Does this count? I think it was made for the game, wasn't it?

Might want to check The Wolf of Wall Street.

It's my understanding that the Gears of Wars games are good and that it is likely that this one will be good too, but.... what's up with the atrocious 3D models and animations for the flash back segments of this trailer? These things are often outsourced, but still... wtf?

A recent addition to the VG playlist:

I have some friends making a little game for the Gear VR and I tested it the other day. I don't have a point of comparison with the other headsets, but it was light, cordless, confortable and quality of the head tracking impressed me. For the game to run at enough FPS, it had to be pretty...

Cautiously pesimistic. What is there to add to this story? Even expanding the story that has already been told (like showing the many failed attempts at going past the farm house and the toll it takes on Cruise's character) would probably not work.

Where did I see that guy using another guy as surf board before? (EDIT: other than Jushin Thunder Liger of course!)

Let's just say that the huge majority of building don't fall down when being built or when being used, so for it to happen something exceptional must happen, which includes the exceptionally stupid and/or unlucky! You usually need both because you need a bad decision and then no one noticing it...

Not an expert on the subject, but I very recently read Why Buildings Stand Up and Why Buildings Fall Down, two books by Mario Salvadori a structural engineer. A number of things could have gone wrong. If I have to make a guess, I would say more than cutting corners or using material of a...

Isn't there tons of book stuff that was not showed or even mentioned in the serie and other that was changed making a "tv watchers only" thread still a good idea?

I am not very familiar with the old school BBC comedy sketch show The Two Ronnies, but, after Ronnie Barker a few years back, Ronnie Corbett just died. A good (if sad) occasion to repost one of the best and smartest sketch ever devised: Mastermind.

It took me a while to stop laughing:

Is the book sequel set 20 years after the original?

That Chronos game look ok, doesn't it? I hope it will get released in a non-VR version in a not so distant future.

I am with sukik. I am sad to hear about Malik's death, but I am also surprised to discover that he was basically the same age as my brother who was the one very much into hip-hop in the early '90s.

Just about all the ZAZ movies (Hot Shot, Naked Gun, Airplane, etc ) but.... dubbed in french. I first saw them as a child/teenager in their dubbed version, so the nostalgia effect only works when linked to the timing, wording and slightly stilted delivery of the french dub that is ingrained in...

Maybe the asian father is the one taking the picture?

If you show Mel Brooks movies to children, don't you have to spend longer than the movie explaining what the jokes are about? I mean The Producers seems like the start of a LONG conversation. Probably a good thing though.

The middle east thread is also the thread where non-european people are trying to explain european people how Europe is.

Fun fact: my late grandmother, when she was a child, saw a screening of the original Ben Hur. And I mean the 1925 silent film. Having the 2016 version be close to the book is strange when you consider this part from the wikipedia article about 1959 film: "The screenplay differed more from the...

Saw a classic of indian cinema today: Pyaasa by Guru Dutt (1957), a drama about a penniless poet struggling with love and recognition in a society he increasingly despises. In this particular song (indian cinema, so there are songs!), he describes a poor red light district, with the hook asking...

With the coarsening of all discussions on the board, it seems the true artful trollers only have a single way left to stand out: post reasonable, level headed and well thought out messages. Picasso: the first post-troll of the board.

Voted shitpost to help show the portion of the board users that will not or cannot vote.

You know how there are "switch" comedies where two characters that are very different switch places? Rich and poor, young and old, single and married? It sounds like this Ghostbuster is a meta gender-switch comedy. In that context, Ghostbuster is almost a pretext to do something else and that's...

I must say I am not a fan of the multiplication of side characters with random powers. It has a big potential to turn the show into Deux Ex Machina central.

Note that Charles Dance's part is played by Donald Sutherland in the zombie-less version directed by Joe Wright. Another actor that can make almost any movie tolerable!

Reading these posts I can guess what the anthem for the game is:

I have not seen the film so I can only provide you with a translation of his perception of the message: My understanding of it:

6 million views in 5 days so you might have seen/heard it:

Lithose: People had VCR before they got Tivo, but the point still has some merit. I don't remember taping a TV show episode. Astro: How is South Park a sitcom though? Even if we remove the notion that it should be done with multi camera in front of a live audience, a core element is the...

What was the nice message? I am asking because a friend of mine said it was well done and very funny, but that the message was revolting!

You could say that with Seinfeld, Friends, Married With Children, Dream On, Growing Pains the golden age of sitcoms is behind us. What do we have now? Big Bang Theory and How I met your Mother?

We have seen acting talents doing TV work, but also directing and writing talent. Though, when it comes to writing, it feels like, at some point in the last decade or so, writers became more interested by TV work than by movie work and as a result we have seen a lot more good writing in TV shows...

I would say it's a golden age for TV series. I am not sure that exactly means it is a golden age for television as a whole considering the golden age of TV News, depending on what metric you use, is probably not now. Same for the golden age of talk / variety / comedy shows. EDIT: I should add...

My first guess is that you can't tell easily how... cohesive the asteroid is. By that I mean that it's tough to tell if it will not lose some chunks because of gravitational forces, making the trajectory difficult to estimate. And then there is atmospheric entry and bets are off as to what...

Binged watched this show and had a tough time watching the whole thing. I have a number of beefs with the show, but the main one is that you take a very very good subject (big business, banking, cyber security, hacking, hacktivism), but you derail the whole thing into some rocambolesque story...

Flipping through TV channels I landed on a concert from this "bad on purpose" french electro band called Salut c'est cool (Hi it's cool) that reminded me of this thread. Lyrics of the song: Techno Always the same Boom boom in the ears Junkie music No regular message Nothing to say

As a foreword to this reply, I think it is important to note that at no point in these previous posts I talked about racism. I am merely trying to describe the situation, not the complex mechanisms that lead to the situation. About the ethnicity of mexicans: there is a number of ways to try...

This thread did not find its Royal just yet!

I am too lazy to relink it for you, but I think I already mentioned that mexicans of purely european descent are a small minority of mexicans. The fact they are an extremely visible minority is a socio-economico-cultural oddity that is probably more complicated than "old european money breed...
