Avatar: it's not you, it's me

Around hour 1, when we finally made it to the beach, I realized something. This was going to be a long ass movie.

Let me break down a scene for you.

The villain is supposed to be interesting right? A combination of both his past self, and a new reborn person. So when he finds his dead body, is he alone, or is he paling around with his buddies?

Do we see his face on full frame. Do we see his reaction, besides what a rushed comic panel would show?

No, we don't. We are starved of character development.

And you deserved more than a story about family sticking together. You deserved something that made you curious about who these people are. You just spent 3 hours with strangers. You know everything about what they did, but nothing about why they did it.

And when they don't let me meet the characters, I don't care when they threaten their lives. This isn't sports. I don't have a team to cheer for.

I had always heard Ferris Bueller as being the first but you're right about Airplane!. Ferris Bueller's was probably the first post-credits scene to break the fourth wall, which is why that one stands out.

Clearly not the first but also around that same era, "Amazon Women on the Moon" has an entire sketch (the one starring Carrie Fisher) embedded right smack in the middle of the credits.

Sometimes multiple times a day

Seriously underrated film.

And the pacing. It marched, trudged along. The actions scenes were great, but I swear it's like two kids playing a video game. One of them likes the peaceful parts and only plays those. The other one only plays the boss fights. And the kid who plays the peaceful parts is bad at it.

You need to use silence.

And space.

To control the sense of time. It makes it feel less like you're flipping through memes on your phone.

Oh wow.

Jesus Christ, this dipshit has been posting this self-indulgent jerkoff bullshit every day?

“too many people like a movie I don’t like and I don’t like it!”

Oh man, I hate when I'm incoherent. Maybe it'll be clearer tomorrow.

That's not very ''culturally relevant" of you

Hey man, you don't need to post an increasingly unhinged and incoherent rant about Avatar every day. You can turn off your computer and go outside. I promise you won't die from touching grass

Quite a lot of Disney movies have had some kind of fun thing in the credits - bloopers, a quick scene, a character saying goodbye to the audience, etc - over the years. Frozen has a scene with Marshmallow at the end, a handful of Pixar movies have bloopers, and of course people pointed out Pirates already.

As for not Disney, Planes, Trains, and Automobiles has one of my favorites!

Also there’s actually a Wikipedia page dedicated to movies with credits scenes or audio design. It’s not an exhaustive list as far as I’m aware but it may be a good place to look too. :)

Yeah this couldn't be a worse suggestion

Of course you can't ding it too hard. The radio drama died and now it's ghost haunts poorly written movies in the form of narration. Why get radio for free when you can pay for it at the movies?

But that's the question anyone who values their time would ask at hour 1: why didn't you just tell me that the sky people had chased you out? Show wazzer face crying. Done.

Why am I scared of, or invested in the villain? I don't know. I know of him. I know what he's done. But I don't see him as a person. He's like a robot. He fills the space that's left for him after the heros done posing.

Are you going to do this every day?

Not the first, but Austin Powers had some bangers after the credits and was way before Marvel

Yup, definitely proved his worth since Lost. I'd like to see him in more things like this.

I hate musicals, should I watch it?

I didn’t walk out but I remember my friends dragging me to see it - almost literally. We were hanging out with some friends in a different town, I didn’t drive and it was the late showing and they decided to go see the movie. I never heard of it, what they described sounded stupid and it was late and I just wanted to go home.

We roll up to this busted ass cinema, dirty and gross and people were literally smoking pot and drinking (loudly) in the theater. It was not a nice part of town. So the movie starts off like some normal movie. I was tired and half falling asleep and bored out of my mind until they get to the bar and the vampires. Before this I would have walked out, I just wanted to go home. However at this point I woke the fuck up and got into the movie. Biggest turn around of a movie I have ever experienced.

Oh man somebody just found RLM? Look forward to them mining the channel for more gold

Ted Striker doesn't enjoy sloppy steaks, he just has a drinking problem.

I think you are reading into the meat locker but a to much personally. She had a will to live constantly trying to find away out. She fought for her life against the woman see killed and looked for away to make a connection with the chef. The others did not they only cared about themselves even chef says to the others if they had actually tired a little they would have gotten away.

You think this is slicked back? This is PUSHED back.

Paw patrol can fund it all

Oh this wasn't aimed at you, but I saw many comments that seemed to imply it.
