    I loved the old Universal monster movies growing up, so despite thinking the whole shared universe thing is getting way overdone, I've been a little excited to see where this one goes - especially when you look at the cast they have lined up. Unfortunately, Dracula Untold didn't really inspire...

    Craig McGregor just replied on Rerolled. THIS IS GREAT

    That could be said about anyone here. When it comes down to it, few of us know each other well enough to know we won't screw up managing the forums at some point. I can understand people being more skeptical this time around, but I'm far more skeptical of some outsider with moneyed interests...

    Suicide Squad (2016)

    Shame, this movie actually looked like it could be a lot of fun, unlike DC's other recent offerings. Perhaps that's one of the benefits of Marvel going with directors that have little experience or no huge successes. These are people that have to fight for those jobs so they likely have some...

    Guess that explains how he was able to fuck McGregor so easily.

    Craig McGregor just replied on Rerolled. THIS IS GREAT

    To be honest, I don't think they cared anything about the content. They were buying it purely for the traffic. McGregor is basically saying they were (scammed into) buying it because they wanted to include it in their ad network. That's why I think anyone who believes nothing will change on...

    Yeah, Amazon Prime, starts August 19th.

    Craig McGregor just replied on Rerolled. THIS IS GREAT

    I like how McGregor says he's "willing to take a loss" on the forum. Dude is taking a loss on this deal whether he likes it or not because his dumbass couldn't be bothered to actually look at what he was buying. He, for some reason, just trusted Draegan at his word, and this is the result. He...

    Basically, they were never satisfied with the script: This was before Bryan Fuller got involved though.

    Draegan sold the site to MMORPG.com

    Perhaps, and perhaps enough of an argument could've been made to convince people thisisa good thing, but he made it look bad by going behind our backs and hiding it. Would we ever have found out about it if not for Tuco? Draegan broke our trust by not having the decency to explain the change...

    Draegan sold the site to MMORPG.com

    Yeah, I don't understand why Rerolled had to be part of the package. Like I said, the link between the forums and the websites is next to none. Why couldn't the forums have been broken off and sold separately? I doubt mmorpg.com really cares that much about these forums that not getting...

    Site Move Megathread?

    His occasional attempts to integrate Junkies Nation stuff or the premium membership always had me suspect him jumping in to run the forums was more motivated by a desire to become the next TenTonHammer than because he wanted to keep the community alive.  I've had a feeling for a while that he...

    Draegan sold the site to MMORPG.com

    That's largely why I'm open-minded about moving. I doubt the forums ended up in mmorpg.com's hands because they had an interest in our community. They just got it as part of a package deal to get Rerollz/Junkies. Despite Draegan's best efforts, the connection between this forum and his MMO...

    Draegan sold the site to MMORPG.com

    Stuff like this always makes me wary. You get reassurances that "nothing will change, business as usual", and perhaps that's true for a while, but the new guy didn't buy the site out of the goodness of his heart. Ultimately, there has to be some motivation of profitability otherwise why would...

    Star Trek: Discovery

    I imagine they'll have a lot more freedom in the Prime timeline as well. The movie universe (which is apparently called the Kelvin timeline now) has a lot more riding on it, so having it exist in that timeline would undoubtedly come with a lot of red tape as there'd be a lot of oversight to...

    Star Trek: Discovery

    I could be wrong, but Bryan Fuller doesn't strike me as the type to bethatsanctimonious. I wouldn't go so far as to say he doesn't have any of that streak within him. He's talked before about how he doesn't write characters with a gender, he just assigns it later - hence why so many characters...

    Star Trek: Discovery

    Most speculation I've read is that it's set somewhere post-Enterprise, pre-TNG. Considering they're going for a design from the 70s for the ship and wanting a tone more similar to the original, that seems to make the most sense. I do wonder how the Roddenberry style optimism will do this time...

    No, no. You're wrong. When men are fat, it's because they're lazy. It's gross, and they should work to have the body of Adonis to please women. When women are fat, it's because genetics and how dare you say that being fat is unhealthy! (Literally an argument I've heard).

    Elliot writing code in his journal reminded me of a story I heard about a hacker who was arrested. Terms of his release included being barred from using any electronic device (down to him not being able to use a remote control, requiring his wife to pick something out for him to watch on...

    Ghostbusters (2016)

    Fair point (I did forget about it), but it's still the exception to the rule. The Marvel tie-in and success of comic book movies likely combined with it being a comedy to push it well past the mark, not that I'm discounting the quality of the movie. I suppose Sony could've assumed the...

    Ghostbusters (2016)

    I'm guessing Sony was always willing to take a little bit of a loss on this movie. While $500 million obviously isn't unheard of for a movie, it is a particularly difficult climb for a non-family comedy. Over the past decade, the highest grossing PG-13 or R comedy I could find wasTedin 2012...

    Ghostbusters (2016)

    I don't think this will hurt Feig's career too much. There's enough for him to blame if this movie isn't a success. Releasing a big budget comedy was always a risk, even if Sony was counting on the Ghostbusters name being able to reduce it. Plus Feig has had enough successes - and comedic...

    So, I guess when the Underwoods are done screwing someone over, they go to Elliot's realm? Didn't Frank or someone also tell the whore joke on House of Cards?

    American Gods

    Unless they divert significantly from the book, the character Dane Cook plays really isn't major. Even if he is terrible, I don't think it'd have much impact on the show. But, I have no reason to question Bryan Fuller's casting choices at this point. I'm confused as to what Dane Cook's casting...

    Ghostbusters (2016)

    I've never heard of a studio releasing only specific reviewers from an embargo before. Sort of ridiculous if true, but then I also can't recall a movie where people have voiced such strong opinions of a movie months before release to where a studio could easily predict how a critic's opinion is...

    Preacher

    Not only that, but what "god" means to someone could be a very personal interpretation. People have used religion to justify some pretty horrific things, so it's not too much of a leap to say hecouldbe serving the same god Jesse is, but they haveverydifferent ideas about what that means.

    Marvel Universe stuff

    That's why I don't think Bucky or Falcon becoming Cap are great comparisons. In those cases, they were long-established characters that had enough history to be able to convincingly say they earned the title. Readers knew who they were, and at the very least, knew the change would make for...

    Orange Is the New Black

    Yeah, I think the ultimate goal this season is to portray corporate-owned prisons as corrupt and uncaring. The new COs, like the crappy food they're now being served, is an extension of that and meant to show how much worse the prison has become since MCC took over. The problem the writers...

    Marvel Universe stuff

    That's why I've never gotten how these sorts of things are lauded as being big, progressive moves. I get that minorities have a long history of being underrepresented in comic books, but this seems like the laziest way possible of addressing that. They're not really creating new characters...

    Preacher

    What AMC needs to do is not wait until right before the second season to put the first on Netflix like they typically do. They added the second season of Turn to Netflix on April 11th. The third season premiered on April 13th. For a show like this, they need to be able to depend on...

    Preacher

    I can see why this show would have a hard time catching on. It's definitely not the easiest premise to explain to people, and the advertising mostly made it look like a show about a clergyman who goes all Death Wish, which makes the show look far less original than it is. All of the...
