Watching the Avengers with a car battery hooked to your balls would actually be preferable to just watching the avengers. At least you'd have something interesting going on.

Apparently Blizzard is making a last-ditch effort to bring people back to WoW by adding pretty much all the features people have been asking for since launch, which just makes them look like assholes for refusing to add them for a decade.

SHINee's back




I finally got around to Wonder Woman and liked it quite a bit, but it isn't an amazing movie. Fun story, though the third act gets a little boring. Pretty atrocious dialogue, but the performances make it work. I really dug the more comical, naive Diana than any other version of her. Gadot is much better in this than BvS, but I'm still not sold on her. When she had to serve me grief or basically anything serious, I got nothing out of it. She has a rockin' stern look, though.

I've seen complaints about the action, and I thought it was shot and choreographed just fine. Like it looked super nice, but it felt super floaty even outside of all of the slow mo backflips. I didn't feel any impact, which is a bummer because this movie fully treats WW as this simply blowing through every obstacle until the end, which is fun as hell but the action scenes still felt off.

Good poo poo overall, though. And as a Greek-Canadian super fun to ironically nitpick.

Please elaborate. I played it a bunch back in vanilla in high school and gave a couple of expansions shots with some friends, but I only lasted like 2 weeks each time. As grown-rear end adult, there's no way I'm getting back into that poo poo, but I'm curious. I haven't followed the game at all so I'm left wondering what these features might be.

I also want to know. I played until a little after TBC dropped, then played a month before Draenor and the changes were fascinating. Are they adding back old poo poo, or adding things people have been asking for from the start?

Official Vanilla servers (meaning you can play without any of the expansions if you think they made the game less fun over time by changing it too much). Scaling challenge level and XP gain in every zone, meaning you don't have to go quest in zones that you find boring just because you're too high/low level for the ones you actually want to do. You can now play as "sub-races" that have been part of the Horde and Alliance forever but weren't playable before. There's more but short of allowing Horde and Alliance players to group, it seems to be every single thing people have been asking for for ages.

You're talking about MMO players here. Miserable slog is the entire appeal. I have a friend who voluntarily plays loving EverQuest on one of those vanilla servers.

So I guess they took the level scaling mechanic from GW2? I actually really liked GW2, but I just didn't have the time for an MMO when it came out and my friends way outpaced me. I don't think I ever got to max level.

There sounds like a similar system but on quote three pieces of armor which im reading as rings and neck or neck and trinkets

I would hope weapon drops are increased and improved, or are regular quest rewards in the new zones

Murlocs aren't a thing yet. Right now it's reskins of a couple existing races

The level scaling isnt quite like GW. It's going to be from a lower bound to the level cap for a given expansion, so like Bsrrens would be idk 10-60 or whatever barrens is these days

He's got the attention of the world right now and careers are being destroyed on a daily basis, why not just strike it while it's hot now? The fallout might even make it easier to get his documentary produced.

With each passing day and more sordid and scandalous stories being released the film The Lonely Lady (1983) continues to grow in stature despite being extremely underwatched. A mere 792 ratings on IMDb.com.

The travails of one woman and her quest to make it as a writer/screenwriter in Hollywood. Pia Zadora plays Jerilee Randall. Nearly every single person in the Hollywood system is portrayed as some kind of deviant pervert: cocaine snorters, obese pervert financiers arranging trysts, old lecherous rich guys raping starstruck and desperate women and passing them around like prostitutes. Avaricious womanizers looking for the next piece of meat. And they're mostly above the law.

Hollywood has never looked this awful. It's such a brutal and cynical takedown of the system that it's no wonder it's never been released on DVD. The film culminates with a crescendo as Jerilee accepts what looks to be the Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay:

Jerilee: "I don't suppose I'm the only one who's had to gently caress her way to the top." *storms off stage*
