what
Spiderman 2 is the only spiderman movie.
I think the point of Avatar was to introduce audiences to his crazier micro ideas (a planet with a real gaia/ biological afterlife) through a stomachable delivery system in the form of a mainstream tried and true plot. I think Avatar as a series has some serious potential to be really fucking awesome, he just needed to the money to get there. That means pandering a lot. Hopefully future visits to Pandora will be much more interesting at face value.
Also people, please remember that Pocahontas was a real person. Accusing Avatar of ripping off of her life story (while corrupted and romanticized over the years) is as dumb as accusing a shooter with ADS of ripping off of COD.
^Totally agree
The only thing I liked about Avatar, was Neytiri. And that makes me feel like half a furry (so fuck you, James Cameron).
In all fairness, I thought Jake (or I guess his avatar) was pretty hot too.
I liked Neytiri, but I liked Zoe anyway.
I wish Zoe Saldana would stop trying to play tough chicks that can beat up large men. She isnât big enough to beat up a large man that knows how to fight. Bruce Lee was little, sure, but he was also ripped with muscle and knew how to leap across a room with lightning fast speed and deliver a punch with every ounce of his being. Zoe Saldana just doesnât compare. Angelina Jolie either. Iâm tired of the wispy thin tough chicksâŚ
Meanwhile Noomi Rapace is playing flighty damsels when sheâs fucking ripped.
Zoe used to fit the bill in like 2004 but sheâs kinda widdled down to almost nothing nowadays.
I should actually revise my previous statement. I liked her when she didnât look like she had a terminal illness.
Just saw Incendies.
Oh my fucking god.
Looper. I wasnât expecting a lot of that. âWhat the fuck?â was repeated many times.
same. I actually really liked it. It was a better looking movie than I anticipated and Joseph Gordon Levittâs Max Payne impression was very god damn good. His Bruce Willis thoughâŚ
Wreck it Ralph, what a great movie.
I really want to see that.

I didnât have a whole lot to do this week while watching a friends house while they were out of town, so I ended up watching a number of documentaries on Netflix. First I watched Trekkies, which wasâŚinteresting. Although thereâs not a narrator or anything, the way the movie is made, it seems to alternately make fun of and praise Star Trek fans. So that was interesting.
Then, since it was suggested by Netflix, I watched The Captains, by William Shatner. That one wasâŚodd. It seemed like Shatner made it in the middle of some kind of crisis, and was trying to talk to the other Star Trek captain actors about deep stuff. Half of the time it was kind of interesting, the other half it was pretty awkward. The main thing I took away from that movie was: Avery Brooks, aka Benjamin Sisko, is totally nuts.
Last I watched Indie Game: The Movie. Wow. I have lost all desire to ever attempt to make a game, and I have a whole new level of respect for the BM devs. I canât even imagine, after something like that, not even getting paid for all your hard work. Though I suppose there was a larger team and not just 2 people like a lot of indie games, so maybe it wasnât quite as bad.
Oh and while it wasnât a movie, I went to go see Video Games Live in Austin yesterday. The show was pretty cool, and it was at the same time gratifying and annoying to be around other video game fans. I was sitting in front of what must have been the biggest JRPG fangirl ever. I almost lost my hearing after she screamed for FF8 and Chrono Cross. :S I easily would have sat through another hour or two of music though. Felt too short. Thereâs just too much great game music!
No. No no no no no no no no no. Donât let that be your takeaway from that movie. Those whiny, entitled pricks are not the standard of indie developers. Sometimes in life you work hard and not everything goes your way. If developing games is something you want to do, go for it. Donât let a documentary sway you.
(But yeah the BM devs are deserving of our respect)
the thing is with contemporary âindie gamesâ is that the idea is for themost part a scam by companies like valve and ms in order to outsource all of the financial risk traditionally associated with making a game to weirdo obsessive nerds.
indie devs of the world throw down your pixel art bong and your greasy anime pizza and seize the steams of production from the fat vampire newell before he builds a new knife filled wing on his mansion from the sweat of your crack
ahahahahahahahahahaha you are srsly the best poster in these god forsaken forums
I pulled 100% awkward from The Captains. Especially the Kate Mulgrew segment.
Indie game: the movie was mughfhs. They didnât interview a variety of the right people. Everyone was making sidescrollers.
I saw Video Games Live a few years back. Great live show, lots of cool arrangements of both classic and modern game scores.
