MoS is clearly the right movie to base the whole DC movie universe on.



EDIT: I am trying to be sarcastic. I hope you're smart enough to see that.

I think you're going to have to further define what you mean by a 'classic review'.

I was watching some old video reviews (the ones Kyle (Oancitizen) did for "The Man Who Fell To Earth" and "Trash Humpers") and afterwards I realized how many years it was since I first watched them. I started thinking that those were classic Kyle reviews, and then wondered about other people and what would be considered classic reviews for them. In hindsight, classic may be stretching it; perhaps I was thinking "memorable".

If I understand Doug, I think his problem with Last Action Hero is the same with Enchanted: he doesn't like movies that have to explain what they're suppose to be making fun of. He prefers movies like Spaceballs and Young Frankenstein where they parody movies, but they don't point out the jokes and explain why they're ridiculous. At least, that's what I gathered.

Here's the link. For the record, I haven't watched them yet.

You know, I appreciate the effort he puts into these, but good God they are way, way longer than they need to be. This most recent set clocks in at a full two hours, and if past episodes are anything to go by, it's pretty much just 100% straight plot summary. Every now and then there's an interesting anecdote or two behind-the-scenes, and with a title like "History of Power Rangers" I was really hoping he would go more into the production side of things. How were they made? How did the cast them? How did the writers deal the fact that they had no control over almost half the footage? There are probably a lot of good stories there, and I don't really give a poo poo which plastic weapon the Red Ranger killed Rubber Monster #2976 with, which is honestly all this series is.

It doesn't help that Linkara's voice can get really grating after a while.

I watched it and he goes into detail the various behind the scenes situations that popped up. He even says that despite all the problems and the Sentai footage, this season proves that miracles exist.

On the one hand, even I don't get where the anime derail comes from when it does, (too many closeted weebs lurking the thread?) and while I like discussing focused topics in that vein, the "hey let's all rattle off our favorite anime" thing seems like a probable thread-locker.

On the other hand, it is hilarious when people complain about it. As with derails about Man of Steel or derails about GooberGolf, the topic will change back when there's more internet critic content people want to discuss. If a topic you don't like starts taking off, you can ignore the thread until it trickles back, or post some new internet critic content if you've got it. People talking about things that do not interest you and are not 100% on the listed topic of the thread is normal. No reason for the panic button.

I do start pitching a bitch when people get really gross and lovely about a topic though, so hey, we all have our gear-grinders. :v:

Weren't you the cause of this anime derail with your new video about anime Openings from 2004?

and editing out Smoker's cigars entirely, which was quite a feat considering he was always smoking two or three at a time. The edits just made him look like he had jaw problems and couldn't close his mouth all the way.

I'll admit that I kinda like the idea of him breathing out smoke on his own because of his power.

This isn't related to the Escapist, or anything/anyone in particular, but just in general. Is it weird to dislike someone/something for any number of reasons, but still respecting their thoughts and opinions about any subject, be it anime or movies or novels or what have you?

Ah, so thats why that show is hated. Cause on first glance it sounded right up my alley. I loved .hack back in the day and this has a similar premise.

It also had a damsel in distress and rape implications (physical and mental). That's all I'm going to say and I don't want to go further in detail.

The conception one may be off if your mother got a C-section.

The website also has an option for the song that was playing when your parents got busy and made you. I'm assuming there are parents that plan a C-section in advance, and therefore you are born earlier than when the mother is waiting until her water breaks and goes into labor.

I was trying to argue that C-section could change the theoretical conception date and what song your parents were listening to, but I'll cede this discussion since I don't really want to continue it.

Is Avengers 2 watchable for someone who hasn't seen a Marvel Movie after Iron Man 3?
No, since stuff happens in Captain America 2 that changed things in the MCU.



Disclaimer: I am not a Whedon fan. It's not from dislike of his works, but because I haven't really seen any them and I can't call myself a fan of something I haven't seen for myself. Point is I am trying to be as unbiased as I can.

Anyway, I heard stories about Whedon having to work with Marvel executives wanting the movie to have certain elements and things done, and that company pressure is pushing Whedon away from MCU stuff in general. I don't know the specifics about what went on, but it sounds like the usual company stifling the artistic vision of the director. I could also be wrong and misinformed.
