I was not expecting a tragedy

Felt like it was initially what inspired Megamind but then it goes in another direction.

Heard about this for years when I was on my nathan filion and joss whedon and neil patrick harris kick a decade ago.

The only thing I'd really agree with him on is Joker being the killer of Batman's parents. I disagree on everything else.

why do you think people disliked that?

I like this one too

Hah, I chuckled at that one.

Why would Columbo be able to see a shinigami?

This is great, AI voice though?

I thought coven of chaos was pretty funny.

Lol disney, they really decided to make an entire series around a character in a one-off show because she happened to be really popular with the fans and audience. So they decided that was enough to make center an entire show on.

I'll be buying all the suggestions itt since better safe than sorry and it's good to have several options.

Especially since I won't be able to really test it out to know they work until I end up unlucky again and have another big thorn lodged in my shoe.

Also am I suffering from same face syndrome right now or do they look related/really similar to each other.

A) This is a really toxic way of looking at relationships

B) Dude looks like discount Tom Holland

Peter Falk's health would start to deteriorate after this (and he was already 76 when this aired) so it pretty much served as the series finale. But honestly I agree with the sentiment that it kinda works as a finale. Instead of some big larger than life final case, it's just Columbo as he always was, steadily working case by case, bit by bit at cracking said case.

Lucky. Based on the pic I can only imagine how much more beautiful they look actually seeing them in person. Pretty damn cool

Funny that she had to specify that work was performed by young men instead of just men

Also just how internalized the sexism was.

This is an interesting relic to see just how accepted and widespread sexism was.

Reminds me of this

Ah thanks, I knew it was golf related but had happy gilmore in my head.

Well those screenshots were hilarious, take my upvote and stay.

Ah 2011, when Family guy would be called funny and amusing.

I know that " Well? We're waiting! " scene from somewhere but can't quite remember which movie?

Might want to try a craft store. Some of the ones intended for jewelry work can be surprisingly rugged.

A craft store? You mean like Michaels? Or Claire's?

What about using forceps?

Those also sound like a good idea if strong enough while being slim enough

So that's why I literally never heard of the sega saturn until I joined the internet... I just read up on that "$299" PS1 announcement and it's crazy that sega even recovered from that enough to make the dreamcast before bowing out of the video game console industry. I thought they went from Genesis to Dreamcast because that's what people around me had

The first one in the polls seems the most historic.

But boy does Nintendo's hate of piracy drive them to make some weird decisions, like the ugly gamecube mini-disc. It still drives them to this day. And I get it, video games are literally their livelihood they're not quite the conglomerate that Microsoft is with several divisions and money out the wazoo.

Ps3's infamous price point basically cost Sony not just 1st place but 2nd, yet it also forced them to reevaluate so that's good. Like Nintendo, if Sony goes unchecked they'll do even more anti-consumer things.

The "ps3 as bluray player" is funny to me because it was true, the console came out right when bluray won over HD DVD and it was the reason that the higher hardware sales were at odds with the lower software sales. But it's extra funny because while bluray did effectively replace DVDs, the move to digital in the 2010s has made it so that most people just stream movies in the 2020s, and bluray is mostly for diehard fans of whatever media it's holding. I've noticed it's mostly the older generation still buy physical media, while the new generation just watch on their phones, for better or worse.

Wish Microsoft was self-owned in raising the game price point, introducing online, and basically all of DLC... but nope all 3 things especially the last 2 succeeded beyond imagination, much to the detriment of gaming as a whole.

These look perfect! Have to test them out

They do, they're called pliers.

Need to find a pair with small enough endpoints to be able to latch onto a thorn, but strong enough base to pull it out. Gonna check ace hardware and see if they have what I'm looking for

Someone needs to invent this already.

I go trekking through the woods and bits of thorn and bramble always get stuck under my heel, like the ones that fall from these

https://lampofthelambart.files.wordpress.com/2020/01/thorns_plants_spikes_715792_o.jpg

Once every blue moon I'll be unlucky and end up stepping on a particularly long thorn that ends up really stuck way up my shoe, almost up to the insole. Getting it out with every day tweezers is a chore, sometimes next to impossible especially if I don't want to risk breaking it off while still inside the shoe because at that point I'll have to cut my losses and buy another shoe altogether, and all that that entails.

Having never heard of this show, it really makes me think about how JGL has been steadily working for years but never really seems to seek the limelight. Dude could have been Nightwing, that was the one takeaway that could have been good from tdkr. He was perfect for the role.

I think you have to put the film in its proper context. In 1989, when most people thought of Batman, they thought of the 1960s campy Adam West version. This Batman was the first one to bring a darker (comparatively) tone to the series and did it quite successfully. It was also one of the first big summer blockbusters that had huge merchandise tie-ins (games, books, toys, etc), and made a big splash within the culture. Everyone was wearing batman shirts, consuming batman media, the stuff was everywhere! There had never been anything like it except for maybe Star Wars.

It definitely was. While Superman 78 was the first big superhero movie, the cultural impact that Batman 89 had was unparalleled, and it is arguably considered the movie that broke barriers and allowed all successive comic book media with complex storylines or characters, be it tv show or movie, to exist in some shape or form. Batman was almost considered a goofball before this movie, on an Aquaman level, due to stuff like the Adam West show and Superfriends.

This was a decent comparison.

Wait, all 3 budokais were part of this controversy? Goddamn, thought it was just the first one. Even earth wind and fire...

I honestly credit this game not having the Buu arc as a reason why I like it the least of the main story arcs.

I played this game so much as a kid that saiyan saga to cell saga WAS dragon ball z to me. The Buu saga did not exist and the series ended with cell.

So when i eventually discovered i was missing an entire part of the story, it just felt grafted on and artificial to me. Crazy how your perception of something as a kid can inform some opinions for the rest of your life

Likewise, pretty much the exact same scenario for me

I'll be honest, I don't really disagree (except for the Danny Elfman score). The film is pretty dull, and while Jack Nicholson is, himself, great, his joker was nothing special. Most jokers feel unique and twisted in their own special way; his was a generic mob boss with maybe a couple jokes, and a catchphrase that could have made him one of the Wet Bandits.

The best part about the movie was that it inspired the Animated Series, which is incredible

Even that accomplishment is shared with Batman Returns

I remember years ago seeing a video comparison of the so called plagiarized music but can't find it now. I don't have an ear for music so I didn't really hear enough of a similarity to warrant the controversy but if I listen to it now I might.

Still have this game on gamecube, that means I can still play/listen to it as is right. It was my primary method of seeing DBZ's story since I rarely got a chance to see it as it aired.

I like how the kid from Cobra Kai is a clear reference to that 90s era, especially since he looks like Shawn

Payback is such a great film. It really channels that old style flick IMO.

watched it just a few months ago. Last time I watched it before then was back when New Vegas released.

I remember liking the movie when I was younger but checking its RT score now and it's much lower than I would have thought.

Tons of movies are good for long flights. I always download a variety of movies and TV shows before a flight. I dont feel like one certain genre of movie or a specific actor makes for a good flight movie necessarily.

I used to watch whatever's on the in-flight entertainment for years, but being able to download movies/shows is such a game changer it made me wonder why I didn't do this sooner; I can listen with my own headphones, guaranteed subtitles, and best of all no pilot interruption:

payback is just an inferior remake of Lee Marvins Point Blank movie

No relation to Grosse Point Blank?

I agree with the premise but not with the example provided (a jason statham movie) because I can barely understand him as is with no subtitles, I'm definitely not gonna understand when I'm on a plane and tired and out of focus

I don't know anything about this story but I just wanted to say this means it IS possible. We can get companies to back down and change their ways. Consumers really should unite more to stop companies screwing us over.

I was actually semi-interested in the Pop Tarts movie, as someone who was a fan of the dessert pastry. Real shame they couldn't have made it good/funny/entertaining for a subject matter I'm into.

I haven't seen Payback in 20 years so I didn't even remember Lucy Liu was in this movie. I just remember Mel Gibson being betrayed and lying on the floor.

... Hold up, I wonder if GTA 3 was inspired by Payback. Don't know if I made the connection back then but this just came to me.

The topic title is a reference to The Boys after hours show on amazon prime; it's hosted by aisha tyler (the girlfriend in FRIENDS who Ross and Joey were fighting over) where the cast were hanging out talking about the show, and they joked that Antony Starr wins the contest of "person most like their character in real life"

I draw the line at the iconic Danny Elfman score. Everything else I can shrug at but that part is just wrong.

yea her talents are on full display in that video

She's actually even more talented, this video is just more of a product promotion type video that used to be done back in the day

I don't really have much to add if anyone is interested in talking about this show so just leaving this here:

Fun fact: each of those main characters is played by an actor who actually auditioned for said role.

The answer you find out won't shock you: He had to ask permission from the producers behind 3rd Rock from the sun to get it cut, wasn't allowed to do so otherwise.

Always got annoyed with his long hair when I watched the show as a kid, and I still remember the episode where he gets it cut and I was like "oh my god he looks so much better now!"

Don't worry saspa, I got the joke at the very least.

Oh phew. I was feeling downright crestfallen until seeing your post.

I'm all but convinced companies only update websites to screw with users, and shut down any exploits users might have found to make their viewing experience more comfortable. Like it used to be you could watch youtube videos that required a sign-in by simply adding a couple of slashes in the url. Now youtube has removed that convenient shortcut to force you to sign in.

I just hope they don't get rid of the method we use to turns shorts videos back to regular youtube videos, although it's bound to happen.
