Did he? When did that come out? I've never heard of it!

That's the one! It was called Parallel Monsters.

That is true. By March, we'll have a Mad Max-esque gritty near future movie in Logan, a yakuza noir/western in The Wolverine, and whatever the fuck X-Men Origins: Wolverine was.

YESSSSSS! I've been waiting to see the trailer for this! It's the latest by Nacho Vigalondo, the writer and director of Timecrimes, one of the best time travel movies of all time! If you haven't seen it, it is an absolutely flawless representation of Novikov (or fixed timeline) time travel. He also did a segment in ABS's of Death and a GREAT segment in the 3rd VHS movie. Ever since I heard his next movie was about a girl that creates a kaiju that attacks Seoul when she gets drunk, I've been waiting with bated breath.

This has been discussed in interviews and articles, but I'm spoiler tagging just in case...

Stock went up at BestBuy.com and sold out in about 4 minutes. By the grace of god, I was somehow able to get an order in that window, from my phone, while in the can at work! Squeee!

I don't know, two good/one awful is pretty much the superhero trilogy standard at this point.

Friend of mine invited me to a free screener of Split on Wednesday. My opinion of a film has never changed so drastically, so suddenly in the middle of a viewing. Don't read ANYTHING about this movie. Go see it blind if you can, please I implore you. It's a little clunky at times, and while watching it I wasn't sure if I liked where I saw it going....but damn. Okay, that's all I'm going to say.

So, went to see Split at the little theater down the street from my house. I left with about 15 mins til showtime because it's 5 mins away, but when I got there the place was slammed. Honestly, in all my life, I'd never seen it like that. I don't go that often because its old, the seats are crappy and the screens are yellow. It's nice for a sunday night or matinee, but not big releases or anything. I stood in line for tickets and, fuck, it was sold out. So, got Magnificent 7 on Redbox. It was fine.

M.Night is pulling a Tarantino or Kevin Smith

 

 

A twist! It's a backdoor sequel to Unbreakable. It's official, all his original movies exist in the same universe?

When was the last time you went to the Palace man? Its completely redone and all leather recliners now.

What?! That's why there was so many people! Going tonight.

What he said! I'd wager this is M. Night's best yet (not saying a lot depending on who you are). McAvoy killed it, and... yeah. Go see it blind for sure if you can.

 

Yeah, saw Split tonight... and my heart is happy. Also, that fucking theater, Jon! Wow! What an upgrade. Those seats? *swoon*

damn, now i wanna see split

 

yeah, that's crazy - donny was just saying how she'd heard they redid the whole joint. that was my spot in college (after the dollar theater across the way died), but a few years later it turned into the trashy theater, like the ghetto 8 down south did - fights in & out of the theater, sound cutting off, just a shitty experience & no reason to go with dolphin nearby. now we've got passes there & i'm hearing it's a fine time to revisit it!

I am down for both the theater and the movie! Taking Spacecowboy's advice and not watching and trailers for it. Weekend plans?

 

weekend plans!

No Johnny Cash, 0/10

I never really thought of Mario as originating parkour in videogames, but puttting Mario in an urban enviroment with his Mario 64 moveset and thats exactly what he did!!

I switched (heh) my preorder from neon to black BECAUSE my mild OCD is going to want to complete the set of each color if I get the neon (getting a Left in red and a right in blue) and the joycons cant be purchased individually. $80 gets you a complete set of blue or red (and/or whtever other colors they eventually release). So yea...

Although, part of me is thinking I should hold out for the Switch XL....

'Member Watchmen!

Man, I've got some catching up to do!

....and by catching up, I mean starting up....as in starting to watch Daredevil season 1. Not to mention all the rest....

Is this going to drop before the Iron Fist series??

Also, button your damn shirt Danny!

Awesome. I'll take Logan 2 and 3 right now thank you. I so stoked for March! I hope Logan is as great as the trailer made it out to be, and I hope it makes a killing at the box office. I put Hugh Jackman's Wolverine on par with RDJ/Tony Stark as actors that have so embodied a character that you simply cannot recast without a complete ground up reboot.

Literally the ONLY reason I would want to see FOX and Marvel come to a similar Sony/Spider-man deal is to see Jackman's Wolverine in the MCU.

Plus, as much lip service as they paid Jackman in Deadpool, he HAS to at least make a cameo in one of the sequels, if not a full on Deadpool/Wolverine pic.

Trailer was the epitome of 'meh' for me and now I'm even more bummed out that 'Prometheus 2' ended up becoming 'Generic Alien Sequel X'. I was definitely not a fan of Prometheus for a multitude of reasons, but it's loose ties to the Alien franchise were not one of my issues. I hated the post credits stinger and would have preferred if they just kept it a separate series in the same universe. Despite my distaste for Prometheus, I was actually looking forward to the adventures of original girl with the dragon tattoo and Michael Fassbender's head in space, and I can't hide the fact that I am sad that that's not what we are getting...

That is sum seriously sick-ass Earthbound swag. Those books look absolutely awesome - what are they? 'Travel Eagleland'? 'You are now Earthbound'? That is a thick-ass 'localization' book. An album for trading cards? How do those cards look? I mean, it's crazy-amazing they're still making stuff like this. That fanzine monthly...? I suppose I could just google - but...

It was all part of a Kickstarter called 'You are Now Earthbound' from a couple of years ago.

Did you not get an email from Mondo or Fangamer about your stuff? Both somehow shipped out the same day (DEC 13) and arrived at the same time for me (DEC 20).

Yea, I got the email from both. Got my Luke Cage LP yesterday, but my YANEB stuff doesn't come in until the 27th

Didn't pay a thing. I think everybody is getting it.

WHAT?? Man, I hope you're right! What backer tier where you? Was it listed on your email from Fangamer?? Double checked and it wasn't on mine. Maybe they are throwing it in as a surprise? (Hopes desperately)

What the hell? I haven't gotten my Mondo Luke Cage LP OR my You Are Now Earthbound backer rewards!

Did you do the $10 add on for the Legends of Localization Newt? I somehow missed the memo and they wouldn't honor it when I tried to add it on later.....bastards. I'll still try to pick it up eventually.

Also, no Backpack Newt?? Pfft! I am disappoint.

Ordered this forever ago. Came in the mail today. It's like a giant, super detailed version of the original playmates figures. I'll take some better pics later.

Also note the articulated turtle penis!

I liked the ambiguity of the original, but I get the feeling from the trailer that this film is going to follow the 'Deckard is Replicant' theory.

I'm sticking with Ragnarok. Goes along with the theory that the soul gem has been hiding in plain sight this whole time...

so, i was debating making an MCU 2099 thread, but i thought i'd try it here!

Marvel and Disney probably have films planned out until the real 2099.

Did you guys notice the engine this is running on, the Decima engine.

From Wikipedia:

In Roman mythology, Decima was one of the Parcae, or the Fates. She measured the thread of life with her rod. She was also revered as the goddess of childbirth.

That Kojima is a cagey one...

Mads and Del Toro confirmed. This is batshit, even by Kojima standards!

The Wolverine is in the top 3 of the X-films, easy.
