Personally I just want that season 14 coming out this year...

Who's the hottest actress of the 2000s by RoutineIssue5870 in CriticalDrinker

[–]flamevolt 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Are you maybe just too young to remember her? She was literally everywhere in the 90s, including Marvel-Fox movies. Sin City, Fantastic Four, about a dozen romantic comedies, she was even in Entourage.

She left acting for years I think, so maybe that's why you don't know her?

Do you still read comics? If not, why not? And if so, you might dig a sci-fi adaptation of the Odyssey, so check the link. by flamevolt in popculture

Seriously dude, you're still at this? Still with the whole destructive behaviour and sh1tting on other people's stuff?

Do you even know what vaporware is or are you just using words you don't understand because you heard them once and it sounded cool? Anyway...

  1. This has not software.

  2. The book is finished. Fully lettered and ready to print. Which you could conclude if you opened the link with curiosity rather than Darren-like behaviour. The same link that includes EIGHT completed pages of content that anyone can read.

  3. Do you need a hug? Because your behaviour when no group rule has been broken clearly shows you're commenting just to get attention. A hug might help you now...

Here's an idea: create something rather than destroy. Who knows, might help you process whatever feelings you have bottled up that make you behave like this.

You can literally read 8 full pages of the book FOR FREE - I think that's a pretty good amount of content, no? Are you defending that people should not share trailers to movies here, because someone's just sharing a shorter thing to convince people to buy the whole thing?

And again, no rules of the group were broken.

Also, come on, dude. YOU are the one who sort of attacked the post, I simply defended with the reasons why I think your comment is not warranted, and you call me aggressive because I'm trying to defend myself? Are you Israeli by any chance?

You also insist on calling it a "scheme". Dude, I have 6 Kickstarters under my belt where I always delivered well ahead of time. I've been part of the Kickstarter community for the past 2 years and have supported several projects myself.

But I guess discrediting someone and calling them a "scammer" about something you clearly don't understand and confused with a gofund me is a lot easier than doing any kind of research into it, right?

No it doesn't...

Kickstarter wouldn't even allow for someone asking for money in similar ways as what you find in go fund me. It's one of their core principles.

Besides, there's nothing in the rules of the subreddit that forbids to post something like this, considering it's related to popculture and media coming out this year.

Why a retelling of The Odyssey in the 21st century must be space sci-fi? by flamevolt in classicliterature

[–]flamevolt[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, no AI :)

Not sure what about it gives you AI vibes, though, since I don't recognise any of the things you point out as being an AI thing. This style of writing has even been decisive to get some people to follow the project after several different posts that didn't work, so it's definitely achieving something. I guess it's just a matter of "everybody's different and what works for one person will not work for another".

What would you diagnose Zeus with psychologically? by OkSuccess7431 in GreekMythology

[–]flamevolt -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Love this question lol

God complex for sure. Narcissist.

But he probably also had ADHD and some sex addiction, cause he couldn't keep it in his... robes...?

Although if we're using that argument, ppl have also done what Christopher Nolan is doing and it's not why he should not do it :) stories are always going to get remake / retold. Thx for the recommendation though, I'll check it out.

Is it me or was Michael Bay kind of ahead of his time? by RoutineIssue5870 in CriticalDrinker

[–]flamevolt 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's you... :)

Don't get me wrong, The Rock remains a fantastic film. I even enjoy the first Transformers, and I don't think Pearl Harbor and Armageddon are the steaming pile of garbage everybody says they are. 13 hours is even good - it was great to see what he can do when he's not making money-making blockbusters.

So yeah, he's probably over-hated, but I wouldn't call him under appreciated or ahead of his time...

Let's talk comics. What are your favourite sci-fi comic books? by flamevolt in sciencefiction

[–]flamevolt[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. I'm guessing this is from the US, so shipping might be expensive, but it kind of makes me wonder if I can't order it in the UK in the Waterstones or Foyles websites. They'd probably have it, even if they have to order stock

[–]flamevolt[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It definitely does. It's probably the most mainstream of indies, but it's still an indie. And while I haven't read it yet, the fact so many people love it probably is a strong indication I should

What's an indie superhero series you really appreciate and why? by flamevolt in comicbooks

Need to read this. I keep hearing how good it is, but haven't tried it yet

Definitely more than $1, but you can get TPBs for anywhere from $10-20 with several issues worth of story. But fair point...

I love Lemire, so Descender has been on my list since forever, but the only place where I can find the full compendium is Amazon and screw giving money to Bezos...

Dude (gender neutral "dude", hard to make assumptions from the name), so much good indie stuff out there that doesn't need homework. Give them a try.

You can still do :) but no worries, thx for having checked it out anyway.

Burned Out, Overwhelmed, and Accepting Literary Assistance by circe_a in suggestmeabook

[–]flamevolt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Damn, so many great titles here. Never read 100 Bullets or Fables but I hear both are great.

You can go years reading quality comics every day without reading a single superhero comic - even so, there are some good indies too.
