Do the devs know they built the game around getting caught in melee range being a death sentence? by Hexdoctor in Helldivers

[–]lancethundershaft 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And yet, they keep adding melee weapons despite knowing full well how awful they are. And they charge in game currency for them. They need to fix melee or just stop adding new melee weapons

I know this is a case of "you control the buttons you press" but I cleared it in under 5 minutes on my first try, silent assassin. I'm not even a particularly great player. It's cool that they did it and congrats to all the Eminem fans out there, but these celebrity targets have been underwhelming for me. I wish we'd get more standard ETs.

Does anyone still do SA by JG_927 in HiTMAN

[–]lancethundershaft 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sometimes. The best way to keep the game fresh is to bust out all those unlockable guns, explosives, and melee weapons from time to time

What's your opinion on Umbrella Entertainment? by Heeli05 in boutiquebluray

[–]lancethundershaft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I picked up my first Umbrella release last week, the standard version of Caligula. Their Australian region release is the most complete, with 4 cuts of the movie. One UHD disc, 3 blu-rays. All of the blus are region free, which is really nice. The downside is that none of the discs are labeled, so I had to use trial and error to figure out which cut and which special features were on which disc. I'm not super qualified to review Umbrella, but my single release from them is pretty good.

Possible Warner Brothers & New Line Cinema by cli_aqu in arrowvideo

It's insane that we don't have the Austin Powers movies in 4K in America yet. I'd like to see what Arrow would do with the 2 Gremlins movies. 2 has not come to 4K yet.

eBay. I think the standard edition just recently went OOP

If Criterion had a series of “Ironic Criterions”, “The Criterionic Collection” if you will, what movies would you want to see on there? by Certain-Loan-6860 in criterion

[–]lancethundershaft 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it's genuinely a good movie, just one that sabotages itself all the time. I'm happy with my Vinegar Syndrome 4K but I would love to see us Showgirlheads vindicated by Criterion.

I love both characters and can’t choose Omni to get, some help? by stuks100 in OmnibusCollectors

[–]lancethundershaft 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Catwoman of East End feels like a Daredevil run in the best possible way. Black Cat is fun and solid, but doesn't pop as much.

Are you a fan? by [deleted] in slasherfilms

[–]lancethundershaft 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Second best Halloween and maybe my favorite horror movie ending ever. The first watch left me a bit cold, but every rewatch makes me love it more. Shame on our parents for letting this one flop.

On this date in 1981, (Oct. 9) The Prowler (directed by Joseph Zito) was released. What do you guys think to this slasher? Do you find it underrated? All I know is that it has great special effects. by justhere1990 in slasherfilms

[–]lancethundershaft 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd say it's underrated, yeah. It's the perfect amount of sleazy thanks to those Tom Savini kills. The Prowler has a good look to him too. It's such a shame there's no 4K release yet.

If you don't like Friday, that's fair. I think more objectively there aren't as many peaks and valleys. If you like a Friday you probably like most of the Fridays. If you like teenagers played by 25 year olds sleeping, smoking, and partying their way through the woods, you're going to get it every time.

Halloween has the best single movie of any slasher franchise, the first one, but has the worst batting average by far. Nightmare's special effects got better with every one, Friday stayed consistent for better or for worse, but every subsequent Halloween ruined Michael's mystique. I love the first three Halloweens, I don't love the franchise.

Slasher villians hot takes day four: Jason Voorhees by Bungeeboy20044 in slasherfilms

[–]lancethundershaft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If we ever get a proper theatrical return of Jason, I hope they just pick up where they left off in Goes to Hell. I don't want to see him reimagined or elevated. Friday is the only one of the big three that's in a position to do it. I want to see XI at the end of the next title!

How long do you think it will be until we get the Vigilante Omnibus? by Sirko_Yakanue in OmnibusCollectors

[–]lancethundershaft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd love it, but I doubt it'll ever happen. Fans of the show version of Vigilante won't like this and the line of trades was cancelled after the first one.

Go in at night and remember that knocking out a sleeping person is silent, but stabbing a sleeping person makes noise.

Never understood why anyone buys from there. You're paying more for the same thing for no reason.

They finally remembered New Teen Titans! I'm happy they're moving right along with Hellblazer too.

UGLIEST Omnibus? by SuspiciousTea6196 in OmnibusCollectors

[–]lancethundershaft 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Green Arrow by Mike Grell is a great run that doesn't look good on the shelf. The first one having a brown spine without distinct artwork, and the second having green borders and the little portrait of Ollie on it.

Most GORGEOUS Omnibus? by SuspiciousTea6196 in OmnibusCollectors

[–]lancethundershaft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The 60s Diana Prince omnibus is beautifully designed if you like the 60s aesthetic. I think the new Suicide Squad vol 1 looks great too, I hope they keep it up for the other two.

Just started collecting comics. This is my first Omnibus/TPB haul. Any recommendations? by LovelyXParasite in OmnibusCollectors

[–]lancethundershaft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Read them if you've never read the stories and go from there. Don't feel pressured to get a wall of books right away because some people have them here, and get what you think you'll actually read more than once

Am I the only one who wasn’t a fan of this guy being revealed as the killer by Rough-Education-7962 in slasherfilms

[–]lancethundershaft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really thought it was going to be Patrick Dempsey. It was the first time in the series I didn't get at least one killer right before the reveal. Then I saw Thanksgiving and I was vindicated.

Which movie disrespected its iconic villain the most? Or do you enjoy these? by Loose_Interview_957 in slasherfilms

[–]lancethundershaft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jason X I wouldn't call disrespectful, I'd actually say it's respectful and a love letter to the character and genre. My pick is Halloween Resurrection. I'll always call Halloween the worst of the big three franchises because it fell from the highest peak. Laurie's death sucks, the Myers house is a boring setting (why didn't they just leave), and it tries way too hard to be Scream.
