  1. The policy is I only repost it once for every re-released Zelda game you repurchase. I already posted it for Wind Waker HD back in January. Once Majora's Mask gets remade for the WiiU, or the trilogy of CD-i games gets a Virtual Console release, I'm reporting it.

  2. I also really like Laputa: Valley of the Wind, but your best bet is either Princess Mononoke or Spirited Away. If you want something with a very Alice in Wonderland vibe, go with Spirited Away. Princess Mononoke is better if you want something with a more epic feel, like...a cross between Braveheart and Lord of the Rings, for lack of a better way of explaining it. Totoro is great, but it might give Eamonn a false impression regarding how kiddy his films are. It is his most youth-friendly movie.

  3. Tickets go on sale for Ft Lauderdale shows in about a week. I have been avoiding hearing the songs and learning about the story as much as possible so I can watch it fresh. I suspect I'll want to get the original cast recording of the songs afterwards.

  4. Before the Affleck announcement, he (Karl Urban, played the new Dredd and Bones in the new Star Treks) and Jon Hamm (Don Draper) were the two names most being floated around the internet to play Bats.

     

    As for Murdock, if Nicholas Custer is not available (on account that there's a new Zelda game AND a new Pikmin game coming out the month they were gonna start shooting), then I guess...Casey Affleck?

  5. This link says he's contracted for "at least six appearances (and possibly more)," so I guess it has an option WB can exercise to get even more appearances after 6 without allowing him to extort them for more money. It also says Affleck is signed on for 13 appearances. Is that a record? I don't even think Sam Jackson contract to play Nick Fury was for that many appearances. I hope Affleck's deal gives him a percentage on the back end for all those appearances.
  6. Well, when I said it was painful to watch, I was meant it was awkward because interviews like this a supposed to be cordial and light-hearted with amusing anecdotes and playful ribbing and banter, and there was clearly some annoyed, passive-aggressive dislike, first coming from Beckham towards Stewart, but then from Stewart to Beckham. I don't know much about Victoria Beckham, and I wouldn't say this interview is says much about her one way or another, but it clearly was awkward.

  7. I've been going through the season now, I'm about halfway through, and this show consistently makes me laugh. Disney was slow to renew it, so there will probably be a long wait for Season 2. I recommend people give this show a shot.

  8. on BB:

     

    i was telling panch how much i dig the shoutout happening out of sight, and lydia (?) being walked through it without having to see it...the show amps up the on-screen action when it wants to in careful, controlled bouts (like gus' exit), but the analogy for me is that even as he gets darker/more destructive, Walt is made to witness very little of the ripples of destruction his actions cause - i mean, here, he thinks he's out of the game & is totally unaware of this happening because of his current situation, just like say the earlier incident with the two psycho brothers that waited for him in the shower & went off to feed on Hank without him even knowing how close he came.

     

    i thought lydia's scene kinda channeled some of that: lives (however shitty) are being horrifically ended/destroyed, but you the audience need not dwell on that; let's just transition to the next thing

     

     

     

    I thought Lydia's refusal to see the bodies was a comment or the nature of corporate ruthlessness, where Lydia is doing the same thing as any other high level corporate executive, doing what has to be done for the bottom line, destroying and taking lives, but willfully refusing to look at the collateral damage of her actions. But you're right, Walt has been equally oblivious to many of the consequences of his actions, it's just not due to him covering his eyes, literally or figuratively.
