I was thinking like, what was the name of the mall that marty met doc at, and what did that name change to AFTER marty ruined the breeding pine tree farm place.
TWIN PINES MALL>>>>>>LONE PINES MALL.
Not everyone catches that, ya know. [/quote]
Okay, what was the name of the band that played at the dance?

ZZ top
I know you meant another one, but this is actually the right answer.
Whenever there’s a scene where the characters find themselves in a desolate location out in the wilds of nature, you’ll always hear either the loon sound effect, the eagle cry sound effect, or both.
It’s as if those are the only 2 birds existing in nature.

I can’t tell you how much I love that country-style music in that part of the movie. I have it on my iPod and when it comes on I play it about 6 times in a row.
My Own Trivia: My parents got married on November the 12th 1955![/quote]
I don’t believe it! It could mean that that point in time inherently contains some sort of cosmic significance, almost as if it were the temporal junction point of the entire space-time continuum. On the other hand, it could just be an amazing coincidence.[/quote]
Ha! Yeah I love that part! If you can believe this…my nickname from my dad from since I was a kid (before the Back to the Future movies came out) was Biff.
Whenever they have a car chase that calls for the lead actor to “borrow” a car from a random motorist, then post-car chase, the hero invariably returns the car (trashed, naturally) and says “here are your keys” or “thanks for the ride”. The owner just stands there, looking gobsmacked.
Then after a second or two, a piece of the car falls off (usually a door or fender) for added comic effect.
Tom Cruise managing to fit his vacation activities into his movies, especially the Mission Impossibles: rock climbing at the start of MI:2 and monkeying around at the top of the Burj Khalifa in Ghost Protocol.

Good one.
The next movie should be him getting a mission on the back of his toilet paper while taking a dump in a public restroom.
Then again, if it explodes, the whole room will go up.
When two people are pictured in a car when it suddenly gets slammed from the side, which is supposed to shock you. Already as old as a cat jumping out of a cupboard.

Reminds me of this one…
Scene of people in a car at night. No, they don’t have the interior lights on, but the lighting inside the car is terribly unrealistic. No dashboard lighting is THAT bright.

Also when they say the title of the movie in the movie. It’s almost always terrible.
I mean sure some movies you have to say it ( I mean like they need to say “Titanic” in Titanic) but in A View to a Kill they do it…with Grace Jones looking out of the dirigible’s window and saying “Whata view!” then Zorin says “…to a kill!”
[/quote]
I mentioned this here before when referring to some horror flick I can’t recall the title. In the very beginning, a little girl repeats the movie title over and over. It was enough to cheapen it for me to the point I turned off the tv and never saw more than the first couple of minutes of the film.

Very low quality vid, but family guy did a bit on that.

In the same vein, I hated that Robert Downey Jr. shoe-horned Wing Chun into Sherlok Homles. Sherlock Holmes did not do fucking Wing Chun.

There was a Victorian-era martial art called Bartitsu which was used by English gents and incorporated walking stick self-defense - probably an off shoot of Savate. That’s kind of the reasoning behind why they made Holmes a fighter. Plus, it wasn’t all on RDJ: Guy Ritchie is a high ranking Karate black belt.

The fact that Holmes used Bartitsu is what pisses me off about Downey doing the Chun. The striking in Bartitsu is derived from boxing. I was a fan of the old black and white Sherlock Holmes movies as a kid, and Holmes would regularly box it out with villans. I’m more forgiving of Downey’s sloppy arm bar in the first one than those goofy arm punches.

I dunno. I don’t want to read too much into Guy Ritchie’s Sherlock Holmes movies as they’re ostensibly a modern buddy movie wrapped in period clothing, but I think the implication is that Holmes’ eclectic fighting style is one way of showing how well-travelled he is. Like all that crap in his house.

The fact that they’re just a modern budy movie is what annoys me about them. They replaced all the deductive reasoning Holmes is famous for with kung fu. Not to mention they pushed back the period it was set in to have that tired and predictable WWI plot line.

In other words, you don’t like Ritchie’s take on Sherlock Holmes, period. You could’ve just said that instead of engaging me in a pointless, protracted back and forth where I bring up an aspect of the movies and you say that’s the fact that annoys you about 'em…
