    I'm gonna go tomorrow morning, it's very difficult for me to find seats where I like to sit, sort of a Sheldon Cooper kind of thing. I don't like being surrounded by people and want optimal ability to use the bathroom if I need to.

    think there's already a long conversation about this in the Kids Logic thread. But it's an easy pass for me, Battloid mode looks okay, the rest is terrible.

    Not surprised. I would had been okay with something Halo in spirit involving new characters and situations that were parallel to the franchise, but not trying to reboot it in a fashion that really alienated its fanbase the way it has for the last few years with this series. So, that's fine, I won't miss the series, I never even finished watching it.

    I think it's bad writing overall that makes a female character or lead look terrible. Now using Ripley as an example, guys making all the really bad mistakes, yes and no. Ripley was not a strong female character in the beginning and had to be developed, which even by the end of ALIEN she still was scared out of her mind breaking into borderline hysteria. However, the writing and acting was so good and the situation believable that helped pull it off and made her a likable character. Same with Sarah Connor....she was a no body meek woman who had to develop into what she would later become. Thus both characters after a period of time become stand up characters. Acolyte along with many other movies aren't following that formula really at all. They're just trying to make all these characters badasses from the get go versus focusing on development to me. I know they're looking at Leslye Headland right now and trying to decide if she should be allowed to continue or push it onto someone else if they want to pursue a season 2. That I think is also Dave Filoni's decision being the creative lead in Star Wars right? He's probably having chats with Iger and Kennedy about some stuff I'm sure. Now as for these departments, it's not just those, there are others that were involved in the project and previous projects who are getting an axe. I don't know if I heard it accurately but it sounded like a couple hundred employees or more were going to get the hammer dropped not only cause of how badly this project and others have gone lately but to help with cost cutting, granted they're not gonna recoup a 200 million loss by cutting employees, but it's also getting rid of supposedly weak links in the chain in hopes of doing better quality work. Bob Iger I know has said he wants to move away from streaming and go back to making movies, and I think he's right. Like I said before, I take a lot of this stuff with a grain of salt, every failed film suddenly shakes the core of the company and heads are supposedly gonna roll but nothing ever happens. I wouldn't be surprised in this case either. People have been clamoring for Kennedy to be fired I think since TLJ and nothings happened.

    According to the rumor mill which I always take with a grain of salt cause it always involves Kathleen Kennedy being fired and yet nothing happens, Bob Iger and the board at Disney are rolling out a massive termination list at Lucas Film that already included the entire marketing team for the Acolyte. While the official numbers haven't come out from the Neilson ratings it's supposed that after episode 1 viewership dropped 75% over the course of the remaining 7 episodes. Other terminations will span around the visual effects and set design departments. Supposedly this 200+ million dollar series has been another colossal failure and loss for Disney adding on to their recent years of horrible Marvel films and they're getting really tired of it, and hearing the frustration from the fans over the woke status quo its trying to produce and not really being asked for except from the woke crowds. Personally, I just want star wars to go back to being star wars.......go back to movies, maybe a game once in a blue moon. I don't need a bunch of mediocre 6-8 episode streaming content related shows, animated stories, and all that jazz. I want them to take their time to flesh out a really good narrative with visuals that don't look cheap anymore. I wanna sit down with a bucket of 20 dollar popcorn and a 10 dollar soda and be going, "WOW!" for the first time since the early 2000's with this universe.

    Well, I've pre-ordered the 86 Optimus for now....I'm not sure if I'll actually get it in the long run but who knows.
  7. Hikuro
    Well I for one wish I didn't see that final trailer, it feels like it just spoiled a crap ton of the film. And that popcorn bucket..........wtf serious? XD
  8. Hikuro
    Yeah but she was nearly triple digits.....so that isn't a surprise. So we lost Simmons, Ruth and Doherty in just a couple of days. Quite the weekend!

    I wouldn't say that, meta upped the pricing on their Meta 3 headset because the Quest 2 was very popular. I wouldn't say it's millions, but probably a couple hundred thousand at the lowest. I've ran off a Quest 2 for almost 2 years now, there are some things I REALLY enjoy about it.....course somethings I don't. But I think this could be a fun experiment and it's not just the only thing Bandai is trying out but other Gundam related stuff on Meta. So I'm looking forward to it.

    Oof that lil bit of silver pressed behind his back there look like the front bumper making me think he's got a false front end cab again and that's gonna disappoint me terribly. It's stuff like that I just never understood even as a little kid. Like when I got my PM Optimus Prime, who at the time was my ONLY Optimus Prime, why he looked the way he did....his front cab was his back, but he had windows on his chest. Also why I didn't wanna bother with the G2 figure when I was also a kid.....and didn't buy a RID Optimus Prime until my 20's. It's an incredibly chunky soup backpack right there.

    Rather funny considering that every teenager in a number of teen related movies are in their late 20's. I mean Ralph Macchio was I think 20 or 21 when he did the first film and was shy of 28 in Part 3. Cobra Kai is 6 years old now, and. Mary Mouser who plays Daniel's daughter Sam is now 28. I think the only one who actually looked the right age was the scrawny little nerdy kid with glasses.

    I mean I'm not a hellboy fan....barely got thru the first film and didn't even bother with the 2nd. So I obviously passed on the reboot and I'll certainly pass on this fan-film looking POS. Man, seems hollywood is just like "Eh" on these kind of properties now.

    Think I still got that IDW Bumblebee somewhere. From all the reviews I've been seeing for the SS86 Bumblebee, I still think he's an absolute pass. I'm not really enjoying how Hasbro has been getting cheap on quality and esthetics by painting windows pale blue or completely blacked out. Nor does he even look VW anymore! I feel pretty damn lucky I was able to find a Netflix walmart version when I did, that's my favorite G1 iteration bee right now.

    Hmmmmm I don't have any of these in my collection and usually I'm a ship collector, love star wars and star trek ships. But this 15 piece set, I count 14....10 figures, 2 y wings, 1 phantom and 1 ghost. So what was number 15, what did I miss?

    I've worked with Todaro in some Transformer projects and he's been a comparable Starscream next to Daniel Ross for some time and I liked how well he and Welker played off each other. I did kind of enjoy the table read, not as much as I thought I would had but still it was fun to watch. There were some odd times where the original voice tracks creep in for some odd reason, like it was forgotten by whoever was supposed to deliver that line. Pace tended to be off as well once in a while. Still though, I think the cast did well.
