  1. I was very obsessed with the series when it first came on. After the Soul Society stuff, I was still on-board (even during the Bount arc slogfest), but my interest started waning when they went to Hueco Mundo to just do the same rescue mission as the last arc, but with a different princess in a different castle. I think I only saw an episode or two of the timeskip material and kept up with the spoilers until the end. I guess that's why I've been hard on Bleach; it had so much potential, but only lived up to it for a couple arcs before Kubo shat it all away. I guess the silverlining was that there were some great boobs along the way, and I'm glad that Ichigo ended up with Orihime.
  2. I see NodeBB is doing well as the internet's finest gravediggers. expii looks like it's gonna be nextpii.
  3. The only thing that get killed in Teen Titans Go are the audience's brain cells.
  4. Didn't Disney just make millions of dollars from a Beauty & The Beast remake that retained all the characters, music, and tone of the original movie? You'd think Disney would have learned, but the more I hear about the live action Mulan, the more it sounds like they're gutting the soul of the film.
  5. Girls smelling each other after karate
  6. Live life like it's just another day in hell. Eat crappy food, listen to crappy music, turn the heater up on a summer afternoon. If there's an afterlife where everyone gets eternal punishment, it'll feel like nothing after the training. If there isn't an afterlife, it'll be a relief to finally get some good sleep for once.
  7. I was gonna be the dick that says Jason, but I think Child's Play was a much worse horror franchise that got big. I agree with Slither though as a very dumb movie that people paraded around because James Gunn was a quirky new face to films. The same thing with Cabin Fever, but at least Gunn went on to make good films unlike Eli Roth who used his bad film as a launchpad to make worse films.
  8. Unless they get some more creative talent before their good shows finish, it'll just be CN using the Self-Cutting Magisword as they air Teen Titans Go from dawn til dusk.
  9. Remember when pop albums from the 90's had interactive software that gave you access to exclusive photos, videos, and tour footage when you put them in the CD-ROM drive?
  10. Mojo chicken breast and Cuban-style cauliflower rice for the week

    I have to be in the mood to watch movies sometimes, and I've never seen those movies before even though they're legendary in their badness so I gotta make the experience worthwhile and not just some random time when I'm bored.
  12. I enjoyed what Skyward Sword brought to the table in its story, characters, gameplay, and artstyle. The only thing that ruined it for me is how vacant everything felt once the world opened up. Large patches of sky between floating dungeons and small islands made the game feel much smaller and less exciting to navigate around compared to exploring Hyrule in ALTTP and OoT or going on an expedition across the sea in WW.
  13. EA is what went wrong. They've always been this bad since the DLC/patch update era. They would cut corners and overlook some obvious flaws to push for a closer release. If the issues are obvious, they either drop support for a game if it's not popular enough, fix it only after everyone gets pissed at them and their game's credibility is completely gone, or charge extra for something that could alleviate solutions to these issues. Same problem with other AAA developers like Ubisoft and Bethesda whose big budget games are released with glitches and graphical hiccups everywhere.
  14. 6-7 hours of sleep. 8 on a good day, but it's been a while.

    I'm saving the episodes on Manos and Santa Claus Conquers the Martians for when I'm feeling up to it.

    We have permits that let you keep any monkey you want as a pet except for baboons and great apes as long as you adhere to state regulations. I have, however, seen the Oprah special on the woman attacked by her pet chimpanzee so owning that kind of exotic pet sounds like a terrible idea.
  17. If the FBI guy took the bribe, he'd not only have betrayed his sense of justice and his duty as part of the FBI, but would risk being thrown under the bus anytime, get thrown in jail with the rest of Belfort's crew once their luck ran out, and have less of a chance to recover as a crooked FBI agent than Belfort whose crookedness got him a Scorcese movie based off his memoir. Because he didn't take the bribe and incriminated Belfort, he still did his job and has both a major accomplishment under his belt and his moral compass. The only con is that he lost out on a ton of bribe money, and the juxtaposition between a good person traveling on a subway and an awful person on a bus to a luxury prison does sting a little. The real FBI guy has no regrets about arresting him, but on a narrative level, the audience is supposed to feel that sting from the good guy not being celebrated or rewarded as heavily for his deeds than Belfort. Every way you look at it, you lose
  18. It's timed with these lyrics from the Lemonheads cover of "Mrs. Robinson": "Laugh about it, shout about it When you've got to choose Every way you look at it, you lose" Essentially, he locked up the rich asshole banker, but that guy is still going to live out a relatively cushy sentence and cushy lifestyle after prison. Meanwhile, the FBI agent, in doing the right thing, is stuck on the subway just like everyone else, still in the same economic position. He wasn't crooked enough to take Leonardo's dirty money on the down low to help him avoid jail, but being crooked is what got Leonardo so much money and privilege. It's either do the right thing with little reward, or do the wrong things and reap the benefits of a society that rewards the special kinds of assholes.
  19. Pine, wood, fruit, and spices.
  20. Can't wait to see the ahegao faces that come from their graphics engine
  21. Part of me says I would based on the high production value and the somewhat of a semblance of dedicating a wider span of the boards to [as] shows. Or stuff like Swimcon, the board-wide events, the Williams Street office streams. Even just the illusion of having new posters that aren't just regulars with not much else to do with their free time. Another part of me is just happy that I can post erotic anime girls in spoiler tags without having moderation breathe under my neck about the obscene nature of a tanktop or exposed ankles.
  22. DBZ, Pokemon, and Sailor Moon will always have the distinction of being the most successful shows during America's big anime phase in the 90's. You'll always have shows that get massive here, but I think the closest to them would probably be Naruto given that it's been on long enough for casuals to bring up the moment Rock Lee dropped his weights without looking weeby or be mentioned in a regular conversation in the movie Attack the Block. Personally, I think Pokemon is the biggest of the shows I've listed, but DBZ is way too big and iconic to be surpassed by alot of shows after it unless Attack on Titan, One Punch Man, Tokyo Ghoul or JoJo end up having dozens of seasons that Americans would watch religiously.
  23. Flat-Earth trolling is a common last ditch effort for forgotten celebrities to desperately cling onto any sort of attention. The last thing B.o.B. was known for was ranting about the Earth being flat and releasing a diss track against Neil deGrasse Tyson for mocking his views. Then there's Tila. But to steer the conversation in a different direction, people have to start owning the shit they say. I'm tired of all this shit where people dodge responsibility for the stupid ass shit they say because "lulz, TROOOOOOLLLLLLING!!!!". Fuck that, I'm putting it to anyone when they try to backpeddle; they can keep saying "I'm just trolling," but they don't have the right to get upset if people start calling them out on conspiracy shit they supported, especially if it's toxic or hazardous to our society to pretend is a thing.
  24. He truly was a legend. Within the span of 90 years, he became history's most influential guitarist, musician, and filmmaker.
