Gobstoppers12 12/05/22 2:07:36 PM #1:	Real landmines explode the second you step on them, but in almost every movie and TV show about war, landmines don't blow up until the victim lifts their foot. You've all seen it, the "don't move, soldier" scene with some lanky new recruit sweating bullets and clenching his jaw while his squad tries to somehow dig around the landmine and disarm it. https://youtu.be/CgnDD7VEvng https://youtu.be/iiDk_fhFzsM https://youtu.be/Yn0Ajy4_Fmk Etc etc. Who started this? --- I write Naruto Fanfiction.

Octans 12/05/22 2:46:30 PM #5:	I know nothing about landmines, just popping in to say the acting in that first clip was terrible. What's it from? Baffles me to know people like that can find work and even star in/hold down a series. I'm sure the script doesn't help but a good actor can still bring a bad script to life. Idk. The clip stuck out as weird to me because some elements of the production seem much higher quality than what the acting would lead you to believe. I guess that's similar to trends in larger budget MCU Disney Wars shows/movies too. Acting is kinda dead as a profession. Edit: the 2nd clip is a perfect example of good/decent acting with a very bad script. --- Click here <cite>Octans posted [p:969935550] in Where did ...
