  • the trailer didn't entice me that much, so I went ahead with the spoilers. Yeah I hate when a good mystery is ruined by over-explaining.

    I still haven't forgiven Steven King for writing all those sequels to The Gunslinger

  • oh yeah, I remember liking the genetic aspect of that too. But yeah, poor story, and not Mila Kunis's best acting

  • It’s like getting “Lord of the RIngs” movie, but about some gang war in a village southeast of Umbar.

    I mean. I would watch that.

  • Sword Art Online had a pretty decent few opening episodes, it just.... for some reason decided to go full-blown Knights of Sidonia and turn itself into a weird harem anime.

  • Premise seems pretty cool (mutant/zombie machine), and I guess it's kind of a cool but forgettable action flick?

  • Oof. Having the statue of liberty there on the opening credits of Planet of the Apes

  • Christian Bale faking an actually decent London accent, Gerard Butler being a loveable scot, and Matthew McCaughnehey doing his best Norse/Spartan Warrior impression?

    Horrible acting all around (except Bale at times), the lead female character was basically there to soothe/flirt with the lead (wish i was joking), you can barely understand anyone, and yet really impressive set/castle and overall atmosphere. You believe you are there, and that the world is gone.

    Huge gaps in logic on the hunting patterns of dragons, helicopters seem to run on infinite fuel, and the final plan to take down the main dragon is just stupid at best.... but the execution of fighting dragons in the air with nets dropped by guys without parachutes was a phenomenal air sequence.

    Also, the dragon CGI holds up. You never quite see it, but when you do, you believe it's there, and the CGI team did a great job with consistency in that the dragons are always depicted expelling fluid that they ignite, and you see it every time they cast fire.

    Brilliant movie, and one of the best opening 5 minutes in terms of origin story. Just a lot of bad acting, and some questionable feats in logic plot-wise.

  • And resemble a wasp

  • You could set up your own wifi hotspot and become your own free ISP, undercutting any private company seeking to dominate the area. It'd usher in that wonderful wild-west age of the internet

  • Oh WW2 London is a fave of mine. I've always wondered what the slums of Deptford looked like. Right now it's an overly gentrified rich person's suburbia, but back then it was the rotted lungs of the shipping industry. It would be also nice to know what it was like hiding out in the tube with a bunch of strangers. Did anyone play music? Was there singing above the praying? Did people trade books and cigarettes?

  • old gum

    Jump
  • So give me coffeee
    and teeeveeee....

  • Aww, how sweet

  • I made a house, crafted the bedrooms with the latest decors, put solar panel decorations on the roof and moved in a goth family. It was pretty heartwarming to see it all happen really, though I did delete their toilets shortly before saving.

  • Sounds like an ansible job, or a Guix Deploy scenario. No idea what president Nixon has to do with orchestration
