  1. In your own thread you made you said you walked out of the movie. And your main talking point in said thread was other people laughed and said it was bad. Sounds like you adopted that viewpoint, at least in your posts. And your only real arguments thus far have been "crappy movie; no story; random ending; no character development." That's all fair but I can't help but think you made that initial thread and your replies in here because so many people have praised the movie and you wanted to let people know you didn't like it. It's cool to not enjoy something, and it's fine if you can't quite articulate it, much like enjoying a certain meal and not knowing exactly why it was so good. Just, as far as the way you present things, it feels like you want to exaggerate and nothing else. We hear this kinda stuff all the time, though, so it's not on you. Tons of people like to throw out "best" or "worst" when talking about something cause it gets a reaction, regardless of if it's true or not.
  2. I'm not here to defend the movie. Haven't seen it, myself. But you sound like clickbait when you talk about things like this.
  3. You are the physical manifestation of hyperbole.
  4. I just searched the title of this thread and removed one or two words and found it right away.
  5. I have Spec Ops and Sleeping Dogs on other systems but thank you for the rest of the suggestions. I'll look into them!
  6. I more or less missed out on the PS3, beyond a couple of earlier games. Went and bought myself one and I'm trying to build a library of the best games. So far I have the following, but will happily take suggestions: -Resistance: Fall of Man -Resistance 2 Resistance 3 Killzone Trilogy Jak and Daxter Collection Zone of Enders Collection Dragonball Z Budokai HD Collection Dante's Inferno Bayonetta LA Noire God of War 1 & 2 God of War 3 Stranglehold ICO/Shadow of Colossus The Lord of the Rings Conquest Demon Souls We have the Uncharted games, as well.
  7. I'm pretty sure I found it but I am unable to access it because it's listed as "private" on PornHub, like Doom Metal was saying.
  8. Jesus you are so boring. Just like Halo.
  9. You have no argument nor can you even reply with something fun. You're more lame than Halo.
  10. I will forever fight you on all Halo games being the same.
  11. Real gamers have playstation? Real gamers just buy every system, including PC.
  12. Kagemusha - 8/10: Whenever I watch a Kurosawa film I often find myself watching it from a different perspective as I would a more contemporary, popcorn blockbuster. He just made his movies differently and it almost coerced me into looking at things in new ways. Now, I can certainly watch a newer film and spot beautiful cinematography or set pieces that compliment their scenes, but there's something more with Kurosawa. His work can be incredibly deliberate. Pure and purposeful angles and sets. There really isn't a lot that is particularly impressive about Kagemusha. It's pretty and there are some gorgeous sets and shots, but it's nothing that hasn't been done before or after. For me, this was like watching an artist at work. The narrative, while interesting, is more of a vessel for the visual feast on display. Having said that, there were core concepts here that I thought were equally, if not more powerful than the aesthetics. Seeing a man dedicate himself to a cause in the face of utter obliteration with his prize being nothing more than a silent, honorable death was great. But watching his corpse flow down a stream past a banner of his lord proclaiming the ideologies of the already dead master he once served was beautiful. It was like turning the analogy of being another brick in the wall into a sort of immortality of honorable actions while those who performed and believed in said actions lived, died, and floated on into the ether while the greater honor lived on. I'm trying to articulate that as best I can but it was a very thought provoking film. What does it mean to follow someone else's footsteps if you lose yourself along the way? What happens when you have reached the end of the beaten path without thinking on your own? Where do you go from there? How can you find your role in life without finding yourself promoted past your competency or toiling away beneath your potential? Who do we serve in this life? Ourselves? Leaders? Ideals? Skewed echoes of the past? (i.e. rose colored glasses and nostalgia) This film was fairly long and beautiful and deliberately shot. (And my god did I love the dream sequence.) But this is not a popcorn flick and it's not very action heavy. Kagemusha is all about scheming and provoking thoughts. If you are a fan of cinematography, philosophy or just want to take a peek at the retelling of a real story about a samurai lord, then check this one out.
  13. Vaguely relevant:
  14. It was super boring to me. Not even remotely funny, either.
  15. @molarbear @DBZ4ever Third video is finally done.
  16. That would be Vicki. She's not very active here.
  17. Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker - 4/10: I am not a big Star Wars movie fan, but this is easily the worst Star Wars movie I've ever seen. Breakneck speed in terms of pacing and yet it dragged on. Absolute mess of a plot. I looked away for a few second to grab my drink and someone had died and they moved on before I looked back. Total trash. Nothing really mattered and things were quickly resolved. One character points a gun at another's head and says "I wanna see your brains on the snow." Within two minutes she's asking him to join her on her personal journey. It matters for fuck all. Fuck D-O, fuckin' Toy Story 4, Sporky ass piece of shit. "I AM THE SPY!" WOOO DEATH TO SUBTLETY! Fuck this movie. Babu Frik was wonderful, though.
  18. I'm experiencing this right now, myself. I bought about 3 cases of these fig bars (in a variety of flavors) and after like the second week I've barely been touching them. My fat ass went and got some other snacks so now there are dozens of those bars just hanging out.
  19. Time to eat a whole jar of peanut butter.
  20. That list is incomplete or out of date. We serve wagyu and kobe at my work, most of it is not from Japan which is typically what you see in these instances. But we also sell a limited amount of the real deal. Only a handful of places have the authentic stuff and it will always have the prefecture of origin listed, among other things. I regularly clean the butcher shop on Sundays with the sous chefs and the non-Japanese stuff is kept out with all the other meats while the real deal Kobe is locked up in a special cooler. Your list seems to come from an artcile published about 4 years ago. Availability has increased since then, albeit in small amounts. Here's a more recent list specifically for my area, which includes my work: https://vegas.eater.com/maps/real-kobe-beef-las-vegas-restaurants
