I think Hollywood has some pretty dark stories in these Star Wars and Avengers movies, they just happen to be brightly colored.
I'm about to start summer vacation myself, once I grade these papers. Cheers!
I am. I'm also anxious to hear whether I'm coming back to the same job in fall. One minute, I definitely shouldn't expect it, the next I'm told I should expect to, the next I'm told I shouldn't, etc. etc. etc.
Can't wait for Star Fox Heroes. Does it come with helmets?
Sergeant Namecheck is my favorite philosopher.
Yeah, all backlogs do is turn gaming into a chore.
I wonder what Angelo thinks of Nier being called more pretentious than smart. Fight!
I never really cared about exploration as much as other gamers, but I can see a visible moon being unreachable until later in Mario Odyssey turning me off. I guess they were going for kind of a Metroid thing that just doesn't work in a Mario game?
I just remember being hurt when even the GameCube box had Kameo stuff on it, but it didn't come to the system I'd bought.
So I'm glad to hear it has camera and control issues. Serves them right!
Ok, I've finally got some time to listen. Technically, I came into my office to grade portfolios, but that's easy and now I'm distracted. To hell with Future Joey's time and sanity.
I guess I didn't pick up on the different characterizations of Drax? I've seen Guardians 1 & 2 and thought his character changes were a pretty natural progression and that he really didn't change THAT much.
I enjoyed Thor: Ragnarok as well, because of the humor and the imagery, but I was baffled when critics said the tone was handled really well ... ummm ... they were cracking a joke not two seconds after Asgard fell. Felt pretty jarring to me.
I honestly don't think you HAVE TO watch any other Marvel movie to enjoy and understand the fairly simple and straightforward overall plot of Infinity War. You'd definitely get more out of it if you're familiar with the characters, but I don't think any adult moviegoer would necessarily be confused by it. But again, you definitely would have a better experience not going in blind, so I question why someone wants to see this if they haven't seen others. Only one I understand is people who were super excited for Black Panther just wanting to see him again when that's the only Marvel movie they saw.
The last party I was at, someone brought up Footloose and a lot of people hadn't seen it. A lot of people at that party still have not seen it. I saw the remake a few years back via Red Box. It was ok.
Wait, who gave Justice League a pass on SFX? Did you avoid reviews of that movie? The shitty SFX were definitely harped on to no end. Deservedly so in my opinion.
I honestly wasn't as affected by any of the deaths as anyone else I've talked with, because I didn't care as much about the dead-dead characters and I found the dust thing unconvincing as far as a permanent end for anyone.
I missed most of the last part of that while grading.
John Gholson is a familiar sounding name and voice and not just from this podcast, but I cannot figure out where else I'd have heard him.
Anyway, I had a list of MCU movies ranked, but Phase Three is just too hard to rank for me at the moment, so I gave up. Those are all pretty similar in quality to me.
