Cinema Sins

Oh yeah, for sure. It's a movie where nothing happens coz the entire plot got fixed behind the scenes.

I was just saying coz as much as Jeremy gives them shit for some of the coincidence and loose logics in their plan, 13 is so much worse for that.

The entire plan is "Let's make people win big, and flee the casino before they can lose their winnings to make the bad guy lose a ton of money"

But they never realize the people are fleeing with casino chips... The casino hasn't lost anything coz no one's cashed out. They'll need to come back to turn the chips into money (Which means they can play and lose it again). And the Casino knows it's been defrauded. It could just refuse to pay up.

Your plan is stupid movie.

(And lets not get into that in 11, the Bellagio has ground sensors so advanced it can detect groundhogs. But the even more advanced casino of 13, built by an even more paranoid owner, can't detect a giant drill going under Vegas)

Also, when the crew set off the EMP large enough to short out entire Las Vegas, I was like, "Wait, did just do that?"

Because holy shit, that's some full on terrorist attack right there.

Yes, think about how many people undoubtedly died as a direct result of that EMP attack.

I mean, it's a Hollywood EMP, so you have to assume it's one of those "all it does is turn off the power grid for a few seconds" rather than "fries all electronics."

Most peoples' experience with losing power is just akin to the power going out in a storm. So they assume an EMP is going to be like that. Power goes out, things go dark, other electronics still work, power comes on, no problemo. For most, the biggest hassle is resetting the VCR.

So, you know, only people in a hospital, probably. Yayyyyyyyy.

bugger even the backup generators would be fried too

damn it

Actually, electronics that are turned off or properly shielded stand a good chance of surviving an EMP.

Hope your pacemaker is turned off then!

Oh wait.

Thats also a myth. Turning off a pacemaker doesn't make you suffer a heart attack and instantly die. It just means the NEXT time you have a heart attack, you're in trouble.

Pacemakers don't prevent or treat myocardial infarctions (heart attacks). They are used to prevent and/or treat cardiac arrhythmias (except for biventricular pacemakers, which are used to treat congestive heart failure in certain cases).

Yarp. My cousin has one.for arrhythmia.

My point still stands, you don't just drop dead from a failed pacemaker.

No but you can drop unconscious.

So, unless you're going to imply that's fine, my point stands.

Cinemasins posted this special episode of their podcast to their main channel. With guest Leonard and Jessie Maltin

Is this because of Kingdom Hearts? XD

Incredibles 2 is out tomorow.

Is Ratatouille in KH 3?

Well, Remy is, at least. His restaurant appears in... Traverse Town, I think?

Twilight Town.

Remy's pretty much an item synthesis minigame, apparently.

I'm surprised Cinema Sins is being so dismissive about the rat catcher store, when it is a very real thing in Paris.

Woof. He did not enjoy that movie.

Which I find surprising because I found it waaaaaaaaaaay better than Despicable Me which he seems to tolerate (aside from the Minions). Really liked DM, one of my favorite Dream Works movies. Come to think of it, has he done Minions yet?

... also, did he really not understand the entire point of Titan/Tighten was that Hal was a dumbass and genuinely didn't understand the homophone? Like, I don't think that was a sin (5 sins, actually) for humor... Jeremy sounded genuinely confused.

I skipped the boat on this film. The teaser and trailer did not give me a good taste in my mouth, and it didn;t help that my intro to this film was through Amid Amidi, who did nothing but mock it to death. Now I find it better than I thought.
