Drifter

We need epic levels of both ham and cheese... Raul Julia/M.Bison levels with a heaping helping of Brian Blessed in his prime!

The voice actor in the 90s cartoon was pretty decent, and once Julian McMahon went full ham he was passable but I heard that the latest guy, Toby Kebbell, was just a travesty- worse part of that shitpile of a movie I've read.

Doom has been one of the worst portrayed villains in cinema history; no one has ever gotten it right.

It's a problem you can see in the first two Star Trek reboot films he did or how about the last JJ Abrams Star Wars movie... Rey and Finn were stuck on the crippled Falcon for almost 2 days, and did you enjoy characters watching Starkiller base blow up a star system- from a different star system- in real time- with their naked eyes? Were you aware that the main characters crossed the entire length of the galaxy, twice? Abrams sucks at pacing his story, especially when it concerns showing characters to be traveling.

Abrams has a problem with conveying elapsed time and distances in space... it will probably be a good film but have a couple of moments where you're going to be scratching your head going WTF when the hell did they get there and how the hell are those things so close to each other.

spam-bot makers can sue for libel?

so, if they hadn't used a translation app to decipher the signals, it would have been okay?

Let me know when the next fund drive is, I'll see about sending more... I gots plans ya know; I'm gonna give Tony Stark a run for his money (Mentally-unsound, Marginally-well-to-do, Shut-in, Philanthropist!) I've decided that when my car goes it's going to NPR... you'll just have to settle for cash.

Youtube-d a few of her videos... I have some constructive criticism... She could to do more AAA action games or just more familiar games in general; I've never even heard of most of what she was playing. That's not in and of itself a bad thing but if it's an indie or obscure game she needs to do a better job of selling what she's playing; she could explain some of the games background, maybe run it as if it was a tutorial, silence is not a Youtuber's friend. Staying away from RPGs would also be advisable unless she wanted to MST3K the dialogue. Video editing would also help, she'd be able to concentrate on showing her highlights instead of having us spending the first 20 minutes watching her adjust her character's appearance on a 2 hour Mass Effect 1 video. Hope I wasn't too critical.

nothing wrong with a happy ending so long as it's earned... but ask yourself how the real war of the roses ended... it could just fizzle out as all sides just exhaust themselves.

Let me know when they become available.

Following Liam Neeson into the Taken genre

I sometimes watch youtube gamers play, SeaNanners is one I check out from time to time, he's good, has fun, and his regular partners in crime are interesting, especially the one that can do impressions (having Morgan Freeman narrate how he was coming to kill them was awesome). Rabbit's Respawn is another one, he's got insane Stealth Run videos for a bunch of games, Dishonored, Metal Gear, Far Cry, Uncharted, any game with stealth options really. I'd be interested to see what your friend has on Youtube. How do we find her?

i really couldn't tell the difference, more laid back and his subdued exclamations gave him away as a different voice actor, but it was something I had to listen for specifically.

Teen Titans Go just had an 80s-tastic 5 part miniseries. While the show is enthralling to my little boy I find it barely entertaining, but these episodes caught my attention. I was having childhood flashbacks. They apparently found a real but generally obscure and catchy song that they felt encompassed the 80s, called 'The Night Begins to Shine,' a few seasons ago for some Cyborg-centric plot and it caught on like a wildfire. They hunted the old band down to put a special together and also got Ceelo Green, Fallout Boy, and Puffy AmiYumi to cover the first song, and got a couple more of this band's songs for the mini series, I found this one to be my favorite.

This popped up just today when I read that Ed Skrein (Ajax from Deadpool) pulled out from the Hellboy reboot due to the character he was cast as being Asian. Got me thinking about whitewashing in general... it doesn't bother me as much as it should, probably. Talent is as talent does. I also appreciate some of the creative ways writers/producers will tackle the issue or justify their decisions (It's fun to watch the BS fly). Poking fun at pointless or misplaced outrage is also quite entertaining. My take on the usual suspects: Tropic Thunder (the joke went over the offended people's collective heads), Doctor Strange (The Ancient One was a huge offensive stereotype to begin with, and so is the basic origin story, so they manufactured a different outrage as a bait-and-switch to cover the cliché of the white savior, again), The Great Wall (Not a whitewash, it was a contrived and soulless money grab, but Damon's character was clearly conceived and written as an out of his depths European and clueless foreign barbarian), Thom Cruz's The Last Samurai (Not a whitewash either, the last samurai from the title wasn't Cruise's character but the actual samurai played by Watanabe, I'd almost say it was cultural appropriation but Cruise's character stayed IN japan and found life there to be better than his experience in western culture, I'd say it was cultural assimilation), 21 (total whitewash, take a plot based on a true story, market the film as such, and use a bunch of white actors for "marketability" because there wasn't a Caucasian in the real story, ugh), Gods of Egypt (this was just an all around offensive movie, like a whole cast of star wars Gungans doing Shakespeare; could have just re-named everyone and everything and had it as just a generic fantasy movie, but they had to latch onto some random pantheon and the Greeks were played out, sad), Ghost in the Shell (Scarlett Johansson's Major, not so much; she's a full body prosthetic, she can look like whomever, and they went that angle too with having her pre-prosthetic self played by a young Japanese actress; it would have been an awesome Easter egg to have had a line in the film specifically state that her appearance is based off a popular movie actress from the turn of the 21st century; however, absolutely every other character that isn't a full body cyborg in this film being white, yeah, that's a whitewash), Finally, Star Trek Into Darkness (Difficult to say for this one with Cumberbatch's Khan; the original series they had a Mexican with a ponytail portraying a superman from India, not too PC there, and they did infer that Cumberbatch's Khan had his appearance surgically altered to help hide his identity and the tie-in comic actually has his original appearance resembling Montalban; lets just say that the deus ex sanguis thing was really, stupid stupid and move on).

Lucas turned those lines of hyperbolae on Tarkin's part and tragic certainty by Yoda into the characters simply playing with semantics. Force users, ex-jedi, sith, and the like don't count as 'true Jedi.' Strange though how Tarkin was talking more about the general religion of The Force while Yoda was referring more so about the Jedi and the whole order. It was Rogue One that had the most obvious portrayal of belief in the Force actually being a codified religion and how the Jedi Order was viewed very much as just devout warrior monks. The other films just skirted around it, and once you saw the practical applications of the force, it ceased being about belief in general and became more about morality. And Lucas was always fucking with the concept in general and was never consistent with his portrayals of the force at all (testing positive for 'Jedi' like it's some kind of VD, fucking Midichlorians). So who knows if they're ever going to tackle the issue of other Jedi or even just how many other force users are out there in canon media.

Ugh, I can't stand licorice.

Check should be in the mail by the end of the day. Don't worry, I didn't lick any part of it.

Tarkin probably knew exactly who Vader was, as they made a point of Anakin and him being buddy, buddy in a couple episodes of CGI Clone Wars; them both being 'close friends' with Palpatine and how they got along a little too well, even when Tarkin was being an insufferable ass to the rest of the Jedi. But in the cannon Rebles series there were a lot of ex-Jedi working for the empire, not sure how that tidbit was well known to the general population, and if it was, people would just assume Vader was one of the 'reformed' Jedi who was now working for 'galactic peace.'

nice!

nothing on the chad vader reference? Well, I thought it was pithy...
