The sword fighting is T-E-R-R-I-B-L-E!After the first five minutes of this movie and I was wondering if I’d made a mistake. Some things just play better in the halls of memory.Henry Cavil’s commitment to the Highlander has instantly injected a lot of interest into what has been a dead franchise since the early 2000s. On the face of it, he is perfect for the role. Consequently, I decided to watch it for the first time since I was dating my wife, and...
I'm doing better. Not great you understand but at least better. Enough so that I can at least give my Darklings low-energy new material. Which this is.Star Wars 1950 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cUm3oRYV7yM Tron 1950 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fjvU6Fwb3JM Avatar - 1950 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XZMB5HnMRQU The Matrix - 1950 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i5jCFWlGlnQ Discuss on Social Galactic
“Greek and Roman myths contained characters and fantastic creatures that were ideal for cinematic adventures. If some of the adventures were combined with 20th century storytelling, a timeless narrative could be constructed that would appeal to both young and old.”-Ray Harryhausen Clash of the Titans was both the end and the beginning of an era.It was first of the Eighties sword and sorcery movies, but it was also the last Ray Harryhausen film. And it was quite the swan song. In a career...
This one is a lost gem.I believe I have made my extremely low opinion of the live-action puzzle games from the 1990s crystal clear. Sure, they made money for their companies, (briefly), but the truth is they were bad. The limitations of green screen studios, plus several hundred-page scripts, combined with the intrinsic problem of multiple dialog trees ensured terrible performances from the actors. And not all of these actors were the result of a community theater casting round-up. Ripper from Take-Two starred...
They don’t make boxes like that anymoreREPOST:“I dreamt of blood upon the shore, of eyes that spoke of sin. the lake was smooth and deep and black, as was her scented skin…” -Gabriel KnightCliche: defined as “an expression, idea, or element of an artistic work which has become overused to the point of losing its original meaning or effect, even to the point of being trite or irritating, especially when at some earlier time it was considered meaningful or novel.”Dirty little secret of...
Arizona native and pulp fiction addict Razorfist new comic just had its trailer drop. I'll be reviewing it as soon as I feel better. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BvqB8OukFNw
REPOST: I'm going to be laid up for a while which means I'm in rerun mode. Enjoy these blasts from the past. Or don't, because either way this is what you're getting.Today the monsters of PC gaming are well known to all Steam, EA, Sony, and biggest fish in any pond Microsoft. Huge multi-billion dollar corporations chugging out carefully crafted and polished money extraction software. Modern games require the kind of budget that epic blockbusters are made of. Quora estimated that...
2024 is going to be called the Year of the Unadaptable Movie. Although this one is a TV show. The Fallout franchise definitely falls in this category. Fallout was sort of obsolete when it first came out. I don’t mean the semi-turned-based role-playing thing, Fallout started life as a tribute band version of Wasteland so the interface was kind of a necessity. Besides, that's how mid-90s computer RPGs worked. That was what Black Isle did best, this was the studio that...
Don't be fooled by this posterThe Seventies were horrible in every way imaginable. From the musical incompetence of Wall of Sound to the solipsistic non-philosophy of Easy Rider, to your older sister’s boyfriend’s creepy-ass custom van with the shag carpeting that smelled…funny. There was nothing that wasn’t vomitable. Even the clothing and food were wrong. Polyester ravaged the land for an entire decade, (Hell, your Dad’s leisure suit was packed with the stuff). As for the kitchen it was ruled...
I’ll have to start this post with the disclaimer that Arktoons is a competitor of WEBToons.com. My wife just finished with her newest K-drama, Marry My Husband. The plot is that all men are garbage unless they are handsome and rich, however, the important part is that this very popular TV show started life on WEBToons. It’s far from the only one out there. There are now better than 20 of the things out in the wild and that number...
