Right, Road Warrior gave us Humungus.
And she almost looked like this too!
what the fuck is that abomination
And she almost looked like this too!
What the FUCK? Is that CGI? It looks monstrous.
Wow that looks really good. I didn't know that they made a live action version of Shadows over Innsmouth this recently.
What is that scene from? And why aren't they using a real baby...?
EDIT: I'm blind and obviously didn't see the text in the first picture. Twilight. I don't know what I expected.
My second question still remains, though...

Can't believe no one has said Xander Cage yet.
Also, does anyone remember what Arnold's character was named in End of Days? That movie where he fights Satan?
His name was Jericho Cain. Jericho Fucking Cain.

That's a fucking badass name.
That's a solid dumb name, but it's got nothing on The Lord Humungus - the Warrior of the Wasteland and the Ayatollah of Rock-and-Rollah.

I mean yeah it is but its so on the nose. Like if your parents name you JERICHO CAIN you are going to end up fighting the Devil at some point.

Mad Max universe is full of hilarious names. Lord Humongus. Scabrous Scrotus. Rictus Erectus. I bet there's a dude named Biggus Dickus out there somewhere.
The scene, im told, basically is seconds after the baby is born, and they needed the baby to emote, so they couldn't use a real one, what you're seeing there is a puppet, which came out so gross they edited a CGI baby on top of it for the actual final version.

What.
WHAT.
Is that how they believe a newborn looks like? Or let me guess, they are pulling some "vampire babies mature into toddlers in a matter of seconds" bullshit?
Any pictures of the CGI version?
AGGGHHH
And she almost looked like this too!
Holy shit, we need to send this thing back to hell.
Yes. She also grows to looks like a teenager in a few years, so that they can make the werewolf "uncle" who fell in love with her the second she was born because of wolf instincts or whatever and who used to be in love with her mother until like five minutes ago look less like a creeper but it doesn't matter because he still fell in love with her when she was a baby.
I wish I was joking.

Shout out to Castor Troy and Pollux Troy from Face/Off. Also Flipper Purify in Jungle Fever. Flipper Purify sounds like a Gundam character's name.

Well, i might be miss informed, you'd understand if i told you i didn't see this movie, right?
But the whole baby thing is really infamous, it's the same shit where a fully grown ass werewolf imprints into the baby so they're destined to be mates and shit, it's really stupid and gross.
I do not have pictures of the CGI one tho.
My God....
I mean, it looks less creepy than the animatronic doll but... Still looks creepy as all hell.

And yet the nickname of Nessie is what Bella freaked out on.

I'm kinda thinking that was the point. The kid brother mentions that he has the "name of a duck's dork," and that time was pretty lax as far as PC was concerned (cue the gong every time Gedde Watanabe's character's name is said).
Young adult stories tend to have stupid named characters
Funny thing, when that name was announced, I thought it was the most stupidest sounding shit ever, and now I don't mind it. At the time, though, I kinda wished he was named "Claud"(just like he was mistranslated in some of the magazines at the time). Still, I guess over time, it sounds less stupid the more you say it. It's probably more easier for that to happen because it's one syllable. Lightning, after all these years, still sounds stupid to me.
That, and being so literal with his name and having people go, "But it makes sense. He's named Cloud because of how cloudy is memories... yadda yadda", BS that any high school wannabe writer can pull out of their ass. "My character is named Enigma Nightsoul, he's mysterious and his soul is pretty dark"! That's plebe bullshit(and no doubt it ties to the young adult bit above, cause those kinds of writers are all OVER this sort of "character naming" bullshit like it's their gold standard).
Pathetic they had to emphasize that it was a "beautiful baby" rather than a baby, hence every attempt to convey it's unearthly beauty made it look like something that needs to die by fire!

Nobody saw The Number 23, but Carrey's character was Detective Fingerling.
To be fair, Lightning is just a nickname, her name is Claire.

I feel like I'm in backwards world. How are Castor and Pollux Troy not the best names ever?
John Matrix - amazing.
Han Solo, Luke Skywalker - also great names.
Best movie character name ever, though, is Van Damme in Hard Target - Chance Boudreaux.
"Why do they call you 'Chance'"?
"My momma took one..."

IIRC the "author" of the books didnt want a real Baby because this one is a perfect Baby and no kid in the universe could achieve such perfection in her mind.
Also yeah what others said about the creepy wolf guy
fixed.
