I'm really only familiar with The Invincible story by reputation/talking with people who'd read it; the story of the game seems to be taking the basic set-up (the Invincible arrives on Regis III to determine what happened to the crew of the Condor; one crewmember is sent out to find what happened). But it also seems to be starting us in that mystery, unlike what I understand the Lem novel does, and the wandering crewmember seems to indicate a very different kind of encounter than the one in the novel (as I understand it, having not read it).

Thing is there have people peddling that kind of thing for decades (Wally George, anyone?) So...anime it is. I actually have some anime series lined up (sadly not Sailor Moon, haven't found a copy) to watch here shortly.

Lots of 1-and-4s in that list. We beat the Jets and the Giants at least even if we lost to Football Team and Eagles (other loss was Bucs). I guess that keeps us from being the bottom fart (Lions) of the list. That's...something.

Hello everyone, long time lurker, first time poster to this thread. I have a lot of PS4 games, but my time gaming in front of a TV screen has been severely limited. That said, before I curtailed my play time, I enjoyed the PS4 (then again, I've played consoles for a long time and have almost never had a super-powered top-of-the-line PC to jade me over inferior display/input). However, as I've ended up mostly playing Switch games if I play a console game, I'm not sure about upgrading to the PS5 or X-Box Series X. It also depends on how much you want the exclusive games that end up on a system (as a huge Persona fan, I got my PS4 in anticipation of it being released. Ironically, as it turns out, I've never had a chance to play it).

Will Atlanta choke again against the Dodgers?

So if you like Swedish food does that mean you have...Stockholm Syndrome? ... ... ... ... I'll let myself out.

TNG "Rightful Heir" Worf has a crisis of faith. He goes on a vision quest. His vision turns out to be real, so he immediately becomes a skeptic and seeks advice from a robot about faith. Meanwhile, Gowron's eyes bore into your very soul.

Hmmm, it wasn't until this moment that I realized you're probably talking about the 2018 Jim Cummings THUNDER ROAD and not the 1958 Robert Mitchum THUNDER ROAD...

I don't mind sad stories, it just feels like that's all Pixar decided to produce after a certain point in time with a couple of exceptions, and that often times they were (IMO) sad (like the opening to UP or the abandonment sequence in Toy Story 2) in ways that didn't serve the story but a desire to empress the emotion on the audience. As an aside, I liked the 13th Warrior. I've probably mentioned it before, but I had a weird experience seeing in the the theater (which I didn't recognize until we saw it at home), but the version I saw in the theater wasn't the version on the home version (VHS?). I would blame myself mixing up the movie and the book, except my brother saw the movie with me and he hadn't read the book (I think maybe he still hasn't). I'm not sure if the studio tinkered with the film post release or if we saw an accidently released interstitial edit as the movie was rife with reedits and reshoots before it got released (we kind of leaned toward maybe an accidental release of a variant audience test edit of the film as at least one sequence with the Mother of the Wendol including different actors rather than just trimmed scenes).

I think we've all probably watched films because something about one of the lead catches our attention.

Brave didn't have a sequel; I guess Joy (in Inside Out) and Dory (in Finding Dory) were their next Female main leads.

I liked the first Toy Story, disliked the second, loved The Incredibles, liked A Bug's Life and Ratatouille, thought Monsters, Inc, Cars and Finding Nemo was okay, outright hated WALL-E and UP, after which they stopped being must see films for me.

It's a fun film. Langella's Skeletor is great - you can tell he's enjoying it. Hyper-Skeletor aka God Skeletor is a cool design, Meg Foster is a great Evil Lyn, Billy Barty us his usual reliable self as Gwildor and Dolph isn't bad as He-Man...

I like some Pixar, but a number of their films seem just to be maudlin.

GORDON'S ALIVE?!?!????!!!!

You can't go wrong with Cary Grant most of the time. Well, maybe hold off on WALK, DON'T RUN. I also should mention John Barry's wonderful THE BLACK HOLE soundtrack, another reason to love the film.

My biggest guilty pleasure is probably Disney's THE BLACK HOLE. Yes, the science is wrong. Yes characters walk through space without space suits (apparently some were built, but like Alien the suits fogged up and made it impossible to see so they ditched them), yes its clear that they hadn't planned the end, yes no one was fooled by not putting Roddy McDowall and Slim Pickens' name in the credits and yes Yvette Mimieux looked ridiculous in the perm given to her so they didn't have to worry about her hair in weightlessness... ...and yet I love the initial mystery. The ships, the Cygnus and Palomino are great (the Cygnus may be my favorite movie spaceship of all time). The take on the robots is great, with a whole robotic subsociety hinted at. The idea of robotic-human telepathy is a proto-cyberpunk idea (and was Reinhardt driven mad by trying to forge his own connection with Maxmillian?) The cast is top notch late 70s casting - Maxmillian Schell, Anthony Perkins, Mimieux, Earnest Borgnine, McDowall and Pickens, Robert Forster and Joseph Bottoms. I've probably watched the film every 2-3 years since it came out on home media.

You also get a great bunch of supporting actors - Rebecca Hall, Piper Perabo, W. Morgan Sheppard, Andy Serkis, Roger Rees and even a bit for the late magician Ricky Jay.

I'd probably give The Prestige the nod for favorite Nolan. Kurosawa is a filmmaker who I really I need to watch more of his work. I have some of his films I haven't seen in my watch queue I haven't gotten to. EDIT: Porco Rosso is more on Miyazaki's whimsical side; Mononoke was more on his serious, if that matters.

Mad Max Fury Road and Dredd were almost on my list. I prefer Porco Rosso for Miyazaki films, but Mononoke was the first I saw (and in the theater to boot, but I had to travel to an independent cinema to see it). I saw Inception for the first time a few weeks ago and was kind of disappointed. Maybe I'd like it better if I saw it in 2010...?

Pan's Labrynth is good, I also liked The Devil's Backbone from Del Toro (and the two Hellboy films) It was a bit of a toss-up, they're both really good. I could have went for either as well. Looking forward to The Northman from Eggers. I also could have included a bunch of Terry Gilliam's films (in particular Brazil and The Brother's Grimm, but also Tideland, 12 Monkeys, Baron Munchausen and Dr. Parnasus) or Hitch**** films. Or David Lynch for that matter.

Oooo, top 10 lists. Okay, in release date order my list based on how I feel would be... The Trouble with Harry (1955) The Big Country (1958) Charade (1963) Planet of the Apes (1968) Onna banchō nora-neko rokku (1970 aka Alleycat Rock: Female Boss aka Straycat Rock: Delinquent Girl Boss aka Female Juvenile Delinquent Leader: Alleycat Rock aka Wildcat Rock) The Warriors (1979) Alien (1979) Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981) La Cité des enfants perdus (1995 aka The City of Lost Children) The VVitch (2015) Obviously if you ask me tomorrow it'd be a different list entirely.
