Do you find yourself analysing movies a lot?

[Jeff7]

My thing with movies is that I often can't help but think about the actors (or voice actors) who are actually doing the scene, and how terribly silly some of these things are. Bluescreen video with CGI actors or creatures or environments added in later must be great, mainly in the "keep a straight face" department.

Also, years of MST3K has poisoned my mind in these ways. :awe:

[The Core] was absolutely horrible. We watched it in IGCSE Physics at the end of the year so that we could have a good time pointing out everything that was wrong with it. And there was a lot.

Good old unobtanium. Hell, even Star Trek writers came up with some different names. The TNG phasers ran on sarium krellide power cells. If it was the writers of The Core, Avatar, or any of the other movies where the writers said, "Screw this, we don't care anymore," they'd be powered by unobtainium unobtainiumide, which are able to produce a cascade release of unobtainions and unobtainionic radiation. Wooooo.

Incidentally, The Core proved that magma is quite exceptionally transparent.

With the 10's of millions they pay to actresses & actors, you'd think they could spend, say, $5k each to run the script past some people with half a brain.

Come on now, we can't cater to those elitist bastard with their intelligence and their brains and science and all that evil crap. It's anti-American, I tells ya!

I will analyze just about anything I watch if I'm actually paying attention to it, otherwise, there is no... interest.

Watching a show for instance on TV - you can either put your brain to idle mush mode, or you can pick apart the aspects or predict the next steps.
