Ah.

"pay to win"?

I can't imagine a tv series of this being even halfway decent, especially if it's on a regular network channel (as opposed to HBO or something).

Oh christ...

<grumble> I like the book and I dislike very much that a movie that has litle to do with the plot bears to same name. I know it's stupid and petty to base my decision for not watching the film on this, but that's how I feel. Meh.

They should have called it something else. Absolutely anything else.

Agreed. Yeah, I was a little more disappointed and angry with each hint that what they were making was not World War Z, but a summer blockbuster about a world-wide zombie outbreak. That sucks. I can get over that. What really pisses me off is that they kept the name. I'd give the movie a chance if the name were different. Keep the name, and you make it a slap in the face that ensures that I'll not fork over any money for this movie or anything attached to it.

You guys listened to the WWZ audiobook right? As long as that exists (Unabridged version is coming soon!) I think that will be the closest we get to a faithful adaptation of some sort.. A straight, live action movie adaptation would work alot better if made into say, a 4 part miniseries in a faux history channel type thing... History channel could even air it back to back with Mermaid Harpooners!

The audiobook (while abridged) was wonderful. With an actual cast, and a different voice actor for each interviewee, this is the closest we'll likely come to an actual WWZ movie adaptation.

Heh heh heh...

Christ, I've been waiting a while for that episode.

Oh, I see how it is, messaging me just before the collection plate starts being passed around. I.. I thought you actually missed me, but no... you just wanted another wallet at the keyboard!

Damn you, Nick! You can't just play with hearts like that!

What part of being able to out-survive the rest of the cast (which in itself doesn't say much considering how incompetent some of them were) makes you so sure that she'd be able to take out someone who was raised to fight the Empire and has at the very least force-backed insight in a minute?

Obviously, you are underestimating Leia and overestimating Ripley. Don't get me wrong, she's a survivor, but I don't think it'd go quite the way you're thinking.

A New Hope or Empire Strikes back, yeah. But further than that?

Here's to you, Siskel and Ebert:

Man, just the other day I heard that he was having a relapse with cancer, but it sounded kinda hopeful, with him planning on bringing back At the Movies. May he rest in peace.

she can scarcely do shit without han, and is best known for prancing in a small golden bikini.

 

Ripley handled nature's greatest non-predator killers, several times, even when space marine battalions couldn't. this isn't even a competition; Leia would get stomped out before fixing her hair buns.

 

make an FC thread if you want! anyway my entry:

Leia can handle herself, you're selling her short. That said, she ain't no Ripley. Now, if you want an interesting match, I'd go for Ellen Ripley Vs Sarah Conner (from T2, not T1, obviously). That would be interesting.

 

Anyway, my cmd v (cause I'm on a Mac) :

You're both selling her short. She was raised among the rebels, already able to handle firearms in the first movie. By the last film She's infiltrating Jabba's palace to rescue Han, choking out Jabba, and part of a strike team deployed to Endor to enable a fleet to destroy the partially rebuilt Death Star. Add to that her latent ability with the force, and she's a serious danger.

If you're worried about money going to him, there's always a library, or borrowing it from friends...

Back before I read A Dance With Dragons.

Just a hunch.

Would revealing your suspicions give any spoilers to books 4 or 5? If not, let 'em fly.

 

 

My initial guess is it was one of the women from the Acorn hall where Arya is taken by Lord Baelric's men. However, I don't recall a blonde haired woman undressing anyone.

 

 

 

Also, who do you think that girl in green was being undressed? It almost looked like Theon's sister was the one pulling the dress off her.

 

I have my suspicions, but it all depends on the pacing.

 

But Dany never had her dragons on chains in the book right? It makes sense, but I thought I remember her saying throughout the wars on the slave cities that the dragons were too small to do any harm on the battle field.

 

Also, who's that getting tortured on the X? Jaime by Vargo Hoat and the Brave Companions?

 

 

Question one:

Question two:

Blocked by Disney.

That was tastefully done. It could work, as long as there's no talking...

 

It's nice to see Calvin not pissing on things.

Agreed, though it'd be difficult to do much with no talking. Or do you mean just no audio dialogue?

Wasn't sure if we had a topic for that Donkey Kong hack, but here's one for Legend of Zelda.

Feel free to move this if there's a better thread for it.

Has the ability to pop open corked bottles without even touching them (or losing the contents). Unfortunately, the Phantom Corkscrew's powers are completely dependent on no-one in the room knowing of the true identity of this mysterious party-goer (and thus, receives far fewer invitations than he or she would otherwise).
