    The Netflix Thread

    Atari is a bigger topic. But, otherwise the question is on Japan's dominance is in arcades, gambling, Yakuza. There was an easier transition into the arcade system, and more $$. Nintendo, Taito, Namco, Sega, etc. For nintendo, Miyamoto was the game designer for all their arcade games, and...

    Project Power (2020)

    präˌjekt power. As in, class project. yeah, good fx from time to time. especially the ice and fire FX. Rest was pretty dumb and lame. not remotely as good as Push. Villains are non-existent. absolutely no good payoff in the end. Book learning is for dummys. rapping and drugs is the...

    Any hope for this painting?

    oh man. I got to this thread late.. you should have pulled out at this stage.. There is going to be some back and forth here. 1. should have had a contract. even relatively small values, should have had a contract set up stating possible alternatives. 2. should have researched more.. His...

    The Twilight Saga: New Moon (2009)

    Yeah, the whole series is actually kindof amazing to watch. and well worth it. They all fit well into the unintentionally hilarious category. some are more boring then others, but most will keep you entertained how each moment is more hilarious then the last. Massive budget. So Much money...

    The Umbrella Academy

    Claire gets mentioned at the VERY end like twice. "theres a chance I can get back to Claire? ok. Ill be there" but gets attacked. And then at the VERY end. zomg now Im back, Im going to find Claire asap. then says nah, lets have a drink first.

    The Umbrella Academy

    yes, thats sort of the joke. Power levels are inverse of their numbers. Although, there is obviously some leeway, in the sense, time travel is obviously the strongest. or Rumors reality warping is obviously much more powerful in usefulness for the most part, so, some of it is intensity...

    The Umbrella Academy

    Lesbian homewrecker is rough indeed. I wonder if the writers thought this was a good idea, or if Page forced them to. its amazing how every actor/actress is also acting ciricles around her, including the kids as noted.

    The Umbrella Academy

    thats basically the comic version of their powers. only Vanya not needing an instrument for Telekinesis. Just starting this, but its a huge departure from the comic plot at this point.

    Aquaman (2018)

    got to this. Pretty. decent sound design... weak plot, weak direction and pacing. First off, Mera is wasted badly. She just shows up and is on board with Arthur for no reason. This totally undermines her character. They absolutely should have spent time with exile, Xebel, and the...

    Starship Troopers (reboot)

    I think its due to being so campy. Camp=droll food for the masses. high art must be boring and pretentious! Audiences loved Starship troopers. hell, it got 3 made for tv sequels, and a cartoon. I can also say, back in 1990's, I took a film class in college, and the professor spent a day...

    The Tomorrow War (2021)

    hate every bit of it. Shitty cgi/makeup. Terrible acting. Nonsensical time travel. shitty pretentious dickbag writer/director making fun of the fact his time travel makes no fucking sense to the camera. stupid premise.

    The Tomorrow War (2021)

    some exec must have had a bet with some other exec on if they could make a movie with an even stupider use of Time travel than Looper.

    well see how the show goes. Courtney is in her idyllic, but stupid phase. having her transition into a capable team leader, wonder how the actress will do, as well as the writing for it.

    The circle. amazon prime. 7/10 maybe? its a bit interesting to visit this now in 2020. can check the thread on this back in 2017. not much talked about there. mostly "looks like a black mirror episode" and, they weren't wrong. Also Karen Gillan acts circles around Hermione. (this was the...

    Beyond the Law (2019)

    a bunch of clips with the actors all alone on set, talking to the camera. lol. I bet 50% of the lines are ADR to the backs of "their" heads, or long shots of other people doing things.

    Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark (2019)

    Got to this. it was just ok. 7 or 8/10. not as good as Paranorman. Set in 1968 for some reason. While the 20's-70's is great for spooky stories, this uses it to add some weird Vietnam subplot. adds unneeded "racism" to the plot. hey, hey. you are telling a ghost story to kids and...

    well, I feel like this post requires a history fyi. Solomon Kane was a pulp magazine character, by Robert E. Howard. created in 1928. A Puritan man, travelling the world fighting evil. the origin character for Witchfinders, for Warhammer, Vampire hunter d, etc... Weird west, Secret world...

    I tried to give this another shot. I bailed out with s1. started back up with s1ep 11. the xmas episode. And was so furious by the end, I said fuck it, and gave up trying the rest. The writers are just so shit, and can't keep their premise straight. They are witches. they are evil...

    Edge of Tomorrow (2014)

    Watched it again. And I just can't see how Rita getting it back can work. Its set pretty firmly, they need to get the blood on/in them. when would have that have happened? yes, we in theory are seeing this from the out of loop point of view. so we would have not seen it. But alot...

    is this based on Mark Millars MPH? Edit: don't see any mention of it. the idea of super powers in a drug/pill isn't exactly new.

    I've been trying for 3 days to see it. finally tonight, but no way im getting a photo like that. pretty rural area, but quite a bit of local light pollution. street lights or trees.

    Edge of Tomorrow (2014)

    got to watch it again to see if that theory is true... been too long since I watched it. or read the manga. The manga tainted my viewing anyway. Also, would not call the manga better. just differant.

    Kingdom of Amalur: Re-Reckoning remaster releasing soon

    it was a bit of both. 1.2m back in 2012 was very good. But, yes there was some post iirc, where they stated the EXPECTED something insane like 9m or more. Which was d3 numbers, which was a massive outlier itself. and THIS game was a new entry, from a "new studio", and no real buzz.

    yeah. A host would do wonders for this. also, first guy obviously committed suicide. He jumped from the smokestacks. Some baffling stupid things said. like, seemingly never even considering, climbing the stack to jump. or, "he left suddenly! it wasn't suicide!", while also taking the...

    yeah, I dont see the comparisons people are making. or the absurd "she seems so sad". Everything out of her mouth is a massive arrogant, "I know better then you, and im better then you." The closest comparisons I can think of would be like Ed Norton or Quentin Tarrintino.. who, are...
