  2. Saw 10

    in Horror, Sci-Fi, and Fantasy

    Posted

    What I'm going to find funny: It literally comes out the same weekend as the Five Nights at Freddy's movie. Saw is cheap to make but I don't think it has the cultural footprint that Lionsgate thinks it does while FNaF is going to attract a ton of people that played the game young, that watched Let's Plays and streams. I think Saw gets crushed here.

  10. Episode 1138 - GI Joe Cold Slither Commentary Track

    in Earth-2.net: The Show

    There are tons of fun and goofy episodes. I did a rewatch a few years back and it's just a fun time. A couple of other fun episodes:

    • The Viper is Coming - The Joes get a weird message at a Firehouse so, when they try to decipher it, they break-up a lot of COBRA plans. The ending is awesome!
    • COBRA Claws are Coming To Town - It's the Christmas Episode (Dan and I covered this one a few years back.) COBRA shrinks themselves, smuggles themselves into the Joe Base via Christmas Presents, and then impersonate the Joes to take over a town.
    • Iceberg Goes South - COBRA turns people into whales!!!
    • Skeletons In the Closet - Lady Jay inherits Destro's Family Mansion which has a squid demon in the basement. Also, the Baroness is petty and we have no choice but to Stan.
    • Joe's Night Out - Some of the Joes go to a Nightclub only it's really a spaceship because... why not?
    • Once Upon a Joe - It's literally Kitty's Fairy Tale only it's Shipwreck with some Orphans and COBRA is stealing something called, I shit you not, The Macguffin Device.

    I'm getting ready to move in the next couple of months. Today, as part of that, was going through all my Single Issues and deciding what to keep, what to pitch, and what to see if any of my friends might want. I'm down to Two Longboxes I'm keeping, two I'm going to try to get rid of, and one or so that I have pitched. I came to have some thought.

    • I found it incredible how often I stuck with runs I didn't like for much too long. In particular, Buffy Season 8 and Angel Season 6. I think I kept reading out of loyalty than anything else. Fables is the big one. I'm ready to finally admit that while the series started strong, it needed to end much sooner and didn't need spin-offs.
    • Apathy. I can see around when I actually cared about collecting and around when I was just drifting along out of habit. Main way is seeing when I stopped bagging and boarding new stuff. Most of the older stuff, I bought at cons and it was already.
    • I can kind of see where I really stopped buying floppies which is around the New 52. This wasn't entirely by design. The friends I would buy comics with left the area, it was harder and harder to justify going to the area of town where my LCS was, and this is around when I just financially couldn't buy comics anymore. Even now, I am almost entirely digital with the occasional single issue.
    • I have no real illusions that anything I'm keeping is worth anything. I enjoy 52 but I also know I'm keeping it for the novelty. Honestly, a fair chunk of what I'm keeping is stuff I bought at cons rather than what I read as it was coming out.

    So yeah, this is a weird feeling but ehh. It is what it is. I'm hoping that, moving forward, I actually have more of a reason to read what I own since I don't need to sort through quite as much junk to find it. Or maybe in the next move years from now, I get down to one box.

  16. The Traitors (UK)

    in General Discussion

    I haven't gotten around to watching UK yet. I watched the American one because Alan Cumming and since I'm familiar with more than a few of the Reality People on it. Most of my friends who also watch social strategy shows have recommended the UK version so I'll check it out.

    If I might make a suggestion for a similar show to try out: The Mole. Concept is similar: people competing to win money but one of them is secretly The Mole who attempts to sabotage them so they win as little money as possible. There was a recent version on Netflix but the older seasons with Anderson Cooper as the host are also really good. It does do one thing I kind of wish The Traitors had done: You are completely unaware of who The Mole is so, as an audience member, you get to try to guess as the game goes on.
