    On the sex scene where she's kneeling down and he's moaning and saying how good she is, does anyone else think that maybe he's just sticking it in her belly button? And if so, how deep is it? It reminded me of that Family Guy abstinence episode where the kids were sticking it in each other's ears so maybe a belly button isn't that weird for this movie.

    From my understanding of Bechdel's writings, the Bechdel test was itself a joke about how low the bar is for female representation in Hollywood films in the first place. Did I misread her book completely? I thought in its first version "Two women discussing something other than their appearance" and the second revised version, "something other than their appearance or a man" it was intended to illustrate the paltry and pathetic offerings for women, even in supposedly empowering films. Wasn't Aliens her first and only example? Or am I misremembering?

     

    Anyways, I think more blatantly offensive in this movie is something that was touched on in the podcast by Andrea or the other guest--why was the half Chinese guy obviously white? They didn't even do old-style Charlie Chan style yellowface. Talk about white-washing. What is it with movies in Hawaii and white washing? Isn't there one with Emma Stone?

     

    This movie makes no sense on any level, but I have to make a public service announcement. If anyone is tempted, don't listen to the vitamin guy's advice. You can most certainly eat too much vitamin C. Even in the amounts he suggests, taken in conjunction with all the other vitamins, you would most certainly get ill.

    The Emma Stone movie you're thinking of is Aloha.

    Overall a couple of things struck me watching this:

     

    1. The clearly could have hidden easily from these robots, they couldn't look down as evidenced by the "hiding" behind a bag of dog food on the bottom shelf of the pet store.

    - Sub-point: if you watch this movie in widescreen in the pet store it shows a box that appears to be a Cockatu starter kit but it's cut off so you only see Cock Start.

    2. Either they are all the worst shots in the world or the robots are bullet-proof to some degree based on the amount of ammo expended.

    3. What kind of name is Ferdie?

    4. These kids needed a crawling coach. Either they can't and get blown up by a robot or at the end they crawl super ass slow to build tension... and run time I assume, even though she appears capable of limping into the paint store/explosives factory.

    That's one thing I wanted to point out. The water the janitor was "cleaning" the floor with was disgusting.

    Like why even mop the floor with that? If he's lazy or doesn't care about his job--fine.. but in this case it'd be better to not mop at all. That disgusting water is probably going to make the floor look dirtier and look like he didn't mop. If he's going to be lazy with his job, be a smart-lazy at least--so it's less obvious you're slacking off.

     

    guys, this really bothered me..

    Did you notice the water from the bucket the robot spilled had marshmallows in it? I'm pretty sure he was mopping the floor with Hot Chocolate.

    So I'll be the nerd and breakdown the financial obligation the mechanics think they owe to the mall. It's important to note, that when these calculations were done, the only major damage the teens have done to the mall is to the elevator and a few storefront windows.

     

    Our female mechanic says they will be in hock to the mall for the next 85 years and will need to perform 2,900,432 tune ups.

     

    From my quick research, "a standard tune up can cost $50 to $200, while more complex tasks can range from $500 to $900." (https://autoservicec...om/tune-up-cost)

     

    So for this example, I'm going with the average of $200-$500 which is $350.

     

    In today's market, $350 x 2,900,432 comes to $1,015,150,850.00 (one billion, 15 million, 150 thousand, 850 dollars.)

     

    Taking that calculation and converting to what it would cost back in 1986, it would be $260,197,665.01 (260 million, 197 thousand, 665 dollars and 1 cent.)

     

    So I'll just leave it at that.

     

    Not only that but if you divide 2,900,432 tuneups by 85 years that means they're doing 34,123 tune ups per year or 93.5 tune ups each day if they worked 365 days a year. Now if you divide that by 2 you get 46.75 tune ups per person per day for the next 85 years...
