Same.

Looking back on it, it's kind of an easy game to make if you take just a little bit of care with it since Wolverine is kind of built for video game play mechanics but, like you said, they threw some stuff in there that really took it to a higher level. I played it expecting complete poo poo but was pleasantly surprised. It kind of predated the Batman Arkham mechanics.

I want another Wolverine: Origins game (also another Hulk: Ultimate Destruction), god dammit. You'd barely have to change anything in either one beyond expanding the software into next gen and adding a little more depth. gently caress, a Wolverine game that expands on the Arkham combat system with all those vicious combos and finishers? Another Hulk game with larger worlds, better graphics and more poo poo to smash? Sign me the gently caress up.

Sorry...this is a movie thread but Hulk and Woverine had movies so :colbert:

just sayin.

I like Friends but it has the worst editing I have ever seen. It's distractingly bad once you notice it

Speaking of horrible editing everything, there's a constant stream of lovely Christmas movies on the free to air channels during the day right now. Boring white people living in gigantic mansions or New York apartments the size of penthouses. The woman are all either writers or waitresses and the men are down to earth mechanics or woodworkers.

But what caught my eye is that every single conversation is just so static and dead. They're never walking around or engaged in activities, whenever two people talk for more than a few seconds, they drop everything they're doing, stand directly opposite each other and the camera does a close-up on their face while they're talking and switches back and forth.

Just so loving lazy.

I now can't help wondering if there's a Hallmark or Pureflix movie about going to the Holy Sepulchre and witnessing the annual rite of the Holy Fire.

The prototype games are kinda like hulk ultimate destruction. The downside is they aren't as good as wolverine origins. The second one is a bit better/more humorous than the first one, but the first one lets you powerbomb people from off a skyscraper, so either one is well worth the price.

I think it is something you had to grow up with. I love me some camp but I do not get it. But my spouse and some dear friends love them with varying (and often concerning) degrees of sincerity.

They all come from hayseed backgrounds. Idk I'd that is relevant but the movies do reinforce the world they grew up in beyond the mere fact that they grew up with these movies.

Two hit hypothesis?

This covers the first 2 movies in the Christmas Prince Cinematic Universe, but she has also recently released a Patreon only video about Christmas Prince 3 and it's even more baffling. The central plot point is that there is a 6 centuries old treaty between the Christmas Prince's fake country and another bordering fake country that is mongol-coded. The treaty has to be signed every 100 years or the war between the two countries will resume! The treaty gets stolen and, even if the two countries are good neighbours now, everyone is "well, better get ready for war if we can't find it!"

Also the royal baby may be getting cursed if the treaty is not ratified! But everyone keeps reminding the protagonist that the chance of curses being real is really low.

Kurt Russell is a weird one. His relationship with Goldie Hawn is probably the most stable in all of Hollywood and his best friend in the industry is John Carpenter, both of whom are weed-smoking liberals. It seems he really may be that rarest of beasts: a right winger who can keep his politics out of his personal relationships.

I give actors a pass on being libertarians since outside of some legacy hollywood types (who are usually just boring limousine liberals) it is a real libertarian experience. They had to take a huge risk and usually work low level/demeaning jobs until they hit it big. Per Nozick, luck plays a huge role in libertarian thought and these people worked really hard and got really lucky and then applied that lesson to everything instead of just their narrow field.

It's stupid but it is also a very human kind of stupid I can understand and forgive.

Kurt Russel is a terrible example for an actor who had to take risks tho. His father was an actor, which probably led to him getting roles at a young age.
