Actually, I take that back upon watching some Superman cartoons on YouTube (while simultaneously watching them on my PS3).
These are actually quite enthralling. The animation and voice-acting is better than I remember. I love the feeling of motion the cartoon gives you when Superman is flying in particular. So I'm upgrading it from 'watchable' to PDG.
Moments when a piece of entertainment completely rocked you.

Anyone else checked out the A-Team movie? I found myself thinking 'this is absolutely ridiculous and I don't mind one bit!' I'd say it doesn't take itself too seriously and just runs with refuge in audacity.

I loved the A Team movie, especially the cameos after the credits.

I saw an article about that. He felt it was too edgy--too much sex and violence, and said apparently the often-goofy tone of the old A-team doesn't sell these days.Crissa wrote:Mr T didn't like it.

I've heard the guy filling his old role on the team has been causing problems on the set, too.
He jumps like a damned dragoon, and charges into battle fighting rather insane monsters with little more than his bare hands and rather nasty spell effects conjured up solely through knowledge and the local plantlife. He unerringly knows where his goal lies, he breathes underwater and is untroubled by space travel, seems to have no limits to his actual endurance and favors killing his enemies by driving both boots square into their skull. His agility is unmatched, and his strength legendary, able to fling about a turtle shell big enough to contain a man with enough force to barrel down a near endless path of unfortunates.

That would explain the lack of a Mr. T cameo, I was kind of wondering about that. And I'm not surprised, very rarely does the old guard like the new young turks.
Airbender keeps cracking me up, starting with penguins reacting to Aang in a way that makes Scotsmen/hillbilly and sheep jokes pop up in my mind, and continuing with Iroh and Zuko's attempt to lie about what happened to their ship being a perfect example of a couple guys with no ranks in Diplomacy forced into a social situation.

Iroh is awesome. He is far and away one of the most awesome characters in the show.

no, I'd say Iroh has tons of charisma, not necessarily much diplomacy.
but yes, he's awesome

just started watching "Ong Bak 2" on netflix's watch instantly.
The movie starts out with all the sponsors for the movie even before anything happens. It's a little silly and sad but it rocked my world that they show it upfront and tell you who they got money from to make the film rather than at the end credits. yeah this isn't really rocking enough for this topic.
But Netflix's watch instantly rocks my world everytime I use it!

I think I just damaged an optic nerve from eyerolling at people using D&D terms to describe non-D&D things.
I mean, really.

Is 'There Will Be Brawl' any good or is it one of those things that gets praised all of the time but actually sucks when you look at it past the surface, like, oh, Chrono Cross? I've heard a lot of praise from the series, but the things people say that makes the series awesome seems like things that would make me want to avoid the series altogether like
.
Samus being a hooker or Kirby being the evil mastermind

Hulu has the first three episodes of "The gates" which seems to be an attempt at a show about a community for supernatural creatures living normal lives in a gated community. It shows a little promise but seems semi desperate housewivesy in humor/drama attempts.
I'm only 10 mins in the 2nd episode so I can't really judge it too well. But attempts to show a vampire family trying to raise an adopted child and having to deal with whatever unsaid social trauma and risk of getting to keep their child is pretty cool.

I like Equilibrium. The fight scenes are eye-catching, at least.Nicklance wrote:You mean the one with Keanu Ree- OH no no I mean Christian Bale.Psychic Robot wrote:Equilibrium is a good movie.

Also, funny thing is, Bale's next movie was The Machinist, where he literally starved himself down to look like a guy who hadn't slept in a year.
And his next role was Batman Begins

It was ok, wish they'd done more with Topher Grace's character, wish the more interesting characters, like Trejo's and the Sudanese terrorist(?) had gotten more screen time, but it was entertaining.
