  1. Knock, Knock (2015) + Likeable main actors and the women are beautiful. + You dont know how it will end. + Thriller or Horror depending on your view. If you think how cruel it is and everything that happens I would say Horror. + Nudity you will see breasts etc. and I certainly pay attention to them. + Realistic. - Well it is not a super movie and a bit simple story. My vote: 7/10 good movie Heartily recommend Knock Knock, you never know how it's going to play out. Unless, you know, you saw the original film Death Game (1977) that Knock, Knock is a remake of. I think most of the film comes over similarly in the remake from the original from what I've read (haven't seen the remake so couldn't confirm) excepting the coda ending.
  2. Yes, the original robot was part of the ship; Dr. Smith sabotaged it to try to destroy the ship (but in so doing, accidentally trapped himself on the ship). In the Episode, "The Mechanical Men", however, it is implied that the Robot may have been built using alien technology (the same technology used for the Mechanical Men) which could also explain some of the unusual abilities B-9 shows throughout the series (although you could handwave most of that by saying "advanced technology", the coincidence of the Mechanical Man remained unresolved, despite The Robot saying it knew why the robots looked like him.)
  3. Not terribly excited over the look of the 'Robot'.
  4. Have you emailed support@obsidian.net? You will need to provide them your identification information as well (the playfab ID) so they can check your specific account. Since I don't have the PC version, someone else might post if there's something else or something alternative you'll need to email them with.
  5. Delta was founded in Lousiana in the 1920s. They moved to Atlanta in the 1940s.
  6. This thread is overdue closing due to length. If someone wishes to discuss this topic they may start another one, but its clear the utility of this discussion is at its end.
  7. Yeah but Hellboy 2 wasn't just about the fish man lovin'. There was also the demon guy's relationship problems with the pyrokinetic woman and the new boss who was having trouble controlling his employees. And the evil elf dude trying to loose an unstoppable army on the world bit.
  8. The Amphibian Man movie - and again I know of the movie and the book but haven't seen or read them - has been accused of having a Romeo and Juliet doomed romance; I don't know if that carries over from the book or not. Arguably girl-loves-"monster" as a concept can be traced back to at least La Belle et la Bête for fiction, but of course there are earlier folk tales that could be considered antecedents as well...
  9. There's also an assumption inherent in the comments that divorce is only ever instigated by the wife in a marriage who is leaving an abusive relationship with a husband who is "awful people". Its a reductive argument to the point of pointlessness.
  10. I know it only be reputation, but I'm pretty sure the film you reference is Amphibian Man (Человеκ-aмфибия) based on a book by the same name; "The Sea Devil" was the hit song from it. From the sound of it to me, and I haven't see it either, The Shape of Water is one part Amphibian Man, one part Creature of the Black Lagoon (or more specifically, Revenge of the Creature where the Creature falls for a girl, albeit with less romantic results).
  11. Lets try and keep the thread from going too far off topic, yes? Way Off Topic would be a better forum to discuss things not terribly related to PoEII.
  12. IIRC the ending fell flat for me. Haven't seen it since I watched it in the theaters though.
  13. I'm pretty sure that so far DC's cumulative effort is akin in 'dragon movie' terms to Eragon (2006) - critically panned, mildly successful returns on budget.
  14. Icelandic language battles threat of 'digital extinction'
  15. IIRC Ayla's dino tail ability was set so damage was increased as Ayla's HP decreased.
  16. Won't someone think of the larva?
  17. Annihilation (2018) - The kind of science fiction tale that presents a cognizant story but leaves it to the audience to try to understand what it meant rather than beating you over the head with a particular solution. Spends a lot of time with the characters, has some great visuals and the occasional tense moments of suspense. I rather liked it.
  18. Hmm, I always thought the Avengers: Britain was a different group...
  19. I dunno I hear the 2004 pilot The Robinsons: Lost in Space is pretty dire. And while the 1998 movie had a lot of problems (most specifically miscasting IMO John Robinson), I actually liked it a lot more than I really should have.
  20. I'm keeping a wait and see attitude on it. But they created a nice visual look, at least. That said I'm worried over what B-9 will look like....
  21. This guy? I think for first recorded school shooting, its Heinz Schmidt who killed 5 children in a Breman, Germany school in 1913. Whitman is the first school shooting I can recall for the US, but there were two school bombings (Andrew Kehoe and the Bath School in 1927 and Paul Orgeron and Poe Elementary in 1959) that preceded Whitman's bell tower attacks of '66

  23. Closed for length. New Thread
  24. The new thread for posting funny stuff. Previous thread ended with this:
  25. First computer RPG I played was Phantasie in 1985 (or 87?) for the Commodore 64. I had a bit of background on the basics of RPGs from having played D&D. Still had to figure out the interface - the game itself was a lot more complex than anything else I'd tried to date on the 2600 or C64. Eventually got the hang of it though. At this point its been so long I can't really tell you what was difficult per se. There was an initial learning curve of what I could do, but that was a looooong time ago. I liked the genre enough to try some other games I could get my hands on (I remember Ultima and Questron II (?) and the roguelike Sword of Fargoal and the action RPG Times of Lore). Weirdly the main WIzardry series missed me entirely until people here convinced me to try Wizardry 8.
