Also the fact that Ben, who glanced at the TV from across the room (& was at an angle from the screen) recognised Peter Weller 40 years on from a film in which most of his face is obscured is *wild* to me. We are on opposite ends of the facial recognition spectrum.

If you know what I'm talking about, we can be friends

My special skill is helping people to backtrack from this and get back on the thought train. Can't do it for myself though ✨

It's not that someone approved this. It's that several people thought this was a great idea, and everyone else just let it happen.

That's... Very specific 😅

So many times the hero will fall from a great height and I think "well that's a broken back" but no, they're fine

YES I often think this!!

Oh, another one! People removing objects from wounds. That big shard of glass in your chest, protagonist? Leave it be until you can get medical assistance, or bleed out.

Oh absolutely!! My mum (a former midwife) shares this pet peeve with you!!

Re bad technique - yes I feel the same seeing people "knitting" on TV, or very obviously miming on a musical instrument 😅

Oh come on
[astral energy crepitates]
you are, of course, joking

Also, this film is bunk. Getting real Valerian (city of a thousand planets) vibes - it looks nice, but there's not a single character whose wellbeing I'm invested in.
Space Nazis and primary colour humanoids with appendages glued on.

Nothing groundbreaking, but if I need to know this stuff, I should be able to know it without captions, right?
