It begins immediately after the ending the first movie. The plot is that the town has had enough of Michael's murder spree and decide to form a mob to take him out. The idea is great but the movie executes it poorly. A lot of the run time is spend on characters talking about what happened in the original film and the last movie. People hunting for Michael do the dumbest shit and end up getting themselves killed because of it. I don't even want to get started on all the shit Michael survives DangerousJ and Chadouken 1 1 Quote Link to comment

MillionX Posted March 17, 2022 Author Share Posted March 17, 2022 Oh yeah, the unpopular board over at reddit had inspired me recently... A few stretchmarks are sexy, imo....same deal for a *little* bit of cellulite. The character designs in One Piece are still trash. Every other popular anime/manga is far above it in terms of having reasonably good character designs, imo. Gasoline smells great! I've loved it since I was a little kid. I also like the smell of tobacco, though I have no interest in being a smoker (*or consuming tobacco in any other way; seems like a disgusting habit, imo) Sagging pants looks stupid. It's a real shame that this fashion seemed to originate from my generation; Gen-X. Later generations just took it even further and now have their entire ass/underwear hanging out for everyone to see. It doesn't make much sense in having so much pride in ethnic background, imo...since that is not something you have control over. You just happened to be born as a black/white/asian/hispanic/etc. person because of who your parents are....so it's not an actual achievement, like getting an advanced degree or earning promotions at work, or doing well in school, etc. TheInfernoman, DoctaMario, DangerousJ and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment

MillionX Posted June 15, 2022 Author Share Posted June 15, 2022 (edited) I tried it a few weeks ago, actually... uncooked cookie dough... just because I've heard several people going on about how oddly enough they like that almost as good as the actual fully baked form... and I enjoyed it. I prefer the real deal though; a freshly baked batch of cookies... white macadamia last time... that had the kitchen smelling great, of course. Immortality---this continues to be the major thing that I disagree with most people in the world on, from what I see.... I'll take the deal without question. I was just daydreaming once again about how cool it would be to still be here for whatever happens a few thousands of years from now.... like imagine what kind of celebration there is for when we hit the year 10,000. (or when it hits 9,000 AD since then you can say we're in the "100th century!" now)...assuming the human race hasn't gone extinct by that point, of course. It would fascinate me to no end to see whatever happens from here until the true end times, whether that's 300 years from now or 30,000 years from now, or millions of years later and beyond. Of course, it would be preferable to have other supernatural powers backing this up....being invincible and having the ability to fly super-fast and teleport would be nice for the distant future when Earth no longer exists.

DarkSakul Posted June 15, 2022 Share Posted June 15, 2022 Predictions: Console gaming has maybe 1 or 2 more generations left. Before going Sony and MS next Console will be a joint venture. Nintendo will make a Switch upgrade "maybe 4k support" if they are smart, perhaps maybe 1 more console after that if they are lucky. Before going the way of Sega and be a purely software developer.

MillionX Posted June 15, 2022 Author Share Posted June 15, 2022 (edited) Oh another one that a lot of folks from my generation might disagree with--- despite the flaws of this modern era of gaming, I still prefer the way things are currently as opposed to the 8-bit or even the 16-bit era. For one thing, there's way more variety out there; way more games. In the 8-bit era it was really just NES and Master System....and there was no mainstream games giving us the kind of content we'd see today... like the insane, over the top gore-fest from things like Mortal Kombat and Gears of War, or games where you are definitely the bad guy, like Postal and Hatred.... to crazy shit like the Saint's Row franchise. Towards the end of the 2010s era we'd get one of the greatest portables of all time with the Switch in 2017, followed up by the Steam Deck now in 2022... of course it wouldn't even be fair to compare the Gameboy of 1990 to these systems. (**man, imagine if you had a time machine... and went back to show your 1980s self the Switch, the Vita or the Steam Deck.) Race-swapping characters is still incredibly dumb, imo. It's strange to me that this has ever been even up for debate either way...especially now in modern times. I'm already prepared to laugh about how they will more than likely have a black woman play Jean Grey in the new-era of the X-men movies soon. The only question is what other character will they swap, because I bet it's going to be more than just Jean. *ah, a podcast I'm listening to just reminded me that there is a Twisted Metal series in the works... if the show involves Calypso, then we know what will happen there, since he's known as a redheaded white guy from what I remember 🤣 (**Casting call = "...actual redheaded white people need not apply.")

iStu X Posted June 15, 2022 Share Posted June 15, 2022 (edited) Beast could be easily be a black dude. Kelsey Grammar was choice casting though. I could see Rogue being black because of southern heritage and stuff. Bobby Drake being black would honestly be fine. I get why race swapping can be bothersome but depending on how the adaptation goes about it I don’t particularly care Edited June 15, 2022 by iStu X Quote Link to comment
DangerousJ Posted June 15, 2022 Share Posted June 15, 2022 For some reason, I have this gut feeling either Xavier or Magnus will be blackened. Jean is the most well known white girl of X-Men. Despite the Darc Requiem hypothesis, I think she will remain Anglo Saxon. I doubt Iceman will be blackened bc a lot of people want to see a white gay guy more than a minority gay guy. (Sounds stupid but there seem to be more racist gays than one would think) If Beast was blackened, some Twitter ho will cry racism because of his animal form. Marvel Studios may pull some other diverse characters who aren't as traditionally seen as long term team members like Sunfire, Thunderbird etc. Quote Link to comment
Hawkingbird Posted June 15, 2022 Share Posted June 15, 2022 If I had to guess Beast will be Asian. Making him black will have unfortunate implications if they don't go with the cat form. The black gay best friend is a trope I been seeing pop up in a lot of shows I can see Iceman fill that role. DangerousJ 1 Quote Link to comment
MillionX Posted June 15, 2022 Author Share Posted June 15, 2022 (edited) haha "blackened" is a funny way of putting it; I'll have to steal that... I forgot about Iceman---that's a strong candidate too because of the gay thing, actually... since Hollywood (for obvious reasons, imo) also would rather prominently feature gay black men on screen as opposed to straight black men, so that's more "progressive points" they could score there. Just like the White redheads... *Straight*, traditionally masculine Black men need not apply. (so---perhaps Billy Porter as Bishop then? haha) Really, if I was a struggling actor trying to make it today... I'd lie and come out as "pansexual" or non-binary just to get more work... it would be hilarious to see that gameplan actually work too. (*the beauty of this strategy is that it still allows me to be seen publicly with whoever is the latest girlfriend. I often wonder sometimes what famous people out there are outright lying about this shit just to stay relevant? 😆) If I were a white guy with reddish hair, trying to make it as an actor----I'd definitely dye my hair since redheads aren't allowed on anything other than random tv commercials. (*Jessica Chastain being the only notable exception at the moment; and I guess Amy Adams but I haven't seen her in a while...and she's not getting any younger so it might be over for her; off to Lifetime/Oxygen holiday romcom movies, I guess.)... but yeah I have no shame. I'd just lie lie lie like it's going out of style to get more roles and to keep my name out there....start off straight and then "come out" as non-binary later for maximum effect. We can go ahead and say goodbye to the regular Magneto because he's another strong candidate; they've already been trying to talk that up in the past year or so. The fact that they are mutants basically preloads the easy solution to the problem of him being tied to a real historical event---just say some or all mutants age slower than normal humans, and there ya go. They'd likely reference that tie to WW2 as an excuse for changing him-- "well, a guy from WW2 era would be too old by now soooo..." etc. (*I'd prefer limiting that to "some".)

No word what exactly Sony is up too, Nintendo is only going to hold out as long as the gimmick still draws people in.
