Just how many times has Sony tried starting franchise that were stillborn? Amazing Spider-Man, After-Earth, Ghostbusters...

I am reminded of that one leaked powerpoint slide that had a bunch of stock merch and in big bold letters "The After-Earth Universe!!". That gave me a chuckle.

Vimeo and Daily Motion have actual business plans (premium service and France, respectively) where VidMe is run by two frat bros who like to throw down in the comments with people who say mean things about them. Their entire business is a hilarious trainwreck of mismanagement. I mean, to get paid you have to tell them to cash you out, and they just pay pal the money to you. "Get paid" is a cornerstone of their platform, and they don't have actual payment infrastructure in place.

How does your folding powers work?

I really like Nick in things I see him in, so I really wish that read more like an apology instead of like damage control and a lot of belittling of the issue.

It seems presumptuous to make promises of better future behavior, as if he is entitled to continue the path he has been following. There's no contrition there. He just imagines that he can keep going while losing nothing and paying no price for his actions.

It's pretty disappointing that we never got a true adaption about the life of Fray Tormenta, it's honestly one of those fascinating stories that sounds fake if you have no idea it never happened. A drug addict and alcoholic goes through rehab and becomes a priest and opens up an orphanage but follows a life long dream of becoming a luchador in order to raise funds for the orphanage.

Pan's Labyrinth.

Continuing on my Ghibli riff after the Doug video, I finally sat down and watched Princess Mononoke after I ran into Ghibli again watching Lindsay's old top eleven favorite films list. Goddamn that is a good film, and one hell of a good dub. Except for Billy Crudup's line delivery right near the end just before Ashitaka and San part ways. About the only bad delivery in the film, felt rather stilted.

I still like Porco best of my viewing experience of Ghibli films, but I can't deny that Princess Mononoke is the better movie and is fantastic across the board.

Great as always.

I like how you can draw a direct line between the parable of "don't believe in fairy tales" to the story of the smashed watch and captain dick slurpee asking the nanny to tell his son how brave he was but getting told, "He won't even know you're name."

Lol at jim for making GBS threads on hellblade because of a glitch.

and lmao at total dipshit totalbiscuit for getting triggered by permadeath in a game, that idiot showed he was a complete butthurt human being after getting pissy at a trap question. what a manchild.

Also hellblade is "interesting" to say the least, I'm not a fan of story-driven games but I guess this is kind of unique compared to other indie games.

:confused: No, they did that with the Plinkett reviews of the prequels. The virality of those videos came from an audience in desperate need of ways to say Not My Star Wars without just being honest about it. Enter a video series where they provide a lot of wordy ways to say Not My Star Wars, because it's creators didn't want to just say Not My Star Wars.

Why do you do this dude. Look at your punishment history. It's not because you're always wrong, it's because it's so loving annoying to have someone repeat their BS malformed opinion over and over despite repeatedly being shown it isn't the case. That's not discussion and these are discussion forums. You're up to a week for this poo poo and they get longer, not shorter.

She definitely looks like she could put out a psychedelic mind bender indie flick that I'd give five stars on netflix.

Maybe an anthology series where she plays a crypt keeper like character sipping wine and dressed to suit the theme of each episode. /end contrapoint fanfic

Contra's sketches work more often than not as open-ended philosophic dialogues. The one with the nazi being interviewed is particularly penetrating.

The Linke is a party I grudgingly accept exists, but I've learned enough about DDR-history I can't bring myself to trust a party that was once the SED, a party leading the corrupt state apparatus ...
