Re: How Come Joker Isn't Shot On the Toilet

I'm noticing people like big drama shows with loooooooooooooooong story arcs and so this comes up fairly frequently.  You have the totally menacing villain being a jerk to the whole world, and then, going home and having a nap.

WTF?

I know that his position in the show makes him invulnerable, but, shouldn't it be written to excuse that? 

At least in vampire movies its like "you can only kill him between 4:30 and 6:00pm after you shoot his whole damned army, with a stake whittled from the left leg of a rocking chair by a virgin. No that won't work...oh, your sister did it? Sorry dude".

This just some guy, who's a jerk.

/rant off

Next week: How come all the homemade switches in SAW work flawlessly, and if they didnt wouldn't that be funny as hell.  "Hey. Hey yeah this is Jim from HomeShield. Yeah, what you got here is an incompatible hookup...well it does say that on the manual, but you got four people here and this would only kill 2...well, I got a better rig back at the shop I can swap out but that's gonna be a couple days...ok...you're coming then....hey this guy gots to talk to you...says Let Me Go...ok...right...ok when you get here."

The core joke of Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is that of course no civilization would develop personal computers with instant remote database recovery, and then waste this technology to find good drinks.
Steve Jobs has ruined this joke.

Because superhero stories aren't good and have to keep making money (that's just in answer to the Joker bit)?

Re: How Come Joker Isn't Shot On the Toilet

You really have to ask yourself, how come the guy with the cancer, who can't barely stand, coughing fits, and blood, made it to the hardware store without keeling over?

The absurd thing about some of these movies...real life people use the ideas in real life.  Swordfish?  I got it, lets build a bomb, hook them up to a bunch of hostages, and if we dont' get what we want...we'll blow up the hostages...

...their going to blow up a hostage that has a bomb, near the hostage TAKER.... hmmmmm....

Your not allowed to overthink these situations during a movie...after all, you can do anything you want plot wise in a movie that makes no sense.

Take undead zombies.  How do they detect the living again?  Sound?  Oh geeze, all those MOANING zombies aren't attacking each other, but they'll attack a NON-Moaning scared person.

Zombies go after movement....oh wait nooooooo, zombies shuffle around, so they would attack each other....

I got it, zombies can detect heartbeats of the living....oh wait...that's VAMPIRES....

Zombies.  They only attack the living.  But never other undead...why is that?  Night of the Living dead...they went after the living.  Shaun of the Dead...again, they only went after the living.  That stupid ass show on AMC...The Walking Dead....only attack the living.

Zombies have L-Ray vision.  The Ability to see the LIVING!

And your worried about a few little switches, and wires, and gizmo's that always seem to work in order to kill people.  Saw is pretty stupid.  The makers of Zombie movies, more so.

=^o.o^= When I'm cute I can be cute.  And when I'm mean, I can be very very mean.  I'm a cat.  Expect me to be fickle.

Re: How Come Joker Isn't Shot On the Toilet

spoilers








in Shaun of the Dead they pretend to be dead at one point and the zombies don't notice them

in The Walking Dead they rub themselves with zombie guts and again the zombies don't notice them

Re: How Come Joker Isn't Shot On the Toilet

So what your saying is zombies don't go after slow moving idiots, and that you need to rub Zombie Old Spice all over you, because zombies have a sense of smell?

Nope.  I can't say that makes much lick of sense, but then again what do you get from producers more interested in frights than actual zombie sense.
