  1. If that was real, it would be scary as hell.
  2. And here I thought that was common knowledge.
  3. The beauty of this whole canon or non-canon situation, since the prequels come before the originals, timeline-wise at least, they don't need to be considered, since EPVII moves forward from the events of the originals. It's easy enough for any competent director to gloss over the events that happened in the prequels, since nothing that happened in them was necessary to help shape the events in the originals. As far as Disney and Lucasfilm is concerned, the prequels are canon. It is the diehard fans that don't want to consider them as canon. Abrams didn't take a shot at Lucas, as he has no reason to.
  4. This about sums it up for me.
  5. He may not have seen it coming, but he saw it when he was going.
  6. It still looks like a fancy Accord coupe to me.
  7. Wow, this thread has gone full roller coaster since I replied early on. From a man with gender identity issues, to some folks so consumed and confused with what they consider beauty that they ended up looking like something out of Jim Henson's Creature Shop, all the way down to a White woman that genuinely thinks she's Black, so much so that her mind conjured up scenarios to solidify her struggle as a Black woman. It should be quite clear that there are some serious mental issues taking place in each case. Hell, watch an interview with any of them and the words mental illness are dancing on the screen. Wheels, this woman has a mental illness, why discount that? What criteria must be met for her illness to be genuine in your mind? Even if you feel her whole Black persona is one big sham, it still screams mental deficiency for her to go this far with it. This wasn't a weekend prank. This was a complete life reboot.
  8. She does nothing, and I mean absolutely nothing, for me. I also find her painfully annoying, and this started early in her stand-up career, long before her rise to fame. In my opinion, she is one of those comedians that tries far too hard (that red carpet stunt comes to mind), and her shtick is often about all of the guys she can get, men suck, what women have to put up with, or something in that zone. I guess men are beating down her door for that chubby face. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and what my eyes behold is not beauty, so I'll pass.
  9. I'm assuming that's what he used to "stitch" them together.
  10. I couldn't care less what anyone does for life fulfillment. Good on Bru-I mean Caitlyn, though, I could do without all of the coverage. Family Guy predicted this back in 2009: Hell, Married with Children hinted at it back in 2006:
  11. Fury Road is a feast for the eyes. If Coma the Doof Warrior (the bungie-corded guitarist) bothered you, a fan favorite by the way, you most definitely weren't the audience for this film. I would say this is a film for anyone that enjoyed the original trilogy, especially Road Warrior, as this is essentially Road Warrior 2015. While true, Max wasn't given much to do, yes, this was essentially Furiosa's (Theron) story told through Max's eyes, Max is the conduit to each story in this universe. If not familiar with the originals, then it is for someone that wants to be taken on a roller coaster ride of vehicular combat. It's not trying to be anything else, and I, and obviously many others, thank it for that. There are other movies to serve those purposes. The film is also a tool to show Hollywood that excessive CG isn't needed to pull off a successful action scene. The vehicular combat was shot practically, except for the stationary shots done with the leads front and center, and not all of those were stationary either. The rest were real and practical, save for the sand storm, with supplemental CG where necessary. This is generally unheard of nowadays, so quite an achievement. Edit: I just saw your reply that you consider the originals classic. Surprising, as most that enjoyed the originals enjoyed this. Outside of Max playing second to Furiosa, there weren't many complaints from fans of the originals. So not really sure why you couldn't stand it.
  12. I say throw another exhaust pipe on it. Why the hell not.
  13. She's a right lighting, makeup, and angle kind of girl with some extreme facial features. Not my cup of tea, but I won't fault anyone that wants to dive in.
  14. Yeah, that nose makes babies cry. It appears as though she asked her doctor to give her the Michael Jackson.
  15. Because you're a hetero male would be my guess.
  16. Never try to understand the mind of an animal, it's fruitless. They need to open fire on these poor excuses for human life. Some may see that as harsh, I see it as ridding us of an unwanted disease.
  17. There were some huge advancements in tech used for Avatar, but it was still pretty "cartoony" looking, as far as I am concerned. Every single Batman movie to date has used a Batmobile that could be driven on set and off, do stunts, etc. The complaints were not because it was a puppet, but at how poorly it looked. It was nothing more than a poorly thrown together representation of Yoda. It looked like something a Cosplayer would put together, and there was no excuse for it. The advancement of puppetry and animatronics should've had Yoda looking exceptional when compared to the original and it was anything but that.
  18. It is based on an extremely popular graphic novel. It will lead into the Justice League movies. In the comics Batman has defeated, usually by outsmarting, many super-powered beings. There are no staunch rules in comic books. Assuming you are talking about Batman's eyes, they are the result of the powersuit he is wearing. Lastly, come on now, saying anything is unrealistic in a movie with a flying alien with super powers is just silly.
  19. I assume they will, as the company that designed it (Sphero) already has stuff on the market. That thing will sell like crazy, so I can't see them passing up that money train.
  20. Like a phoenix it has been reborn. Nice to see you back on the saddle.
  21. Umm, terrific animation, but other than the title, there is no sand. This also took months to complete, not years. Did you perhaps link the wrong video?
  22. Posted in the General section here.
