That a movie based on the lovecraft story?

Yep! Starring Nicolas Cage, it looks bat**** crazy and awesome.

 

[N3ON]

So what are we?

Some kinda

****post squad?

And here's text.

 

[Michael the Spikester]

You the type of person that would spend hours on Wikipedia or something just looking at animals or bears?

Yep.

Looking at an animal lover and enthusiast here. Crocodiles are my favorite animals.

Also into prehistory (Especially prehistoric animals), history, myths and cultures especially regarding indigenous people as well. I've lately been obsessed with grizzly bears notably due to the 1976 film which is an enjoyable movie and just got it in the mail a few weeks ago.

Curious, to put it lightly.

Cosmic horror is hard as **** to convey on the screen, it's not just all wiggly wacky abominations.

 

[Aurane]

I'm not actually sure what you're insinuating lol
I'm probably just not understanding a joke atm.

I was making a joke about the sexual joke thing I said before, but it didn't seem to land.

I figured as much lol. RIP

 

[Wademan94]

I suddenly went from looking up cougars to jaguars to looking up grizzly bears once more as usual to suddenly start watching videos on them like I often do.

I just can't get enough of grizzly bears.

I love the sound of their mighty roar.

“GUH-HUH!!”

Oh well. Maybe next time.

 

[ZephyrZ]

I hate it when I'm scrolling on mobile and accidently hit "reply" on someone's post with my thumb, causing the screen to scroll all the way down.

This is the one situation where I'm envious of lefties. At least I can still play Kid Icarus: Uprising with little issue.

It's been getting pretty good reviews after the screening at TIFF back in September.

So hyped to see this at the movies next month.^-^

PS: The dog is more expressive than the live action Lion King animals.

Damn, that's cool.

I'm pretty similar with your second sentence. I love looking at early cultures (especially architecture) and how humanity evolved through it. Above all in stuff like that I really adore nomadic cultures and lifestyles. Outside the obvious, it's a life I'm pretty envious of sometimes. Like in a sense can't exist these days.

Byleth made me sick.

HUMPF!!! The unoriginality of films these days!!!

I'm a man of my culture I know.

And a media buff to top it off who enjoys checking out new franchises whether movies, shows, books (Comics and novels) or games.

PS: The dog is more expressive than the live action Lion King animals.

I'd watch that but I don't have the emotional stability to watch any movies about dogs regardless if they make it in the end or not. Max, A Dogs Way Home, Marley & Me, A Dogs Purpose, etc. being the avid dog lover I am.

It looks ok, but I don't know about this Ford guy. He's pretty new to the business, does he even have the chops to carry a whole movie?

 

[Michael the Spikester]

Already seen: Underwater

February: Sonic the Hedgehog, My Hero Academia: Heroes Rising
March: Bloodshot, My Spy
April: Antlers
May: Scoob!, Fast & Furious 9
July: Free Guy
September: Monster Hunter
November: Godzilla vs. Kong
December: Dune

Then next year I already have Mortal Kombat, Fast & Furious 10, Doctor Strange 2 (If it doesn't get delayed to the year after given the director leaving), Jurassic World 3 and Black Adam so far

The year after then I look forward to Shazam! 2 and Guardians 3 at the moment.

As far as movies go I intend to see in theaters. I used to go all the time but now that I'll be moving into my own place next year I have to start budgeting myself and so every year following I limit myself to at most 10-12 movies a year.

So you're not checking out the other Marvel movies coming out?

I'm entirely burned out by them given their repetitive formula.

Doctor Strange 2 and Guardians 3 are the only exceptions especially given the former stands out from other superhero films given its mystical arts and magic and latter is just pure bias. Might still see MCU Spider-Man 3 having grown up knowing the character lots and my brother will probably want to see it with me so I can't say no to that.

That said if I want to eventually watch any other Marvel movies besides those three I'll just wait until rental.

Man normally Papagenos is a swell, mellow guy I never seen him so angry.

He channeled Reddit and Twitter hard.

There's a reason that dislike bar is as high as it is, he pretty much summed up the "Smash fans are all manchildren" stereotype.

That reminds me. We have a Friends list, but we should have the decision to want to be enemies as well.

I'm pretty certain that at least Black Widow and Eternals aren't going to be close to any formula that people say the movies have.

Also, I would argue that if any movie falls into a specific formula, it's the first Doctor Strange, it's almost exactly the plot of Iron Man, but with magic instead of technology (not that I think it's bad, I love the movie).

 

[Michael the Spikester]

I'm gonna have to have a marathon of Byleth reaction videos for sure. They'll be really entertaining.

When I mean formula I mean the feel and vibe of it notably the humor (Especially what Endgame had endured). I dunno but I'm just feeling Marvel films are literally the McDonalds of cinema at this point its no wonder I'm burned out...

The Black Widow trailer also did nothing for me. Felt like any other MCU film before notably the feel, vibe and humor. Maybe if the MCU didn't stick to this and had variety of different feels and tones (What Endgame notably should of had) I probably wouldn't be burned out at this point.

 

[SnakeFighter64]

Do you guys think I would like the Mega Man series? Should I pick up the collections?

 

[Shroob]

The older games are a bit tough, at least the earlier ones. They get easier as time goes on... Then MM9 is absurdly hard lol.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

Depends which ones, the regular Mega Man series is a lot simpler whereas X is more complex with movement options, armour and exploration requirements. That being said my only experience with the X series is X1, which is a damn fine game but the X collection 2 includes 5, 6 and 7 whereas the regular Mega Man games have eh games at worst other than MM1 being dated. Granted most people tell me 5 is fine but they pull RNG for the good or bad endings and I can't **** with that considering how much that screws you over

Less than 2 seconds later:

I feel so bad for Kirby there. Poor thing looks so scared and needs some tender loving care.

I mean.... the legacy collections have save states and the X Collections have rookie hunter mode. They should be.... managable...

Yeah... I've seen Johnny's videos, I think it would be managable with Rookie Hunter mode. Don't know about Classic though. Save states should help

Isn't the Zero series getting a collection?

The Marvel films is part of the reason why my tastes have changed in live action films. Outside of Civil War and Homecoming, I've really not enjoyed the other films of the MCU. Even Endgame was just ok.

Now I'm enjoying Joker, John Wick, The Irishman and stuff like that. Less on the superhero suits, more grounded action and character studies. Like what Martin Scorsese was once said "Theme Park feel".
Anime is different because it is all animation but live action over the top like Marvel have gotten boring and just not a fan anymore. Same with Star Wars.

*scowls*

If i could I would give this post a dislike.

I may not be into Marvel anymore, but as a fan of superheroes in general this opinion is SUPER patronizing. I've watched the "good" movies for class and I almost always fall asleep.

Never played them but the Zero games are notorious for being ****ing hard, so as a beginner I suggest leaving it until after you have more experience with the X series, specifically X for lore reasons

Really loved Joker. Can't believe for all the **** I gave it while looking forward to It: Chapter Two that proved to be the opposite. If more comic book films did more of what Joker did that'd be great and DC will be on a role catching up to Marvel. I'd love for more movies like Joker.

John Wick. I would had seen those long ago and already own them but the beginning of the first movie is the only barrier keeping me from watching it given my love for dogs. I'm trying to grit my teeth and get around to watching it though because I'd like to see how Keanu Reeves is as an actor being those films and Bill and Ted are his most notable ones.

What I also loved about Shazam! was how grounded it felt as a superhero movie. Nothing too epic nor mind-blowing but light-hearted fun with magic involved and humor not being too forced.
