My daughter and I have been listening to the audiobook for the past couple of trips up to MD and no, it's not in there. I remember having to discussing the geo-politics of the Cold War to her after the WarGames movie bit and we also had an interesting chat about killer dungeons when I called bullshit when Parizival punked out the Demi-Lich from the Tomb of Horrors. "Why would you play a game that you were guaranteed to lose, Dad?" "Because we were nerds and we were stupid, kid." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This isn't being presented like The King's Speech or some shit - it's a big, dumb summer action movie. Your point would be valid if the first installment of this series wasn't a movie that won multiple Academy Awards and is considered an all-time classic.

Casey Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 One of the awards it was given at the Academy Awards that year was given to Independence Day about 3 years later, so I'm not sure what your point is. My point isn't valid because it won awards in... Sound Editing, Mixing and Visual Effects? Uhhhhhhh.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.T. Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 There is finally a trailer for Battle Angel Alita. The fact that they kept the huge anime eyes for Gally / Alita kinda weirds me out and hopefully there will be a lot more cyborg murder in this movie than the trailer would imply.

Craig H Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 Like, there's so many obvious things wrong with this. First, I guess Stallone isn't going to get any trouble for his rape charge. Second, he's really doing his best to turn Creed 2 into a turd. Brock will look so many weight classes different than Michael B. Jordan. Even for a Rocky movie that plays fast and loose with weight classes, that will be just dumb. Even if Ivan Drago is billed as being 260 lbs. (according to Wikipedia), there's no way you're going to say that MBJ is close to 260 lbs. The whole idea of getting revenge for Drago killing Apollo is dumb. Adonis didn't even know Apollo. He wants to be his own man anyway. Ugh, everything about this sounds bad. Creed 2 should be about going after the guy Little Duke is playing. You then at least have the built in drama of Duke training Apollo for Rocky and then Duke becoming Rocky's lead trainer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DreamBroken Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 Yeah I think it was just a random pic to share. He referenced an announcement then his next post after is announcing Stephen Caple Jr. is taking over as director. "officialslystallone: The character of Adonis Creed reflects this generation, and I believe it is important to have a director who is part of it , that is why I think we are Lucky to have Stephen Caple ,Jr A wonderful new talent take over The directorial chores and make the story as relatable as possible… He and Michael B Jordon will deliver a knockout!"

piranesi Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 This basically sounds like the plot of any Iron Eagle or Kickboxer mover beyond Parts 4 in each series. In other words, it will be miles better than CREED. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(BP) Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 This whole thing illustrates a recurring coda in Stallone's career: he orchestrates a comeback by reminding audiences that he has a certain charm and DIY outsider artist quality. Then he uses the rebuilt equity to remind everyone that he also has terrible instincts and loves easy paychecks. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HumanChessgame Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 8 hours ago, Pete said: So they seem to have removed Reveal hidden contents Oklahoma City from the plot as well, not that it really plays into anything. More interesting that Reveal hidden contents Art3mis plays a much bigger part. Spoiler From the trailer I gathered that after his place in the stacks is blown up he moves into some sort of squatter camp or off the grid gunter collective and that Art3mis is already holed up there. Him not moving into his own apartment isn't a big deal, but having them meet up in the real world earlier on in the film is incredibly dumb and undoes a lot of the major plot points. I'm also going to be butthurt if they take out his plan to infiltrate IOI as I thought that was one of the better acts in the book. Then again it could just be a case of the trailer showing a bunch of shit out of sequence. This has me simultaneously really looking forward to the movie and getting an even bigger feeling they're going to needlessly change a bunch of shit.

Its when he is only acting he mails it in, minus some exceptions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted December 13, 2017 Author Share Posted December 13, 2017 The 15:17 to Paris Directed by Clint Eastwood You should all probably be aware of the story by now. The unique (I guess I will use that descriptor) is that the 3 Americans are actually playing themselves . I feel like that has to be a mind fuck.

J.T. Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 I keep avoiding the Southern Reach novels because I have formed this unfair opinion that they are dumbed down versions of Roadside Picnic / Stalker. I really should read them some day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.T. Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 First Ghostbusters does an all female reboot and now Ocean's 8. I have an idea! DVDVR Films in association with For The LAAAAAAAADIES Productions will make an all dude reboot of Charlie's Angels featuring Chris Evans, Shemar Moore, and Will Yun Lee. We will all be fucking rich. I will have a talk with Fowler immediately. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
