AHHHHH I CAN'T REMOVE IT

Seriously, I would destroy you all in Goldeneye.

I remember more cheat codes then I care to admit. I can still tell you how to unlock cheats in Rebel Assault which ran in fucking DOS.

I'll take you up on that challenge, though I never owned a N64 and thus haven't played Goldeneye in years.

Anyway, added myself to the DiF steam group, my tag is DrakeSD.

I'm only reading this page so I have the context to understand the drunken raging post I expect Dorkman to make about how shitty this page is.

I like this. Holden, any chance we could get, like, factions or something on the forum? Join team Ninja and you get a little lotus icon next to your name or some such. Team DiF - the DiF icon. Secret Society - I don't know, a stegosaurus or a submarine or something? Team Maul II - A top and and monocle? Astro-marines - I don't know.

Yes, Natalie, I'm looking at you.  Unlike Teague, I will unleash the full might of my hate cannon on her character.  She is underwritten, under motivated, and holds NO chemistry with Thor.  This is a huge problem for the movie, as in order for Thor to become Thor-y again.  He has to learn humility.  How does he learn it?  Some legit bad news about his Dad, and making eggs for Stellan Skaaaarrrassssgaaaaaaaaard, and finally throwing himself in front of the Destroyer.  Sorry folks, not enough.  Movie, I need more steps in between to see Thor gradually learn humility.  If I can't buy Thor learning humility, then I can't buy him getting his powers back for the big win.  Jane as a character is practically a cypher.  The only real Avengers intrusion is in this stuff, and it just comes off random and rambling.  I like Kat Dennings, but her character should've been called QUIP-A-TRON 9000, as all she's good for is mispronouncing Mjolnir.  That and her offensively hot titties.

This might be a core issue, for me. The problem is that the Frost Giants are so underdeveloped that I don't really see it as committing genocide. I literally see it as practically equivalent to trying to exterminate all the spiders in ARACHNOPHOBIA. Or even the Orcs in LOTR (doesn't help that they look very similar). The good guys could have killed every last one of the Orcs in Middle Earth, on screen, and based on the way the story was constructed, they still would have been HEROES.

DorkmanScott wrote:

Part of the problem was that there was a lot going on in Asgard but once Thor got to Earth we spent most of our time there. Fair enough, since he's the titular character, but I think the Asgard story was far more interesting and wish that had been the majority, even the entirety, of the movie, and clearly developed all the things that instead we had to read between the lines.

So our problem seems to be that the movie is trying to develop three different worlds, and doesn't spend enough time in any of them, leaving you unsatisfied and indifferent at the end.

Here's the scale I rate movies on:
1 - I will watch this and give it my full attention.
2 - I will watch this but I need something else to do also.
3 - I wont purposely set out to watch this, but if it's on and I have nothing better to be doing, I'll give it some attention.
4 - I wont leave to room because it's on, but I'm not going to watch it.
5 - Fuck this movie.

I'm a gamer and I get all the references and everything, but this movie is only a 2.5 for me. The characters in this movie are not gamers, they're hipster who live in a game world, and, on top of that, I don't really like them. hmm

So, my little brother likes this movie, and I watched it with him once. However, the way my little brother watches movies is this: He picks a random language setting, then starts crazily skipping around till he finds a bit he likes, then watches it again and again and again (and again and again...) before moving on and starting the process over again. So, I'm quite familiar some with parts of this movie, though only sometimes know what they were saying, haven't even seen other parts, and have no idea what order all these pieces go in. I am now going to go listen to the commentary and see if I can makes sense of things.

Ok, I only recently watched this movie, and I hadn't even heard of it 'till Netflix suggested it to me, so people I know haven't given me shit for it, but it only got mediocre reviews, so I guess it counts? I fucking love Vexille. Like, a lot. It's got cyborgs and andriods and mecha-suits and huge metal devouring worms made of the metal they devour and I love the music and art style and characters and man do I love this movie. It's on Netflix Streaming, go watch it.

Also, hey, you guys should do a DiF for Vexille. Please smile

See that trailer? Looks like a ridiculous, over the top, terrible, action movie, doesn't it. But you know what? I'll probably go see it. Not because I think it'll actually be good, not because I love The Three Musketeers, but because of that airship. Yup, purely because of that airship. See, it's a weakness of mine, I love steampunk-esque airships. The more prominent, numerous, steampunky, and awesome your airships are, the less I care about the quality of your novel/movie/game/what-have-you. I just fucking love airships. So, my question to you is, what's your weakness?

Huh. I've never heard any of that before, but I found it very interesting. (Side note: I haven't actually listened to the commentary yet, even though I have the Raiders DVD sitting literally right next to me. It this a continuation of a discussion in the commentary?) This has intrigued me enough that I will probably try to read that book and do some further research.
