  1. Just finished watching episode 2. Despite ripping off elements from the Die Hard series, it wasn't that bad. Hopefully, next week's episode will be better.
  2. The non-U.S. version of Demolition Man is more hilarious. Because Taco Bell is not available in nearly all countries outside the U.S., Pizza Hut is substituted in the international releases. Therefore, Stallone and Sandra Bullock re-dubbed their lines to say, "Pizza Hut," and all Taco Bell logos are digitally replaced with Pizza Hut logos (the Blu-ray version makes it more obvious).
  3. Some hot Chinese model/actress, but her parts are only on the overhyped Chinese release. She's reportedly been signed to play Clarice Ferguson/Blink in X-Men: Days of Future Past.
  4. Guilty Pleasure of the Moment: Sylvester Stallone Movies Sylvester Stallone is a Renaissance Man in his own right: actor, writer, producer, director, singer (sometimes), businessman. While he received critical acclaim for Rocky and First Blood, his muscular physique got him typecast as one of the top action stars of the '80s and '90s (plus a handful in the 2000s), heavily competing with Arnold Schwarzenegger nearly every year. Of course, this means that majority of his films are hated by critics, but easily guilty pleasures of any film buff. Schlock like Cobra, Over the Top, Lock Up, Tango & Cash, Cliffhanger, Assassins and Daylight are pretty bad, but have their own cult followings. On the other hand, movies like Judge Dredd, The Specialist, Get Carter and Driven are simply unwatchable. With all that said, what Stallone movies are on your guilty pleasure list?
  5. Despite the recent passing of Tom Clancy, his legacy lives on in the big screen. Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit is a reboot of Clancy's Jack Ryan series, with Chris Pine (James T. Kirk in the current Star Trek series) becoming the fourth actor to portray the title character. Also starring are Keira Knightley, Kevin Costner and Kenneth Branagh (Thor), who directs this film. Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit premieres this Christmas. Official Site
  6. The N-Strike darts are absolutely harmless. The Vortex XLR Discs, on the other hand, will leave a mark.
  7. Episode 12: "Jaunedice, Part 2" As Jaune continues to slack off in class, he reveals to Pyrrha why he's in the Academy in the first place.
  8. The "Extended Action Cut" Blu-ray/DVD release of G.I. Joe: Retaliation has a small scene that promotes Nerf. Here, the President's son ambushes Zartan with an N-Strike Elite Retaliator.
  9. As I mentioned earlier, Jada Toys' business is mainly diecast cars targeted to ricers, lowriders and people with a chrome fetish. The not-RoboCop figures will be just like the Iron Man 3 figures: swivel joints in the neck, shoulders and hips only. That's it.
  10. Downloading the episode right now, but wow - you guys are making it sound like it's worse than that one TV show about the .
  11. I'm in the middle of a Die Hard marathon, and I'm up to Die Hard with a Vengeance. It had been over a decade since I've seen the first three and I noticed the long scar across Bruce Willis' right arm from the shoulder. According to IMDb, Willis had shoulder surgery when he was 17, but I was wondering, was an "origin" to the scar ever written to John McClane's character (like Harrison Ford's chin scar in the Indiana Jones series)?
  12. Jada Toys RoboCop 2014 Action Figure First Official Photo EPIC FAIL. Jada Toys makes crappy diecast cars (just look at their Initial D line from a few years back). They have absolutely no expertise on action figures. So what makes them think they can pull this off? Judging by the photos, it looks like the figures are gonna be as abysmal as Hasbro's Iron Man 3 and Mattel's Man of Steel figures. MGM/Sony should've given the toy license to NECA like the original RoboCop.
  13. Rush just opened in U.S. theaters this weekend. Here are some more classic tunes from the film: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MVZxiQnOA-A
