I am dangerously excited for the Stormgate beta. I hope the game is as good as I've built it up to be in my mind!

I mean, I'm no snob when it comes to movies; I own the Raul Julia / Van Damme Street Fighter movie on both DVD and Blu-ray. I own every Star Trek movie, even the execrable ones. Hell, I have a DVD box set of the American Pie trilogy on my shelf, and taking a cursory glance, right above it is Drive and right below it is Road to Perdition. Josstice League is in a category unto itself, though. I remember my best friend was bringing up a new bed to my place in Wisconsin when I put it on, I was maybe halfway through the movie when he called to let me know he was in the parking lot, and after everything was said and done and he went on his merry way, I smoked a little weed to see if it made the rest of the movie any better and ... uh, nope. It most certainly did not.

All I'm getting is that I want to watch Mortal Kombat (the 90s one) and probably Tombstone or The Saint since the Batman talk reminded me that Val Kilmer was a Batman.

Mortal Kombat is bad, but it is an entertainingly cheesy bad and carried by the unrelenting charisma of Cary Hiroyuki-Tagawa. And, of course, the soundtrack rocks.

The 90s Mortal Kombat movie being the only 'decent' video game movie of its era is still funny to me. We didn't get another good video game movie till uh, Detective Pikachu? (Every live action video game movie between those two never broke 50% on metacritic).

Mortal Kombat while bad, knows exactly what you're here for and quickly dispenses with anything but that. The setup between fights is relatively minimal, they bring the characters and their motivations to the screen well, and boom, it's just death match after death match with like a couple of minutes in between. And yet manages to bring together a diverse cast, give... some of them motivations and has a relatively cohesive story.

I liked the first Resident Evil movie, I’ll throw it on in the background when I have a few drinks and lego every now and then. Tubi is great for LEGO time. Lotta good background noise classics

Jewel's Pieces of You. haven't thought about the saint in a long time and used to watch it a lot when I was younger. may need to rewatch.

Street Fighter is undeniably a bad movie, but I really do think the Bison "but for me, it was Tuesday" line is one of the greatest movie lines ever

Yeah, I think in comparison, Street Fighter is just a very bad movie, with Raul Julia giving 100%. It's just whenever he isn't on screen.... snore.

A few months ago I made a post here calling the Mazda CX-5 a boring, soulless car. I would like to apologize for that, I was not familiar with Mazda's game. As a proud new owner of a CX-50, I can say that Mazda loving rules. What a wonderful car. I want a Mazda 3 next.

Nodoze posted:It's just bad period, whether it's Whedon or Snyder. Hard disagree, Snyder's Justice League is great. But I don't say that as some sort of weird Snyder-bro despite loving ZSJL and most of his other movies outside of Sucker Punch, which is just ... deeply unpleasant to watch. It took me three nights to get through Rebel Moon. gently caress all the way off, Zack. I like your style, but if Rebel Moon is your vision of Star Wars, then I'm glad they told you to go pound sand.

I'll be fair, haven't watched it since a bit after it came out. I'm willing to amend my statement to: whenever JCVD or Chun Li are on screen without Raul Julia: Snore.

Kalli posted:Now Populous, that's a proto-RTS with some hair on it. I still have Populous on 3 1/2" diskettes, in its original box. I think it took two disks. What a game. I wouldn't call it an RTS, but it felt completely revolutionary at the time. And it ran pretty well on my 386 with 16-color graphics.

Timby posted:"Long?" The sequence of Bruce running the computations to match the bullet fragments is, like, 40 seconds. TDK has a killer cold open, an amazing Ledger performance (like, I think he probably would have gotten the Oscar nom even if he hadn't tragically died, though I doubt he would have won) and Maggie Gyllenhaal is just such a much better actress than Katie Holmes. Aaron Eckhart holds his own too. Sure the plot makes zero sense if you spend more than 30 seconds thinking about it, but that's fine in a comic book movie I think as long as you're being engaged in the moment. The Big Sleep is one of my favorite movies of all time and that has a murder that literally no one knows who committed it, none of the characters in the movie, no one involved in making the movie and not the author of the book the movie is based on.

My wife bought a 2023 CX-5 last year. Mazdas own. I'm just sad they aren't selling the 6 in the US anymore. I would buy a 6 wagon immediately if it was available here.

I love my CX-5, it’s a lease for now but I’m probably gonna just buy it once it’s done I’ve had to drive a few rentals over the past couple months and they’re the competitions equivalents and they’re just not as well made.

Loving the Mazda endorsements, I've been looking at new cars and the 3 Hatchback is the best by far out of the ones I've test-driven but I'm just making sure it's absolutely the one I want before I pull the trigger.

While we're talking cars I do not get the Civic hype, I thought that car was mediocre when I test drove it and would cost me thousands more to get some features that most other cars have standard. Why do I have to buy the second highest trim package just to get a loving blind spot monitor?

The Ferrari 296GTB (Base price: $338,255) or did you have a price range in mind? probably a prius prime though, it's hard to beat a prius for value, performance, quality, value retention, utility, etc
