    agreed, its even been said that AVP and Requim have no baring on the ALIEN canon. Some fan had a glorified fit when a number of us explained why those two films in particular don't count, we sort of reached a compromise that it's the Predator universe, but the Alien universe is separate so there ya go. ALIEN they're weapons of technology, Predator they're prey used for breeding. So RT has given it a score of 81% right now for pre-opening night, IGN has given it an 8/10. Rolling stone says, I'm not to sure how that's pandering the film, but he rated it as suckage. Times in UK I'm looing forward to it truthfully....what I want is one of those buckets though. The facehugger jar has got my attention cause I"d like to see if I can put some liquid in there and a mini printed facehugger of my own. Might not be a great idea but considering people are gonna slobber liquid bleeping butter on theirs, why not?

    just me, but I don't know a single professional movie critic anymore, I stopped caring about long after siskel and ebert....................and Jay Sherman! To many modern day "professional" movie critics have a tendency to spout political agenda and crap. I go off of the audience way more than anything.

    I've seen some, it's out there, just not from the regular well known instagram people yet. One person I watched this morning was a 2 minute straight out of the theater quick review and said it was good, border-lining with ALIENS. Utilizing sound and lack there of with the environments to help bring some scariness to the mix. Ridley Scott saw a rough cut of the film and gave notes Alverez one of them was about the length of the film. Here's some fun behind the scenes stuff that I caught today in my feeds that made me go "Oh cool, this is fairly neat looking." It looks like they're really putting in some care and attention to detail to making it a good film. I'm really crossing my fingers for this one. I don't expect it to be say 90%+ on RT, I'll be happy if it's between 78-80%+ from the critic scores....and I'll be super thrilled if it's in the 80's-90's from the viewership cause THAT is where it really matters.

    which I've never watched, probably will never either. I'm not really into Pixar films, I've maybe watched 20% of their catalogue of films. Off the top of my head, Toy Story, Toy Story 3, Wall-E, Incredibles 1 & 2, think that might be it.

    It's all about the $$$$ and the story, if the story is decent but the $$$$ is good, you'd be dumb not to do it. If the story is ass but the $$$$ is good, you do it and not care. If the story is awesome but the $$$$ is bad, you do it for the residuals.

    k would not had expected NIN to be in any kind of disney property......that's.....odd.
  7. Hikuro
    pretty much a convention related to disney projects and products to help entice the public and shareholders. They'll show off what's going to occur in the parks in the future, what's being worked on, movie plans, trailers etc etc.

    Yeah I bet printing one would be a ton cheaper even with electronics. Actually looking online right now at what the options are just for kicks.

    I'm not paying $400+ for 32X titles like Chaotix or whatever. Some 32X titles are fairly cheap, but some others are incredibly expensive. Even Sega CD games are like "Woah are you kidding me?!". I went to a local game shop who had no idea what I was asking for being Sega CD power cable or the link cable for the 32X. But they had some Sega CD games for 200+ and I laughed going "pass on that." Ended up having to go on ebay again to get the link cable, a correct 8 pin version but that won't show up until I think next week. The Sega CD power cable arrives Friday. Bums me out, gotta wait the entire week just to play something. Thankfully I'm on vacation next week and can just binge stuff.

    Got me Terminator........cause honestly everyone tells me the Sega CD version is the BEST port that came out and I got this sucker on the Genesis as well and it frustrates me. Also got Star Wars Rebel Assault, Lunar since the sequel is on my Saturn I won't bother with that, Wing Commander, def had to get Snatchers, Sonic CD, Earthworm Jim, and NBA Jam cause man I loved playing that. I also found a place online that sells reproduced 32X games and CD with all the trimmings. But man the 32X library they offer is almost nothing it's really small. Sort of bums me out! So I guess the only thing left is just the bridge cable between the 32X and the Genesis.

    I was at a retro convention last weekend.......though it was very small, no where near as cool in comparison to what I used to go every year in Portland. I picked up a few things to my collection like a GBC, and Advanced and first Gen DS....lots of games. But I also got a Sega 32X and Sega CD Mark 2 that's being delivered to me tomorrow. However neither one of these units are coming with cables....partially why I got them so damn cheap. At least the CD is coming with 1 of the EMI plates. Trying to find appropriate cables for these two additions to go with my Genesis 2. WHen I look online everythings low rated cause the AV cable going from the Genesis to the 32X has 5v pins which can fry both units. I think I found AC Adapters for both CD and 32X, but do I need any cables for the Sega CD? Also......games.....I know there's not much title wise on the 32X since roughly only 40 games ever got made for it. But Sega CD has got quite a fair share and not sure what I should interest myself with.

    From my understanding is they're still sticking with the Multiverse BS that's been going on since Spiderman. Some sources are saying he's still playing Tony Stark but he's a variant who becomes Dr. Doom versus being Victor Von Doom. Or they're gonna pull that stunt where actors become look-a-likes like Brandon Routh being both The Atom in the arrow-verse series and then Superman, like Johnny Blaze and Cap'n America. Though honestly, even I'm on burn out with marvel movies, it was fun seeing Deadpool & Wolverine, probably because it was so much less about the MCU you could get away from.
  13. Hikuro
    Wasn't bad, not as in your face as the original 2 films were though. From what I heard is that torn sleeveless barearms Jackman wolverine costume was apparently all CGI, not entirely sure why that is though.....But the cameo's in there were certainly a surprise to see.

    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.
  16. Hikuro
    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.
  20. 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
  21. 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!
  22. Hikuro
    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.
  25. Hikuro
    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.
