Movies Finally saw The Hateful Eight (open spoilers)
number305 replied to SaysWho?'s topic in The Performing Arts Centre
Well thanks. That sums up my feelings better than I could have written it out. Except that I really have no desire to revisit it. I do like re-watching the short clip of the guitar getting smashed. The looks on faces when they are all horrified that Kurt smashed the real guitar on accident are... much like the guitar - priceless. -
Movies Finally saw The Hateful Eight (open spoilers)
number305 replied to SaysWho?'s topic in The Performing Arts Centre
I'm glad some enjoyed it. I'm in the 'hated it" group. From the very beginning 10 minute opening shot of the wagon coming in... the whole movie felt self indulgent to me. -
Television Are You Ready For Another CW Superhero show?

They should call it Lois and Clark -
This would be different for me if it was a normal release. Here we are only talking about 26 days difference until it hits Netflix. If it was going to be 4 months I might pop for a ticket. But your point is valid. For a super long movie with very limited special effects (outside of de-aging actors) this very well could be a better experience at home than in a theater.

Again my only problem with the scene is that it introduces that ability into the Star Wars universe. So from now on it is a viable resolution or option which can make things tricky going forward. Its like when Superman flew around the world to turn back time... from that point on it is valid to ask every time something bad happens... why doesn't Superman just reverse time to fix it.

I guess I'm a little dumbfounded. I didn't think I was saying anything out of order. Droids are shown to be pretty high level in Star wars. They even show emotion and are self aware. The first order/Empire spent 40 years creating 3 separate devices with the express intent of destroying worlds. Alderan was destroyed by the Empire purely as a demonstration and a test of the first death star (they were unaware there was a rebel base on the planet). This shows they were not very picky at all about using their destructive power or killing millions of innocent people on a whim.

Silly on 2 counts. 1. The empire/First order is constantly creating ways of destroying worlds already. Why would they not warp ships into planets/other ships if they could do that much cheaper than creating death stars. 2. Droids can do literally every thing else. What is magic about pushing buttons and pulling levers to jump to light speed that c3po could not do it? Its also cannon that humans with close to zero training can quickly be brought up to speed on how to fly any vessel.

Logically every object in space is moving so to go from point A to point B they are navigating from, to, and around an astounding number of moving objects. This is even stated as the reason that they can't go through an asteroid field (because it just adds too many variables to keep up with). Also - what is different about this than WW2 Kamikaze pilots is it's effectiveness. 1 Kamikaze would not take out a battle ship. What has been shown in star wars (and makes sense with physics) is that if you have a solid object going faster than the speed of light any impact is going to have catastrophic consequences. Therefore you would be able to have very small ships taking out very large ships... or even planets.

Without getting into any of the political talk - I didn't like the way the jumping to lightspeed was used in TLJ to destroy the First Order ship. The problem that creates is... there is really no reason someone would have to start close by to do that. I mean they have shown in the movies that they have to calculate their entire route before they make the jump. So with this new way of destroying ships basically both sides can destroy any ships from anywhere in the galaxy by sending smaller light speed ships to crash through them. There would be no time to react - just boom you blew up. And honestly this would be more of an advantage for the first order. They can make their stormtroopers into kamikaze pilots and they have tons more ships. Any time they find a rebel fleet or planet just send a bunch of small light speed objects crashing into them. Not much a lightsaber can do against that.

General Gaming IGN'S Top 100 Games of All Time 2019 Edition
number305 replied to skillzdadirecta's topic in The Spawn Point
NHL '94 not being in the top ten makes this list invalid. -
I'm not arguing. They all were not universally appreciated in their time. Just for very different reasons. I think the reason marvel is getting greif is because they are aimed at younger audiences and can be mindless at times. Those were never labels held against mafia movies. So the reasons are different... That's all I meant. I happen to like all three types. My favorite movie is Outlaw Josie Wales, I love all the marvel movies (mostly) and I can't wait for the Irishman (just finished the book it's based on - highly recommended)

I dunno. I don't see these as the same thing but I see what Gunn was going for. I just see no reason for anyone to be tearing anything down. These can all exist and be enjoyed.

Cool. I wasn't sure how LP's were relevant. You brought them up. My point which I thought was obvious when I brought up the Iphone is that yes records have made a resurgence - but they are not supported on the devices that 99% of people list to their music on. So - I don't see any reason for MS and Sony to be beholden to old technology for the sake of hipsters who want to use it. Look at sales numbers for modern games - the scales have tipped. People are buying more often digitally than physically. This is a one way road - there isn't going to be a future where we go back. Subscription services are also going to be a major thing. Hardly anyone purchases music anymore - they just pay for a streaming service and listen to what they want. That is coming for video games. It has not been all figured out yet, and there will probably be a few ugly years before we totally get there - but it is coming. But again I don't know why you are so worked up. This has literally already been announced. There will be a physical drive. You can use yours. Mine will sit dormant and unused. I'm a little unhappy that I have to pay the extra $7 for the hardware and deal with the increased size of the console and noise to have it present, but I'll cope somehow.
