Yep. I saw an interview with Travis Willingham and Laura Bailey once and they said they had to sign NDAs for freakin Street Fighter. Willingham didn't even know what project or role he was auditioning for until about six or seven lines into his test read when he stumbled across "Sonic Boom!" and realized he was auditioning for Col. Guile.

Everything has an NDA attached to it these days.

Tragically, the Steam version is reportedly fixed up with revised grammar and writing. I haven't confirmed this myself, but I think this is the case.

I know for sure at least that he had the MS Paint monsters re-drawn completely.



They don't look GOOD, but they're not bad enough to be funny anymore.

But the terrible story and underlying awfulness is all still there! ...it's not what it once was if it was finally proofread and un-MS Paint-ed though.


I've thought about it! Sure, I'll do it, just because it won't take long to put together, and there is an occasion for it.

I hope Todd does another Top 10 of a random year again, I hope it's from the 90's too, such fertile ground there.

I have to say, I actually like Dark Horse and it's video. It's just a lot stronger than Roar was.

What Infamous Sphere said. There are US releases of the first few seasons I believe, but I think some of the episode orders are messed up. Mostly I bought the German DVDs because it's the only version with the music as it was aired. The US releases ran into a lot of copyright issues and had to replace it. Plus the German ones are complete and it was easier. Turn off the German audio track and all you gotta deal with is German credit text.

I think that's the reason the show Werewolf was yanked from DVD suddenly. It was really close to release, there was DVD art and it was listed on Amazon and everything, but suddenly it was gone.

I notice this happens with UK releases as well. I believe the BBC can use whatever music it wants, but when you import it the rights are different? For example, the UK version of Being Human changed some of the tracks for the DVD. Not sure if it's all versions or just the US release.

Chef Boyardee does look extremely evil, I'd have to agree. I do not know *anyone* in Australia who has ever professed to eating/cooking canned ravioli, since ravioli is usually something you get from the refrigerated section, near the dips, and cook yourself at home. I had no idea that canned ravioli even existed until I read some random American kids' book, and my reaction was something similar to WHY.

Wasn't the response to DmC pretty much universally positive beyond the fanboy whinging?

RBX posted:

DmC was a bad game reboot of a great series, it bombed, sold less then 4 did (The least in the entire series. 4 Actaully had high/the highest numbers for the series) and Capcom has avoided it ever since.

It was only made because the DMC team was making Dragons Dogma.

Most of the people that like it ironically never player the series before.

I meant to say bad reboot, not game.

Yes, VLC can play anything. I use it to play region 2 DVDs and the like.

Guess I'm alone in my loving Man of Steel and finding it the best Superman movie so far. I think the only uniting point in Man of Steel is that no one likes Jonathan Kent's Elijah departure.

Well, as far as MoS goes, I thought it was a bit grey and drab-looking; not enough bright colours. That's really a matter of personal preference, of course.

Metal Loaf posted:

Fair enough. You know, to each his own.

Although I wouldn't say I dislike them (I certainly don't dislike them on principle or anything like that), I do tend to be fairly sceptical about that kind of thing. To me, they often (not always! And they can certainly be very good on their own merits) seem to come across as guys who are embarassed by what they liked when they were kids and think they need to make it "mature" (a concept of which they seldom seem to have a particularly nuanced grasp) so they can justify their enjoyment of it.

I guess that's part of the reason why I have a problem with stuff like Identity Crisis; it comes off (I acknowledge that I'm probably imputing intentions where I shouldn't) like the guys who made that wanted to "improve" the Silver Age by retroactively inserting raping and brainwashing into it so they could feel more comfortable about liking it as adults.

Is trans people being "evil and scary" a thing? I can't think of anything that had a transexual villain. I mean, besides Buffalo Bill.

Ah well, at least it’s better than ‘Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen’, if that hunk of garbage (easily Michael Bay’s worst film) is even worthy of being considered as a yardstick to measure crap.

Joe really has gotten leaps and bounds better since his stupid bullshit with Geoff and that horrible interview where he tried to represent all gamers or whatever.

quote:

He gets a lot of credit from me for just basically saying "quit being misogynist manchildren you assholes and I'm ashamed some of you are fans of mine." It was in more words than that but it was the general idea.

Tracula posted:

Oh I'm not on the Dewrito Pope's side about the interview, I think that Joe just bungled it and made more of an rear end of himself than anything he was trying to accomplish. It was just at THAT moment Joe was pretty unprofessional and unprepared. I do recall the follow up interview he did going much, much better though.

FlamingLiberal posted:

Unfortunately that happens a lot with those kinds of things, but after watching that interview I felt like Geoff heavily contributed to it being a trainwreck.

Tracula posted:

I'll admit I was being pretty goony about Joe's interview. He was caught off guard and it really does sound like it was kind of a poo poo situation all around the first time.

Man, I really need to do another Korine film. If only to get a better final word on him than "that man is a doer of things."

DStecks posted:

What is he talking about?

DStecks posted:

I always felt like that was kinda the open secret of the show. Most of the movies aren't truly terrible, just stupid, because every once and a while they'd watch a truly awful film *cough*colemanfrancis*cough* and even with the jokes it would still be nearly unwatchable.

3) There's a lot (potentially) to say about Gamora from a backstory perspective, but the framing of the movie forces her into a stereotype and buries any potentially interesting motivation as hard as it possibly can. Sexual jokes are made about her constantly even though her character is not promiscuous by the greatest stretch of the imagination, but the implication is that those sexual jokes are totally fine and Starlord's gonna bag dat booty eventually! And he will! Gamora obviously falls for him immediately and her ice-cold bitch heart is melted by his charm, but she pretends this isn't the case. There's no real convincing chemistry there, but you know, women. The camera leers over her multiple times throughout the movie, and even when fighting she poses more underwear model-like than any Marvel movie heroine I've yet seen. Then there's the entire issue of her obsession with Thanos. It could be a genuine vendetta stemming from rage and grief, but it's framed as...obsession with killing a man, presumably in a very sexy and cool way. She's completely detached, but if you melt her cold heart, she'll be wild in the sack someday! I also found all the scenes playing up her naivete about pop culture more creepy than funny because they were sexualized too, like "aw the naive little kitten underneath the violent exterior!" Bleh. She is a Good Space Slut.

4) Benicio del Toro's slave girl who has this exotic, servile vibe and is introduced solely to make a spectacle of her foolish death...but not before objectifying her in that cute little outfit! You're supposed to like del Toro's character. The fact that he has women in cages is just a "quirk" of his. They're specimens! Like the animals and plants and stuff! The gist of the scene is that she was stupid enough to grab the stone even though they were explicitly told it would destroy them. The explosion is presented as this big awesome KABOOM setpiece. There's obviously meant to be no sympathy for the bubbly slave girl. She is a Dumb Bitch.
