  1. Saw Battle Angel Alita. Decent live action anime. From reading Wikipedia I get the impression they condensed a lot. The previews showed Godzilla-can't wait, and apparently they are remaking dirty rotten scoundrels with Anne Hathaway and Rebel Wilson, though it is called something different. Also a remake of pet cemetery.
  2. Saw preview today when saw battle angel alita. Might be first movie I have truly considered seeing in imax. Godzilla vs Ghidorah in giant size.
  3. I think he means the Gelflings from Dark Crystal.
  4. Technically, still married too, since neither died and no annulment was made. Course, I have not watched last season at all as I read the books and got seriously annoyed that GRRM apparently will only finish the series on tv.
  5. I almost feel like people should put the show they get these quotes from, but that might be cheating, but I spend a lot of time copy and pasting to find out what show it is (maybe 25%, unlike the movie one, where it might be 5%)
  6. What Starlord said. I do same thing except during tax season as no real days off. I tend to go to the noon to 1:30 shows at a small town theater. most crowded I have seen it is maybe half full and tends to be older audiences not younger, even during summer.
  7. Shouldn't this be in the creepy pics or the horror ones. I mean, all that ruined bacon.
  8. That is one of the things I have enjoyed in most the movies, that their choreographers have thought about how they can support each other. Even Winter Soldier with Cap and Sam had some stuff, not to mention watching Bucky and Cap defeat the death squad in Civil War.
  9. I think would be interesting if you had Flash or Diana asking Afleck - how did you get started doing this and him telling the tale like a year one, with a younger version of him during it. gives some continuity and lets them transition to new actor. Having said that, them getting away from the Frank MIller stuff isnt a bad idea. I really liked his stuff, the returns and year one, but WB gets to fascinated with his dark morale versions of things.
  10. wait, the deposed aristocracy are a bunch of high school singing club? (yes, I know what you meant, but autofills make me laugh, one of the best parts of Ralph Wrecks the Internet is the over aggressive auto fill).
  11. Wait, Godzilla's epidermis is made of poop? well, now we know Kong stands a chance cause apes love to throw $h!t around.
  12. I would also say that, and maybe this goes with the impatience, that WB never gave Johns the power Feige has enjoyed once Iron Man came out and was successful. As a matter of fact, they seemed to hand the reins over to Snyder instead. They didnt seem to learn that Feige may have been the big in charge, but he didn't direct/write the movies, but seemed to for the most part let the talent do what they do and made changes only for "continuity" for his plan rather then say, NO, DO IT MY WAY most of the time.
  13. I wonder, with the success of Into the Spiderverse and the way DC tries to follow the Marvel Movies if that won't lead to a Jaime Reyes Blue Beetle movie, animated or otherwise.
  14. Yeah, he is one of the few I would look at a comic because he was involved. Also, did George say how the rest of him was to work with, or only discussed things with him when they ate? (sorry, couldn't resist)
  15. Wait, isn't that basically what Marvel did to Speedball following Civil War? Including the S&M suit.
  16. I just finished a series on audible (the reader is fantastic) by Dean F. Wilson called the Coilhunter Chronicles. Basically a western (Nox, the main character reminds me of Rooster Cogburn) set in a semi post apocalyptic world. I enjoyed it a lot and recommend it. I am trying Wilson's Iron War books set in the same world now.
  17. PKD may be one of the few that there has not been a faithful translation, though I would say the spirit was kept, and I enjoyed both the movies and the short stories they were based on (Total Recall (first one, not remake), Paycheck, Blade Runner, Minority Report, Scanner Darkly, Screamers, Adjustment Bureau). Its kind of a unique situation.
  18. One thing I noticed that I thought was a nice touch. Why does Arthur have all these tattoos? Well, when you saw his father, he had the exact same scale pattern sticking out on the part of his arm you could see, so Arthur probably got it because his dad had them.
  19. Watched the most recent NJPW event from January. They showed 3 matches (Cody vs Juice Robinson for US Championship(iirc), Jericho vs Naito for intercontinental championship and Omega vs Tanahashi for Heavyweight Championship). The matches were good, but it became obvious by nights end that they were setup to dump the titles held by those joining All Elite Wrestling (which could be a really good federation, I just hated seeing NJPW use a MAJOR event to do this) to NJPW wrestlers, so Juice, Naito and Tanahashi all won. The one I was probably most disappointed with result was the last one. I fully expected a full circle of Okada regaining the belt with a new finisher and personally feel, as good as Tanahashi is, his time has passed and they were doing this whole storyline of him disliking foreigners, which is really unlike the character he has been. I assume sometime soon, he will lose to Okada. Also, started watching Titan Games with the Rock. Is fun, kind of the anti American Ninja Warrior, more about strength and endurance then, for lack of a better term, mountain climbing hand strength. And Rock is great about making fun of himself, which works and the 2 normal announcers aren't overly annoying.
  20. I actually liked both Hitman movies that have been made, but then Olga Kurylenko is a crush of mine and I like Oliphant (still wish they had done more with his Phantom) so the first might be because of that.
  21. Lets be honest, DC was on the wrong track as soon as Clark let his dad die instead of saying screw the consequences and saving him. At least in most histories of dupes, it's a heart attack that takes dad and part of his character is, I couldn't save him, but I will save everyone I can. Granted that was Snyder trying to change who Clark was in canon, but sheesh. Comparing that to Spidey letting the crook go, I like to think if that crook had been putting someone in immediate danger, he would have nabbed him. Snyder's superman apparently wouldn't have if as a teen it would have given him away.
  22. Yes, and they even discuss it later in the movie and he says he made an enemy and regrets his decision. And when he and Mera talk about it, you can see how much it bothers him that he would make that decision. Not something you see in the other movies as much, though Superman obviously anguishes over having to kill Zod.
