Did you ever take an elective in HS strictly for the girls?
Sandstone replied to André Toulon's topic in Free-For-All
No can't say that I have... lol I did take a couple though cause there was secretly a cute boy in there that I liked or was friends with. -
Does this look like Rosland Capitol to you bro? What the hell makes you think anyone here would even know what you're talking about, no one here has three nine fine silver, nor do they care.

Quick start for you: http://estate.findlaw.com/planning-an-estate/durable-financial-power-of-attorney.html I have not read this thoroughly so please read and proceed carefully on your own. But it looks like the specific type you would need is a "Durable Financial Power of Attorney" signed by your Aunt, which means you need to talk to her about this in detail and make sure that she wants your help in removing him and helping with financial problems. POA also gives you the right to act on someone's behalf in the case of them becoming mentally unstable such as her developing dementia or alzheimer's disease, or in the event they have to be put on life support, etc... This could also allow you to prevent any claims that guy could try to make on anything she leaves behind that could be inherited, e.g. he claims the inheritance of her house, is awarded the deed then kicks her children to the curb (that sort of thing).

You don't have to drag such a problem onto national television... I mean you could. Maybe he could help you, but I doubt his concern or interest would be at all genuine. Like I said before he airs people's dirty laundry on national television for his own personal benefit (e.g. money and fame), and is not even a licensed therapist anymore. A reasonable alternative would be to get your ailing aunt to declare you or your mother, whichever could handle being the responsible one as Power of Attorney. Specifically, she would need to sign a POA that gave you or your mother the right to handle financial affairs, granted this is big responsibility and should not be undertaken if you do not have confidence in your ability to exercise it wisely. It also requires her to agree to it and to trust you or whoever she signs it for to have such a power. If you have a Power of Attorney signed by your aunt which grants power over financial affairs specifically, you would be able to file a legal eviction notice against him, his mother, his friend, or whatever another bum is causing her issues. Note, be prepared if you go this legal route that it could cause issues. You should definitely not attempt to do this without getting a consultation from a lawyer if you do some googling you could probably find one that either works on commission or does consultations for free. Don't just rush into this, as it could possibly cause drama, and you need to specifically make sure that she actually wants him gone but just doesn't have the ability or will to make him leave. This is just an alternative for you to consider, I seriously hope your Aunts condition improves Fuggs. You are a sweetheart for being concerned and wanting to help an elderly relative.

Get naked, invite over a ton of beautiful women, tons of delicious authentic wines, lose yourself in the mystical fumes of a sex-filled orgy to honor the Ancient Greek God Bachus?

Bunch of Commies, the lot of you. -
He's also 22 currently, though he looks 18, might just be more Hollywood magic. He is very pretty though. mochi[/member] Interestingly enough, you might be interested to know, he played the Grandson character in Super Ninjas apparently working with gay icon George Takei who played his grandfather...
-
Yes, that was my thought exactly, he is super cute. And a martial artist? Plus I already know he has a nice voice, judging from his vocal work in Big Hero 6, though he was portraying a younger character there. Not to mention, alot of his pictures he's smirking rather prominently, it kind of reminds me of Beast Boy's personality. I have high hopes for that portrayal.

You could always wait for her. lmfao I was a bit disappointed myself, Raven was the youngest member of Titans in the comics but she was older than 13 if I'm not mistaken. I think they probably cast her because they expect the show to last for many seasons. They are looking for one of those "matures in front of the camera" type deals I think ala Carl from Walking Dead. That is unusual these days though, most teen roles are filled by actors at least over 18 that just happen to look slightly younger. Although, from what I've heard the fanbase seems to think she looks older than her actual age, that is likely excessive makeup and Hollywood to blame for that.

I'll just add that they really dropped the ball in losing Kakeguri to Netflix. That anime would have gotten ratings for sure. -

Yes well they have that in their pocket for sure, and probably the really bad Death Note movie that Netflix made.... maybe if they shoot themselves in the foot like 10 billion more times the score will be even. I wouldn't hold my breath on that possibility though. -
Toonami's Influence On Netflix's 2018 Anime Craze
Sandstone replied to The1gairon's topic in Toonami & [adult swim]
The fact that they recently announced that they are grabbing MHA is a good start, there is still hope lol. They should try for some darker stuff though or more complex themes that will appeal to young adults and teens which is still their primary audience. I've been saying for a while that they should pick up things like Overlord, Berserk (original and or 2015 - 2017 remake), Claymore, more recent shows like Ancient Magus Bride (not finished airing but would be a very good fit with their style) and Made in Abyss. They also announced via Twitter they've picked up Fairy Tale.... which just makes me ask why? Why would you think airing a show that has been aired by four major streaming outlets already is a good idea? I just don't understand their decision making. The vast majority of people don't want to watch reruns of MOST things these days and anime is not an exception of this. There are some anime that are deffinitely worth watching more than once, but they are few and far between. I would definitely not put a show like Fairy Tale or Naruto Shippuden on that list as their content is lacking save for a very few parts and they are in general extremely generic shounen. -

I think it may have spurred more open conversation in terms of large groups which are basically now viewing anime like book clubs, you normally would find this type of behavior on tons of youtube videos for high profile shows like Game of Thrones or Walking Dead. I think they helped spur discussion but they are not solely responsible for the profitability or sustaining and expanding the markets in the same way as Funimation, Crunchyroll, and Hulu, which beat them to the punch by several years. Hulu also lost a ton of anime recently, ironically some of those were also swallowed by Netflix. Netflix is just a big media company now, they are a major competitor in cinema and will remain as such. If Toonami executives start making smarter decisions, have people actually reviewing larger bodies of content (e.g. actual hardcore anime fans), and make smarter investments instead of pulling for shows with big names then they will probably do much better. -

Shippuden, in particular, is an incredibly bad choice of a show, mainly because of two reasons: it is long AND full of a ton of boring filler episodes this seriously hurts the platform they are on as you have wait weeks through nothing but filler. I can't imagine that is good for consistent ratings. Also, it has already been aired in it's entirety via Hulu. I can't imagine that it is good business to hedge bets on shows that are basically reruns in a niche market, even if it is growing. -

Sandstone replied to The1gairon's topic in Toonami & [adult swim]
I definitely do not agree that Toonami was the sole heir to anime in western markets. If anything they were several years late to that party, and have also made some very questionable choices in terms of what they air on top of that. -

Sandstone replied to The1gairon's topic in Toonami & [adult swim]
Yes I know, I'm saying those are bad choices and not a good use of their resources. I seriously doubt Shippuden is getting them ratings or their Gundam fixation, but I am just speculating because I don't know exact numbers. I do know that they are using money to acquire and or keep those licenses intact which could be spent on stuff which has arguably better content. That is my point. -

I do think if they were smart they could enter into a non-competition pact with Netflix though, similar to what Funimation did last year with Crunchyroll. Netflix mostly has subbed anime, in fact, I think I know of maybe 2 that they have which are dubbed. Toonami could potentially work out a non-competition partnership for distribution with them for airing the dubbed version of anime that Netflix acquires. I'm not sure how much that would potentially cost them but I am sure being able to get dubbed licenses to some of the popular stuff Netflix has swiped would be great for their ratings. I don't know if they could even legally do that either since they are licensing anime through other studios such as Funimation if I'm not mistaken. Funimation Now and Crunchyroll's deal was struck because they were both streaming services and had already obvious differences in types of content. -

After doing a bit of very quick research as I've never been an avid user of Crunchyroll. Their streaming service launched in 2006, a whole 6 years before Toonami even made a return to AS. Likewise Funimation streaming started in its first form in 2011 from what I can gather from Google. I know for a fact that Hulu was airing numerous popular animes as far back as 2008 at least because I watched them on there because they aired them free with commercials. -

Crunchyroll and Funimation had streaming services present a couple years before Toonami even relaunched if I'm not mistaken. I am betting more people still use those services on a regular basis than watch Toonami. I don't think there is some grand conspiracy to fuck over Toonami. I think they need to compete like everyone else in an open market. If anything this kind of competition is good for the volume and quality of anime readily available to western consumers which was sorely lacking even as recently as 5 years ago, unless you were a big nerd and spent a ton of money buy DVDs off Amazon and Ebay. If anything the fact that technology has now made it much easier to dub anime in a reasonable time frame and extremely easy (compared to before) to market and distribute, has been wonderful for anime fans. I'm not a big taker on companies having a monopoly or oligopoly on any given service. Anime is a luxury, and it should be an open competition. Maybe Toonami will step up their game and invest in stuff that isn't boring, rehashed, or simply garbage quality like their fetish for every Gundam show ever or the terrible quality of season 2 of Tokyo Ghoul. It makes me think they pick things that have name recognition without even bothering to watch the shows. That is not good business practice. Netflix has gobbled up stuff that actually has good content, you don't see them hankering for rehashed shit like Gundam or Naruto Shippuuden filler reruns. -
I am bringing this up here, as I know it is where many Teen Titans fans hang out, I've seen it mentioned here more times then I can count. So just thought I'd bring it up for fans of the show to enjoy. For those of you who have not heard, Teen Titans is getting a live action show, the main cast has been selected and filming is supposed to start soon. The show will be the flagship show for DC's new streaming service where they will be debuting other live-action comic titles that they can not get aired on television primarily due to a lack of sufficient primetime blocks to air such shows. The most recent and prominent example of the block issue was found in NBC's Arrowverse iteration of Constantine. I really hope they make a return of that show after this. Titans will debut in 2018 though specific date is not set as far as I know, I am betting their service will be launched towards the end of spring 2018 or early summer 2018. The main cast of characters that will constitute this iteration of the Titans will be (this is just at the start of season 1 other possibilities for future seasons not confirmed): Nightwing * Nightwing is Dick Grayson who was also the original Robin sidekick to Batman * Nightwing will be the team leader for this version of the Titans and will reportedly bring the team together * Played by Brenton Thwaites * Thwaites is best known for his roles as Prince Philip from Maleficent, Jonas from The Giver, Bek from Gods of Egypt, and Henry Turner from Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell no Tales * Thwaites is an Australian born actor * IMDB link: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm4154798/ Beast Boy * Played by Ryan Potter * Potter is best known as voice of Hero from Big Hero 6, and Nickelodeon's Supah Ninjas * Potter is a Half Asian/Half Jewish American actor and experienced martial artist * IMDB link: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm3994407/ Starfire * Played by Anna Diop * Diop is best known for her roles as Rose Arvale in The Messengers, Isabel on Greenleaf, and Nicole Carter on 24: Legacy * Diop is a naturalized first generation American immigrant actress originally born in Dakar, Senegal and immigrated to America at age 6 * IMDB link: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm2993012/ Raven * Played by Teagan Croft * Croft is best known for last year's scifi film Osiris Child * Croft is a new an up-and-coming child actress and the youngest of the main cast at 13 * IMDB link: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm7509279/ Supporting and Recurring cast will notably include the young superhero duo Hawk and Dove played by Alan Ritchson and Minka Kelly respectively as well as Amy Rohrbach a prominent police detective in DC comics played by Lindsey Gort It is currently unknown whether or not the show will take place in the Arrowverse continuity like the CW shows Arrow, Flash, Legends of Tomorrow, and Supergirl as of yet. It is worthy to note given Keiynan Lonsdale's version of Wally West's departure from the main cast on The Flash this season that Kid Flash could potentially join the team as well if it were in the same universe (this is not confirmed and speculation). As well if this show does take place in Arrowverse it could potentially see the return of Colton Haynes' version of Roy Harper (Speedy/Arsenal). Haynes Left the cast of Arrow in Season 4 after coming out as gay. The show could also utilize the already introduced version of Slade Wilson seen on Arrow, since he is generally the Titan's archnemisis for a good portion of the comics.
