Hello I'm Michael Myers. I have enormous emotional problems and I'm gonna take them out on you.
Hello I'm Michael Myers. I have enormous emotional problems and I'm gonna take them out on you.
Hello guys. I'm Ed. I am really upset, cause my next door neighbor Ash took my chainsaw.
Hello, I'm Mr. Head. You can call me Pin. I like to tear people's souls apart.
I'm out of touch, I get that, but I really hate today's pop "music" scene. It's like everyone is just trying to out weird each other. The music all sounds like an epileptic playing a synthesizer, the lyrics are just a bunch nonsensical crap sung badly with auto tune and the wardrobe makes everyone look like junkie prostitute space clowns from the 50's. Now get off my lawn, you damned hoodlums!
Music has sadly become a disposable industry. You won't see the artist staying power that most of us grew up with.
You're not out of touch, you're normal.. Pop music is at its absolute worst and almost every single is a mix from a prior song or beat.... And don't even get me started on lyrics nowadays, they literally mean nothing and have gotten lazy to the point where they rhyme the same words together.
Just found out that the IRON MAN Blu ray I bought months ago, opened and let sit on my shelf until the right mood struck is defective and won't play after the first 20 minutes. Now I have an unreturnable defective disc, and I was right in the middle of my Avengers movie marathon too :{(
Sorry man, I hate when that happens. On multiple occasions I have broke the seal on a movie I've had sitting on the shelf for months only to find out it's DOA. I blame Tony Stark; he needs less time on the custom facial hair, more time pimping out proper products.
I got more of a classic spunky wise cracking Peter Parker vibe out of Andrew Garfield in a 2 minute trailer then I had out of 3 full length movies starring boring Tobey McWhitebread Vanilla Pants. THIS looks more like the Spider-Man movie I always wanted.
yupyup... don't mind tobey haha, I actually like the tone of his voice a little more (i mean, if we're being nitpicky) but THE spiderman in this one is already turning out to be more SPIDERMANish
well shit, yes you did.. sorry if this looked like I stole your status, I honestly never saw it. greatmindsthough.
I'm calling it now and saying Loki's army is The Atlanteans. When you factor in the blueish skin tone on them in the trailer, the spear like weapons the mo cap guys were using on set and the so called Leviathan which may be a creature, or a ship designed to look like a creature it all kind of fits them. Kevin Fiege already stated that it's not the Skrull or the Kree and we've already seen the Frost Giants in THOR so I don't think it's them again, especially after Loki tried to kill them all. I think MARVEL is looking to expand this universe further, and if it is them it could lead to...
Good point, it's just say Loki had a HUGHE army of 'em though, that'd be a big threat I guess. I'd love if it was a brand new threat but I just don't wanna get my hopes up and then it's....frost giants lol
ah I see... so like I said do you know of any storylines in any of the comics where Loki controlled the Atlanteans (or if it's not them where he controlled any sort of army?)
I don't know of any stories were Loki controlled the Atlantean armies, but the Atlanteans have attacked before and have fought The Avengers as well.
There is just to much stupid crammed into G.I.JOE: Rise of Cobra for my brain to process. It just keeps coming at you so fast.
The sequel at least looks competent and The Rock is a hell of a better lead than Tatum.
I was a little worried that watching Drive again might sort of dull the hypnotic intensity from the first viewing having already seen it, but it didn't at all. SPOILER ALERT Also when he goes after Nino wearing the mask it's a total 80's slasher horror scene. Fucking love that movie.
wholeheartedly agree.. him just standing there at the window gazing into the club... gave me the chills.
phenomenal movie.
Chillin'
This cartoon gave me the most memorable moments on TV ever... Twin Peaks parody?? James Bondish evil villains? Time travelling into a distopian future? All kinds of awesome!
All of these are totally amazing dude. Thanks for posting these. Such a great show, during the golden era of TV animation.
I generally dislike prequels to begin with because they have a tendency to be redundant by over-telling us things we already know, and only serve to dilute the original idea with unnecessary explanation. STAR WARS anybody? WATCHMEN is already a completed piece of work, we have all the important backstory needed to understand the story being told. There is no artistic reason for telling more WATCHMEN stories, just monetary ones. Now you can say what you will about Alan Moore, but the truth is this has more to do with DC just wanting to capitalize on the heightened awareness that the movie created for "the brand." If they really wanted to tell new and interesting stories set in this world they should of just made a sequel set in Veidt's new utopia that explores the consequences to Adrian's ultimate plan and maybe features some new characters mixed in. Be creative and expand it forward by using recent historical events as the back drop of the story to explore the moral ambiguities in the age of terrorism instead of a lazy paint by numbers prequel. They didn't do that though because they just wanted the already established WATCHMEN characters like Rorschach, Comedian, Dr.Manhattan and The Minute Men to milk it for all it's worth. The most we can really expect from the prequels is superhero stories telling the adventures of the characters before the events in WATCHMEN, which goes against the whole idea of WATCHMEN not being a superhero story, but a story about superheroes. It's amazing how all these industry professionals that claim to love and be inspired by WATCHMEN seem to be missing the point of it entirely. These prequels may be written by great writers in their own right, but it's just fan fiction in my opinion and not in continuity with Moore and Gibbons masterpiece. Yup, I said masterpiece.
Sad
Agreed. True creativity would be examining our current times. If nothing else, the Watchmen tale would not be already as written as the prequels' history. And, the original Watchmen series explored allegorically its times, the late '80s. So, writers would be truer to Moore's vision were they to examine our current times.
But, oh well, recent DC has seemed comfortable disregarding established DC Universe traditions. For example, the New 52 are new versions of beloved heroes. The Watchmen classic has prequels now. Etc.
Not that I'd want a sequel without Alan Moore involved, but at least it wouldn't just be a lazy paint by numbers prequel. It's really a waste of such a talented line up of writers to have them just filling out the B & C when all we really needed was the A & D of it all. It's just empty filler, and the thing about WATCHMEN is that there is no empty filler. It's actually a very lean version of a massive story that unfolds over decades with only the important elements needed to tell that story. It's just such a rich and complex story being told, and why WATCHMEN is so dense with detail. We don't need to see the adventures of Rorschach and Nite Owl, all we need to know is that they had them. We get all we need to know about their pasts from their interactions in the story.

WATCHMEN is one of the most important comics of the last 20+ years. It not only helped elevate comic books as a storytelling medium, but changed the genre of superheroes by asking such questions as what if these kinds of characters really existed? How would it effect the world, and what type of personalities would be attracted to this kind of extreme life style? What you get with WATCHMEN is an exploration of the answers to such questions. It takes the traditional character archetypes of the superhero genre and places them into the backdrop of key moments in American history. It introduces black and white characters into a morally grey world, and deconstructs the whole image of the upright and noble superhero who fights for truth, justice and the American way...[more]...
Definitely with you on all of what you said. People got to give it more credit than they do.
Sincerely agree with all of this. A comic classic. Not limited by its adherence to the source, but heightened by it.
Just rewatched Spielberg's War of the Worlds, haven't seen it since it first came out. It's a lot better than I remembered, and there is some really surreal shit in that movie. Yeah the alien ships coming out the ground is dumb, but there is some great, well Directed and tense sequences in it. I liked how it was shot in that immersive style kind of like Cloverfield too. I'd rate it about a 7/10

I spent most of my last review for Batman Begins talking about what I love about Nolan's vision of this world, so here I'm gonna spend some time talking about the character portrayals and what I think makes them great in my opinion. So buckle up gang, "and here we-- go...[more]...
Wicked review dude, really insightful and entertaining. TDK and BB still remain THE best comic book movies.
The profundity in this review is sublime. I fucking love this write-up dude.
SPAWN / Al Simmons - Common
Chapel - Terry Crews
Sam and Twitch are a couple of New York City Detectives who always seem to get mixed up in all the craziness surrounding Spawn. Sam, a bull in a china shop type of personality who's mouth always gets him into trouble, and Twitch his quite little partner with a nervous demeanor who's the brains of the team. Twitch's real secret though is that he's an ace marksman who can shoot the balls off a fly from 100 yards, a skill that has saved Sam's butt on numerous occasions. Together they create a classic fat guy/skinny guy comedy duo, and there fun characters who share the audiences perspective of everything going on around them just like R2 D2 and C-3PO.
Clown / Violator - Danny Devito

Fantastic choices for all of these man.. great job. I specifically love the Michael Emerson/Twitch and Vinnie Jones/Overkill casting.
Hi, Michael, I'm Jason. I really miss my mommy, and it's left me with something of an axe to grind.
