    I'd watch it. I'd donate on Kickstarter to get it made.

    Apparently, Sony Pictures looked into other options. Comcast, at least, is known to not want it available pay-per-view on their service right now. The terrorists have won, free speech is dead. Sony, put that shiznit on Youtube!

    Dear Sony Pictures: Good call cancelling the movie's release. It was the safe thing to do. Now put it up on YouTube, in full. Show the terrorists who REALLY won today. Sincerely, JB I honestly think nothing was going to happen. The "terrorists" were too grandiose in their claims. "If you live near a movie theater, leave"? Really? Are they going to nuke the movie? That said... you can't bomb every computer in America.

    Hey, at least it works after it's installed. That puts it ahead of the game.

    Me too! Hilarious, no love for scalpers. Especially ones trying to flip it before it's even shipped.

    Absolutely! Can you imagine how dangerous space would get if these projectiles were just left to fly forever after missing? Entire systems would be inaccessible for all the explosive debris! But the Death Star torpedoes could keep sailing because they didn't miss yet.

    That... that's REALLY bad. But a bootmake just means you now have two Universal Soldier 1s as well as 3 Universal Soldier 2s. It doesn't actually fix the problem.

    That doesn't require a remake of all the previous movies. See: Superman Returns. You can just say "Yeah, those bad movies never happened. This is a sequel to the good parts."

    Personal thoughts: I can see where the Star Wars trilogy could be tightened up, but... I'm generally against remakes. It implies you have no good ideas, and is almost always a sign of a shameless cash grab that banks on nostalgia more than quality. A remake is a good idea IF the original film had a great concept but was technically ill-executed. I suppose if it's aged sufficiently aged that it looks REALLY dated, and it was a great movie but no one can look past the age. Star Wars is in neither camp. It was well-executed, and it doesn't look dated. There's no real point to remaking it. And I haven't seen anything showing remakes lately are concerned with respecting the original. So no remake.

    Either way, the Death Stars have gravity by all appearances. The torpedo would happily keep falling down that exhaust shaft straight towards the center. And the sound is actually simulated by the ships' computers based on sensor data, then played in the cockpit to enhance pilot situational awareness. It's not really traveling THROUGH space, it just APPEARS to. Or it's artistic license. Take your pick.

    Man, after all the effort they expended on the letter of apology... This show! I just don't ever know what to think of it!

    The INTELLIGENT thing to do would be for Marvel to just cast Peter Parker as they please, and assume at this point in time, pretty much their entire target audience knows who he is and how he came to be known as Spider-Man. Not to re-boot/make/imagine/set the franchise again. If you want a new actor, just change actors. It worked for James Bond, and continues to work for James Bond. It's not like they've painted themselves into a corner here. They can't stop meddling with the script and ruining a perfectly good movie, sure. And they're incapable of recognizing their mistakes, so they blame the actors and directors because "superhero movies are big right now, therefore this should have sold well", fine. But they haven't done anything to hugely inconvenience future sequels like Fox did with XMen 3. They just made a godawful Spider-Film. Again. But regardless of the why, there's absolutely no reason to do ANOTHER origin story. Even if you DO reset the timeline. Peter Parker was bitten by a science-spider and gained super powers. After his uncle was tragically killed due to Peter's arrogance, he learned that with great power comes great responsibility and now fights crime in his pajamas. WE KNOW. Everyone knows. I'm pretty sure the average fetus in the womb knows at this point. Also, it's incredibly backwards that Sony is loaning Spidey to Marvel.

    Touche, good sir.

    Cripes, is there anything Sony DIDN'T have on that server?

    Just as a note: Sega's nostalgia-fueled jet-fighter-'em-up After Burner Climax is going out of "print" on PS360 later this month. If you needed more After Burner in your life and didn't know there was a 21st-century version(first I'd heard of it)... last chance. Unclear if this affects the Android and iVice versions, but why would you WANT them?

    Thank GOD the writers on the original trilogy were better than that, right?

    Soccer-bot is a real robot? Color me surprised. Very pleasantly so. Wonder how it works...Still not sold on some of these names. They just don't sound "Star Warsy" to me. I mean, what's next? A farmhand named Luke? Let's get some proper space names in here, like Star Wars is SUPPOSED to be.

    Macross II is exactly as canon as Macross 7.

    I was actually getting tired of Totsugeki Love Heart by the end. I know it sounds unpossible, but...

    Intermittently. I'm still a solo player, so still never gonna be in a raid. Hell, I don't think I WANT to commit that large a time chunk to one map.

    Also a supermassive black hole. Perhaps even a supermassive black hole that has integrated the constituent particles of the Megaroad-01.

    I keep seeing "everything wrong with..." videos, and expecting them to just be a rip of the entire movie.
  23. JB0
    You must watch Inferno Cop and Kill la Kill.

    Man, if they put electronics in him, they need to go all out. Pretty sure that they could fit an ACTUAL GENESIS in him with the modern chip. Sure the connectors would all have to be tiny and nonstandard, but...

    Welllllllll... they'd argued for a bit right before he left her. I can't swear which one calls to John first, but I want to say it's the Terminator. ANYWAYS... I just watched Salvation for the first time ever. It's... not a good movie. And as with Genesys, it suffers from the trailer spoiling the big twist. I already knew our hero was a robot from seeing the trailers, so the DRAMATIC UNVEIL was totally lost on me, and all the camerawork carefully hiding his exposed mechanics before the secret was out was... well, kind of silly. YouTube tells me this was also a problem with Terminator 2's trailers(which I have no recollection of ever seeing) as well, so... whatever. All trailers are spoilers, Soylent Green is people, and Darth Vader is Luke's father. I did smile when they messed with expectations in Salvation, trying to kill the final boss by dumping molten steel on it. It looks like it's melted down, everything is finished... and then it rises out of the big glob of red-hot steel on the floor and resumes stalking. THAT was mildly inspired, even if little else was.
