    Knights Of Badassdom - (Dinklage - Glau) finnally being released, but with drama

    For me the real question mark is how, after winning the casting lottery, is this move not out? I mean you cast a not so well known guy in a little production, and by the time you are done, the guy becomes very well known and loved for another work of his... tcha-ching! I guess there are in no...

    The Wolverine

    That's what j00t was saying: Don't worry too much about what was said in a comic once, because fans tend to put much more thoughts into this stuff than the people writing it. EDIT: And the movie was not amazing by any stretch of the imagination, but it was better than I feared and there even...

    As every 20th Century Boys reader can tell you, a giant robot is not old school unless it has a remote control like Tetsujin #28 (aka Gigantor).

    The Killing Season 3

    Are we both talking about theoriginal danish showhere? My understanding is that what is usually referred to as as "season 1" for the danish show is the first 20 episodes that were broadcast in two block of 10.

    The Killing Season 3

    I just have a question related to the show: I just saw the first season of theoriginal danish showand thought it was entertaining enough (mainly because of the cast and the general tone), but that it was a bit of a shark jumping contest. Anyone saw the other two seasons? Do they tone down the...

    The actress is 32. There is a wiki though: Japan attack is 2016. Brother die in 2020 The movie takes place in 2025 Amusingly, the hero is supposedly born in 1998 and the japanese girl in 2003.... we'll have to assume her memory was altered by the trauma as she did not look 13 in...

    Only God Forgives- Ryan Gosling

    It does, it does. You have your martial art movies (aforementioned Tony Jaa stuff being the most known), your gangster movies (I linked one earlier in this thread I believe), there is a number of horror or horror/comedy movies (I never saw it, but The Eye by the Pang brothers made some waves...

    47 Ronin

    There is a number of fantasy movies set in china made in Hong-Kong, of the action, comedy and even romance type (or a mix of the above). Zu, Green Snake... but Japan? There is a somewhat recent movie based on Dororo (adaptation from a classic manga with a swordsman fighting demons - also a good...

    On the up side, there are not that many fantasy film set in medieval japan (you have a number of ghost stories, but it's more horror films than action movies).

    Retro and New Video Game Picture/Video Thread

    I quoted Umihara Kawase because it's probably the most technical platformer with the most depth in character control. But you understand pretty quick that it takes a lot of time to master. In a way reminiscent of Smilebit's Gunvalkyrie (you feel it must be awesome to control the character...

    I am afraid that award also goes to Castlevania IV and by a significant margin. Oddly, a guy named Taro Kudo did the music for it and Axelay as his only twovideogame music credits and they are two of the best scores invideogame history. You figure that out... And I'll not even entertain the...

    The Big Bad Console Thread - Sway your Station with an Xboner !

    This would be a good argument if it was a third party peripheral that did not sell well. But it's first party and it sold well and Microsoft pushed for support as did Sony with the EyeToy and the PS Eye and the PS Move. It is just a shitty interface at an ontological level (its very nature is...

    Retro and New Video Game Picture/Video Thread

    As far as I am concerned, Symphony of the Night single-handedly killed the Castlevania franchise. Just before it you had Castlevenia IV (or however you want to call the one on SNES/SFC) and Dracula X (or however you want to call the one on Super CD-Rom^2) two absolutely brilliantgamesfor totally...

    Human Origin - Pig raping Chimps ?

    Isn't there this saying that the pig is the best pet because a cat looks down on you, a dog looks up to you, but you see eye to eye with a pig? PS: That seems like a theory that is somewhat easy to test.

    I don't remember dying in either game because I ran out of healing... but again I played a templar in both. I also never dodged in Demon's Souls (the exception being that level-sucking boss... false king? That I fought by dodging and making him fly with a giant sword - I felt like I was gimping...

    1) Putting things in orbit around the earth is all fun and games when said things are very very very unlikely to cause significant damage if all fails. The bigger the asteroid, the bigger the risk, so I suspect 'too big' as far as risk is concerned is a lot smaller than what would be deemed...

    It was, but the question still stands. Understandably so, but the question still stands. Yeaaaaah... we kind of get that... but isn't that the most artificial, most strange, most bizarrely fetishistic way to link the traumatic event, the promise and the present together? Wasn't there twenty...

    I like the idea of lack of information (I was questing in EQ!), but I don't like its implementation here. I like how it makes the world mysterious and ominous, I like how figuring out a mystery and finding something hidden is rewarding, I like how it should encourage the cooperation between...

    Obviously over 50% of equipment load!

    These privileges exist to ensure some people can perform their function in society without being easily hindered by malevolent agents. A free press is a critical piece in the check and balance system that is a democracy, so there are legal privileges to ensure its existence.
