  1. * Super Bowl-winning (American) football head coach. * The first master of the telestrator. * And the best anti-fungal pitchman for Tough-Actin’ Tinactin. Hope he and Pat are having fun calling games beyond the pearly gates. RIP.
  2. I’m sure that came into play, but I know Wachowski also wrote this film while dealing with one or two parents’ death. This seems to come through with all the nostalgia berries and sentimentality in Resurrection. EDIT:
  3. Kinda snickered a bit through most of the ep. But I will admit: it left me wanting to see more. And Jawas truly are the car-jackers of the galaxy! 🤣
  4. Watched it finally after some technical difficulties. Found it better than the two sequels. The action sequences felt kinda bland, and the ending action sequence felt like a knock-off zombie battle. There is some winking, nodding, and breaking of the fourth wall which was fine. But something in the story and characters resonated. Right under all the nostalgia-berries and the love story, there seems to be this snuck-in, recurring theme that all this binary, yes-or-no thinking limits us far too much. EDIT:
  5. Well. . . that ending sucked. Played it too safe. The comedy felt out of place. . . Considering how there were these dark undertones throughout the whole series, this ending just doesn’t fit right. I wouldn’t mind more of Kate and Yelena bantering. But Marvel needs to stop leaning on the worn out formulas and tropes with these Disney+ series. The only one I really liked start to finish has been Falcon and the Winter Soldier. Loki was good right until the whole good guy/mirror image bad guy fight and the “This was all set up for NEXT season!” ending. Ugh, such a disappointment.
  6. Watched the first two eps of Expanse Season 6. First ep definitely felt very disjointed, as they’re trying to show us what everyone’s been up to and resetting the proverbial table. Second ep was better. A little more focused and better story payoff. Still don’t see the point with the little girl though. Yeah, I know the planet is Laconia and I know its significance to the book series. But with 6 eps only for this season, I thought the show would focus more on the whole Free Navy situation.
  7. So, Baron Harkonnen was a Sith? And Dune happens in a galaxy far, far away?
  8. And here I thought Jet had a passing resemblance to Jigen from Lupin III. I thought the live action actor did a solid job with the character. I’d seen him previously in Luke Cage with a very different accent, so it was a trip to see him as Jet and sound almost exactly like the English version voice actor. The only real change they made was giving him a daughter, which didn’t really mess up the essence of his character. Again, despite the obvious flaws, there was potential with the show.
  9. Well, they were planting the seeds to pick up the story from the anime movie. I’d love to see them break the bank to animate that dog fight with the Swordfish II. And the Vincent vs. Spike fight is still one of my personal faves. AND Gotta Knock a Little Harder is one hell of a song too!
  10. Okay, Maul. Take your offer and SHOVE it!
  11. Welp, see ya space cowboy: https://variety.com/2021/tv/news/cowboy-bebop-canceled-netflix-1235130359/ 🤷🏽‍♂️ Edit: I would have given a second season a chance. But wouldn’t be surprised if budget was a deciding factor. I’ve seen shows with worse first seasons still get second seasons on Netflix. <shrugs>
  12. Mid-fight poses:
  13. Anime Vicious rarely, if ever, was made to look the fool. Always seemed to be a step ahead of everyone and commanded this odd full-on loyalty from his underlings. You don’t get that with the live action version (except for one scene). I get why they did it for storyline purposes, but they nerfed him too much.
  14. As strange as it sounds, yes. Alps, Everest, and a ton of flashbacks.
  15. Just watched The Summit of the Gods on Netflix. Some may complain it's a slow film. But it's immersive and stunning animation and gives you a sense of how crazy mountain climbing must be.
  16. Yeah, I’ve had a similar issue using Firefox (even prior to the latest updates). The workaround seems to be to clear all Macross World cookies and then log back into the boards. That seems to get the replies posted. It’s just annoying when you type out a long reply. . . and then realize you have to copy the reply text and go through the whole process of clearing your MW cookies. And then paste your response back in.
  17. I’ve always liked @lordmasterprince’s brown GBP custom: I’m sure someone could scheme some ideas for M&M and some other Valks too.
