Ones a giant lizard the others a giant monkey so there's two options either a fight to the death or a fight to a stalemate so they can become bros in time for the next movie.

Actually can we just get a remake of Rocky with Kong being Rocky and Godzilla bring Apollo?

Godzilla is the true King of the Monsters.

And boom there's the plot of Godzilla vs King Kong in a nutshell. Godzilla hears someone call Kong the King of Monsters and goes "Oh HEEEEEEEELL NAW" and they fight.

Seriously how is that a six writer job?

Edit: The real question will be is Kong Apollo or Rocky in this scenario?

That's not at the second run theater that ones only $1.75 all day. Our Regal just has the first showing be $5 and then jumps it to nearly $8 before 5 and then it goes up even more.

People who read the Dark Tower books tell me that is not even half as insane as the stuff Roland did in the pre-movie cycle.

I've only made it to midway through book 4 but there's been:

(Spoilers in case anyone cares)

-Lobster men that crippled one of Roland's hands and nearly killed him
-Three free standing doors on a beach that each open to New York in different years where Roland observes three different people ultimately bringing two of the three into his world
-One of those people is a black woman with DID who bounces between prim and proper and violently racist and horrible until the reconcile and fuse into one mind. Also she's in a wheelchair
-A cyborg bear infected with various diseases that's gone batshit insane
-Blane the Mono a monorail with an AI that's gone suicidal and gets stopped by riddles straight out of the Bilbo Baggins book of Bullshit Riddles

Fair warning, I think the general consensus is that the series goes downhill pretty fast. Whether its descent starts after the third or fourth book is debatable.

I hit a dead stop in the fourth book because it's all about Roland as a teenager and I just wanted them to stop talking and get on with it

I wanna see the nerd campaign to cast 60 year old Nathan Fillion as Spike.

Serious question about white washing anime. A lot of people see these characters as white, probably because when they see them on Adult Swim or what not they're voiced by white people a lot of the time. Should a fight against white washing begin with voice casting actors of Asian descent?

Iirc from my time as a preteen on the Adult Swim boards they don't want anything from Japan dubbed ever. The original audio has more enthusiasm and is better (despite them not understanding a single word) and it's a travesty when the glorious original audio is replaced with unenthusiastic horrible dubs.

FilthyImp posted:

It's kind of true, because the language barrier will mask bad VA work.

Though, to be fair, the concept of professional (or half competent) voice acting is a relatively new addition to the anime market in the U.S. Aside from a few exceptions (the Streamline Akira dub you probably grew up with had the guy that did Leonardo from TMNT as Kaneda), VA work on anime tapes was basically a grab bag of amateurs or hobbyists or guys they pulled an hour before running tape.

Pretty much. I only know English and a smattering of Spanish so if I watch anything​ that isn't in English it doesn't sound like anything in particular. The acting could be just everyone speaking in monotone but I've got no clue so it's easy to say "they're acting their heart out and putting everything they got into Naruto" (an actual argument from the Adult Swim forums way back when)

Again, any differences from the books is due to the movie being a continuation of the series instead of a straight adaptation.

Guarantee that's going to have to be pounded into everyone's head. New cycle of everything so that hopefully we get more Elba doing gunkata against lobsters and demons and super smart trains.

Battleship is more Hasbro trying to make money from their IPs the same way they were doing with Transformers. They more or less ignored board games now in favor of their other toylines like GI Joe, Micronauts, MLP, and ROM.

Somehow it seems appropriate that Baywatch's budget is 69 million.

Which is a shame because I'd watch the hell out of a direct to Netflix/Amazon/Whatever the gently caress D&D/MTG series. They could make it a low budget and just have fun with it embrace how cheesy everything about those games are.

I listened to a few episodes of his podcast and Stone Cold seems like a pretty okay guy. He was talking about how his movies might not be great but they're direct to video so you can pick up a pizza and some beer and then watch them from your couch.

And that his podcast is about "whatever Stone Cold wants to talk about for how ever long Stone Cold wants to talk about it and that's the bottom line because Stone Cold says so" or something similar
