Yes, someone... I picked up Freaks & Geeks from the library today and watched the first episode and already really like it. All of that praise wasn't just people blowing hot air, go figure. Some of the jokes and their delivery are just killer.

CloseFriend posted:I loved Ni no Kuni, but I wish it didn't have a radical overabundance of text coupled with making the player navigate it to advance the story. It just got annoying after a while. I don't even think it would be so bad if the compendium was a physical book instead of part of the game, but the early days of PC gaming taught us all that having the player use real-life books as reference doesn't really work. Oh they made a physical book. It was required for the original Japanese Nintendo DS version of the game and came with every copy. The English one was part of the PS3 limited edition.

HUNDU THE BEAST GOD posted:What's ya'lls favorite cold blooded ending to a movie? I'm expecting a lot of The Departed and There Will Be Blood answers but mine has become Countdown To Looking Glass. Being John Malkovich and Kiss Me Deadly. BJM's isn't exactly cold-blooded I guess, but it's disturbing and Björk is used to great effect. I didn't see KMD's ending coming and it's a hell of a thing. MisterBibs posted:As I was getting the mail today, I noticed an open umbrella cartwheeling down the street. I stopped it and waited for a while, in case there was going to be someone chasing after it. After around three minutes, I went back in with it. This is poetry.

I really like Dafoe in Auto Focus. And almost forgot about him in Wild at Heart until you mentioned it. He's a good creep.

Fat Lou posted:So, I started a project where I listen to all the Wu-Tang albums along with all of the solo albums and collaborations, including Cappadonna, chronologically. Being that it is 63 albums/72 hours and 22 minutes worth of music I figure what better time to add even more Wu related media. I am thinking 36th Chamber of Shaolin, Shaolin vs Wu Tang, How High, Ghost Dog, Man with the Iron Fists, and Tom Yum Goong 2. What other Wu Tang related movies do I need? I know I should just flesh it out with a bunch of classic Shaw Brothers movies, but I know literally nothing about those outside of about a dozen random ones I have watched, and only partly remember, from my childhood. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qFDET1ofI_M

I'm way behind on Spielberg, I only saw Close Encounters and the Indiana Jones trilogy for the first time back in February, outside of random snatches flipping through TV over the years. (For some reason it seems like I always would see the ending of Close Encounters.) He and Cameron are incredibly busy people.

Kevar posted:The thing with twitter is you just need to shout into the void. Sometimes it shouts back, but most of the time it doesn't. Mundane thing happened to you and you want to say something snarky about it? Twitter. Drunk and watching a movie? Tweet that poo poo. Someone acted like an rear end in a top hat in a public place you were? Better tweet about it. Really any thought you have that can fit in 140 characters, tweet it. I'm not all that good at twitter and I don't have many followers, but goddammit, I was drunk and felt like sharing a thought about someone who threw my lighter into the woods 5 years ago AND I loving DID. This guy gets it.

Dissapointed Owl posted:It's great, and a big step up from the predecessor Three. Which was re-released after the success of Three... Extremes as Three... Extremes 2, funnily enough. drat, I'd been wondering if Three Extremes 2 was any good. I've had it sitting around forever unwatched. Did not know about the grindhouse-esque retitling; I think I noticed and was confused by the earlier copyrights on the box, though. Three... Extremes is one of the movies I was introduced to via Siskel and Ebert on those rare lazy weekend afternoons I remembered to tune in, years before I started trying to watch as many movies as I could. I should give it a rewatch. Dumplings has the best foley.

The Phoenix Saga was event television for a 10-ish year-old. A story that spanned the whole week! In a cartoon that usually only aired on Saturday! There's something off-putting about the animation style or something in the 90s Spider-man cartoon, but I still enjoyed the hell out of it.

Egbert Souse posted:Tron Legacy isn't a great movie, but neither is its predecessor. Tron just has so much drat heart and imagination in it. Only a handful of the creative liberties taken with what computers are and how they work ring a bit hokey, which is amazing for something steeped in them. The way cutting-edge computer technology is used to create a fantasy about cutting-edge computer technology imbues the whole thing with a sense of wonder. Jurassic Park did the same thing, although a bit less literally.

TwistedLadder posted:One time a cat gave birth to a bunch of kittens on my doorstep, and then abandoned them there in the cold for two days. Only one of the kittens was alive, so I tried to nurse it back to health (Discount Viscount and Vargo were a lot of help). It made it about a day before it passed away in my arms. I'd forgotten about that. Sorry to hear that, CloseFriend. As a fellow crazy cat man I know how rough that's gotta be. One time a huge black cat crawled into our yard, meowling up a storm and breathing heavily, laid down, and died several minutes later. His hindquarters were all wet, possibly with piss or I don't even know or remember. It was obvious he wasn't going to make it, so while it was pretty sad and a bit bizarre there weren't any hopes that were dashed, really.

The hero sat in the most comfortable chair in the world and couldn't get up because it was too comfortable, he would have starved to death or whatever if his willpower wasnt strong enough to get out of the chair. It was in The Tick animated series, at least.
