I know that you're joking, but it's also absolutely what a Health Care Insurance company would DEFINITELY try to pull.

"You reckon I been slack?" "Two men enter...One man leave." "Death is listening, and he'll take the first man who screams"

Yeah I dont get the criticism either. If you go back to THE ROAD WARRIOR, it's really NOT Max's story. He's literally just a means to an end for that community of survivors to get away from Lord Humungus' forces. He doesn't even really have a character arc, he doesn't help them because he has a...

I'm someone who strongly believes that Spielberg has two eras in his career. His movies before JURASSIC PARK and his movies after JURASSIC PARK. I'm someone who grew up in the era of JAWS, RAIDERS, and E.T. , so to me those movies are MY Spielberg. BUT...I remember showing JURASSIC PARK to my...

THE FIFTH ELEMENT is one of those movies, along with STARGAT,E that I saw in the theaters upon release and that bounced off of me like bullets off of Superman's chest. I never understood the appeal and never revisited those films. I'm glad that other people like them, though, and did see a few...

I dont think that at all. The OP asks specifically "your perfect movie" meaning that its completely subjective. Who CARES what you or I think is good outside of our own parameters of perfect and good. I'm just curious to see what other people enjoy. Not if I agree or stand ready to judge their...

Each person has their own standard for perfection when it comes to film. My stance is that there is no perfect film. For me film isnt an intellectual exercise, it's about how it makes you feel and a lot of that is how well the pacing, the story and the performances are put together. That being...

Like I said upthread, it's a Marvel show for people who dont like Marvel or superheroes. It's for that A24 crowd, the contempt for the genre is fully in some of the responses here. Yes, there are room for different stories in the MCU, but, for me at least, if the same story can be told in the...

I have SOOOOOOOO MUCH grey (white) plastic in terms of miniatures. I have two of the earliest Reaper Bones Kickstarted supported at a $150 and $200+ levels so if you know anything about those kickstarters, thats ALOT of minatures. Then there's my Warhammer 40K habit (no longer a habit if I'm...

Finished it about a day ago, and this in no way needed to be set in the MCU. This felt like an A24 series made by people who don't like or care for superheroes. It's an elitist film bro's wet dream. That's not to say that it wasn't good, because it WAS, but it just as easily could have been a...

Collectible Card games and MMORPGs. Also LARPing.

I prefer options and build complexity. If it's too story based and adjudication comes soley at the whims of the GM? No thanks.

Sorry, I just took umbridge at the idea that people haven't tried anything new. It came off a bit too much like we're stuck in the past and don't like anything or haven't tried anything new. And I know that's not the case as far as I go. To that point, however, you're not exactly wrong about...

Why don't you make some suggestions instead of implying that people haven't tried new stuff?

I used to be a huge superhero comics guy. I stopped buying DC books regularly with their New 52 initiative. It was definitely my jumping-off point, and I never fully went back. Marvel lost me after all of their solid writers left, Brubaker, Fraction, Bendis, and those guys. The last really great...

My 2 desert island books are Kurt Busiek's ASTRO CITY and Stan Sakai's USAGI YOJIMBO. I have the Original Fantagraphics trades from 1-5 and then the huge Dark Horse compendiums from 1-9. Back in 2019 I finally got to meet Stan Sakai at HeroesCon and took a picture with him and got a sketch. It...

I was JUST coming into say this. I think I backed two of them back in the day and I have a MASSIVE amount of them sitting in a closet. I DO want to eventually assemble and paint the skeletal dragon that part of one of those kickstarters and another diorama but I KNOW I'll never get to the rest...

I do too! I was the prime age for the 1984 version when it came out so I loved it. I have my copy of Secret Wars #8 signed by Mike Zeck. I just wish that I'd gotten Jim Shooter to sign it as well before he passed. I do think that the 2015 version, as the end of Marvel 616 as well as the climax...
