  1. Conscription is garbage unless sued as a last resort. Why would the army want someone who doesn't want to be there? That's how you get peons who shoot up their own comrades. Plus, i don't believe in slavery and conscription *is* slavery.
  2. "You see him as bland, where he's more a force of nature who lives purely by a set of white/black rules and never compromises them." I get that but it was boring. There's been plenty of characters with that description in stories that are done much better. "You see the villainess as one note and boring, and I think they captured the idea of that type of gang leader quite well. Former prostitute turned underworld crimelord by being smarter and more vicious then anyone around her. There might be certain elements of cliche to it, but that doesn't make it one note." She was one note. There was no depth. And, she certainly wasn't smart. Vicious, yes, but not smart. I liked the movie but it simply wasn't as enjoyable as the Stallone version. I do like the bigotry used when comes to so called 'British' material.. oh, you didn't like it b/c you justb don't udnerstand. I get it just fine. Some British humour, for example, is funny. Others is not. It has nothing to do with 'not getting it'.
  3. "See now Volo. this is what makes you a troll's troll. A willingness to say or do quite literally _anything_ just to provoke a response. You poor deranged bastard." What you see as trolling, you coward, is what I see as simply telling the truth. What's so special about the new Dredd? Yes, it was more serious than the Stallone version but there was nothing special about it. Well, except the newbie who was a better sidekick than the joke in Stallone's. Butm, the main villainess was one note and boring. Dredd himself was bland as can be and as the main character he should be interesting. He wasn't. I'll take the over the top Stallone version any day. though neither are all that greta to begin with. Stallone Dredd = 7/10 New Dredd = 6/10
  4. "Did you see the new Dredd movie? It was much better than the Stallone version." No.
  5. This is the internet. Nobody is mature - espicially on a forum like this. I'll also riducle the juvenile prudes who cry over a little skin or oversized b00bies. Talk about sad, pathetic, misappropriated lack of morals.
  6. SUPERman. 'Nough said.
  7. "I think it's less a fear of boobs and more a better grounding in reality and respect." Hiding boobs is not realistic. Women in real life don't hide their boobs just like men who ahve them don't hide their muscles. This whining about misgony is nonsense and has nothing to do with 'protecting' women. Women slobber over men they find 'sexy' all the time. How else does one explain the existence of boy bands, harlequin romances, and the like? L0L FFS, Conan the Barbarian - probably one of the most popular male figures in fantasy goes around shirtless all the time. I don't see anyone whining about how that iss exist against men. Boobs are good. Period. On top of that, plenty of women love b00bs too so it's steroetypical and sexist to make it sound like women hate b00bs. That is not true. Only puritan controlling judgemental punks hate b00bs.
  8. "so, this Great Gatsby thing. never read the book, of course, but heard good things about the movie. then read a review, and the reviewer states that in the book it's implied that the main character is black, so knowing this gives a new dimension to a lot of scenes (the racist remarks made by other characters for example). and he says that if you're going to watch the movie just imagine that there's an african-american actor in DiCaprio's place, and the movie will make a lot more sense that way how much truth is there to this?" This is the first I've heard of this sort of thing. I doubt it's true. probably someone's wishful dream. That said, there was a a Gatsby film version with a mostly black cast called G. Haven't seen it though. The racist remarks tend to come from the main antagonist and is mostly directed in general not anyone specific. P.S. Crying that Superman is 'overpowered' is extreme weaksauce and is simply a case of old fashion **** envy. Get over it.
  9. If you want the original... go watch/read it. P.S. This has chance to be a fantastic Superman. Potentially better than the original movie.
  10. "But yeah, by the end of the movie you pretty much loathe all the characters in it bar one." Eh. The only ones I end up hating wholeheartedly are Wilson and Tom. The others don't do anything worth 'loathing'. But, otherwise, agreed.
  11. Hotel Translyvania: Eh. Meh. Bleh.
  12. "Tried to watch some more episodes of Elementary. When I discovered what they did with the Moriarty chr, I turned it off. I'm all for equality and new modern interpretations and all, but if you're going to make Watson female, Moriarty female (and have Irene Adler = Moriarty (!) ), and Sherlock is a lusty dude who can fall in love, just make a new mystery show with new characters and stop calling him Sherlock Holmes." These types of complaints are silly. If you just want the original just read the original story/watch the first version. The whole point of remakes should be about changing it up and taking a different look at the same material. If it was the exact same thing there'd be no point. P.S. I don't watch the show but that sentiment of yours is common and silly it needs to be thrown in the fire of sill shames. .
  13. HIP HIP HOORAY! Getting squashed like losers against the Bruins was worth it sicne it emans we are free from that piece of craps. TORTUREHCIPS IS GONE! About 4 years late, and a heck of a lot of damage. How many previously good players' careers did he dismantle/ set back during his time? Probably more than any other coach in history. Also, we might even lose Lundqvist after next season. He wasn't too happy with what happened and start talking about his time with the Rangers in the past tense and said he would 'talk to his agent'. It seems benching Richards was a miscalculations as the team did not like that at all. I said it many times before and I'll say it one last time. Tortuella doesn't care about the team. He doesn't even care about winning. He cares about power, control, and his own ego. A weight is lifted from the shoulders of Ranger fans everywhere! Now, i cna cheer for them wholeheartedly again!
  14. "I think one thing I like about Sather has been his drafting record the past few years. Lundqvist is what, a seventh round pick??" I think that says more how bad/hit and miss scouting actually is than how good he scouted. Afterall, who were the 6 (or whatever) Ranger picks pre 6th round?
  15. 'Rangers money' doesn't exist now 'cause of the cap. They can't really spend more than other teams. Sather doesn't bother me as much b/c while he's made his misteps (Drury and Gomez); he's done well bring players to NY... but then Torturechips proceeds to destroy them.. they get blamed.. they get sent away.. and they seem to rebound.
  16. Irrelevanmt. They took a huge step back from last season. Teams are supposed to improve not go backwards. Plus, Torturechips is the 99% reason why they suck.
  17. I really wish they'd ****can Torturechips but they'll probably just blame the players. I heard they might 'buy out' Richards. L0L
  18. Getting back to GG and its music 9since I can't stop talking about it).. this quote from a random youtube commenter points out why I feel the music is ffective depsite it not being atcual 20s era music 9though the movie does have some jazz style tunes): "I think contemporary hip hop music stays true to the spirit of the story. Jazz-Age music would sound quaint, charming and nostalgic. But Gatsby's swinging lifestyle wasn't quaint or charming or nostalgic. It was sexy and dangerous and wild and 'of the moment'. Contemporary music is a smart way to pull viewers into the 'scandalous' world of the Roaring Twenties." P.S. I'm gonna see the film for the 3rd time tomorrow 'cause it's just tooo sweet,.
  19. Nah. This is just Torts' way to to show whose ballz. Torts has a habit of destroying players' careers. He never takes any blame. I hope the Rangars fire him. The guy is garbage. Jagr has yet to score a goal yet you dont' see his coach throwing him under the bus. Case closed.
  20. And, it is one of the best movie soundtracks ever and fits the movie perfectly.
  21. "I'm still waiting." It's coming... I just needed to rewatched the '74 version Great Gatsby. Outside of some pleasantness, it was rather drab. I like Robert Redford overall, but he was rather subpar in this one. Fia's Daisy was hit or miss. Tom was a joke. I give thumbs up to the Wilson character who was actually gvien some screen time. Overall, i'd give the movie a 6.5/10
  22. "Perhaps a Bioware/Obsidian combo of Kotor 3 could still be possible in the future?" I doubt it. This isn't the Doc's BIO any longer. The ties between the two companies are likely broken since the ones that Mr. U is buddies with ar eno longer in control of BIO. BIO is EA. If Obsidian has any chance to work with BIO it is 100% up to EA. There is no reason for EA to get Obsidian to make a potential KOTOR3 when they have BIO as part of their company.
  23. Can someone show caption a pic of an injured player during an NHL game and use the same 'useless' crap underneath it? In otherword,s [ I don't agree with babaganoosh13 ]. And, i say that not caring about ANY international tournament.
  24. Why would you watch a movie that tells you the ending in the actual title?
