TV/Movies Megathread

[Eddie Teach]

Isn't that implied by the words "locker room"? 

[lustindarkness]

Now You See Me, liked it, very cool.

[mongers]

Saw a QI episode with Brian Blessed. I had never seen him "as himself" before and I didn't know he was always on. Jesus Christ.

Yes, that's Brian Blessed*. 

He's almost a national treasure. 




* though no doubt it's not the real him, it's an act or at very least an exaggeration of his character.
He's said as much, that there is a quiet, contemplative Brian Blessed in private.

Isn't that implied by the words "locker room"? 

Well yeah. Sort of. I think this movie still has the locker room scene, but the girls don't get around to undressing fully.

[Admiral Yi]

Makes sense to me.  The natural audience for horror flicks is under 18.

[Sheilbh]

What's the original opening sequence?

I don't think there's a fair description yet. They've mainly focused on the pervy bit not the horror

It's a lovingly rendered, sexualised locker room. Then the camera focuses on Carrie who's having a tender shower. Until she realises she's menstruating - which she doesn't know about. So she runs out of the shower naked and screaming for help. The other girls are grossed out and in the end she's backed into a corner screaming while they throw towels at her shouting 'plug it up'.

I think there is a version of this in the remake. Inevitably the incident's filmed and spread to other students via social media.

[Admiral Yi]

I believe they were throwing tampons, not towels.

[Sheilbh]

They throw tampons then break into the towel machine and throw those too

[Ed Anger]

Hot

[Admiral Yi]

Towel machine?

Like a paper towel dispenser?  I don't remember that.

[Sheilbh]

Maybe sanitary towel dispenser? There's a thing on the wall which the girl who wears a baseball cap with glasses breaks into.

[Admiral Yi]

Yeah, pretty sure that was either a tampon dispenser or a maxipad dispenser.

We don't dispense bath towels out of a dispenser here in the States Shelf. 

[Sheilbh]

We don't dispense bath towels out of a dispenser here in the States Shelf. 

It makes sense in a locker room

[CountDeMoney]

Free refills and free extra towels,
Shiv.  Fuck your Euroweenie socialism.

Having no inside voice is kinda his schtick, I presume. Even his TvTropes entry is in ALL CAPS.
