I don't like that she's out-busted by Storm, but I do like that Rogue still has some boobage.

Is it true that they don't dance?

They could still have that story arc without him being sexist.

It could simply be a matter of machismo where he thinks that he'll win because he's undefeated / the toughest in his villain, etc. They probably won't. But they could keep the idea of him assuming that he'll win, learning from them, dressing like them, and so forth without it being directly sexist.

Let's say that you were somebody in the business who had talent, money, and connections. What would you do? Would you give up on it, find a surrogate, or create your own like George Lucas did when he couldn't get the rights to Flash Gordon?

• If I wanted to make a live action Mario movie, and Nintendo said no, I could easily settle for doing a Joe & Mac movie.
• Looking at Warner/DC, if they said no to me doing a Batman movie or a Catwoman movie, I would just do a film based on Miss Fury/Black Fury (the first female superhero to wear a black cat costume and one who is in the public domain). She's from World War II, so it'd be like an Indiana Jones movie starring Catwoman.
• If I wanted to do a Ninja Gaiden movie, but couldn't get the rights, I would see about acquiring the rights to remake American Ninja. If I couldn't do that either, I'd make an original property about a female ninja battling demons.
• If I wanted to do a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie, and Viacom said no, I'd probably have to let that one slide. I wouldn't want to do a film adaptation of Street Sharks or Biker Mice from Mars, nor would I want to create an original series of anthropomorphic animal heroes.

Edit: This doesn't have to be exclusive to movies. You could be talking about a comic book adaptation, animated series adaptation, video game adaptation, etc.

Late Friday night, Ontario PD told FOX 11 the suspect has since turned himself in

So the person they took into custody was some random unhoused person. I hope they let that person go. :(

Its a part we all tend to miss when a derivative work deviates from the original.

Sure the creators are upset, but they also sell off the rights for millions lol. Theyll be ok.

Kinda makes me think of the Ninja Turtles. I think their creators, at least one of them, would have legitimately rather the series had been kept a gritty independent comic than for them to have made something in the vicinity of 200 million back in the 80s off of the wacky cartoon show and its royalties.

She's aged gracefully. Aside from Halle Berry and Elvira (both vampires), nobody remains young forever.

Did they have (many) ads?
You all are selling me on these movies.

One every ten to twenty minutes or whenever I came back from a lengthy pause.

pedro45 posted...

How are you watching the movies? Are you streaming them or do you own them?

The two that I've watched so far this month are on Tubi. The others that I've mentioned are ones that I've seen previously. I own a couple on DVD.

One last thing before I call it a night, I had no idea the "sweeter the juice" line was originally from Foxy Brown. I thought Friday coined that phrase.

*sips Coffy*

Damn right.

Will you watch something not blaxploitation this month, or is that your usual trend for the month?

I'll watch other films too. But, yeah. It's a good excuse to watch some fun 1970s movies. Even when a film ends up being bad, the music is still good.

Anyone who turned down $20,000 to rescue a puppy could easily raise that much or more on a Go Fund Me.

I watched Foxy Brown tonight. It has a higher IMDb rating, but it feels to me like a step down from Coffy. And I don't mean because it has less nudity.

If I were to rank the blaxploitation films I've seen that have female leads, I would go as follows:

Coffy (1973)
Cleopatra Jones and the Casino of Gold (1975)
Foxy Brown (1974)
Cleopatra Jones (1973)
TNT Jackson (1974)
Sugar Hill (1974)

Damn it Rock.

Old fuck comes back to steal the spotlight and shit. He doesn't even wrestle full-time.

As if fighting a 50-something Hulk Hogan wasn't a top five match in The Rock's career.

CRON posted...

How are they going to stretch out the "finishing the story" stuff for an extra year for enough people to care?

The same way that they made Rock vs Cena Once in a Lifetime.

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/9/9f4c5977.jpg

Roman defeats his iconic relative.
He holds the belt for another year (surpassing Hogan).
Cody beats him to become the champion.

I like that plan aside from Step 1 and Step 2.

I dont feel bad for them. The original still exists for fans to enjoy.

The creators sold the rights for millions. If they wanted to maintain creative control, they penalty should have held on to the rights.

That casts a different light on the story. lol.

I don't know if it's my favorite, per se, but I sometimes find myself humming this tune after life's little victories:

That game was harder than it had any right being.

I get the feeling that one of the producers -- probably Ken Lobb -- was desperately afraid that someone might beat it as a rental.

As a kid, and as a teen, I could never beat WizPig. The acceleration trick is mentioned in passing in one easily skippable cutscene and is vital for beating him. Even after committing that missing piece of the puzzle to memory, it still took me the better part of two hours to beat him. The rematch took half as long, but that was still a chunk of time to devote to one boss race.

It blows my mind that we started calling LPs "albums" again. It sounds so antiquated.

If we ever get those flying cars the Jetsons promised, they'll probably be called flying locomotives.

<_<

Yeah, Mario Kart 64 is way worse for rubber band AI.

If you shoot an opponent with a shell as they're going over one of the ramps in Wario's stage, it should fix them for good because they have to cover a third of the race track all over again. Wait thirty seconds and they'll be right up on your tail again.

Does intoxication affect your boob vs ass preferences?

Although I agree with eliminating sexism as a character trait, it is funny to think that a cartoon from 2007 is dated. Then again, I guess that does happen.

The shotgun joke from Ratatouille wouldn't appear in a Disney movie today.

Body shaming is pointless in politics. (And hypocritical if coming from the left.)

I don't care about his weight, his tiny hands, his combover, or his spray tan. I'm not trying to date the man. I care that he ran on a platform of hatred. I care that he generalized Latinos as rapists, that he detained border children in cages and had illegal hysterectomies performed on Latinas entering this country without documentation. I care that he blames "China," like as if all of China were responsible, for the COVID virus. I care that he told people to drink bleach or take horse de-wormers rather than get the vaccine. I care that he allows white supremacists to fawn over him and declared plenty of them to be good people. I care that the dude is a fucking rapist and an insurrectionist who should spend every last one of his remaining days in a prison cell.

Unless you can give a credible argument for why a big belly or tiny hands are responsible for Trump doing the things he does, you're just letting off steam.

Original creators walking away from this project is starting to make more and more sense.

Avatar never called to me, but I do feel bad for the fans and original series creators. It's very disheartening to have a film and a streaming service series which both miss the mark of the show's original intent.

I'm being presumptuous on that last part, since the series isn't out yet, but that deleted post talking about Aang's character development being omitted to streamline the narrative seems to be pretty telling.

Why'd you get drunk?

Tim Curry was great. He was also Kilkahn from Superhuman Samurai Syber-Squad, Konk from Pirates of Dark Water, Captain Hook from Peter Pan and the Pirates, and Big Horned Guy from Legend.

I feel like popping in No Mercy and placing them in a fatal four-way to celebrate the end of an era.

Not to mention he's also a recurring Batman '66 villain, and one of only two of those who remain. (Riddler in Season 2)

A guy stole a pickup truck, ran the wrong way down the road, nearly ran over a cyclist, off-roaded, got stuck under a fence in the wash beneath the overpass, and eluded helicopter detection. The police are now detaining two suspects in the vicinity of a homeless encampment.

I hope this doesn't end up being a case of them arresting a homeless person and calling it a day.

The homeless camp will deal with him now.

I hope the police don't take this opportunity to decide they want to drive the homeless people away. If it wasn't before, that camp is on their radar now.

They cheated and were allowed to cheat.

Did you know he once performed a song about how much he liked to fuck 16 year old girls?

There used to be a radio station here that would play the politically incorrect song of the day. They had songs like "Cherokee People," "Girl, You'll Be a Woman Soon," and "You're Sixteen, You're Beautiful, and You're Mine."

He had the best name of the group.

Western author Louis Lamour said that notorious outlaw Johnny Ringo barely did anything (besides shoot one man in the back) and only made it into the history books because of his catchy name. I can't really argue against that.

If the name Ringo hadn't become synonymous with a member of, let's face it, the single-most iconic band of all time, I imagine it would have become a common stock name for flashy, sexy, or edgy characters in movies and TV shows.

It fits because they want America to be a white nation.

Also, I feel like calling them Nazis would be honoring them. At best, they should be called neo nazis (lower case "n") for emphasis that they are not a recognized army of fascists, but a bunch of unorganized racist shitheads with pipedreams of superiority.
