JediTalentAgent posted:I was about to say an adaptation of game Prototype. Doesn't it do something similar? But Sony's probably been wanting to do a Venom movie for quite a long time. In Prototype the protagonist thinks he's infected with a virus but manage to wrest control enough to use it to fight back and, uh, eat people. In reality he IS the virus and has assumed this identity to help kill humanity. The second game has you playing a dude who actually is infected and is out to kill the first guy. Prototype will always be a series I cherish because we will never get a good Venom/Carnage game otherwise.

If you want to play Venom in a video game there’s always Ultimate Spider-Man. It’s super short though.

This "The Other Side of the Door" movie is full of irritations, rational and otherwise. It's like someone read the plot summary of pet semetary and thought all they had to do to make it unique was change the native american "indians" to actual indians. It has some of the worst acting i've ever seen in a movie with a relatively high budget. There are so many lame jumpscares - it was almost more remarkable when the camera view shifted and there wasn't some spooky ghost. The main irritation: if you know about a place where you can bring back the dead and understand how dangerous it can be, stop loving telling distraught parents about it. At least follow them to make sure they don't do the one thing you made them promise not to do.

Watching DBZ Kai and man, the Buu arc just kind of drags. There's way too many episodes of someone fighting Buu, blasting him a bunch and then he just regenerates from any damage.

More talk on Venom, I wonder if it is something partially left over from the Amazing Spider-Man reboot. Post-Avengers and pre-ASM2, Sony seemed to really pushing the notion of expanding whatever they could of the Spider-Man license and doing a lot of set-up for future characters. Unlike Homecoming that had a LOT of connections to the MCU, I'm not sure if/what Venom is set to have.

Sony is still really hoping they can pull off a Spider-Man Cinematic Universe, there's a Silver Sable & Black Cat movie in production hell and no one believes it'll come out, but no one believed Venom would actually come out either so who knows.

Sony has nothing to do with the MCU beyond lending Disney the rights to Spider-Man for those movies. Someone on twitter said they were imagining it as a movie about Wario where, for complex legal reasons, the existence of Mario is never acknowledged.

I don’t like when cop shows/mysteries have multiple people explaining the crimes to the crooks. In Elementary, Sherlock starts off explaining stuff but at any moment, Watson or the cops will jump in with the next line and they start trading it back and forth. Sherlock: so you bought the crisco can, like she normally does. Even at the same store. Watson: but mrs Wong buys the 12 ounce can, not the 16 ounce can. So you threw it away the night before the trash gets picked up Cop: but the trash gets picked up Friday on that block, not Thursday like it does two streets over at your apartment Sherlock: which was how we found it earlier today with the blood traces on it

I've been playing this game A Wolf Among Us. You play as a Dick Wolf  and you have the option to say nothing while interrogating suspects.This has been my experience as a detective. You don't really tell the suspects (or perps if you don't buy Ei incumbit probatio qui dicit, non qui negat, cuz that's f** talk) what you know. Unless you're an Agatha Christie character and then you can switch it up.

The Venom script leaks stated that yeah, Venom only becomes "Venom" riiight at the very end. To fight the bad government dude who infects himself with the "scream" symbiote. I think. But Brock's clothes are actually the Symbiote itself, so shooting tendrils from his "shirt" is alright. Canemacar posted:I'm surprised no horror movie has tried to go past just found footage and used social media as a framing device. There was "Unfriended" which is done entirely via webcams as 6 friends chat on Facebook about a dead ghost girl who then picks them off one by one. It is hilariously shite and well worth a drunken watch with friends. Make it a double bill with "Wish Upon" if you really enjoy awful, awful teen horror that fails on every drat level.

The Star Trek episode of Black Mirror kind of jumped the shark for me. It's like yes, it would be super creepy if you could copy someone's consciousness into a computer. We know because you've done it several times already. But the idea that you can create a fully conscious clone of someone including their up-to-the-minute memories, hairstyle and personality just from a sample of their DNA is just egregiously ridiculous. The whole point of Black Mirror is kind of lost if you know the scenario they're proposing is completely and always impossible.

And any other episode of Black Mirror that used impossible technology is ridiculous as well? Black Mirror isn't about "technology going bad," it's about "how humans could react/interact with a technology if it existed." Yeah, DNA memory poo poo is impossible, but I put it in the same realm of the VR videogames or neck-rice-memoryenhancers, or torture the murderer by erasing their memory every day. Impossible, but that's not what it's about. It's about human nature. My post, Metal Geir Skogul posted:What if phones, but too much Is a joke post, a misunderstanding about the show that gets posted enough by online reviewers that skim the show that it has become a meme.

Android Apocalypse posted:My current IIMM of Avengers: Infinity War is that I felt the Russo Brothers didn’t really know what to do with Starlord. They just cranked his jackass meter to 11. Well he has always been a giant manchild and he's trying to be all big and manly and macho since Thor's around and the man's just impossibly handsome to all who behold him. Which is impressive on its own, because usually the middle child is the oddest one of the family. My IIMM of Avengers: Infinity War is that yeah, the trailers weren't kidding, Thanos takes his helmet and armor off and spends the entire movie looking like a big purple Deebo.

I can suspend disbelief that a futuristic device you stick on your temple can copy your brain. But I literally know what DNA is and what it's capable of. It's like someone pulling out a Nokia 3310 and telling the audience it can scan for spaceships. At least put a minimum of effort into your technobabble.

Would have been funnier if she was Loki's daughter - "You know that weird chick you used to go out with 2000 years ago? Turns out, she had a daughter, and she's pissed you weren't there." Loki also having to try to send her brother Fenrir to his room during the final battle. The Thor series turns into Three's Company where Loki has to wrangle a bratty death goddess, a wolf with abandonment issues and a diabetic serpent as a New Dad, with their Wacky Uncle Thor sticking his head in occasionally. BioEnchanted has a new favorite as of 05:07 on May 2, 2018 |
