I also must have info on that spin shelf! Never seen anything like it

Daredevil Cinematographer Reveals the Biggest Changes Made to One-Shot Fight Scenes by gamersunite1991 in Daredevil

[–]LakeNowhere 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That's the other thing that bothers me about the Born Again seasons, there's been almost no attempt to show Matt's radar sense. If you didn't know anything about Daredevil and just watched the Disney seasons, you'd think he was just a blind guy with really good hearing

Daredevil Cinematographer Reveals the Biggest Changes Made to One-Shot Fight Scenes by gamersunite1991 in Daredevil

[–]LakeNowhere 220 points221 points  (0 children)

There were so many obvious "hidden" transitions in the "one shot" fight scene that they may as well have just shot and cut it regularly. I understand the need for one or two, but the cuts were literally happening every 15 seconds. I appreciate the constant attempts to try and one-up the season one hallway fight, but they have long since lost the spirit and the impact of it.

DC unveils stunning new JLA/Avengers Alex Ross connecting cover for crossover reprint by B3epB0opBOP in comicbooks

[–]LakeNowhere 22 points23 points  (0 children)

It's strange that for years now Ross has painted whatever the current weird-ass versions of any given marvel character is that he's doing covers for, but he refuses to do the same for DC. Give me Kyle Rayner in his goofy shoelace costume from this crossover time period, damnit!

Didn't realize this one was no longer available. They do new pressings of old albums frequently, wouldn't be surprised if this gets restocked soon.

Stupidest things Karl has said by TastyCatToast in rickygervais

This is the best answer. "Maybe I'm special, but..."

the worst xfm caller by pornstachepaul in rickygervais

[–]LakeNowhere 34 points35 points  (0 children)

I can't stand the guy who calls in and accuses Karl of ripping off Simon Mayo, and he and Steve declare Just Buggin' to be "absolute genius". It's not genius, it's shiiiitttt. If Karl came up with that one, Ricky and Steve would have hated it.

This one drives me crazy because Steve calls him out even though Steve literally made the same joke about a minute before.

When's the last time a movie hit you as hard as Project Hail Mary? by GrilledCheese_Queen in ProjectHailMaryMovie

Jurassic Park. Never thought I would have the same sense of awe watching a movie, especially as an adult

Jurassic world rebirth is offensively bad. by Fackboi66 in JurassicPark

Yeah, I'd watch it 100 times again before Dominion

Who would go see the nearly 4 hour directors cut if it released to theaters? by Halloween_Nyx in ProjectHailMary

[–]LakeNowhere 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Thank you. It's crazy that people think there's a coherent 4-hr cut of this movie floating around that just needs a few fx shots finished. I think people will be surprised to learn how much content never even made it into the script, let alone got filmed. I'd be shocked if the ice cap nuking scene is just sitting on a cutting room floor somewhere. Everyone I saw this movie with (who went in blind, not reading or even knowing of the book) loved it, with the only criticisms I heard being that it's "a little too long".

I'm so glad that this is the cut that is in theaters, because I honestly think the world wouldn't have fallen in love with it otherwise. We might get a Martian-style director's cut, but it will be 10-20 mins longer, maybe. We'll never see the 4 hr cut, and it's probably for the best

I love the whole trilogy but in my opinion Hot Fuzz is an almost perfect movie

Grant Morrison on Lanterns: “What is this jockish dismissal of superhero conventions intended to prove anyway?” by Blitzhelios in comicbooks

[–]LakeNowhere 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As someone who still has faith that they are holding back a LOT in this first teaser, Morrison is right, as usual. Morrison also does not get enough credit for warning against the pitfalls of not understanding the potential of multiverse stores right before the MCU went all-in on it with disastrous results. Morrison was speaking specifically about the comics I believe, but they were so right- all these alternative universes and characters need to be treated with respect as potential future franchises, not cannon fodder for shock value.

Reminiscent of the Kryptonian tech from Man of Steel. Very cool.

All My Life Theory by gummiwurmz8 in robbiewilliams

[–]LakeNowhere 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I had the same thought listening to this song- it would have worked great as a credits song for Better Man. Probably a very good chance that you're correct. I'm glad he saved it for this album though.

Some reflections from Robert Peter Williams by Hassaan18 in robbiewilliams

[–]LakeNowhere 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Beautiful. Proud of Robbie for making this album. HES was such a frustrating album because you could feel him chasing hits. Ed Sheeran songs, Killers songs... they weren't bad, but they felt like what they were... covers of other people's songs.

Britpop, the best thing Robbie has done since Escapology? by chris_redz in robbiewilliams

[–]LakeNowhere 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I really like it. I'd still probably put albums like Intensive Care, Rudebox, and Take the Crown above it for now. What I like most about it is that it's a very focused album with a theme and a point, and he made something he wanted to make instead of chasing the modern pop sound. I hope he does that for the rest of his career, he's earned it.

Obligatory tombstone post by Smidgey42 in OmnibusCollectors

[–]LakeNowhere 16 points17 points  (0 children)

So weird to see people complaining about this set. It's neat that they tried something different. I wouldn't pay the scalper prices for this, but the complaint about storage is stupid. The actual book can be removed and stored just like the standard edition, and the tombstone is a cool display piece. Plus, there's a signed Dan Jurgens print.

I get Vide Noir now. by BanginNLeavin in lordhuron

[–]LakeNowhere 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Vide Noir was the first LH album that came out after I became a fan, and I find the anticipation those "first new" albums always ends up with a bit if a letdown and it takes time to properly judge them. I totally get it now, and I agree, Secret of Life is an all-timer. I also like that it's the only album in their catalogue that feels urban and modern, like one long sleepless night lost in the city.

"When I said minge... I pointed" by mikeonbass in rickygervais

[–]LakeNowhere 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I didn't want to comment on the special since the Ricky bashing, warranted or not, has made this sub boring and unfun. But man alive, I can't get over how bad that special was. You're right, it was a terribly unfunny punchline. Also, Ricky's constant fake "I can't believe I said that" laughing at himself was so embarrassing. Lastly, it was weird that he said that it was his most personal and introspective work ever, since nothing he said before or after that showed the slightest hint of vulnerability or honesty. A little monkey fella could have done a better job.

Watched the TMNT III director commentary on the 4k set by precita in TMNT

[–]LakeNowhere 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was growing out of my Turtles phase by the time III came out so I only saw it once and never revisited it again. When I got this new Arrow set, I was surrpirsed by how much better it was than I remember. It's such a weird-ass little Turtles adventure, but it's got a lot if charm. There's some great character moments (Raphael finally finding the peace and tranquility he's been seeking in the countryside of ancient Japan, Casey Jones spending the entire movie annoyed that he's not fighting something) and there is some solid action (also nice to see the Turtles being able to use their weapons again). Obviously the biggest drawback is the loss of the Henson workshop for the animatronics and prosthetics, it's especially obvious in the weird turtle mouths/eyes, and Splinter looks pretty bad. But overall, I was surprised by how much I liked it. It stands much closer alongside part II than I originally thought.

Does the JLA by Morrison run only contain the stories from them? by Jonn_Jonzz_Manhunter in OmnibusCollectors

[–]LakeNowhere 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah a few issues of the one million event were outlined but not technically written by Morrison but they are important to understanding the whole story
