I also may or may not have a 2' x 4' shitty pop art painting of Steve Buscemi that I made for my mom when I was in high school.
its not much, but I also have nostalgia bins.
never was a fan of the original, and im trying to watch it all in order... but it still feels like a naruto clone to me. Not that thats a bad thing, but its a very narrow appeal.
but I digress, The legend of Korra wasn't half bad... except for any plot point that was brought up.... was usually resolved by the time the episode was over.
I was fortunate enough to be born in 1990, And to have an uncle who was a movie buff. By the time I saw episode one I was 9, but had seen the original trilogy enough times that I had to get another copy of Star wars (..... a new hope.....) due to the tape wearing out.
And I enjoyed it. Jar jar was never a funny character even at that time, but I thought of it as the C-3P0 of this movie, someone annoying, but basically acts at the 'vessal' for the audience.
I got older, saw Episode 2 with middle school friends, and then finally episode 3 as an awkward high schooler... alone.
It was then I discovered what I loved in Star Wars, the production design/modelwork and whathaveyou... WORLD BUILDING. All of which weren't present in the newer 3.
It became a fanservice fiesta.
and its hard for me to look at it in any way but that.
Among the similar title/same release year movies:
Dante's Peak > Volcano
Deep Impact > Armageddon
Antz > Bug's Life
mission to mars = red planet
both were both the same pile of meh.
OH HAI shouldabeen-old-man-Wayland,
But then... Dr. Shaw is pregnant. Because they had sex the night before, scientist boyfriend being in his semi-transformed state. And she's apparently three months pregnant with what we find out is... a tentacle monster? Um... where are these tentacles coming from? Scientist boyfriend didn't grow any tentacles. Break-away pale man didn't grow tentacles before he turned into DNA...
okay, this is going to sound odd, but I took the tentacle monster to be a sperm cell mutated in Halloway's body. This grows to an amazing size within a day, and even moreso by the next time we see it, like the earthworms that we are deliberately shown multiple times. This black goo is a weaponizer, much like of the facehugger. It works quick like a virus to contaminate, and adapt.
and the apparently same black goo can also break down and rebuild DNA, in a seemingly similar manner.... to adapt and whathaveyou... maybe its concentrated? Not-fast-acting? but still, the logic's off from the first scene. Or at least we are shown something that never pops up again, only to be told it can do a million other things.
but then we get to the weird xenomorph at the end.... which I believe to be the "hybrid' we should have seen at the end of Alien Resurrection. Not a proto-xenomorph or anything like that. If this movie warrants its sequel, I think we are going to see the traditional xenomorph as the weaponized form of the space jockeys we saw.
but yeah... Scientists with horror movie logic, and get lost in places that are deliberately mapped out 3d holograms.
and old man wayland.............. couldnt he just be frozen in his 40's, days away from dieing of cancer?
Ive honestly got to give credit to the little Vfx team that could.
And I had more fun watching this sober, then Battleshit drunk.
I like this a lot.
Personally, im more of a hipstamatic fan... I like the idea of randomness and not knowing
how a picture turns out until its taken and done with. The idea of picking filters just kinda ruins the fun for me.
and its nice to have a pocket sized device for instant gratification, but it makes my dslr lonely...
if anyone interested... cellphone pictures galore:https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set … amp;type=3
I know right? giant chunk of obsidian with a fucking tower on it just SCREAMS adventure.
but noooooooooooooooo apparently I play with a bunch of wieners.
got bored of listening to a 2 hour fight during D&D of weather or not we should go to ^this^ place. So I sketched it out.
how exactly do i upload my video files? Ive tried dragging and dropping... but that just plays the individual files.... and if I drag a folder it doesnt upload it....
I wish there was a tyler stout mondo poster of just this.
but I agree with trey, the stakes never felt bigger than the main characters. Coulsen's death doesnt change anything but take something new and interesting to this universe out of the picture. Not complaining, but if I had to kill someone unexpected, it would have been Nick Fury.
gotta admit, as goofy as this movie is.
I still cant look at captain hook and see dustin hoffman.
That guy is having fun with the role.
Ill holler at ya when we tour down to California again this summer.
You might have to listen hard, but ill be yelling.
Sample:

we're both pretty loud, and quick talkers.
no accent, but I think we say 'melk' instead of 'milk' in washington state...
Possibly Something more toward the annoyed/pissed would be interesting, but im down for anything.
No limitations
and no fucking problems with profanity.
im a Ridley Scott/Terry Gilliam fanboy.
But Ghostbusters never stopped being awesome.
I'm down to be a major part of this.
Got a friend that's funny, a dslr, and the islands of the pacific northwest as a backdrop.
CONGRATS on the marathon!
Bummed I missed the live recording and chat... had to deliver pizza.
I did, however, listen to a solid mix of Howard Shore and Led Zepplin in spirit though!
It may just be personal taste, but I had high hopes when production was underway and a few trailers had been released, only to walk out of the theater felling like I watched a movie called "Half-ass" rather then "Kick-ass".
I went to the comic to see if anything too important story-wise was left out, but only found that the comic had this dark humor and tone that was left completely absent from the film. Almost all of the plot points are there, but none of them end up being a substantial part of what the movie is trying to be:
and that is something that feels like a half-assed superbad b-plot/pg-13 watchmen a-plot/shot like spiderman
i guess there could be a movie in-between "super", "watchmen" and this that id find awesome. but this on its own just felt blaaaaaaaaaannnnnnd.
"If you want to say groupies respect the rolling stones, no, they just want to blow the rolling stones;
THATS the muppets"
I fell out of my chair.
Thank you guys for working your asses off on Down in Front for the past three years.
so stoked to see you guys talk about this years films, its another blockbuster year.
also, how about: Tremors, Batman (1989), O brother where art thou, trainspottng, hot fuzz, airplane, ed wood, godzilla (1954)
finally after weeks of searching, it came to me.
