Topic | Who is a better filmmaker: Rian Johnson or J.J. Abrams? |
OctilIery 12/19/19 12:35:39 PM #28 | Hairistotle posted... Knives out was spoiled for me. I probably would have seen it if not for that but I'm not really a fan of murder mysteries. I hateJoseph Gordon Levitt but I love Bruce Willis. Idk if I'll ever see looper but I might see it for Bruce at some point Aw that sucks. Fair enough though. He also did some of Breaking Bad, if that's your thing :) |

OctilIery 12/19/19 12:28:26 PM #26 | Hairistotle posted... Only movie of Johnsons I've seen was TLJ, which I did not derive enjoyment from. From JJ I've seen star trek 1 and 2, force awakens, and cloverfield. I liked star trek 1 and tfa, so I guess JJ I'd check out Looper. Even if the logic doesn't hold it's a fun movie. Also, if you like mysteries, Knives Out is just plain amazing. |

They're big books, but read them at your own pace. Each one is basically split up into three for easy breaks. Also note that there's going to be a significant gap(IIRC 4-5 years) between the release of books 5 and 6, so you'll have time to catch up. |

OctilIery 12/19/19 11:29:33 AM #16 | Hairistotle posted... TC you gotta understand that people who were disillusioned by TLJ are in the vast minority. I always thought I was a huge star wars fan, but the current fans have made it very clear that I am not since I lost interest after the last movie. I'm personally baffled by everyone being so set in their opinion. The movie has some truly amazing shots, and some truly awful scenes. I personally adore the movie despite its flaws, but I'll never get the people who don't see how others feel differently with this. |
Topic | Civil War(comics) would've been fantastic if Iron Man was a little less evil. |
OctilIery 12/19/19 11:19:45 AM #1 | Iron Man actually had a great, nuanced stance in Civil War. He hated the registration act, but he recognized what was coming and wanted to join it to prevent it from becoming the US vs Superheroes. Buuuuut all that is undermined when he does shit like hiring supervillains to track down rogue heroes, who he then imprisons indefinitely in the negative zone... |
Topic | Age of Ultron > Avengers 1 |
OctilIery 12/19/19 11:12:29 AM #19 | lilORANG posted... Idk if it's better, but it's incredibly underrated. It sets up a bunch of stories that don't get fully resolved until Endgame, so in terms of telling a complete story and building on the MCU it sites a great job. Yup. Plus, Civil War wouldn't have been nearly as powerful without AoU cementing that friendship. |

All of those are good movies, except Age of Ultron which is great. Iron Man 2 is the weakest, but it's not bad, jus stretched too thin. |
Topic | Age of Ultron > Avengers 1 |
OctilIery 12/19/19 10:59:23 AM #15 | EvalAngell posted... Calling it Age of Ultron and then having Ultron job in every one on one battle is the problem with the movie. He poses zero threat whatsoever in his own movie. Much like Megatron in the first two Transformers movies, he's a bumbling joke of a villain. I honestly don't mind that nearly so much, as long as that's not his last appearance. Ultron's whole thing is that he gets beaten, comes back stronger. |

OctilIery 12/18/19 7:43:36 PM #75 | I Like Toast posted... If your trying to argue based on impact on gaming over the decade its without question team fortress 2 going free to play and creating lootboxes in mainstream games. This became the plague that dominated every genre for the decade to the point we praise a game for not having exploitative gambling mechanics that prey on children. Loot boxes are a good point, but free to play was popular well before that. |

For more detail, the burns were so bad they fused her skin together in places. She would've been severely burned if she drank it. Rather than acknowledging the mistake and apologizing, mcdonalds focused their PR work on running a misinformation campaign showing the woman as clumsy, reckless, and greedy, haven spilled her drink while driving and gotten mad. Instead she was parked, the lid was loose causing the spill, and she was only seeking reimbursement for medical costs. |
