The Mist, a movie I loved before 2 seconds ago, the honorary "Worst Movie Ever" award, and you, the Truthkeeper award. *Pins medal to the laptop screen*

It's one of those moments that's particularly glaring, because we don't really need to see any of it. We know he's off the plane. We know it crashes. It could have just been some model off in the distance splashing in the water, and we'd know through context that everyone inside died. We didn't need a moneyshot…

Surfin Snake Plisskin makes an appearance, but yes, the dive through Universal Studios with an appearance by Jaws might have made for an even better inclusion.

It's done after a montage of indiscriminate in-universe length (featuring their destroyed town and the child's dead mother, no less), after they run out of gas, and they've been nervously waiting around awhile. I think an adequate amount of time had passed before they started to consider all the options.

I think the movement of the creature actually holds up, its just its colors. In B&W, the problem is fixed.

I just like that Paul Giamatti got to play a slaver in that as a warm up to playing one in 12 Years a Slave.

I loved that weird Rollerball-esque lunacy.

Starship Troopers' effects have aged really, really well, and I put them alongside Jurassic Park for mixing practical and digital well. Not as well as JP, but at least in the same ballpark.

Weirdly enough, the one thing that bothers me about Toy Story 1 isn't the movements themselves, the typical problem with CGI, but the colors. It looks very washed out, for whatever reason.

Yeah. First shot of them is practical effects - guys in make-up, and from then on, shitty CGI.

I thought that was kind of a neat effect, and a justification (momentarily) of the concept). It's an effect they only could have done in CGI, pretty much.

We've found it. The most unloved movie ever.

It's at least a real stop-motion effect. Like, pull anything else out of the movie and it works, but it's a legitimate stop motion beast.
