  1. am admitted interested not in lara croft/tomb raider, but if a filmmaker is planning on doing multiple actiony movies with the same attractive female lead, it makes sense to start with a younger actress. gotta plan for future, no? hope for three movies and you are gonna be looking at at least five years between filming o' the first and third flick, no? HA! Good Fun! Indeed, which is why everyone was putting money on 24 year old Daisy Ridley.
  2. Given that they're planning to follow re-boot Lara, I think looking young will be a plus.
  3. Jolie was 26. Not much difference there, to be honest. I've liked Vikander in everything I've seen, she's a strong actress (even if Daisy Ridley seemed to be more like Reboot Lara made flesh).
  4. Watching this video is kind of depressing.
  5. Opening naming suggestions to the public - particularly in a case like this - is probably an exercise in fruitless endeavors. Amid the noms they got not listed in the screenshot: Adam Lanza School of Fun Austin Taliban Elementary School Boaty McBoatface Elementary Coach Tom Landry Elementary Dwayne Johnson Elementary Flava Flav Elementary Forgetting Your Past Dooms You To Repeat It Elementary Fuccon Elementary Generic School Name Hypothetical Perfect Person Memorial Elementary James Earl Ray Elementary Jefferson Davis Elementary John Bell Hood Elementary Orenthal James Simpson Elementary Rudolph Hess Elementary Schooly McSchoolerson Schooly McSchoolerton The Elementary Formerly Known as Robert E.

  6. Obs didn't have a forum for NWN2 when the game was new...why would they have one once the game got old?
  7. Imagine if all those 80's action movies took the sensibilities of the audience in the Soviet Union seriously. Hollywood as a whole - due to the less internationally focused business climate and the cold war - probably had little interest in the theater markets in the USSR or China.
  8. Yeah, it really is a two way situation. If either side can't let go, can't accept the things that can't change, can't accept that sometimes compromise doesn't mean 50-50 but you don't get what you want and they do (or vice versa) then the relationship is going to derail, in my experience.
  9. Bah. It is boring if you get on all the time. Must be my childhood but I always find people that act as if fights in a relationship are bad. Is a good stress reliever and hardens one up. Fighting /= plotting death That's a highly illogical claim to make without meeting everyone. Or at least a sensor reading. FWIW taking the topic mildly seriously...the ideal partner is going to be the one who you like enough to live with the stuff you don't like.
  10. You two might want to consider dating outside the League of Assassins.

  12. Twin Peaks revival cast list is...big. http://welcometotwinpeaks.com/news/twin-peaks-cast-list/ Or a tabled version - http://tvline.com/2016/04/25/twin-peaks-revival-cast-list-showtime/
  13. Looks like "We don't care" to me. Not a Braille expert though.
  14. Yes, I am suggesting that. Because the problem is (as they always are) bigger than any single "magic bullet" solution can ever manage to solve. Making things illegal only affects the people who care about the legality of what they're doing. In the case of mass shootings, the fact that homicide is already illegal wasn't a deterrent; it is highly unlikely that making it also illegal to have a gun would have any significant effect. Solving the problem of mass shootings is only possible when society as a whole starts looking at the multiple factors that lead people to the point that mass death seems to be a logical choice, and working back from that trying to mitigate those factors. "Magic bullets" need not apply. I'm not convinced the only viable reason for wanting stricter gun control is that it would prevent mass shootings, though. I'm pretty sure that the line of discussion leading to my post was specific about gun control as a way to solve mass shootings, though.
  15. Boring is worse than bad, IMO. Bad can be entertaining. Boring can't.

    Alls I'm saying is that you treat people differently based on their gender. For shame BVC, for shame. The only way to right this wrong and rebalance the universe is for you to to go out this weekend and blow a wad of cash on some strippers. Sorry it had to come to this. Well gfted1 lets be honest....can you give me what a stripper can give me....if you can I'll be super nice to you, trust me I have a sales role and can be very obsequious when required D:
  18. GD please understand the whole world who understands gun control and in many cases has worst crime than the USA thinks the USA needs more gun control.....its really strange for outsiders People on these talk shows say things like " why do the Americans need so many guns " ....I explain to them one of the reasons is " many Americans really think the day may come when the Federal government will come for them and they want to be properly protected " In most of the mass shootings we've had, either the weapons were bought legally and the person passed all existing background checks or the guns were received illegally circumventing any checks and balances in place. While some regulation might make a mass shooting less likely in the case of legal attainment, not even an out and out ban would stop people from being able to obtain illegal firearms without some massive changes in the nation and a complete loss of privacy with respect search laws.

    Like sands through the hourglass, so are The Days of Our Lives
  20. Damn. I thought we were electing a President of the Way Off Topic Forum. Disappointing everyone, disappointing.
  21. It was Paul Levitz's second stint on the title and he proved a master if juggling story lines. A real highlight in the series.
  22. You mean when they terraformed Daxam to be a giant stone Darkseid head? Yeah.

    CNN says a family member confirmed it: http://www.cnn.com/2016/04/21/entertainment/prince-estate-death/ Publicist also confirms according to Minnesota Star Tribune: http://www.startribune.com/authorities-investigating-death-at-prince-s-paisley-park/376578441/#1
  24. You right...I wont give those up and the Conan And I have CLASSIC legion comics like the Darkseid story and when they fight the LSV and Karate Kid dies "The Great Darkness Saga" and the big return of the LSV to launch the 1984 Baxter series. Yeah a real good period for the Legion.
  25. Its been awhile since I've seen the sequels, but my memory is they are all variations on the Mag7 plot. Yeah the Yojimbo circle is funny (the plot resembles Hammett's RED HARVEST, IIRC, but Kurowsawa said it was based on Hammett's THE GLASS KEY). A Fistful of Dollars though was an Italian film not a Hollywood one. Hollywood did adapt RED HARVEST as Roadhouse Nights (1930) and THE GLASS KEY (1935 and 1942).
