It's a Wonderful Life

Jurassic Park is the first one to spring to mind.

Everyone is entitled to their opinions... except you.

Seems like one of those movies that was constantly on USA back in the day. I'm sure I caught most of it at some point but have no real recollection.

Got a small wrist fracture in gym in 1st grade and the same again skateboarding in 6th.

Wedding Crashers immediately springs to mind. It was supposed to be the next big comedy movie in line after Zoolander, Dodgeball, Old School, and Anchorman (all of which I loved), and everyone else in my social circle fawned over it...but I just didn't find it funny.

Feature-length comedies really dropped off a cliff for me after that. Superbad and Step Brothers were two other prominent ones that I just didn't enjoy at all. In fact the only other feature-length comedies I did enjoy in the 00's were Hot Fuzz and Walk Hard.

I've always thought that whole era was a complete disaster. I liked Talladega Nights when I was in middle school but I tried to rewatch it recently and..nah. Didn't like anything else Ferrell did. Then the whole Superbad/40 year old virgin crew took over as top dogs and I hate all of those movies. I feel like we're only just now recovering from that era of comedies. Pretty much the only good comedies of the 21st century are hybrids like action, horror, or drama comedies.

Forgetting Sarah Marshall?

That was ok. No desire to rewatch it though.

Most of Tarantino, Nolan, and Scorcese's movies. Pretty much all the big mid-2000's comedies.

Yet in Endgame he just sits back and doesn't do fuck all, literally waiting for the stones to fall into his lap, rather than pursue them. Isn't this basically his life long obsession?

Because this version of Thanos already knows that he wins in the future and just has to do it again. He's much younger than the other Thanos and doesn't view the Avengers as a threat. Old Thanos barely did and he knew all about them.

look. it's because of comic book fans you even have movies and shows to enjoy. show some respect and stop thinking you're better because you never read a comic book.

You talking to me? I've read tons of comics. It would be one thing to translate a comic directly into live action to see what it would look like in real life but a cartoon, with a similar art style to comics, with the exact same beats and dialogue is basically the comic equivalent of an audio book.

Just read the comic.

This is such a weird franchise. There have been ten movies over 60 years and no one gives a shit about any of them. Apart from the goofy costumes and big twist of the original they have had no lasting memory, and no one can even remember what they're called because of the terrible naming convention.

He did that literally all off screen

And? We know what he wanted to do, we know the final result. Do we need to see him sitting in his lab pouring shit into vials? There was a lot of ground to cover in that movie and seeing Bruce fix himself wasn't important to the drive of the narrative. These movies pack so much stuff into their runtime. They should be praised for their efficiency.

It would be one thing if he actually had his own movies that didn't show his story arc but, because of the goofy deal they have with Universal, he's always going to be second banana to everyone else and his story is just gonna have to fit into the cracks of other movies.

Why is the picture not the recipe he's taking about?

Because people enjoy him for his unbridled rage and aggression, we want to see him go apeshit. The closest I will ever except for hulks happiness is settling down on a barbarian planet where he still gets to be in his element.

I'm sorry he's a more complex character than you want?

Mini soda

Still have no idea why people complain so much about hulk. He literally got complete control over himself. He completed his life goal. It's the most character progression he got the whole franchise.

PowerOats posted...

We should have gotten that Hulk vs Thanos rematch

Also, apparently there was supposed to be a moment in Endgame where Hulk strikes Black Panthers suit, and BP uses the absorbed force of the strike to destroy one of Thanos's ships

Would have been cool. There should have been more team up moments

God, that suit was so dumb. They nailed the look and abilities in Civil War. I don't why they thought they needed to give him an autowin button moving forward.

None of the above

Everyone clapped

Unfortunately, mosquitos are a major part of the food chain.

They aren't. Mosquitos are not the primary food for any animal. And, unlike a lot of other animals on the list, they aren't decomposers either. Pure parasites. Fuck em.

That's 65% more corn per corn.

Why would I do that?

^Can you believe there are actually people who don't believe this?

The hell kind of discourse were y'all having on porn anyway?

The first one I can remember was COD 3. I played games pretty casually as a little kid but definitely never got anywhere close to beating anything until I got an Xbox.

Chocolate chip isn't even a top ten cookie. Snickerdoodles, peanut butter, oatmeal, white chocolate macadamia, grocery store frosted cookies, sugar, and every girl scout cookie are easily better. Chcolate chip is only really good when it's piping hot out of the oven and also has nuts in it.

Whatever is happening, it's not worse than the general shift in personalities that has cumulated over the last few years. You guys need to get over it and talk about things that make the site interesting, not just doom post about how you won't be able to post here by retirement age.

Worst case scenario you have to find something else to do with your time.

This. People are acting like they're being persecuted because now there are actual consequences to their offensive shitposting style.

Couldn't tell you the last time I saw one.

It would certainly be interesting to dig into the rabbit hole of the social media extremism pipeline but it seems like he just has some personal beef with Zuckbot. Feels like it would just point a finger at Facebook and say "see? Bad." Without delving into how people got there.

Kong leading the story just makes a lot more sense tbh. He can emote and communicate with humans and other titans in a way that Godzilla either cant or wont. At least not without deeming his character.

So it makes a lot more sense for him to take lead. Otherwise the humans would have had to and nobody wants that. So this was the best compromise.

As much as I love Godzilla this was a really cool way to frame the last two movies. We've got 30 Godzilla movies already; letting Kong take the lead is a fine change and it made the story a lot more interesting.

Lately it has just been a buggy gfaqs, actually.

Do you regularly see skipped post numbers in threads you're in?

Is that what that means? I just noticed one this morning for, like, the second time ever. Thought it was a glitch or something. lol. Can't imagine how thin skinned someone must be to block me.

It was pretty bad. It had, like, years of build up that didn't feel like it was going anywhere, tied into a previous fantastic Thor story for no particular reason, and completely changed the lore of the symbiotes (again). All to bring in a really generic big bad who *minor spoilers* stomps on every hero as soon as he gets to Earth just to show he's a super real threat guys I promise. I didn't read much more of it because it felt have a dozen stories they've done already recently. Unless you're super invested in Venom and caught up on his previous stories, don't bother.

FortuneCookie posted...

And I'm not just saying that because priority one seems to be making Kong look like a chump next to Godzilla.

Why do people keep saying this? Kong literally turned Godzilla into a side character of his own universe. And the fights they had with each other were very careful to make sure neither one of them came out as clearly superior. They powered Kong way up to even be anywhere close to Godzilla who should have been able to blast his ass six ways to sundown.

I lived in a beach town for a decade and maybe went a dozen times. I hate the beach.

People keep trying to pit this movie against Minus one but they're not in a competition. Even more hilarious is when they try and pit American Godzilla movies against all Japanese ones which are clearly significantly more intelligent.

MIddle Earth. Apart from the reign of Morgoth and Sauron, it's got a relatively peaceful history. And even those didn't necessarily effect everyone on the continent.

I agree with you but this topic is gonna be an absolute shit storm.

I think its largely that mentally stable people dont go into every conversation worried about their flaws. Narcissistic do that too, but theyre usually overcompensating so its obvious in other ways.

Im a horribly flawed individual, but its not going to be something I type in every post or leave as a signature. Maybe youre talking to someone who is concerned or trying to mask their flaws? Oryou know, a troll, you already had one in this topic.

This. Everyone is flawed to some degree but mine are so minimal that it's not something that takes an active part in everything I say and do and I certainly don't post here with the voice of my flaws.

Okay, a question:
How long is "very recently"?
Because the The Bajau people, often referred to as Sea Nomads, have lived an entirely marine-dependent existence, traveling the Southeast Asian seas on houseboats for over 1,000 years.

Also, the Bajau have genetic differences leading to diving-related phenotypes, specifically an enlarged spleen caused by a mutation on the PDE10A gene.

So a very small group that has specifically divergent evolutionary traits giving them an upper hand at swimming?
