Acebuckeye13 posted:Ah, that makes sense. Yeah, I'd probably see that movie. What, "Underslung Shotgun"? That is a pretty good title, but I'd have to see who's directing before committing to it. It sounds like a war flick, but somehow in the "quirky indie" genre.

It's not point and laugh, but when you are on design and want to be a professional you have to be very careful when it comes to grammar. It's very essential and it can destroy your beautiful work completely. And I'll stand and say, there is no excuse. We can find several tools to help us out with our bad English. We can even ask a native speaker of English, we don't live in then 80's anymore.  Content: There is some simplicity in this one, and I like it:

What's a nice touch is they tell you that the tone of the movie is a lot different than the first one. I am still amazed by Gremlins 2 for being pretty much a parody of the first one without tarnishing the first one at all. Both movies are great a the individual level.

Both the Gremlins movies are fantastic in their own right. The direction they took the sequel in was pretty ballsy and it worked out great.

victorious posted:Maybe going slightly off-topic, but using the image data off letterboxd.com and some quick copy/pasting, I made a couple of wallpapers using the posters for all the movies I'd logged on the site. There's probably websites that do this for you, but I thought I'd kill some time. Well, I'm on Letterboxd.com, and it's awesome - but it's apparent I'd have to create such a wallpaper myself, unless... ?

westborn posted:It's not so much just in the teaser as it is the teaser. I'm pretty sure there was never supposed to be a WTC scene (or at least not that one) in the movie itself and the whole thing was made as a very early stand-alone teaser, and that's why... Yeah, the teaser was shot separately from the rest of the film, although I think I remember hearing that the climax of the movie was originally going to take place on top of the World Trade Center (which was definitely the case for Men in Black 2).

The WTC ending was in the James Cameron script, I believe, not any of the ones after he left and Raimi got on board. I think it's where Spidey and Arnold as Doc Ock were supposed to have their final show down.

Apparently he thinks gameplay that requires well-timed button pushing is a quicktime event, aka every game ever.

Role Play McMurphy posted:Apparently he thinks gameplay that requires well-timed button pushing is a quicktime event, aka every game ever. I was using it to refer to the fact that Mirror's Edge was extremely linear and repetitive, gave the player very little agency, and basically boiled down to trial-and-error gameplay of hitting the jump button at exactly the right time. It didn't have literal quicktime events but you could replace 80% of the game with them and it would have made very little difference.

Pac-Man is extremely linear, repetitive, gives the player very little agency, and basically boils down to trial-and error gameplay of hitting the direction button at exactly the right time. God of War is extremely linear, repetitive, gives the player very little agency, and basically boils down to trial-and error gameplay of hitting the attack and jump buttons at exactly the right time. I could keep going, if you'd like. Just say you didn't like the game, dude. Hell, I never even finished Mirror's Edge because I got to a jumping puzzle that I had no loving idea how to finish and quit. No one will mind if it wasn't your thing, but none of those criticisms aren't true of a ton video games, right down to kind of being what video games, on the whole, are.
