I hate that I can't get excited for Bubblegum CrisisBlade Runner 2049. I loved Arrival, think highly of Ryan Gosling, and Harrison Ford is my favorite actor. I just don't think it's going to do anything other than cement Deckard as a replicant, a theory I loathe.

Part of me kind of wants an actual live-action attempt at Bubblegum Crisis.

It would be easy as hell to do. Four women from different social strata coming together to fight rampaging androids in iron man suits? I'd go see it.

If the movie has any nuts at all, this will still be something that has no definitive answer.

See, I'm of the mind that it's better when it simply isn't a question posed by the movie at all. Roy Batty saves the man who killed his family, who is trying to kill him. A man who belongs to the group that benefits from creating these artificial human slaves. That is better than anything the afterthought of a mystery that Ridley Scott has been angling for years has to offer.

I still agree with Hbomberguy's video, but a movie based on a Liefeld character was the most successful comic book movie of 2016.

Which one was that?

I had to watch Dead Poets Society like 6 loving times in high school. Way too many teachers think they're Robin Williams' character.

We watched this in middle school. We had to write an essay on it and I went full edgelord, making mine about how it was totally the teacher's fault that kid committed suicide.

They should be thinking Fast & Furious. Hell, the last F&F and the new one are half GI Joe anyway. Cars and parachutes, War Bus, Battle Van, drones, the harpoon guns everywhere, and look at this thing:

It actually looks like a fun movie which the other two definitely weren't. Why the 'Guardians of the Galaxy' colouring though??

If I had to hazard a guess, it's to standardize the look of Marvel's Space Stuff.

Marvel has two moves when it comes to sound: Music so forgettable that it may be stealing your memories, or popular songs. Take your pick.

Eh, I didn't enjoy it (and I'm skipping the second, lol if you want to sit through "We're gonna have to learn to be a team" again), but it's pretty easy to see why people liked it.

I'm still trying to find a paperback version of the original The Gunslinger, with Michael Whelan's cover art.

I missed most of Kingchat, but goddamn do I wish more of his stuff got proper adaptations. I don't think anyone else in recent memory has done so much mass market weirdness, and I really want to see crazy poo poo like a kid traversing across time and space to talk to a giant turtle so he and his friends can defeat a murderclown.
