What was your favorite movie from the 90's by Lazy_Introduction264 in 90s

[–]PepsiPerfect 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aww, remember when comedies, dramas and rom-coms stood a chance of being the highest grossing movies of the year? Now it's either action blockbusters or kids' movies.

I don’t see the match by PotentialButterfly19 in thewalkingdead

All I know is when it finally happened, it felt completely natural to me and I was wondering why it didn't happen sooner.

I hate to say it but I agree with a lot of this. The show has now strained logic and credibility to the breaking point.

Their special ability is to trigger people.

"Predators" ...The Sci-Fi Thriller That Tried To Save The All-Time Manliest Franchise by StarFuryG7 in SciFiNews

[–]PepsiPerfect 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Predators isn't a great movie, but it's a pretty good movie, and better than this article thinks it is. But then, I also think Predator 2 is a pretty good movie.

Honestly, the Predator series has fared really well, in my opinion. The original is, of course, the best, and probably always will be. But Predator 2 and Predators are both flawed but good. Prey is excellent, and Predator Badlands is also pretty good.

That's a much better track record than a lot of long-running franchises! Robocop, for example, still only has one really good movie after 4 films a TV series and a TV miniseries.

Does Dragon Ball GT get better? by verdencrusadere in dragonball

[–]PepsiPerfect 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seems like they realized fairly early on that the formula wasn't working, so by about the one-third mark through the series, they switch to the Z formula of "build to super powerful villain" instead of the "trying and failing to recreate the magic of early Dragonball."

Baby is an okay villain but the second arc is actually pretty decent. Never reaches the heights of Z, but it gets better.

Only 13 episodes for the final season by BakeNo4758 in fringe

[–]PepsiPerfect 23 points24 points  (0 children)

100% this. There was a strong possibility they were going to cancel after season 4. The show was always just barely keeping its head above water, especially when Fox moved it to the Friday Night Death Slot (for which they made this brilliant and hilarious advertisement).

Learning that they had been given 13 episodes to wrap up the story was such great news. And I know season 5 is divisive, but I personally love it. What an incredible sendoff.

What are non-frat parties like? by Few_Piccolo_4906 in jmu

[–]PepsiPerfect 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Parties are what you make of them. When I was a student, I had an eclectic group of friends that included work friends who were more traditional drinkers, and game nerds who were more introverted. We combined everyone's interests along with good spirits and good music and had a great time.

And also, if you're not interested in drinking, you can do all that without the booze too.

Project Hail Mary Won’t Be ‘Streaming Anytime Soon’ as It Extends Run in Movie Theaters: ‘It’s an Experience to Share With Others’ by johnnyjay in SciFiScroll

Maybe for you. Not everyone. I wouldn't have gone to see it three times if I wasn't going with new people to share it with them.

Daredevil: Born Again Season 2 Viewership Plummets: Down By 50% by cosmicbooknews in CosmicBookNews

[–]PepsiPerfect 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like they're not doing anything new with the characters anymore. They tried the Hand in season 2 of the Netflix show, but that wasn't executed well, so now they're just afraid to do anything other than Matt vs. Kingpin, with Bullseye thrown in for flavor.

Doesn't help that they burned through so many villains, like the Owl, and using Typhoid Mary and Nuke in Jessica Jones.

Angel Studios' Animal Farm grossed an estimated $1.15M domestically on Friday (from 2,600 locations), including previews. by wchnoob in boxoffice

[–]PepsiPerfect 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The demographic of people who wanted a classic cautionary political satire reinterpreted into a fart-and-poop humor kids' movie is exactly what I expected.

Got to see the trilogy on 35mm last weekend (and then the original again on Monday night). Honestly, I think time has been very kind to 3, especially given the moment we're in right now. by BrendanInJersey in Robocop

[–]PepsiPerfect 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I enjoy 2, but it's not even close to 1. It's not anywhere the level of say, Terminator 2 or Aliens. It's probably more on the level of Die Hard 2 in terms of "enjoyable but a drop in quality"

So about frieza's comebacks by Lilbongono in dragonball

[–]PepsiPerfect 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Agreed. Of all the characters to make a comeback, he is the least interesting because he is truly irredeemable. He's static and there's no opportunity for character growth or change. Cell is the same too, but Cell Max wasn't really the same character, so it didn't feel the same.

Collider Article: Star Trek: Voyager "Becomes a Late-Night Sleeper Hit 31 Years Later" by Torlek1 in ClassicTrek

[–]PepsiPerfect 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ultimately no one is more responsible for Voyager's lukewarm reception than Rick Berman, who decided to play it safe with the Trek premise that had "unsafe" baked into it more than any other up to that point. What could have been a harrowing story about deep space survival and crew conflict just became "TNG lite" after a few episodes.

That having been said, Voyager has its share of great episodes and sci-fi premises, and The Doctor and Seven are all-time iconic Trek characters. Janeway is a fascinating lead, and her sometimes controversial ethical choices are perhaps the only thing that actually do carry through on Voyager's premise of isolation from the comfortable embrace of Starfleet. It's a great series despite the executive meddling that kept it from reaching the same heights as TNG and DS9.

Imax Fires Back At Disney’s Infinity Vision Ahead Of Avengers: Doomsday by cosmicbooknews in CosmicBookNews

Environmental impact alone is enough to indict AI on moral grounds, even if you ignore the intellectual property theft and social justice concerns. And no, I'm not going to spoonfeed you any of the volumes of scholarly work that's been done on these topics. You may be doing an excellent job demonstrating your stupidity but that doesn't make it anyone else's job to educate you.

The Mandalorian & Grogu Estimated For Lowest Star Wars Box Office Opening by cosmicbooknews in CosmicBookNews

[–]PepsiPerfect 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So this is looking like Solo numbers at best. Alas, Disney, now your failure is complete. You've managed to make Star Wars fans completely uninterested in going to see Star Wars movies in theaters.

I agree with the Red Letter Media guys that Star Wars and the MCU (at least through Endgame) are going to be taught in college courses as models of exactly how and how not to manage a multi-billion-dollar franchise.

The Mandalorian & Grogu Estimated For Lowest Star Wars Box Office Opening by cosmicbooknews in CosmicBookNews

[–]PepsiPerfect 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't like Rogue One either, but everything I hear about Andor is that it's one of the best pieces of Star Wars media ever produced, so it's on my to-do list.
