  1. Why is this a thing now? The covid one I get with current events, but why a doot?
  2. I've always been fond of the phrase "taking the piss" from the UK, meaning to make a joke or fucking with someone.

  4. Snyder's plans for future movies sounded like crap, and it's no wonder WB panicked and went, "maybe this is the wrong guy to set the tone for all our movies going forward".
  5. Forgot Joel Edgerton played Uncle Owen in RotS, which would have been early in his career. Cool to see him get to go back to that role and probably do something worthwhile with it now that he's more established. I also hope we get some really good scenes with Hayden Christiansen. Always felt like the prequels, and the toxic fans did him dirty. Examples?
  6. Yeah I remember liking the movie as a kid because, hey, big monster, but looking back at it, it's not a good Godzilla movie, if you can even call it a Godzilla movie. The cartoon that came from it though was pretty good.
  7. This is true, and what I want to happen to be clear. Also another reason for "fuck Amazon" is how they screw over small independent sellers on their own site. Let's say you make a shoe, or camera bag, or lamp and it sells really well. Amazon takes notice, and creates a very similar product to yours, while not exactly copying your design, but close enough, and sells it for much cheaper. Pushes their own project, while hiding yours, making people not being able to find your product as easily, and now yours is more expensive anyway, so now you go out of business because no one is buying from you anymore. That shit should be illegal.
  8. Oh I know it's not just him, he's just the face of greed and unregulated, late stage capitalism run amok.
  9. Plus the Japanese hated that American version so much they removed "God" from his name, and there was a movie where Godzilla beats the shit out of Zilla.
  10. Honestly I'm just so sick of Amazon's and Bezo's shit. You have a company that starts out by selling books, and expands to ship basically anything, and offers good service. K cool. Now you have a shipping company also having a streaming service? What the fuck? A games division? Huh? On top of that poor working conditions for its warehouse employees, and Bezos being fucking Smaug hording all this wealth. Yes I know he doesn't literally have 100 billion dollars in cash sitting in his bank account, it's an accumulation of all his assets, so his properties, stocks, etc., but even still he could sell some of that stuff to get the cash to spend on things to improve the world. Remember the Australian wildfires? Motherfucker only paid one million AUSTRALIAN dollars in donations. Not even 1 million USD. At the time 1 million Australian was about 660K USD. Motherfucker could have donated 100 million American dollars to help out, and not felt it. He has all this money, and is so greedy he won't even allow his employees to unionize because that would cut into his profits. Son of a bitch, you already have more money than God! That money is already yours. Let your employees unionize, get healthcare, benefits insurance, etc., and that money is still yours, you'll just be earning less, but it's OK because you already won capitalism you greedy fuck! I'm not even one of those people who's against the idea of billionaires; if you've built a wildly successful company that earns you a lot of money, then great, good for you, but not if it's at the expense of your workers and other people because you're too greedy to dip into your profits in order to provide the people who work for you, who help you earn that wealth, just a little bit better lives. If you can't become a billionaire without allowing decent lives for your workers, then you don't deserve to be a billionaire. Shit head is treating life as a video game, and money is the high score. I'm just so done with Amazon, and I don't want to have to use it if I can avoid it. Fuck Bezos.
  11. Sony should make PS3 titles downloadable onto PS4 and/or PS5. I guess there would need to be some heavy work in order to make those games run or emulate on the newer hardware (I think it was in part because of the Cell processor that didn't allow backwards compatibility with the PS4), but still leaving that era of games behind when there's no reliable way to buy them is just a shitty situation. Like I said there are PS3 games I was always interested in playing that either can't be downloaded from the store, or are hard to find a physical copy, even used, at a reasonable price. Dante's Inferno - always wanted to try it out, even if reviews are mixed. Wanted to see how it was for myself, even if given Visceral's history a survival horror adventure through the nine circles of Hell would have been a better idea than a God of War action rip off. Resistance trilogy - going grim dark and mature might not have been the best route for Insomniac, but I'm still interested in seeing how their crazy weapon ideas translated to a more realistic tone. I do hear the third game is solid though. Killzone trilogy - again maybe not the best trilogy, but one I always wanted to see for myself. Shooting what are basically Nazis in the future? Sure. Again not the best of the best games out there, and that is probably why I didn't get around to them right away, but always games that I thought I'd give a shot if I could get them for cheap. Unless I find them used at an EB Games, or eBay there isn't a way to get them. Now just imagine this scenario with games that are supposed to be super good, but never got a PS4 remaster. Sony needs to protect and preserve their history somehow, not just go, "eh they're old games, who cares? Look at this shiny new one!"
  12. I've always said that in order to convince someone of something, especially if it's something they're wrong about, you can't be confrontational and condescending to them. As much as we all get angry at the super, die hard conspiracy theorists, and want to yell at them about how stupid they are, that won't convince them, it's just going to make them defensive, and feel like they're backed up into a corner. It's like religion and asshole atheists who think they're going to convince religious people that God isn't real by calling them superstitious, and dumb for believing in fairy tales. The real way to convince people of anything is to treat them with respect, and calmly explain things to them. Hopefully they're willing to listen.
  13. Nom nom King Shark is going to be the fan favourite I think, just like Groot was from GotG. Plus he's voiced by Stallone which makes it funnier.
