It's a tradition for Japanese porn. Insanely random subtitles.

Thanks for the info. :thumbup: I might have a look, if it shown here on this side of the Atlantic as well. Regarding Lena Headey, I mostly remember her from Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles (with Summer Glau as the terminator). She was also in St. Trinian's, a movie with lots of beautiful yo...

I didn't know it was James Cameron's either, I thought that was Piranha 2. That's cool though. Maybe it's partly why the movie is good.

Edited to add, daaaaaaaaaamn, he did the effects and it had James Horner do the sound track. Somebody had an eye for talent on that (what should have been) mess.

Dogfish

It's ironic that by all accounts one of the better recent movies has walked straight into the general fatigue with superhero movies. It's an insurmountable problem for the MCU. Fans will still want to watch, but for the average folks the story of the MCU peaked at Endgame. Nothing since then has had...

Remake of Battle Beyond The Stars. I'm down to clown but where's the Valkyrie at?

Dogfish

I'm looking forward to this, partly because massive lizard (obviously) but also because I want to see what the writer/director are trying to say with setting it so close to the end of WW2. Changes the narrative slightly from, "Oh no, the giant lizard is destroying the city" to "Well i...

It's super disappointing that the whole world of The Boys became pretty much exactly the thing it was mocking with the MCU etc. I'm not about to do the prior course reading to be all up to speed for season four of The Boys. Also seasons ending on a bum note has become something of a running theme fo...

I for one am shocked that a show that looks like it cost a hundred bucks to make is bad. Something looking cheap to me is a sign it might have flown under the radar and actually be good. Big money stuff these days seems to be a designed by committee snooze-fest. The amount of money required to make...

Smokey and the Bandit is decent, but that song is an all timer.

Dogfish

Shy Guy from Bad Boys absolutely slaps. Movie not so much. Almost Unreal from the first Super Mario movie.That's like, not a hard movie to make a song better than though. Absolute Beginners from the movie of the same name. Not quite peak Bowie, but it's an absolute stinker of a movie. Do You Want To...

Okay so this is how I accidentally discover that Ana de Armas is in a John Wick spinoff called Ballerina next year. I could watch Ana de Armas do her taxes so her in a John Wick-a-like movie is perfection. But, yeah, Highlander movie could be a hoot. Would be interesting to see who gets to be the Ku...

Dogfish

Given the sad state of DC affairs I doubt they can actively enforce copyright except maybe the Gal Gadot version of WW. And there is a point, if the cat is out of the bag too much, there's not much they can do. Probably they would destroy one person to set an example. I don't know why it has to mat...

Dogfish

Maybe she needs to appear more often in Harley Quinn. If Bane can fuck a building then maybe there's a chance for something with Wonder Woman.

Dogfish

Could definitely see Wonder Woman projecting a whole 'Step On Me Mommy' energy instead of being hot girl superman.

Could definitely not see that happening in a DC sanctioned commercial product though.

Dogfish

For sexploitation I guess there's whatever Euphoria is/was. I don't keep track of the porn substitutes because of course what they didn't have back then was hot and cold running porn. I guess modern Evel Knievel is randoms doing stunts on the Youtubes and whatnot. Of course there was Ken Block too (...

Dogfish

She can't not be hot, so there's that. If I explained where the BDSM enters into things I'd be spoiling it. Suffice to say there is some. It's less Road Warrior and more Death Race, which is older still than Damnation Alley and Sly Stallone's best role. Cast of larger than life characters in tricked...

Dogfish

It's not cherry picking though is it, he does this all the time. Superman is supposed to be a good guy in general. Folks have got brainworms from the Snyder version where he didn't give a fuck about anything or anybody, but that's an outlier not the default.

Dogfish

Since when is that not Superman's mission? Here's fairly famous poster from 1949 for example. https://static.dc.com/sites/default/files/imce/2017/08-AUG/Superman_American700_59a0b47e397f63.76112626.jpg Other than like the five seconds when Zack Snyder appropriated the character and tried to wreck it...

Dogfish

I kinda want to hear Samoa Joe doing the lines. Cuz He's Brilliant when he's allowed to talk on TV. Yeah I'm surprised they didn't, I guess they wanted the clown to sound smart/cultured given his background. Not sure that wouldn't have been possible from the wrestler himself though, it's not like W...

Dogfish

Yeah, it's pretty good.

Silly, gorey, and there is sex in a ball pit. It's probably better than it deserved to be considering Twisted Metal is a really weird game series to dig up.

Dogfish

2026 is a long time in superhero movies. Be interesting if they actual let Gal Gadot (presumeably) sign off with a movie actually in the main timeline rather being irrelevant random bullshit like the last two.

I'm talking about the Klingons in the musical episode specifically.

Dogfish

The musical episode was about as good as a musical episode can be, given my brain just doesn't get musicals. I think like 90% of its success lies with the Klingons though.

I think The Last Of Us spawned a generation of fungus horror stuff. But if humanity is smart and works together we will survive it. Horror is such an inexpensive genre too produce it lends itself both to random cool original ideas, and also no less than one billion knockoffs a year of whatever the ...

That's insane that Natalie Portman doesn't have one. She's got an Oscar. She's been in great movies, decent movies, and she's been in some gigantically profitable trash movies too. How you going to have an Oscar and no star holy crap. More spy style McGuffin chase movies is a good idea too. The more...

I dived into a bit of the video at random just for a taster and he described Starfleet as military so I'm out. Fundamental misunderstanding of the subject matter. Insert le trash meme face. It is rather vexing to see people like that trying to co-opt Star Trek into something it's not. The Family Guy...

The thing with the AI stuff is that you still need to learn it, and frankly it's going to be easier to get to a higher standard with the real thing, be that actors or artwork than it is to fake it with AI.

I should have known with the Lower Decks episode that something brutal was about to happen and so it was with episode eight. Star Trek loves to go light and breezy right before hoofing you in the nards. I think the show is setting the stage to replace M'Benga with McCoy, which should be happening in...

Yeah the Marvel/Disney movies know very well what they are allowed to get away with to be shown in shithole censorious despot countries, and since patriarchal societies have no problem with muscly dudes because is all very straight and macho, we get loads of them because it's the only fanservice the...

Just going to chalk the idea of female beauty leaving videogames up to your boy being some kind of fake nerd. Hotties abound in videogames, even the female demon monster thing in Diablo 4 is hot (or I guess coded hot, not into demons myself). There's probably one or two examples around where a main ...

Dogfish

I suspect this show is definitely finding a fanbase.

Dogfish

The Lower Decks crossover is probably the best episode of Star Trek since DS9. Holy crap.

Dogfish

You do remember though that the stuff we grew up on was didactic. Those old He-Man cartoons used to take it as far as to stop for a PSA. Star Trek taught lessons. The X-Men was always about being nice to minorities. Captain America always punched Nazis. Superman went after the KKK in 1946. Maybe th...

Dogfish

The vast majority of us are simply uninterested in "learning a lesson" when we watch a TV show or a movie. We are not interested in an entertainment vehicle being DIDACTIC. We want to product to be ESCAPIST, and that's true of the *vast majority* of the consumer audience worldwide. So, fo...

Seeing more of this Lois is actually pretty good. She genuinely likes Clark, yes Clark and she doesn't treat him like crap like almost every other version of Lois. She's naive, spunky, has a bit of curve, isn't condescending to Clark. Also Clark is less of a doormat than it first seemed, and he's c...

Dogfish

New trailer looks okay. The whole powers switching things around conceit looks like an interesting mutator on the standard formula. Might check it out although my backlog of MCU stuff is getting chunkier. I don't expect it'll do that well, but the dirty little secret here is I don't think it looks l...

Lane wasn't bad looking. Pretty chatty and full of tropes. And they handicapped superman. Yes I like boy scout superman over broody superman. It's a problem when he's new and hasn't got a generally invulnerable costume handy. He has to find a disguise and whatnot. I like his physical presence in th...

Looks like the cottage industry built out of outraged noises on Youtube about Captain Marvel is back. Hooray. Yes gets old. Not like Disney listens. They're not there for Disney to listen to them. The outrage is the product. It's the same deal that talk radio was for older folks. A lot of millenial...

The first episode is on the Youtubes.

Looks fine. Nice robot fight at the end. A return to Boy Scout Superman, which is the best kind.

Dogfish

I wouldn't be so quick to dismiss the fact it has She-Ra reboot alumni on it as a bad thing. That show did a lot better than the original. They know what they are doing and who the target audience is (the bad news is that it's probably not most of the folks here, but it's good news for the folks who...

Dogfish

No further response is necessary. Superhero characters don't look like that any more, any more than they look like Gold or Silver Age characters, or like they look like how they were in the 1990s.

Now they look like this. Lipless anime weirdos.

Dogfish

You actually can wish history away, every new interpretation is equally valid as the one before it, and every interpretation that is no longer in use is dead.

When I saw this week's ep, I was thinking about that barbarian he "fought" on Talos IV. I guess that was a different planet? Yes. Talos IV is not allowed to be visited by any Starfleet vessel, ever. Transgression is punishable by death. This is General Order 7 of the Starfleet Directives ...

Lois Lane has always been the boss and Clark and Jimmy have always been her sidekicks. I don't know why anybody would pretend that's a new take on the characters. Clark always plays the role of Beta Cuckington so that she never suspects him of being Superman. Also Livewire looked like this on her co...

Technically I don't think the civil rights lawyer was in the Federation, she was from the people that were genetically modified, if they wanted to be in the Federation they had to suffer for it, so they still had their own independent planet (I think).
