So, once upon a time, I was writing about that episode of Fresh Prince, where Cindy shows up on Carlton's doorstep with a baby she claims is his, calling him Carlton Junior. But Carlton and Cindy hadn't had sex, so obviously they were both well aware he was not the father; yet in front of all the family members, they continually talk about their "magical, magnificent sex". First off, that shit's just weird. Second, Carlton is preparing for college, so why would he drop his life's work and care for a baby that is not his, with a woman who cheated on him?
Shit, when you think about it, we don't know if that baby is Cindy's. It's mentioned that her parents came and got her, yet earlier on it was mentioned that they kicked her out of the house, wanting nothing to do with her or the baby. After all that, Carlton blows his cover and admits the whole thing to Will, so why the hell did he waste his time in the first place and cause so much unnecessary panic to his family? It's not like it was April Fools'; there was no prank war, so they were just being stupid. It just makes you look bad when you talk about your rigorous sex in front of your baby sister. Philip was a lawyer; you'd think he would have investigated a bit and asked Cindy if she needed help, but he was the first one to vote for kicking her out onto the street, baby and all.
And moving on; how about some Animorphs? First episode, first line. "My name is Jake. Half an hour ago I was just a regular kid." He meets Elfangor at night when it is, in Cassie's words, getting late; yet when he says this quote, it's a beautiful day in the neighborhood.
Not only did they loop a clip of Elfangor's ship landing, but in the next episode, they go back to retrieve the disk. Rachel says, "I found it. Chapman's practically standing on it." Remember, it fell on the ground; yet just seconds later, Jake has to dig it free.
In the same episode, Jake knows the tube is a dead end because he hid from the Hork Bajir in that tube the night before, but he beelines right to it when he's trying to lead Rachel away from the Controllers. And just where would Marco have gotten the sound effect for the ship that he plays on a stereo?
The episode The Reaction. "Another rule; you can't go from one morph to another." Yet, he never mentioned this. They could have only found out by trial and error; so it would not be a rule, it would just be an impossibility.
Okay, moving on to less cameras, more graphics. I want to address some mistakes I found in a Tinkerbell movie. It's the sequel, Secret Of The Wings. First off, they freeze things to protect them from, what do you know, a freeze. They call it a frost, which looks way too delicate and transparent to protect life from such a thick freeze. Plus, the queen decides to away with her rule, but the reason they made the rule does not just disappear. Crossing the border could still be harmful, even fatal. I know, I know - happily ever after. And I make my share of mistakes, but I don't have to worry about someone like myself pointing them out.
But it's not as bad as Married With Children, where the hur-ricane phases through your roof without damaging the walls, and then swirls around you as you dance and scream, trying to look like you're actually inside a tornado. Goddamn, what a stupid show. They did not take it seriously.
I have been wracking my brain for bloopers on Finding Nemo, but all I could come up with was an amusing theory: I'm pretty sure they decided on P. Sherman because, if you say it like one word, it sounds like fisherman.
It's hard for me to come up with more, since I'm listening to Married With right now. I can't be productive with that nonsense going on. I'd really like to play my game, but since my graphic card is dying, I can't do much more than watch YouTube videos and play Scrabble. I'm bored already. Think I'll play some music and try to fix up my work, like they should have done.

I don’t know anything about Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, Tinkerbell, or Married With Children, but I’m an Animorphs nut, so let’s see . . .
ReplyDeleteI can’t explain the continuity error of the daylight/nighttime, except that maybe it was darker in the construction site because they were surrounded by half-finished buildings and machinery. I really doubt this, though, because as I recall, it was pretty dark when they were running around looking for the dog.
The only explanations I can come up with for the kids’ having to dig the disk up is that not only did the Yeerks blow up Elfangor’s ship to rid Earth of the evidence of aliens, they were there covering up Hork-Bajir footprints and possibly buried the disk without seeing it. Unfortunately, it’s been a while since I really read the books or watched the show, so I can’t be sure the Yeerks destroyed the ship — Wikipedia says they did; I just skimmed the first book and couldn’t find proof. I don’t remember the tube incident, and I assumed the sound effects Marco used were just that — human-made, and only truly convincingly metallic when he stuck the boombox into a metal barrel (or whatever) to change the sound.
Technically, you can’t go from one morph straight to another without demorphing, so it is a “rule” — if by ‘he’ you mean Elfangor, the reason he didn’t mention it is that he didn’t have much time before the Yeerks chased him down; the fact that he managed to tell the kids so much is pretty impressive. Some things were only learned through trial and error, such as Cassie’s talent for morphing; the Animorphs couldn’t have known it was possible to be good at something like that, and yet on the Andalite homeworld, morph-dancing is an art form among the females.
I think I saw a bit of MwC, and hated it — I hate most old shows. However, I’ve been pestered to watch Star Wars (which I’m actually enjoying this time around), Indiana Jones (which I guess has some half-decent music, just because I enjoyed the game version and it brings back good old memories, but is otherwise very hard for me to sit through) . . . for me, the problem is the old graphics and ‘special effects’; some of it (especially some of the puppetry) is so horrible and fake-looking . . . however, I’ll admit that I’ve been spoiled by modern technology and am a young snob, lol
Cassie says it's "getting late", so I don't think it was because of the buildings. And if they saw the footprint, I don't know how they could overlook the disk.
DeleteI hate most old shows, too. I did manage to get through a 1933 movie, Invisible Man. Or maybe it was Invisible Woman from 1940.
lol, the oldest things I've seen (I think, and not counting historical footage) are The Day The Earth Stood Still and Metropolis :p
DeleteI've finished watching all the Star Wars movies now, and I think I'm a fan, lol, I didn't expect that :p
The newest thing I watched was a 2018 movie called The Princess Switch. It's one of those things that's not bad, but not great.
DeleteLorne loves Star Wars. Actually, so does Mom. It still surprises me.
lol, that surprises me, too - although, I did think I remembered her talking about it before :p
