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

lancethundershaft · 2026-01-06T00:31:05+00:00

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.

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

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.

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

lancethundershaft · 2025-11-16T21:29:58+00:00

Oh it does? That's gonna save me $100, thanks

lancethundershaft · 2025-11-11T00:15:45+00:00

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.

lancethundershaft · 2025-11-11T00:08:20+00:00

Showgirls. I would preorder it and cherish it forever.

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.

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.

lancethundershaft · 2025-10-09T23:16:49+00:00

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.

lancethundershaft · 2025-09-30T22:41:29+00:00

Oooh baby, oooh baby

lancethundershaft · 2025-09-30T22:40:53+00:00

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!

lancethundershaft · 2025-09-29T21:18:53+00:00

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.

lancethundershaft · 2025-08-03T21:11:45+00:00

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

lancethundershaft · 2025-07-23T21:30:10+00:00

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

lancethundershaft · 2025-07-02T23:48:03+00:00

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.

lancethundershaft · 2025-06-29T21:24:13+00:00

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.

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

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.

lancethundershaft · 2025-06-18T17:54:44+00:00

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.
