  1. Yeah gonna have to agree here I'm still having trouble seeing the rea market pull of either console. I mean, the PS4 sounds nice, but I'm so backlogged on PS3 games it'll probably be a year or more before I slap down cash for a new console that isn't the Wii U And I doubt I'm the only one thinking that way
  2. that is because your misogyny is SO internalized that even your empathy and care are actually just subsets of your patriarchal, dominating, priviliged nature, and that your desires for revenge/redemption in light of those losses are really just a desire to feel like your privilege-engorged dick is big again
  3. then your problem is with the screenwriter, not the director stop being a sheeple and complaining about J.J. Abrams because the rest of the internet does If you are unable to glean the statements, commentary, themes, and substance from a film to the point that you're sure there is nothing to gain from it at all, it's pretty much 100% certain to be your own myopia. This goes for almost any film or other such narrative medium. There was a shitload going on inbetween (and directly on) the lines of this film, but I appear to be dead right in that you weren't really interested in reading any of it to begin with. this sort of faux-scholasticism is becoming somewhat of a common theme among the more disgruntled of us these days. What does this "intelligent consideration of the events on screen" even look like? What past Star Trek film exhibited this feature that I missed? If you mean the more subdued, quieter tone of earlier films, that is again a stylistic preference of an older school of cinema. It wasn't any more or less "intelligently considered", it was just blocked out in a stage-like manner, and people standing on a hollowed out set talking in hamtastic tones was as exciting as the technology generally allowed. It had the same exact goal as the Klingon shootout in Into Darkness, to engage and excite the viewer. Furthermore, When a film's primary theme is death, the uncertain/unknown, how we should or shouldn't react to it, how we as a species/society meet that challenge, mortal peril happens to check a lot of boxes in your action film's list. If it tires you, perhaps the film's themes aren't suited for you, as opposed to there simply being none. It's not the movie's shortcoming. In fact, some of the boldest indictments of our culture have I've seen in recent years have come wrapped up in action films. Iron Man 3 and Into Darkness both make serious statements about the United States' behavior, motivations, and thought processes as a nation during the era of the War on Terror. If you're willing to give them an actual viewing.
  4. 1)It's a star trek film 2)J.J. Abrams is a good director stop whining about stylistic choices he earned the right to choose by yknow being a good director 3)I can guarantee you went into the movie with this exact same notion and in fact didn't even need to watch it to come say this here 4)your complaint isn't even about whether or not it qualifies as a "star trek film" since the only rubric you've judged it by is as a fastpaced slicklooking sci fi flick which you just said it wasn't half bad at
  5. I never got why people like BC in the first place just play it on your old console and don't sell your shit to gamestop for pennies Fuck, i still whip out my old GBC to play some classic PokeRed
  6. its glorious in either language. The fact that they managed to retain the worldplay jokes and puns even in the localization is really what nails it as a fantastic dub for me
  7. wait a sec, so youre saying you'd only buy what essentially amounts to a ground-up new game and a bigass game at that for less than ground-up (non-indy) new game standard cost aren't we being just a bit too demanding here?
  8. I really don't mean this to sound offensive or pejorative but it really sounds to me like you were just really bad at the game seriously no hate
  9. i believe the insult your looking for is dicks
  10. Anyone else remember those harley-riding monkeys in ff7? They made 12-year-old me laugh hysterically every time I saw them. That and tank-legs-rhinoceros that game made NO fucking sense
  11. also a seriously bold statement for an action movie to make. Favorite part of the movie for me.
  12. Haven't given it a listen yet, but I kind of figured most people would be underwhelmed by the slow, smooth direction indicated by Get Lucky, especially in our almost-overly-produced contemporary music paradigm.
  13. sweet jesus, that is BEAUTIFUL. time to grab an emutron. it's hard to play ps2 games on SD these days, and I've really wanted to actually play through my copy of this game.
  14. Shit, how could I forget that? FLCL had a god-tier dub EDIT: I've been watching Requiem From the Darkness on Netflix over the past few weeks. It's downright fucking beautiful, trippy as hell, and overall a depressing ride. I'm only on episode 11, though, so I can't speak for the whole experience yet. Good stuff though, if you're into artsy shit. Crappy dub though.
  15. Seeing as you have experience in some form ADR/post-production, what would be a good example of language-to-language ADR done right? Outside of straight-up anime, I also tend to really love Disney's dubs of the Ghibli films. How are those, if you've seen any? Does anything get beyond "acceptable" in this regard, to someone with formal/professional training?
  16. yeah i'm confused too SaC is the absolute best dub out there behind Cowboy Bebop and TTGL
  17. I don't think Dyack's really to blame for Silicon Knights' shitty luck with their publishers much less the quality of the games therefrom
  18. That one boss monster that roars ominously and flies by the screen in a creepy shadowy blur in the areas preceding his fight...
  19. The funny thing about stereotypes (and why they almost never stand up to or factor into academic scrutiny) is yes, they do happen to pop out of thin air for the most part. They are composed of the most baseline, surface-level veneers of whatever given group of individuals they are intended to "stick to". Example: See, it's just a stereotype, and those exist for a reason! It's not wrong or damaging at all! Also, a sampling of AT MOST 10 people who could literally be anywhere in the world and speak here constitutes pretty much the furthest thing from "compelling statistical evidence".
  20. read Superman: Red Son it's a better version of the same thing
  21. looks a lot better than MK vs DC from the footage I've been seeing I'll update with a gameplay opinion when my bro comes down with it this weekend
