  1. Saw it today, enjoyed it. They totally set it up for another film but I hope its set outside Costa Rica next time or even San Diego for that matter.
  2. Anybody here old enough to remember seeing the first film in the theater? I saw it when I was about eleven and I remember the scene where the Terminator was blown up in the truck and collapses while on fire followed by Reese and Sarah hug thinking it was over and the Terminator was destroyed. During that scene folks in the audience started to get out of their seats and walking into the aisle thinking the film was over and then we see the Terminator endo-skeleton rise from the burning truck debris and then those folk who were about to leave were surprised and ran back to their seats. That was one of the coolest cinema experiences for me.
  3. I bought this for $95 off Amazon when I saw the news that Warner Bros. cancelled licenses for the General Lee products showing the Confederate Flag. It just arrived today and they are now going for $400 on Amazon. I'm thinking of selling it soon for a profit or keeping it to gain value in my collection.
  4. Watched the Attack on Titan OVAs. They were OK though no substitute for a second season.
  5. I looked up James Earl Jones's age on Wiki. Eeek! I hope someone is recording everything he says so his Darth Vader voice can live forever!!
  6. My post is trying not to be political but as you may be aware the Confederate Flag is suddenly mucho politically incorrect. So much so that Warner Bros. pulled licenses for the General Lee from the Dukes of Hazzard toys and are no long allowed to be made because of the flag on the car's roof. When I read that this morning I went straight to Amazon to buy a 1:18 diecast model of the General Lee for $95. A few hours later and I see they are now at almost $300! I only wish I bought a few more http://www.amazon.com/Dodge-Charger-General-Dukes-Hazzard/dp/B003ZC3TUI/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top?ie=UTF8 http://www.vulture.com/2015/06/dukes-hazzard-confederate-flag-warner-bros-stop-licensing.html
  7. I'm sure the game will be 'rocksteady' once the drivers and game patches are all released. Till then, I'll be waiting for a Steam/Origin sale as the game is too expensive even if it was working fine.
  8. The title is awful but it looks like they are going all out on SFX and action, especially since they're saving money on not having to pay Will Smith to rejoin the cast I'm glad they have Jeff Goldblum and others back though.
  9. ALIENS is my favorite but still awesome in all his soundtracks.
  10. Ooooooooo, I didn't think about that!
  11. Really good season premiere. Disney is showing true investment in Star Wars. Wish they did the same with Tron
  12. It's coming to the PS6, right?
  13. The older crowd, mainly us parents, will see this but I wonder if our kids will enjoy it.
  14. Man, the new Deus Ex continues to blow me away. This 'Dawn' engine graphics demo is the most impressive I've seen since the first Crysis last decade.
  15. I think some folk liked III the most because it was better than the second film and had way more dino action than the first.
  16. IMHO this is the best E3 since 2004. That being said this Deus Ex trailer blew me away and is what my next PC upgrade will be built around next year.
  17. Speaking of parks have you guys ever done the Jurassic Park ride at Universal Studios? It's pretty fun. On the same note Universal Studios is the best amusement park in Orlando, way better than Disney's. Especially the Harry Potter Forbidden Journey ride, it's the best ride ever!! https://www.universalorlando.com/Rides/Islands-of-Adventure/Jurassic-Park-River-Adventure.aspx
  18. Bah! I was gonna see it tonight with the wife at the Alamo Drafthouse but my mom had to cancel babysitting my baby girl, ugh.
  19. I remember seeing Never Say Never Again and how big it was to see Sean Connery as Bond again. I was young and was my second Bond film after For Your Eyes Only but my parents were super excited to see Sean again.
  20. How many actors are there that portrayed a villain in Star Wars, James Bond and LoTR? I can only think of one... RIP.
