It reminds me a bit of the new God of War game story, but I guess they are pulling from the same source so it's probably mostly that. Also this is meant to be a series, just a fair warning to anyone wanting to try.

Bartimaeus Posted September 24 Share Posted September 24 The most experimental part of that video was when they randomly used an Age of Empires sheep sound effect. It may be a stock sound effect, but A. I've never heard it anywhere else unlike a whole host of other random stock sounds that I've recognized between many different games, movies, and TV shows, and B. it sounded just as low quality in the video as it did back in 1999. 1 Quote How I have existed fills me with horror. For I have failed in everything - spelling, arithmetic, riding, tennis, golf; dancing, singing, acting; wife, mistress, whore, friend. Even cooking. And I do not excuse myself with the usual escape of 'not trying'. I tried with all my heart. In my dreams, I am not crippled. In my dreams, I dance.

LadyCrimson Posted September 28 Share Posted September 28 (edited) Since CBS put the pilot episode on YouTube (free/anyone can view), I watched "Matlock." The show itself feels like a semi-generic lawyer/courtroom procedural, with a main character serial-motivation/mystery arc, but Kathy Bates is the bees knees. I would watch the show just to watch her performance. She is awesome - both humor and drama - and I'm so glad she decided to do this show before her retirement (so she says). She's like 10 planes of existence above every other actor in the show, imo. I showed hubby, he watched it, and he came in later to say basically that ("Kathy Bates is killin' it"). Now the question is can it hold quality through the supposed 18 ordered episodes. I hope so. If she's truly retiring after this, hope it's a great swan song for her.

rjshae Posted September 28 Share Posted September 28 I've been enjoying the Fargo serials on Hulu. Typically I don't like police procedurals, but I do seem to enjoy crime series that show both sides of the story and take the time for character development.

Lexx Posted October 11 Share Posted October 11 So I watched the new Deadpool. Not really great, but not the worst movie ever. I did not fall asleep while watching, which already makes this one of the better super hero movies. What I enjoyed about it was that it felt like reasonably fresh content. Even chuckled a bit here and there. One thing is for certain, though: I'm really, really, really damn tired of the multiverse. 1 1 "only when you no-life you can exist forever, because what does not live cannot die."

It was free on the plane ride home from Germany but I wasn't in a position to watch it because I was in the middle seat with a baby on my lap and a wife on one shoulder and a son-a-tron on the other. 2 Free games updated 3/4/21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexx Posted October 15 Share Posted October 15 Just watched Alien: Romulus. Actually wasn't bad. Would say it's the first non-garbage Alien movie in many years. Some things were a bit annoying, like all the fan service but what actually really felt meh to me was how the alien ages so damn fast. Like, bruh, the things are hatching in minutes now and growing out even faster? ... That's just bs. 1 "only when you no-life you can exist forever, because what does not live cannot die."

rjshae Posted October 16 Share Posted October 16 (edited) I persevered through two seasons of The Ark and I have to say it is one of the dumbest-written sci-fi series I've ever seen. It's like the writers have absolutely no understanding of physics, or science in general. But I suppose it's entertaining in its own way. Mostly eye candy space opera stuff with plenty of plot twists. One of these days we'll see an actual good movie or drama series about a generation ship and its crew.

They then have the Aliens shootout while Pregnant!Girl injects herself with Z-01 to save herself. After a lengthy action scene they all end up at the ore mining ship where they reenact the final scenes of Aliens, with Not!Ripley running around in her underwear, getting ready for cryo sleep when Pregnant!Girl gives birth to a xenomoprh egg containing an Engineer-Xenomorph hybrid that proceeds to eat Pregnant!Girl.

Amentep Posted October 20 Share Posted October 20 Prometheus already showed that humans were engineered from the...er...Engineers genetics. Alien implies the xenomorph on the Nostromo was born from eggs laid by the xenomorph that burst from the Engineer/Space Jockey. The Z-01 was reverse engineered from the xenomorph from the Nostromo. The implication at the end was the Z-01 mutated pregnant-girl's baby into the engineer-xenomorph which doesn't seemed far fetched given the genetic lineage to me? I cannot - yet I must. How do you calculate that? At what point on the graph do "must" and "cannot" meet? Yet I must - but I cannot! ~ Ro-Man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LadyCrimson Posted Thursday at 08:45 AM Share Posted Thursday at 08:45 AM The Resident (tv series, via Netflix), several episodes --read Bruce Greenwood has a role in it (not a main lead but a higher supporting), so I gave it a shot because I like him. --a lot of focus seems to be regarding hospital patient care vs. business politics etc, but it's probably the worst medical series I've ever seen, far as the medical/patient emergency cases go. Just laughable. Not sure if I like the characters/situations enough to put up with it, ala House. At least House was sometimes funny. “Things are as they are.
