It's good effort but doesn't seem like Nathan Drake to me.

Just what do you think you're doing?! You dare to come between me and my prey? Is it a habit of yours to scurry about, getting in the way and causing bother?

 

What are you still bothering me for? I'm a Knight. I'm not interested in your childish games. I need my rest.

 

Begone! Lest I draw my nail...

Funny seeing as how Nathan Drake is largely based on Nathan Fillion's performance in Firefly.

I know right? He looks just like him but the voice and way of talking is what ultimately threw it off, for me at least. It wasn't/isn't how Nathan Drake talks and that seems to be the downfall if alot of fan-made videos on youtube that try to mimic a video game or otherwise iconic character. The naunces are subtle abd perhaps I'm just being picky, then again, it looks like there are others saying the same things ir similar things.

I watched How It Ends.

 

The reviews get it right. It's actually not as as bad as the review scores suggest - for about an hour and a half it's pretty intense if relatively standard post-apocalyptic fare with really good visuals.

 

But boy, once Will reaches his goal things fall apart faster than Mass Effect 3, and then it just ends.

 

 

And of course the movie never reveals what is going on, but my bet would be on a coronal mass ejection. That would explain the weird storms, the heat wave, the tsunamis and an aurora in Seattle. On the other hand it would also mean that nobody in the area would have had any chance of surving, but hey, Will drivers around in a major volcanic ash rain for a while without being harmed so who gives a crap...

 

No mind to think. No will to break. No voice to cry suffering.

I saw someone else put it best, it's 2018 and I'm looking forward to a Shymalan movie.

I really enjoyed Split. There are alot of unique great horror movies out there but Split was among the most unique (some may even argue that it's not even horror though the elements are there). I eagerly await Glass, plus I like Mr. Glass' character as well :)

*watches the Glass trailer*

-----> Me suddenly laughing uncontrollably. :lol: :lol:

...the rest of the trailer made me go "eh, could be/hope it'll be good, who knows" ... but those 10-15 or so seconds are a new classic moment for me.

Recently watched Shutter Island for the first time. Really enjoyed it.

 

Also so Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again. Always was a fan of the first one, and likewise enjoyed this one. Lily James is fantastic.

Watching 'The Scorpion King'. It ain't the best action-adventure movie I've seen but I am liking it because:

 

-it has no shortage of hot pre-historic chicks.

 

-it has an interesting premise: it is set in a time before the great pyramids were built.

 

-it has some really nice sceneries from time to time when people aren't bashing each other with swords.

 

-it has The Rock!

There used to be a signature here, a really cool one...and now it's gone.

the character still looks like CGI uncanny valley central, but now we can also see that probably most of the rest of the movie relies on about as much CGI and looks about the same, so I guess it's fitting

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.

Skyscraper. Underperfomred at the box office but still entertaining. Rock is Rock and so glad Neve Campbell is back in action. Biggest letdown are the villains. Boring, bland, drab.

Momentum  - A nice budget action-thriller, with some nice dialogue and banter between protagonist and bad guy.

Olga Kurylenko as a thief with a mysterious past pulled in for one last heist, when things turn sideways and turn into a cat and mouse game with James Purefoy sinking his teeth into the role of scene-chewing magnificent bastard of a master assasssin / troubleshooter, and Morgan Freeman doing the cameo as the Evil Mastermind in the background.

Overlord trailer is out - bit gory.

 

Is it wrong that I read your post as "bit goy"?

I'd say the answer to that question is kind of like the answer to "who's the sucker in this poker game?"*

70's, 80's, 90's, 2000's ... it's all just one giant blur to me at this point.

“Political philosophers have often pointed out that in wartime, the citizen, the male citizen at least, loses one of his most basic rights, his right to life; and this has been true ever since the French Revolution and the invention of conscription, now an almost universally accepted principle. But these same philosophers have rarely noted that the citizen in question simultaneously loses another right, one just as basic and perhaps even more vital for his conception of himself as a civilized human being: the right not to kill.”
 
-Jonathan Littell <<Les Bienveillantes>>

"The chancellor, the late chancellor, was only partly correct. He was obsolete. But so is the State, the entity he worshipped. Any state, entity, or ideology becomes obsolete when it stockpiles the wrong weapons: when it captures territories, but not minds; when it enslaves millions, but convinces nobody. When it is naked, yet puts on armor and calls it faith, while in the Eyes of God it has no faith at all. Any state, any entity, any ideology that fails to recognize the worth, the dignity, the rights of Man...that state is obsolete."

-Rod Serling
