Godfather 2: Frank Pentageli's betrayal doesnt quite make sense to me.
He is an old school mafioso, how could he decide to just turn rat?
Even if Micheal betrayed him, he is a full, albeit small, NY boss. He had mob options available to him. And who wouldnt want to take down the Corleones? Why go to the police?
And just seeing his brothers face brought back his honor?
Did you think of this as weak writing? Or am I missing some lore?
What would you do with the lobby area? It felt empty on visit.
About the disappointing MK sequel
So, to begin, I want to be clear that Mortal Kombat* movies should be fun - primarily. No one is watching them and expecting Citizen Kane or whatever,
So. The sequel feels off. The action is bad. Too many cuts (like taken meme level cuts), some of the fights have that weightless feel, others have the big strong enemy tosses the hero around instead of murdering them bit, What is consistent is that the camera flips angles so often, that the continuity is broken. Also slo-mo? I think we can do without it. I mean, It was outdated when films stopped parodying it. Also, the film lacks a unique and iconic action scene like the subzero attack on our world. That felt fresh as hell and looks great too. I was craving more of that - MK fighters in our world - but yknow thats a plot decision. Plus Shao Kahn was nerfed as well. Made no sense that the big bad was bested by almost everyone.
Anyway, personally I felt there was too much lore. The first one got by with little to no lore and the approach made sense - we've all played the games, we have a rough idea of who's who. we know the plot makes little sense and we're here for the action. MK has been releasing games regularly so even the kids ought to have a rough idea about what its about.
Even if they dont, the first movie took the core plot and stuffed a decent amount of action in it. This one seem to want to focus on personal relations, personal journey. idk. Thats just not what I'd watch mk movies for.
Hoping the sf movie is better.
How can I learn the windmill as a 40 y.o.?
Hi.
I want to be able to do a windmill - in no hurry, mind you. But if I could do windmills in say in a year's time, I'd love that.
I joined a beginner dance class that teaches Commercial dance. I dunno if thats a common term or not, but its a very music video style of dance. I'm going once a week and its been a month and its going well.
I'm play sports 4-5 times a week so while I'm not particularly athletic, I'm not completely unfit. But I'm definitely not flexible in the hips.
So yeah. How do you suggest I do this?
