In fact these films are coherent and one should not have doubted them

Sometimes it is easy to laugh at the slightest opportunity. Too quickly, for we can miss explanations that are there, under our noses.
Who loves well chatises as well. So we will take refuge behind this (very practical) expression to find an excuse and present this in a positive way. Because, yes, we have already criticized a film by accusing it of incoherence when it was simply us who ration a detail , a justification, a logical element. Better late than never, we can do our mea culpa here and now.
Star Wars: the awakening of strength
Leia leads the resistance, but against whom? Against what ? The Empire was destroyed so there is no longer any opponent to resist. Whatever ! The new senators of the republic look up at Leia … For they do not believe in the existence of the First Order, composed of the few survivors of the Empire . But this one will grow, and Leia has done well to set up a private military group.
Mom I missed the plane
In the beginning, we are told that a tree fell and damaged the phone lines of the house where Kevin found himself. And we see her mother galley to join her, from Paris. Normal. Then we see Kevin ordering pizzas, tranquillou. WTF? In fact, the tree could very well have made impossible the long distance links without doing the same on the local calls. The operator AT & T confirmed it, it was totally possible with the functioning of the time.
Batman VS Superman: The Dawn of Justice
Superman is supposed to be able to hear everything, to perceive everything. So why does not he use his super power to hear his mother, know where Lex Luthor hid it? It’s true brothel, it is con or it is con! In fact, if he had tried, he would have heard everything. All. So all the murmurs of the city, the complaints of everyone … So finally, it would be inaudible. And he would become mad, disturbed by all his voices. This is in any case the explanation of director Zack Snyder, who claimed to have shot a scene like this but have deleted it.
Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom
Okay it’s funny and it moves, but why did they leave the mine in the wagon anyway? ‘ Frankly, was not it simpler? Well, no, actually. If one looks carefully , when the released kid gets through the area caressed by the lava, he does it on a wooden board . However, it catches fire before the others can use it as well. Hence the roller coaster after, in the wagon!
pulp Fiction
We all remember the scene where Vincent tells that a bastard scratched his case. Voluntarily. Shocked, he does not understand that anyone can do that. We think this is a dialogue like that, just to fix a funny scene . Now, when you put the scenes back in chronological order, you understand that it was Butch who avenged himself, after their rather tense meeting at the bar.
Pacific Rim
What do they expect from God? Without dismay, if Mako and Raleigh had used the sword earlier, the problem would have been settled much more quickly and easily. But no, wait until the last moment … Stop: no, it’s not just to shit and the movie lasts longer . There is a reason given during the television news: the blood of the monster is toxic and will contaminate the water of the ocean. This is designated by Kaiju Blue. Who had not taken good and well all the time?

The thousand and one reasons to kill a character in series

sivertime — Mon, 27 Feb 2017 20:58:44 +0000

Sometimes we wonder why. Sometimes you do not understand. At other times, we’re downright pissed off. In any case, there is always an explanation. Examples.
We simple spectators are ignorant. And that rhymes with addiction. We love a series, we like a character in particular and we want to keep it with us as long as possible. Mourning sometimes proves difficult, especially when you do not understand why the character should die . Because we do not have all the cards in hand. Here is what goes on behind the scenes and explains everything.
Sara Lance / Black Canary in “The Arrow”
Sister of Laurel, also a former conquest of Oliver aka The Arrow, Sara was given for dead from the beginning. Since the accident of Oliver’s boat, which had also made him believe it disappeared forever. In short, years later, the Black Canary landed and greatly helped Oliver in his taf to clean the city. Until she takes an arrow and falls from a building, dying instantly . Too bad, the fans loved it. Then the screenwriters and producers have brought him back to life, to tear it off, and it’s gone. Then they created a series called “Legends of Tomorrow”, around her. Big change of plan.
Rita in “Dexter”
Dexter’s girlfriend and wife, Rita was the ray of light of Dexter. As well as all the spectators. Problem: Dexter continued (as always) his small outings and ended up falling on a tough, trinity. Their mano a mano game ended dramatically, the opponent killing Rita, in his bathtub, when Dexter had eliminated him and thought he had escaped. Wrong. A death that was not necessarily planned for this character but that the producers saw as the best possible end in season 5 . And for the history of Dexter in general.
Stringer Bell in “The Wire”
Slowly but surely, the character has grown considerably. At Avon Barksdale’s base deputy, he becomes important when he finds himself in jail for a while. Then his intelligence makes the difference. He becomes the boss, he maneuvers everything behind the scenes, expands his network, fricots with the politicians … Fans love him too much . And this is what motivated the producers to kill the character, with the agreement of the actor, Idris Elba. They did not want and could not let the message pass that the life of a drug trafficker is noble, enviable, a success. The life of a gangster is difficult, risky, and ends badly. Omar had the same treatment, for the same reasons.
Kate Todd in “NCIS”
Then there, it is clearly the actress who wanted to be dezangled. Sasha Alexander was not ready for the rhythm of work required for the shooting of a series, long, constant, taking. Despite her extraordinary performance as a secret service agent, she did not hold the blow physically and nervously. Exhausted, she asked the producers to find a solution , that her character leaves the plot for good. So at the end of Season 2, she took a bullet and went away.
Lexa in “The 100”
Basically, we find ourselves a century after an apocalypse erupted on earth and some survivors live in an ark. After a while, they realize that their resources will not suffice forever and that we must return to earth, see if there is any way to resume their life there. So they send 100 young prisoners, minors, in designated voluntary mode, knowing full well that it stinks the suicide mission. Among them, Clarke, who will meet one of the few survivors left on earth, now formed into tribes, Lexa. These two women will then lead a romance. The actress Alycia Debnam-Carey who played Lexa was recruited in 2015 in “Fear The Walking Dead” . Question timetable, it was no longer manageable. She would have missed at least half the third season. Then the producers took the lead: after a scene of love with Clarke (long awaited by the fans), Lexa dies taking a ball to save her lover. A sudden but stupid death that made the fans crazy, to the point that they threatened to kill the showrunner Jason Rothenberg. How did you react to their dead?

You’re all up there only when you can refuse crazy offers like Matt Damon

sivertime — Fri, 27 Jan 2017 19:12:30 +0000

How can we know that we have succeeded? How successful are we? That one is in a position of strength? Answer: Look at Matt Damon.
Unfortunately, today, everything is a matter of balance of power. If you have something that others seek, you negotiate, you refuse, you have the choice. And if you do not, you’re gonna make it. Completely. Regarding Matt Damon, it obviously incorporates the first category. When you see the film it has refused, for various reasons, you understand that the guy weighs .
Avatar
If the director claims to have always had Sam Worthington in mind for the lead role of Jake Sully, the producers were not so sure of his choice. And pushed him to aim “better”, that is to say better known than an Australian actor quasi anonymous. Randomly, Matt Damon. Which said he was too busy to turn Green Zone and was not going to do it . Serene the guy.
Brokeback Mountain
There, the American actor was really interested. But really, he did not feel it. Why ? Basically, he told Gus Van Sant that it was not good timing for him to play Ennis Del Mar. He had to chain a film about gays, and another cowboy. While playing live after a gay cowboy role … It was too much. Then he recognized that Heath Ledger had been exceptional, no disappointment or regret.
The Bourne Legacy
At the time, he believed the story had come to an end. Finally, not necessarily that of Jason Bourne, but rather his as Jason Bourne. “What motivates Jason Bourne, the source of his anxiety, which makes him interesting, was the fact that he did not have a memory, and at the end of the last one, he finds it. Knows who he is, where he’s going, there’s not much to play for me. ” In addition, he did not turn with another real ‘Paul Greengrass . And finally, the two lascars returned to business in 2016. Bah then, regrets?
Star Trek
Perhaps he hoped for a better role than George Kirk, James’ father. Because, for the blow, it cane from the opening scene, at the birth of James. In any case, JJ. Abrahams said he had refused “so elegant and understandable, with logical arguments” . In summary, Matt did not have time for this kind of stuff, in addition to True Grit and Invictus.
The Dark Knight
Still a question of timing. That’s the problem when you chained roles and films, in the end you’re busy as ever and must provide to death for stalling a twist . When he was contacted to perform Harvey Dent, aka double-faced in this Batman of Christopher Nolan, Matt Damon had to refuse. “Time-use problem, it happens to receive a role and not be able to do” , as he explained in an interview with MTV. Yeah, when you’re good and courted.
Dan White in “Milk,” Dieter Dengler in “Rescue Dawn,” Michael Jennings in “Paycheck” Daredevil … Who thinks Matt Damon is one of the best players?

Cannabis, you can not buy or smoke but you can watch series that talk about it

sivertime — Wed, 28 Dec 2016 19:55:55 +0000

The production, the distribution, the inherent risks, the people who live or take it: by looking at all these series, you go around the subject.
Until Benoît Hamon is elected President of the French Republic, cannabis remains illegal. You do not have the right to buy or trade, but that’s not good. By cons, you can watch the series the talking . At home, warm, with your long leaves (empty, suddenly) sold in all the tobacco, you know, to smoke looong rolled cigarettes …
Cannabis
Disseminated recently on Arte, it is that which put the subject on the carpet (or the carpet, if you prefer). At the moment, only the first season of six episodes was completed and broadcast in two evenings (Thursday, December 8 and 15). Apparently, there will be a catch-up session on Sunday, January 8th. The plot? The classic production of shit in Morocco, a move by Spain where traffickers clash and Paris distribution where guys dealent or smoke . On the menu, in a rather heavy and violent atmosphere, you find murder, confusion, betrayed women, strong women, lost youth, mayor fighting against traffic … Normally, nine episodes of 52 minutes are planned.
Weeds
The best known. Creation of Jenji Kohan, this series lasted eight seasons and marked the spectators in large part by its colorful characters that evolve in time. Nancy, Iceberg mother who becomes drug dealer, Silas and Shane both son who take opposite turns, Andy, the wanker who becomes responsible … A Agrestic and elsewhere, the Botwin family and his entourage have made us laugh as ever and sincerely moved . In any case, we see that dealer is not so easy. The struggles of influence, the blows of pressure, the relations to have: it is a profession.
High Maintenance
Difficult to make it simpler: the main character is called “The Guy”, or “The weed guy”. That’s how his clients talk about him anyway. Because every episode – there are six in the adaptation of the web series broadcast by HBO -, the focus is placed on a buying cannabis consumers thirty hipster furrowing the streets of New York by bike . You are in his deliveries at home and discovers the varieties of profiles, from the young tared to the couple of fifty, all more or less neurotic. And bah the daily of a deliveryman is not all pink, must want to do it.
Z Nation
Clearly the least centered on the weed among those cited here. The main theme is more about the survival of the human species in the face of an invasion of zombies. Classic, fashionable for a few years. Since 2014, this series depicts Murphy, a former queen who represents the future of our species as the sole carrier of the antidote. A simple prototype and test base, he was saved by biting the product and a team must therefore bring in the lab to multiply vaccines . And with the adventures, Murphy falls on a greenhouse of plantation. That he calls the “Z Weed”. And that he wants to protect by vegetal zombies. The fourth season, commissioned, will arrive in 2017.
Bates motel
A kind of prequel to the movie “American Psycho” where we find Norman Bates, young. Adolescent to say everything, to 17 pins. He just lost his father and his mother decided to leave Arizona for Oregon, where she bought an old abandoned motel and the mansion next door. Besides the weird relationship between them, the business of the producer side is discovered . A point of view rarely approached and interesting. Without this being the central theme of the series (currently 40 episodes over 4 seasons).
Humboldt: Life on America’s marijuana Frontier
The next arrival, if all goes well. Yet in production, this series wants to adapt the book of the same name, written by Emily Brady, John Malkovich and relies on the principal actor . Just that. Must be said that the production would be managed by Anonymous Content, also repsonsable of “True Detective” and “Mr. Robot”, and Sony Pictures. Means and level, therefore. We hope that it will really see the light. Wait and see . Who will perfect his culture, warm, at home?
