Blow-Off Thread: Are These Something?

A sequel to a reboot and a revisionist retelling.

BTW, Grace Randolph is claiming that Aquaman is awesome but 1, she's been saying that for months, 2, she thinks the VFX are amazing and I think they look fake as heck, and 3, she's such a DC fangirl it's hard to take her word on this point.

But she's claiming the DCEU has successfully righted itself, and she's further claiming that Aquaman is better than Wonder Woman, partly because Aquaman's Act III works and Wonder Woman's Act III was a disappointing CGI mess.

37 Willowed:

We just bought a new TV, and I was flipping through the stations ... because ... and came across several that show old TV shows and movies.

I was struck by how much better they are than any of the garbage shown on the "current" channels. No explosions, no car chases, none of the intellectual pablum that Hollywood excretes routinely now, preferring instead to make 17 shitty remakes of classic shows and movies "updated" by inclusion of faggots and SJW types as the lead characters.

The old shows and movies actually have plots, no profanity (of course), and convey an uplifting moral message. I'd not fully realized how badly pop culture had degenerated.

49 The biggest surprise in the DCEU for me was that Ben Afflek as Batman was maybe the only strong point of the otherwise mess that was Batman vs Superman. Justice League wasn't as bad, but having to make the revival of Superman a major plot point just gave the plot needless drag.

100 Votermom: One of the best Superman stories ever, IMO, is called Red Son. It's "what if Kal El landed in Soviet Russia and was raised by Russian peasants."

He still has a good heart and a humble upbringing but he's used as Soviet propaganda and he basically tries to rule the world and create global socialism with a benevolent but iron fist.

I stopped going because I didn't want to -- despite having paid good money -- sit through M and M commercials -- and three or four 10-minute movie trailers that pretty much gave away those entire upcoming movies. It's just a happy coincidence that the movies themselves also started to suck wildly at time ...

121 Aquaman? I have always loved Aquaman specifically BECAUSE the animation in the original Aquaman series was so epically terrible.

Seriously, if you've never seen it, Aquaman has THE most primitive and insulting labor-saving techniques in its animation, that one watched it just to laugh.

Instead there being 24 frames a second, like real animation, there was sometimes ONE frame per second, or maybe even one frame every EIGHT seconds, if someone was standing thee talking. Often, talking characters would have their backs to the "camera," so it wouldn't be necessary to animate their mouths moving.

Every single swimming scene involved recycled frames of Aquaman swimming past the same landmarks that he passes no matter where he's going.

Ah, Aquaman. Good times.

192 The Gaming Awards have really turned into a shitshow whose sole purpose is to run ads for the highest bidder (and exhibit virtue signaling from furries).

But "The Outer Worlds" looks amazing. Dunno if the marketing extolling that the game is made by the creators of Fallout: New Vegas is a direct shot at Bethesda for messing up Fallout:76 or that's just a coincidence, but I'm completely on board for a game that's a spiritual successor to Fallout: New Vegas.

I did an image search on that red squid guy to figure out what his story is. Turns out his name is "Red Squid".

"Powers include a launchable head called the Crimson Squid Flying Head that turn humans into small computers, a pair of squid whips on the wrists called the Crimson Squid Sucker Squeeze, mouth bombs called the Crimson Squid Shooter, enhanced hearing, and mental electric barriers."

So that's nice! Good for Red Squid.

Because there was. Dialogue in the game files indicates that. As well as particular segments in the game still.

362 Y's Dice - huh? That's my ultimate point - if enough GOPers actually opposed it, they would be vulnerable to being primaried. Which is why this should have been done in 2017, not even as late as the incredibly bungled March 2018 CR.

You mean you think House, Rs would have actually run as opposed to border barrier funding (which would have been signified by bailing on a "shutdown" confrontation)? Really? Besides a few outliers.

You'll notice border barriers and immigration were the biggest issues making Trump president. Now find votes on these issues during his tenure, where anyone of either party had to walk the plank (actually take a position which would enter into their re-election situation). Hmmm. It's almost as if there's no politics in politics, in Congress, as has been the case for years.

Two more weeks.

Posted by: lin-duh galt

If you're interested in PC gaming, I'd highly recommend building your own system. Start with a budget and do plenty of research to select the parts. Putting it together is fun and will generally save you money over pre-built systems.
Built my current PC after my last (pre-built) PC went kaput back in the spring. Spent a couple of months doing the research. Took me a night to put it together. Well worth it.

371 Used to play games on the ole PC alot. Not so much anymore. My favorite? Grand Prix Legends. A Formula 1 game based on the 1967 season. The car physics were amazing, unique for each make, the audio was superb (The BRM had such a nice growl to it), and the graphics were,,,well,,,mid 90s. Still, the race tracks used were some of the same ones used in the 1967 season. Some user made add on's came later and those were pretty impressive too. Some new tracks and some more historically accurate portrayals of the tracks already in the game. Great game!

Zork Grand Inquisitor was the perfect graphical Zork game, but unfortunately did not sell well.

381 Pelosi's hand gestures drive me nuts. I did some interwebs research and found this on a Psychology Today magazine webpage:

"Hand gestures that are larger than the outlines of your body -- communicates a large idea or concept. But if all your hand gestures are large you will communicate that you are chaotic or out of control."

Sounds like an accurate diagnosis of Pelosi to me!

(She also seems to gesture only with one one hand and arm, her right. Perhaps an indication of whatever afflicted Dr. Strangelove? "Mein Furhrer, I vill oppose der vall zat za BadOrangeMan vants, to za death!!!!!!")
