I actually sort of liked The Congress. The animated parts much much more than the live action parts.


Yeah but not really due to religious reasons. I haven't played the Pope one but I assume it's the one where you are playing a presumably Catholic Italian nobleman so you're probably loving up the pope because he's a jerk/templar. Unlike the first game where you are a member of a group whose main goal was to strike terror into the heart of the enemies of their interpretation of Islam. Which included a couple of Caliphs.

I believe that one is you're fighting the Medicis or the Borgias, who are in with the Templars.

Historical assassins would get as close to their target as they could. Kill them and then just lay down their weapons and allow whoever rushed in to kill them. That level of devotion was very scary to their enemies. Which would make a pretty good basis for a roguelike game. Infiltrate a fortress or palace, find the target and kill them. If you fail it doesn't matter because you're only one of many expandable young men.

Yeah, you're essentially a human cruise missile. All that training and resources put into a single unit to accomplish one thing: killing the target. Anything else is irrelevant.

Where's this from?

I can't decide which is better, "rear end-atar" or "Fresh-rear end: Based On The Novel "Tush" By Assfire". "The Lovely Boners" and "Sherlock Homos" are also great.

Not that I caught. I seriously doubt any Seal member has ever been captured and/or that we would know about it enough to make a TV show (seriously why)

At least one has, falling out of the open ramp of a crashing Chinook and captured by al Qaeda, but was immediately executed.

The only "capture" I could find. I swore there might have been some in Vietnam and I thought the guy who was killed by the hijackers on TWA 847, but that guy turned out to be just a Navy diver.

The idea of surprising writing credits made me look up the posters for Head. The early one sheets are suitably strange and completely bury the one selling point the movie would have to a general audience.





Only now. Nicholson was a B-movie actor then, still working in Roger Corman exploitation films. He tried breaking into screenwriting with The Trip with friend Peter Fonda, and while it's good, the film was bomb.

It was Easy Rider next year that was his pivotal role of his career, because that got him Five Easy Pieces and working with Kubrick on a Napoleon film that didn't pan out but would lead to him working again with Nicholson on The Shining.

Oh yeah, to be clear, I mean they bury that it's a Monkees movie. The Nicholson writing credit is just a weird thing to look back on.

Oh, that's true, too. That first one is intriguing but it says nothing about being a Monkees movie. Perhaps if they used Davy Jones or Mike Nesmith.

I wonder what the next "80's series all funnied up" movie is going to be. Airwolf or Blue Thunder? There might be some money in zany helicopter shenanigans.

Blue Thunder deserves a remake but not like that. They could probably get a real attack helicopter these days, because Blue Thunder was supposed to just be an Apache.

Airwolf would definitely but they have to go super-crazy with the conspiracy and spy fiction stuff.

My favorite example of this is in Pearl Harbor where they fly out of Mitchell Field (known today as Roosevelt Field) on Long Island -- which is smack in the middle of the island, really. Not only were they basically on a tropical beach, but there were mountains everywhere in the background. Laughable moment in an otherwise perfectly accurate movie.

The first X-Files movie starts in a suburb of Dallas, which for some reason has a mountain range nearby in the shot with the city skyline. Dallas in real life is pretty flat.

That's actually sort of what his old headgear was. If I remember correctly you'd take a fedora and turn it inside out and cut up the brim. The look was apparently very popular among mechanics. It was called a whoopee cap.

I never knew this. That's hilarious. It makes sense in a way since it's rebellion fashion by destroying your parent's clothes to make something new.

She's been art-housing it up in a pretty legit way these last couple of years. She was good in Certain Women too.

She's also been working with Adobe's research department on "neural style transfer" and recently wrote a paper on using machine learning to alter video on the fly. It's something she's using in her short film to render scenes in the style of Monet and other Impressionists.

I'm a little miffed at that Logan poster for revealing the girl is supposed to be X-23. I'm pretty sure it's an open secret, but I'd like some sort of ambiguity when it comes to preview materials for movies.

Also, I hate that this rendition of the Reavers is just Pierce with cyborg arms and a bunch of goons straight out of Call Of Duty and doesn't have a bald person with a skull tattooed on their face nor a guy ripping off Mandroid from Eliminators and having tank treads for legs.

While it's evocative, it's not "Icarus". Then again, the reaction of a poster of him being crucified on a VW Bug would be hilarious , rolling around in broken glass, or having someone shoot him in the arm with a .22 less so.

The bit they had in the trailer looked like the face was fake, too, that I'm certain that Cyborg is going to be a completely CGI creation for most of the movie. Not even going the Avengers route with Iron Man or the Hulk with an actor in a greensuit with the CGI added on top of it.

I think it looks better the other way, actually.

Story of that Samson makes it deserve a better poster http://www.imdb.com/title/tt5252610/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1

And that John Cena The Wall might be good? Liman's usually a good director and it's a serious story, though might be just another mideast war movie for the pile. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt4218696/?ref_=nm_flmg_act_3

The trailer explains that Cena and Johnson are a scout sniper team, Cena the sniper and Johnson his spotter, who end up in an ambush. Aaron Taylor Johnson is the main character, because the trailer also shows that Cena gets gut shot and may or may not die.

Also, it's could probably be described as Phone Booth in Iraq.
