Ah, the mentor redeemed through the mentee*. Interesting.


*Is that a word?

Mangini as DC and Sparano as TE coach and helping out the line. I'll take it.

Oh did they do it in Ultimates too. OK, so that's two versions, the first from 1981. And wow, The Ultimates didn't do him any favors did they. However, it's only two stories. Still, though, it's a minor character point and if they didn't address Stark's alcoholism, I don't think they will address th...

Void the win? Oh man, that would be the best fucking thing EVER!

Wait, so you are saying that the story of Ghost in the Shell is so ingrained into Japan that they can't do an adaptation in say futuristic New York? That to take it out of Japan will make the story make no sense? Come on. I mean the fucking story isn't even set in a real Japan city. If that is what...

That's old news. Don't worry too much. Kasdan helped bring us Empire, so if he gets even a tiny bit of that back, this movie should be worthy.

What a bunch of hindsight bullshit. :lol: I bet not one of those examples comes from the year they won the Superbowl. Y'know, why? Because that year all the decisions you would deride in an non Superbowl winning year, worked. The same exact coaching style and decisions that are OMG HORRIBLE this yea...

And if you make it an all Japanese cast and everyone speaks Japanese and it is set in Japan, then it really isn't an adaptation is it? :roll: If you dill holes are mad because you only want a live action remake, just say so, but don't bag on movie studios for taking a cool story and making it more a...

Yes, one would take those very specific lines from Sidious and Maul, along with Mace's very specific "oppression" line to mean that the Sith ruled the galaxy and it was the Jedi that defeated them and that there is an actual cause for wanting revenge? Silly right? The way the EU writes it,...

Question: When making a western adaptation of a Japanese movie, why do you need to cast a Japanese actor if it's not set in Japan? I mean... am I missing something here? Is the movie going to be set in Japan? I'm assuming it's going to be set, y'know, in the west.

And gawd... could this be a more disliked match-up of teams? I mean only another Steelers Seahawks Superbowl could be more disgusting to me.

How the fuck is McCarthy a bad coach?* Christ you people are fucking dumb. If Rodgers could go more than five yards without fucking up his calf that game would have been a CURB STOMP. As it is, it took a miracle two point conversion and a miracle onside kick to even get it to overtime. If anything, ...

That's one version of Pym. There have literally been dozens where that doesn't happen. It's not an ingrained character trait like Cap being from WWII or Thor having Mjolnir or Stark having the shrapnel nearing his heart.

Look, blasters can't penetrate ice. Nuff said, Trek wins.

1) George Lucas cannot write. His talents extend to producing and storyboard. Dont let him write or direct. Right... American Grafitti, Indiana Jones, Star Wars, THX1138, Willow... what a hack. 2) His writing--particularly for the prequels--is so bad, that cheapening Vader's origin story further th...

How does that cheapen anything? Well, from my observation of his posts about SW in general so far he has an image of the events in his head and anything that goes against that is spoiling the story for him. Either it's destroying characters or cheapening the story or what ever. But ultimately it's ...

Oh, so he still has control over the movies he already made?

Marvel and Star Wars are both owned by Disney, so Dark Horse obviously didn't get their license renewed.

Now I swear C-3PO said "May the Force be with you."...

So Del Rio and Tomsula. Meh. It is what it is.

Uh, not really. All the shit about Plageuis is EU, all the shit about Maul and Dooku prior to ROTS is EU. EVERYTHING about the history of the Sith is EU. All the supposed dark Jedi are EU. And as of right now there really is no new canon. No. It is not. Plageuis is hinted at by Palpatine and the lo...

And as of right now there really is no new canon.

If his performance really was because of injury that he can bounce back from, I would imaging that is the case.

Given the subject, it looks good. However, if Rudd is Lang, does that make Micheal Douglas Hank Pym?
