It really echoed what teen life was like in the 90's. Dramatic, self-evolved, juggling multiple men.

Today, we have True Blood to resonate the teen 'larger than life' statement.

DC is rebooting thier Comics yet again...

3 dollars for one comic book??!

Also shifting over to a twice monthly Release Schedule ?

I guess that means a lot of less Pages for more Money...

It just isn't a profitable venture anymore, I don't think.
Especially for Fox and their struggling X-Men series. Apocalypse leaked but it was overshadowed by Suicide Squad and Deadpool trailers leaks as well.

They won't have much to showcase by then.

Hopefully this will just enable them to release trailers and footage for everyone.

I think Buffy had more to do with America's obsession with high school. High school is almost defied in pop culture which is something I don't comprehend. If you peaked in high school then the rest of your life is one, long, downward slide.

Early ripe, early rot.

P.S. Reading that CA: CW has made $200 million overseas with a projected $200 million opening in the U.S. (Probably be the biggest opener of the year until the Star Wars movie in December.)

Reading actor Karl Urban has said "conversations are happening" about Dredd 2.

Of course "conversations" are a long, long way from a first day of filming, so tamp down your expectations. I agree with Urban that a Dredd sequel would work best as a series on Netflix or Amazon. The movie bombed worldwide so I doubt there's an appetite to go that route again, but streaming . . ., that could work.

That movie sucked

What aspect of the movie sucked?

Come Along Killgrave If DAK Says It Sucks, It Must. It Is Always That Way.

What aspect of the movie sucked?

Everything. It just felt...idk. Like there was no effort put into the movie. I didn't care for any of the characters, I wasn't drawn into it. At all. I just did not like it. Felt like a boring-ass videogame.

Saying the movie "sucks" is an utterance and devoid of weight and meaning. If you say something "sucks" it means more if you can put forth what about the film "sucks" and why.

Did you prefer the Stallone version? Or is the world of Dredd not your cup of meat?

Haven't seen the Sly version yet, I'm hoping I'll like it after this garbage remake.

Reading Supergirl's future on CBS is still up in the air. (No pun intended.) The series did OK but it's expensive - $3 million per episode - and its audience skews younger than CBS's normal demographic - read old(er). Also CBS's preferred dramatic format is the police procedural or a variant thereof.

There is talk of it going to the CW but the show is too expensive for the network's budget driven business model.

Is that the sharpening of the cancellation axe I hear in the distance?

I Fear It Is, Had It Not Been So Espensive And On The CW It May Have Been Better As They Could Have Introduced It Properly Into The Arrowverse.

The renewal decision comes down to dollars and cents. The CW is budget minded and it's not probably not to pay the $3 million per episode it would take to keep Supergirl's SFX looking good. That's why it went to one of the big three networks because they have deeper pockets.

So if Supergirl goes to the CW, there goes the SFX budget. And we all know how crappy bad CGI looks. It's a showstopper and that's all the audience would talk about.

What's the point of Supergirl is she doesn't look super?

Reading that Michael Giacchino will score Dr. Strange.

The Pok�mon Company has nothing to do with Nintendo, other than Nintendo publishes and distributes the games on their hardware..

Really, I'm not pulling this out of my ass, The Pok�mon Company is a different company from Nintendo. TPCI handles everything related to Pok�mon. Nintendo simply distributes and gets the games published on their hardware.

However you're still right in the fact that Nintendo is very stupid with Youtube. But that's Nintendo USA. Because Nintendo Europe is WONDERFUL with Youtubers, even lets them promote their content how they want, and even give them the games for them to play, and doesn't take half of your revenue like Nintendo USA.

ABC cancelled a couple of good series and renewed some shits. The Marvel one, The Muppets, Castle.. none of them even had a decent end.

^ The Marvel One, Would Be Agent Carter.

Yeah, that one!

The CW knows how to manage their budget, but it's crazy that it costs 3 million just to license the character Supergirl in each episode..

Sad to see Castle Go but, it was time.
Agent Carter was time, it went south so fast.

I wish they could have given the shows a decent ending at least, dang it.. What about the people who loved these shows who are now left without a clear ending?

That Could bE sAid About Hundreds of Other Shows.

Angel
Shark

Oh my god! They actually fucking did it!!!

They cancelled a really great show!!!

Exactly, NO! :notgood:

Part of the reason for cancelling Agent Carter is that Hayley Atwell is head-lining ABC's new show Conviction so scheduling was another cancellation factor.

The Muppets... I KNOW!

https://giant.gfycat.com/SoreSolidKodiakbear.gif

The new Muppets show didn't look very good anyway.

It just took the characters and put them in an 'Office'-type setting. Awkward wackiness ensues!!!
It wasn't made for kids. Just for young adults who vaguely remember the Muppets from their toddler years.

:shock:

I Loved It, Was Great to See That Stuff. I Laughed So Much. It Made My Day.

It was a solid show.

Not as good as 30 Rock, but still solid.

I can see the appeal, but I would have preferred a true Muppets show as opposed to one with jokes about human co-stars fucking an anthropomorphic puppet pig.

I wish they'd have done something like Muppets Tonight. An updated Muppet Show, but I guess we're never getting that now. Muppets are dead again I guess

ABC cancelled a couple of good series... The Muppets

The Muppets was cancelled!? It was by no means a terrible series but it certainly wasn't The Muppet Show and actually I think that's what's needed if The Muppets are to ever actually truly be successful on TV again (sadly, with today's music, there's no hopes of any attempt at a similar show to be anyway near as good, which is the problem) but whatever they do it will forever be compared to The Muppet Show likely dooming any series before it even starts. I don't think it helped that the series was trying to do something new that just didn't work yet the whole series was based around that one gimmick.

Lots of people shitted on it, saying it was too adult, or saying that's not how the Muppets are suposed to be, etc.. some even said Jim Henson would be rolling on his graves.. pure hypocrites who don't know what they speak about because I know Jim Henson would have loved it.. dumb idiots who think they know how Muppets should be

Ponyo, do you know what it means to be a hypocrite?

So how do people saying that the new Muppets show would have repulsed Henson make them hypocrites?

But it's not like you know that Henson would like it. Unless you time-traveled and met him before he died. :p

The show kisses up to the cliches and tropes of modern television, and is a vapid successor to the original in my eyes.

ABC re-tooled the show after the criticisms and it returned with a more Henson-like attitude but by then it was too late.

You rarely get a second attempt to make a first impression.

All the wonderful marketing job of Peggy and Kermit breaking up, for nothing..

As I understand it, according to the People's Republic of China - a.k.a. the Country Mao Made - there is no nation of Taiwan, formerly Formosa. It's all China.

CW can now do its version of Crisis on Infinite Earths.. I'm sure a crossover will come but probably not until next year or maybe just before the Christmas hiatus. A crossover for the sake of a crossover is a bad idea.

I wonder how the Supergirl cast will react moving from L.A. to Vancouver? And will CW pony up the money to keep the special effects, special?

I Donno I Doubt There Would Do A Four Way Crossover, Maybe Just Another Flash & Supergirl Crossover (Just To See How She Does On The New Network)

Chris Cubas on the horror of prolonged exposure to “My Heart Will Go On" (http://www.avclub.com/article/chris-cubas-horror-prolonged-exposure-my-heart-wil-236566)

Lenin had a beard.

Gabby Hayes had whiskers.

Reading that the final Wolverine film (w/ Jackman that is) might, according to Byran Singer, see the introduction of the female Wolverine X-23. Mangold, who is now directing the third Wolverine film, asked for reference art of X-23 early in the pre-production process.

That would be a good day of getting around the obstacle of casting a new male Wolverine by going with X-23. The superhero universe needs more women.

Apropos female superheroes, DC is working with Margot Robbie to create a Harley Quinn centered film which will also introduce other women heroes/villains of the DCU. And Robbie will produce the film.

About damn time. With Marvel's Captain Marvel not slated until 2019 and not Black Widow or Wasp film on the horizon, DC with Wonder Woman and Harley might claim the female superhero territory before Marvel.

Cool!

Reading that whenever X-Force reaches the screen it will be rated R. The team roster might include Deadpool, Cable and X-23.

Seeing X-23 on the big screen would be awesome. But since FOX is making the movie they'll probably fuck it all up.

Seriously, the only outstanding X-Men film is First Class. The ones that aren't laughably bad are passable at best. DoFP was only good for its future sequences.

Great job. If you squint you can almost unsee the awkward notches, but the fragile-looking circle is there to stay.
It looks like a cheap sports team branding.

Haven't they gone through like five logos in the past decade? The last one was really good anyway.

Here's a better one that reflects DC's current quality as a whole:

Their movies suck, their cartoons suck, their DTV films have sucked lately, and from what I hear their comics suck, since all they can do is constantly reboot and never adhere to anything, or at least anything worthwhile.

The TV Shows Are Good. Legends, Arrow, The Flash & Supergirl Have Been Good. Better Than Some Shows On TV.

The TV Shows Are Good. Legends, Arrow, The Flash & Supergirl Have Been Good. Better Than Some Shows On TV.

That's the only area of DC that apparently isn't struggling, but Arrow was never that good to begin with to me. The fact that the writers pander to the Tumblr crowd now has really destroyed what little interest I had in it. Flash was cool as a concept though, and they captured the mythos really well, but the dialogue was really grating. :-\

I wish DC had kept Young Justice moving along, or at least some sort of intelligent cartoon series. Teen Titans Go is... just awful most of the time.

I Love Them, All 4. *Shrugs*

I'm glad they changed their name from "DC Comics" to just "DC". "Detective Comics Comics" was redundant. :p

True.

Their 2005 logo was awesome.

https://t2.rbxcdn.com/916d4c7301e4a56cf2918b0054f43506

Why did they ever mess with that?

2012 for me.

They did some cool stuff with the peel-back logo, like changing the way it looked between properties. But the 2005 one didn't try to be clever, it just tried to be cool. And it was very, very cool.

I'm looking forward to Suicide Squad though! Hopefully those rumors about the reshoots being for adding in hackneyed humor aren't true.

According to director David Ayers those were just rumors. He tweeted the following "“reshoots for humor” is silly. When a studio loves your movie and asks what else you want, go for it!."

My guess: probably adding some additional action beats and interactions between the team.

Come August we will see.

Well DC has been doing a lot of damage control lately; it makes the truth behind Ayer's comment dubious to me. But I hope he's telling the truth, because I want a good DC movie for a change.

Gotham Has Been Better This Season Aswell.

I gave up at the Winter break with Lucius Fox taking 12 months to fix the bat computer and Penguin hobbling into the political headquarters along with his henchman, killing a bunch of people, and yet leaving witnesses.

Cop: "So, can you describe the killers?"

Witness: "Well, they wore scarves over their faces, but one of had a deformed foot and kind of waddled when he walked."

Cop: "Hmmm, I wonder who that could be?"

Plus Fish Mooney is back - was anyone really demanding her and her overacting return? - and now she's half fish?!

I might give the show a chance over the summer but it sounds like the show has jumped the Fish, I mean the shark.

I gave up when Fish Mooney was on some island in the middle of nowhere. It just told me that the show had no clue where it was going or where it wanted to be.

Reading that Disney will take a financial bath on its new Alice. Looks like six years between movies is four years too long. And early tracking indicates Warcraft will also underperform. (The trailers have been underwhelming to the point of being generic.)

The good news Warcraft is opening strong in Europe and Asia so this may be a case of overseas markets coming to the rescue. (Whether is will be enough to turn a profits is another matter. The film cost $170 million not factoring in marketing and will probably have to make $400 million to break even.)

The better news is X-Men: Apocalypse looks to make $80 million in the U.S. and internationally it's already make about $130 million.

Dark Phoenix here we come.

Meh, did Alice even need a Sequel ? I didn't like it all when i saw it in the Cinema...

Seriously? Fuck people. I watched Alice 2 today. I liked it. It was just how I expected it. It seems somehow really all the group has taken a massive hate in Alice 1. Just like how people just HAVE to hate Ghostbusters (2016). Well, fuck the box office, fuck the critics, to me it was good. 6/10

It went second place. Fine, it won't win 1000 dollars but doesn't seem like it will be a massive bomb like John Carter (which I liked) but eh. As long as it's not a massive bomb but anything that doesn't reach 1000 is a bomb to Disney

Meh, did Alice even need a Sequel ? I didn't like it all when i saw it in the Cinema...

Since Disney and Depp seemed to developed some kind of symbiotic relationship a sequel was more a question of when, not if. (Besides the first was an earner for Disney, so that added to its inevitability.)

The first movie, and judging from the reviews I've read about the second, both missed the point and the originality of the Carroll's novels. Disney ground them into an easily digested pap for mass consumption.

Besides, listening to Depp screech like Nathan Lane in The Birdcage for two hours is more than I care to bear or pay for.

People don't hate Ghostbusters for shits and giggles, it's the logical reaction after seeing that PoS Trailer.

I definitively think there is a Thing like too much Depp...

Depp has lost his way, creatively. It's like a taste of financial success has crippled his abilities as an actor. I admired the guy who could have made a mint playing the "Johnny Handsome" roles but instead starred in films like Dead Man or Fear and Loathing. And I was genuinely happy when the first PoTC was a success. (And it was and is a good popcorn movie.)

But now those days of interesting choices, with the occasional Sweeney Todd or Rango, are gone.

But ManRay there are a lot of folks out wilds of the Internet who hate the idea of the new Ghostbusters and it started long before the release of the first trailer. (Which is a clusterfuck. The latest ones are better.) And the hate centers around the all female cast, which is sad and disturbing. Social media is filled with immature males who can't bear the thought of women in charge.

You know, like Donald Trump.

6/10 for me means the movie is fine enough. Not a masterpiece but good enough for me. I enjoyed it. And that's what matters, really. The first one was a guilty pleasure of mine too but I enjoyed this one much more. This one doesn't have the edgy dark grittyness of Tim Burton. I trusted James Bobin that it'd be good, and it's good enough for me.

I agree, Black Pearl was a Fun Movie, but lately he's just phoning it in, don't know why, the Man's got enough Money,
i'd love for him not to accept any Role that has a big enough Paycheque attached to it, wanna see him act his heart out,
like Leonardo Di Caprio does...

But what do i know, Fear and Loathing is one of my favourite Movies ever... :p

And, have to agree again, Tumblr is absolute Cancer, SJW & Radical Feminists VS. the Misogyny & Patriarchy Allstars has
become so fucking tiresome it makes me wanna puke...

But for me personally it's not about that with the new Ghostbusters, have no Problem with a female Cast at all, what bothers me
is the forced Sledgehammer Humour mostly, cheap looking SFX and disregard for the Source Material...
But ofc i hate it because i am against female Empowerment, yadda, yadda, yadda, gimme a Break...

I'll post Sunbunz's Video again, i totally agree with her, a Woman's Opinion ;)

Deep MayHave Money, But If People Want Him To Play These Charcters and Disney Offer XYZ Amount in Money Would You Turn It Down??

It depends if the actor wants, really. See how Daniel Craig has been offered 88 millions and yet he didn't want to do the character anymore so he rejected. I guess Depp either needed the money or didn't mind going back to a character, and he liked it. Definitely everyone comes back. Must not be just the money as they are high actors who have enough money to reject if they wanted.

6/10 for me means the movie is fine enough. Not a masterpiece but good enough for me. I enjoyed it. And that's what matters, really. The first one was a guilty pleasure of mine too but I enjoyed this one much more. This one doesn't have the edgy dark grittyness of Tim Burton. I trusted James Bobin that it'd be good, and it's good enough for me.

If you liked it that's totally fine. Also, a new Director you say ? Hmmmm, might check it out in the Future,
nothing against Burton, but maybe i'll like it better with a diferent Spin ?

I am not hating on the Man, i love how he visits Children in Hospitals dressed as Captain Jack Sparrow...

It's just i don't know, i think overexposure to the same acting Trope is what has numbed me to Depp...

It's kinda hard when you like something that almost everybody hates! And yes, it's a new director, James Bobin, which I trusted because he directed nicely the latest two Muppets movies. To me it's kinda VERY obvious that Burton has not an input in this movie other than "producing".. it seems (to me) less dark and gritty and edgy than the first movie was. To me, this movie now was more like a more normal fantasy movie featuring the characters of the original. Personally I found it entertaining, maybe even better. I just simply liked it. Whereas anyone else could hate it for their reasons and just point all the flaws they want - I just liked it. It looks different to me than the first one; but I'm not even sure if you'd like it. It's up to you. Download it one day when you're bored.

Considering his wife has filed divorce papers and a restraining order, Depp's answer will probably be "no."

Drugs, alcohol..?

I know, anyone would have a nice picture of Depp. It's kind of sad what he's doing lately but I want to believe it's due to drug influence and that's not how he really is.

Sorry if i am coming on as a total DoucheAssholeLord, but we haven't heard Johnny's Side yet, have we ?

Not condoning domestic Violence in any Way ofc (That's why my Parents got divorced...), but she is trying to
squeeze him as hard as she can, and not suceeding... Smells kinda fishy to me, Johnny is big on Family
as we've seen countless times in the Past... If it is as bad as the Media tries to paint the Picture,
i am sure Drugs/Alcohol and Stress play a mayor Role....

No I mean the fact that they're using James Horner's score.

*Shrugs*

The first movie, and judging from the reviews I've read about the second, both missed the point and the originality of the Carroll's novels. Disney ground them into an easily digested pap for mass consumption.

It's public domain. I don't think anyone's going to try do a verbatim translation to film for it.

Buying both Sin City the movie and the graphic novels are a waste of time. They're incredibly boring after you line them up, frame for frame.
Granted the film did some changes, and added some new stuff, it just sucks all the fun out of it entirely.
I only got 3 graphic novels and ready to trash them. I lost interest in getting the rest absolutely after watching the extended cut to Sin City 1.

I hope they use most of it as it was actually scored.
It'd be nice to hear sessions from this.

There will be the original Horner session.
And then the retouched work by additional composers session.

And then the retail OST.

This is a progression that would make outstanding differences.

Isn't that old news? I remember reading about it several months ago and getting excited at the thought of hearing a new Horner score, posthumously.

This article was in April of this year, you're thinking of when James wrote the full score as a gift weeks before he died in the plane crash, we had no word until April that they would actually use the score at all.

Welcome.

I doubt we'd be getting the sessions to this ever. Lol.

:mad: They ought to just put it as an isolated score for the bluray.

Some will get them but of course keep them and want mega stuff in exchange for them...... the usual story.

Oh ok. I must have just assumed they were going to use it anyway.

Put it this way - if James had written a score to my movie as a surprise and then died shortly afterwards, I'd use it.

I got the Studio on line 2. They really want to interfere with your conversation with Creativity on line 1.

Fuqua went on to say they never really talked about the score. Horner’s music for the film also wasn’t completed since he was only working off of the script, but now his former team of composers is finishing up his work, which Fuqua describes as having a slightly “modern” feel.

---------- Post added at 08:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:47 PM ----------

Maybe they did confirm it last year, I don't know. Reading this this year was news to me however, but I don't want to start an argument. Let's just be excited because we'll be hearing another Horner score!

I hope the film is dedicated to James Horner.

Because it was pretty considerate of him to write out music for the film as a surprise, way before it had even started filming.

Agreed. Can't wait to hear it! Although I guess it won't be 100% Horner as his composer buddies will have to do a fair amount of work to get it finished and edited. But it's still exciting!

It had better be. Right at the beginning before the opening titles and again at the end of the credits.

Reading that next season of GoT, number seven, will be seven episodes in length instead of its usual ten. That holds with what the show-runners have said that the final two seasons will be shorter. Series eight, the final chapter, will probably be six or seven episodes in length.

Also reading there is one final, major plot twist coming but that won't be revealed until the very end of the series. The two of the promised three have already been revealed.

.454 Casull is an actual cartridge. Revolvers like the Super Redhawk or Raging Bull fire them. (They are most definitely BFGs.)

The 13 mm would be bigger than a .50 caliber round which the Desert Eagle chambers. But that handgun is probably the limit for the average person. A case larger than a .50, it's time to go rifle. (Anti-tank rifles use the 13 mm.) Rifles give you better control and accuracy.

The Jackal is a gun that could only exist in anime. In real life the Jackal's grip and overall construction would probably have to be twice the size depicted to handle the force generated and the expansion of gases.

Still cool as hell and that's one of the many reasons we watch good anime. Personally, it's a tie between the Jackal and Wolfwood's Cross Punisher for coolest anime weapon.

As for guns, you spend years in the military and you pick up a few things. As for a card carrying member, I've lived my life by Groucho Marx's - I'm a Marxist, a Groucho Marxist - edict of never belonging to a club that would allow me to be a member.

Personally, there are too many guns and not enough brains out in the wild. Guns - as DeNiro said in Ronin - are tools to accomplish the job. Nothing more, nothing less. Some people fetishize them to irrational extremes.

Hahaha! That's just the Internet amplifying a problem which has already been there: some humans just love to jump at the chance to be cruel to total strangers; try working in restaurant as, how do you call that role in English, a servant (?) and you'll quickly lose hope in humanity+be utterly disgusted by it.
Idiots haven't really grasped how the Internet and the megaphones (also known as social networks) work: when they Tweet, post a status update, comment… They still think they are talking solely to their circle of friends/followers, that they're entitled to say anything because it's their profile page. We live in an age in which what you "Tweet[ed]" about this morning can make it into this evening's News, if you're not careful. They haven't wrapped their goddamn heads around the fact that what they spew can be read by the actual developers and/or celebrities… There used to be something akin to a great wall between "fans" and content producers, Internet has demolished that wall. Sadly, what should be for all intents and purposes an amazing thing can very easily turn into a nightmare.
Now, mix the cruelty with the general level of anonymity which the Internet provides and you've got a recipe for disaster. In short: people have no problems being cruel to strangers.

'Zootopia' directors on passing $1 billion: 'We hope there's cake'

Oh, how long have you served if i may ask ?

Served twenty years.

My German university professor did the same, wound up in the Philippines. Civilian service is a good alternative since not everyone is compatible with the military way of life. No shame there and as you said it reminds one of how good many of us have it. When I hear the bitching and moaning about how bad America is, my first question is "Have you lived elsewhere?" Tragically, only 15% of Americans have ever left the country.

My first impulse is to take those whiners for a week to Afghanistan, Iraq, the southern Philippines, Central America and let them experience how most of the rest of the world lives: no education for women, no sanitation or clean running water, no paved streets and little hope of ever getting out. Where they are born is where they will spend their lives, probably never traveling further than ten miles from home.

Perspective is a good thing.

Of course, America is still a work in progress and we have a long way to still go.

America is not bad as a country. It just has a terrible society and people. And it's getting worse and worse. But hey that happens anywhere else too, honestly. It's not just America. Spain is filled with dumb idiots who do nothing for the country's shit either, and stay quiet, and a lot of assholes, too. Really, frankly, it's everywhere. But if you want to say America is nice, as a country, as in landscapes and all, heck yeah, same with Spain, but the people and society are not good at all. And don't shit on me just for saying this of America because I just said every other country is the same, really, we're all filled of shit somehow.

I find those americans who be like "America is the best country ever, I'm so proud of it, we're gonna get better" so desilusional. It's not gonna get any better. I honestly don't trust politics, not in my country where they are more fucked up, not in the US.. don't think I even trust Bernie which seemed to be the only way out. Trump, Hillary, Bernie.. just like here, anyone who wins, people are fucked anyways.

But that's me discussing the last sentence you said. I cannot deny, however, that America and Spain, although with shitty people and society, are still not poor countries, and there's people who have it worse somewhere else. Your point is fine. I get that part, and agree. And yes, people are entitled these days and don't realize how good they are in "civilized, not poor, countries."

Not only all of the above - the harsh fact that people like Annie Wilkes actually exist in our world.

Well, that's already been said, anyway...

You see how the sense of fan entitlement turns to anger. Fans and critics were lying in hate for Batman v Superman because Man of Steel didn't conform to how they thought the film should play out. Never mind they hadn't scene a frame of the film outside of the trailers. Never mind that Bryan Singer's classic take on Superman underperformed at the box office. And never mind that not all superhero films have to follow the Marvel formula. It's the people behind the cameras who make the creative decisions, not the fans.

America is not bad as a country. It just has a terrible society and people.

American society as a whole is not terrible, but certain aspects are. And they've always existed. There have always been the "know nothings." In the 19th century there was even a "Know Nothing" Party whose members were nativists, fearing America was being overrun by German and Irish immigrants, who were taking jobs and were following orders from the Pope. Back then Catholicism was the Islamophobia of the day.

History does like to repeat itself.

And thanks to social media and the Internet you can build your own bubble, move inside and rarely encounter any information that contradicts your worldview. The problem with that stance is reality is waiting with a large needle ready to pop that bubble.

It's the people behind the cameras who make the creative decisions, not the fans.

Clearly, not everybody understands this. When you're the ones in their place, then you can create what you want, how you want it.

America is not bad as a country. It just has a terrible society and people. And it's getting worse and worse. But hey that happens anywhere else too, honestly. It's not just America. Spain is filled with dumb idiots who do nothing for the country's shit either, and stay quiet, and a lot of assholes, too. Really, frankly, it's everywhere. But if you want to say America is nice, as a country, as in landscapes and all, heck yeah, same with Spain, but the people and society are not good at all. And don't shit on me just for saying this of America because I just said every other country is the same, really, we're all filled of shit somehow.

I find those americans who be like "America is the best country ever, I'm so proud of it, we're gonna get better" so desilusional. It's not gonna get any better. I honestly don't trust politics, not in my country where they are more fucked up, not in the US.. don't think I even trust Bernie which seemed to be the only way out. Trump, Hillary, Bernie.. just like here, anyone who wins, people are fucked anyways.

But that's me discussing the last sentence you said. I cannot deny, however, that America and Spain, although with shitty people and society, are still not poor countries, and there's people who have it worse somewhere else. Your point is fine. I get that part, and agree. And yes, people are entitled these days and don't realize how good they are in "civilized, not poor, countries."

Back in the 1940s, we (The United States) were a respectable country and superpower, for the most part. Now we are a laughing stock. There's a lot of dishonest people in our mainstream media and politics (likely in other countries, no offense). I can't imagine what a bunch of idiots we look like to people in other countries.

So, no. I am not completely proud of my country at all. Why should I be? Damn straight we have it good, when it comes to the mentioned aspects of cities, clean and running water, sanitation and such, and every country has it's beautiful and unique landscapes and terrain. I'm only proud of some certain aspects. But I agree with Killgrave. So many of us have it good, and we complain. As has been basically already said; Join the military or service, or spend some time in a third world country, and you'll shut the hell up. :p

what are you currently reading?

well..... same old stuff. Different day....

Careful with those rose colored glasses, Clonemaster.

Back in the 1940's we weren't a superpower. We entered WWII with Armed Forces in name only. Our military was segregated. The country as a whole was, thanks to the devastation of WWI, largely isolationist, with an American Nazi party whose spokesman was Charles Lindbergh who advocated eugenics and the sterilization of the mentally challenged. There were no civil rights, women's rights, and the large portions of country viewed Catholics with the same fear and distrust as some view Muslims today. The government forcibly interned Japanese-Americans after Pearl Harbor simply because they were Japanese-Americans.

Chunks of the country had no electricity or running water or decent roads. In the South you could still buy post cards featuring the lynching of African Americans and the U.S.'s education system operated under the motto of "Separate but Equal." In hospitals surgery was the most common way to cure chronic infections. There were no antibiotics until 1942.

And I'd like to know where you get your opinion that the U.S. is a laughing stock. What's your guidepost? Have you lived overseas for years at time? Seen other countries from the inside? Familiar with another culture other than America's or speak a language other than English? To speak another language is to get some understanding of the people and culture associated with that language.

Reading Superman will appear regularly in Supergirl.

Reading that Zootopia started originally as a spy story.

Reading John Boyega will appear in Pacific Rim II.

Reading that Splash will get remade. Why? Because Hollywood loves remakes the way fat kids love cake.

Wonder how much Superman will cost alone to be in one episode, Supergirl in an episode is already pretty fucking expensive. I hope The CW goes all out.

I bet it will be the 4 part crossover he appears.

Reading Shout! Factory is remastering John Carpenter's The Thing for a fall release. Definitely great news. The U.S. Blu-ray is good but zero special features. I bought the U.K. version which is a solid release plus it has all the ports from the Universal DVD.

This is awesome, especially after Jackman's Civil War score was such a disappointment.

Read on different sites that Zimmer has been working on the score for BBC's Planet Earth II, as well as that he scored a film called 'The Last Face', where apparently, according to reviews, had ripped off of the Red Hot Chili Peppers.

I'm eager to listen to those scores, but the latter of the two, has been getting constant negative reviews.

I just realized that Silvestri might use some of the material in "Unruly" for his Thanos theme. That would be so amazing to hear!

Something called The Last Face should have been the sequel to Face/Off, scored by Hans Zimmer. What a missed opportunity!

Thanks for this interesting read, Killgrave :) About the laughing stock part, I think clonemaster mostly refers to the presidential candidate race that looks more like a charade than anything else to foreign eyes. All our newspapers talk about is Trump. From all angles. I don't think Obama had gotten this kind of spread when it was his time. To certain people it looks as if the most hated and most ridiculed man in American history is running for President. Everyone keeps laughing at him in Late Night shows and no one wants him to be President, but yet so many people are voting for him. That is also part of the ridicule to Americans in general (I think). No one likes him when you ask them in person but yet so many people go out and vote for him. But that's what happens in a lot of countries for a lot of Presidential or governmental elections. People don't want to lose face but they do want change so they say one thing but do another.

Shout! Brings Home Transformers – The Movie 30th Anniversary Edition

It's getting remastered from 35mm print.

Not sure how I feel. Shout has sucked hard lately.
Ravenous was a VHS upscale, the director's cut to Manhunter (1986) has a lot of SD upscaled scenes. You can see the jagged aliasing so much.
The nice thing about Manhunter, however, is that they included a DVD/SD version on the bluray in 480p for the director's cut.
Most of their releases lately have been closer to "workprint" qualities. :/

I don't like how they master and compress stuff, looks terrible.

Robot Jox wasn't so bad. It was pretty much the same as the German disc transfer.

Most of their releases lately have been closer to "workprint" qualities. :/

The Transformers G1 sets, from S1 to S2 at least, looked fine, though definitely inconsistent occasionally. It was a series that had the masters tampered with a lot through out history. They had a written statement, which states


"Transformers DVDs released prior to our 25th Anniversary Edition were missing animation seen in the original broadcast. We did extensive research, found the discrepancies between the original broadcast masters and the restored masters used for the last DVD release, reinserted the correct animation, and color corrected it as best we could to match the shots before and after. But because a one-inch master tape simply can't hold up to the quality of the restored masters, you may notice occasional shots�or even scenes�in some episodes that seem slightly softer than others. Just take comfort in knowing that laser blasts have been reinserted, backgrounds have been corrected and Starscream is Starscream once again."

So while better than the Rhino releases, that didn't stop them from being forced to use lower quality sources in certain scenes, which tells me that is a recurring staple for the company. At least with Manhunter, they do put in on the back of the box that there are rough quality inserts in the extended cut, so they're at least honest.

I'm excited for it, if only because my copy of the 20th Anniversary DVD is pretty scratched, seeing as I had it when I was younger. Seeing as they have access to the original print, it makes me interested that they have one source to deal with, as opposed to multiple, varying ones. The special features better be good though, because that DVD had quite a bit of it. They have two discs, so It'll probably be packed. Also, on the website, the aspect ratio is "various," which makes me think they're doing the fullscreen and widescreen being each different masters thing from the DVD. I also wonder what the original Blu-ray was like, since that was UK only, I believe.

I also see they're releasing Power Rangers Ninja Storm on DVD next week. I have nostalgia for that show.

I never saw him in anything other than Terminator: Salvation. If he was in Star Trek (2009), I saw him there too, though it's been since the year of release since I saw that film, so I wouldn't remember.

It's a real shame. WAY too many people are passing. This is ridiculous. :notgood:

I might be super wrong, but I think it's because of the cost that Superman can only be in the first two episodes. That's why it's fine for there to be a Bruce Wayne in Gotham, but a Batman TV show would cost too much in licensing. Again, I might be wrong.

So maybe Thomas Wayne could appear (which would be badass), but not necessarily a Batman.
