Nailed it.  Just dead on.  The Lost World book at least had some stuff that could have worked...but the execution.  3 is fucking terrible.  World.....I spent the whole movie rooting for the dinos to just kill everyone.  Im not as enamored with Chris Pine as everyone else.  People liked Andy on Parks and Rec, and Star…

I mean they also couldnt get decent insurance coverage for Harrison ford to go on location.

Another portion of the problem is pacing.  But that is a problem with doing sequels to movies from decades ago.  

because they had no idea what they were doing.  Sure Lucas made a lot of changes to the story in the OT on the fly, but one person did it.  In the sequels they had the budget to do anything they wanted...and just fucked it up.  Like literally you can find better versions of a sequel trilogy on most fan sites, and Im…

It is just awful.  It caps off the awful trilogy.  It moves too quickly.  They jump around far too much.  They have scenes for no reason.  The fake out of killing Chewbacca?  For what purpose?  Why have lando in it at all?  It served no purpose he did nothing to push the story forward.  The ex storm troopers...just…

Speed cameras are illegal in multiple states and municipalities, they have found to be grossly inaccurate. Additionally, there are far more traffic crimes than simply speeding. This is like having a discussion with someone who never bothered to learn about the constitution or how our government works, at all. I feel…

80k for that?  The bronco looks awful.  

Well, for one, crimes still need to be investigated. People can also roll their eyes, but traffic and highway safety typically fall on police. While we certainly need immigration reform, we do still need border patrol and ICE (or some form of it). While I am in favor of reform of our drug laws, until that time we…

This is like watching to half informed people make an argument.  Im heavily critical of police.  But if you think they serve no function.....I dont think there is a reasonable discussion to be had as you clearly dont understand even the base mechanics of the criminal justice system.

the defund the police movement, like a whole lot of progressive and far left moverments...just has awful messaging.  Its about police accountability, its about cutting funding to police in favor of shifting it to community policing initiatives (so its not really a funding cut its just changing allocations).  Its…

Bane isnt a hedge fund, they are a VC unit.

No plural, it was Bane Capital.  Romney’s old haunt.  I dont think Toys R Us would still be around if Bane had left, it just would have lasted longer.  The way they screwed the employees is what bothers me.

ToysRus was headed for the grave yard as is, Gamestop will be eventually too.  TRU didnt have the market clout that Target, Walmart, and Amazon had.  Toy sales have generally been on a fairly steady decline.  Traditionally, girls stop playing with toys before boys, and now boys move on to video games sooner than even…

i wouldnt be shocked if the movie rights thing didnt have something to do with it.  Makes it a bit easier to negotiate getting Spiderman in more marvel things.

I believe that Indy game was in dev before MS bought Bethesda.

Actually batman had quite a few by then.  Spiderman had some ok games in 2d, but spiderman, spiderman the movie, spiderman 2 had been great.  Batman had a lot of solid 2d games (NES Batman, Revenge of the Joker on Gen and NES, Batman and Robin on Gen and SNES..two similar but different games that were both great in…

didnt insomniac have another game that was published in the ps4 era...i think by gamestop for some reason.

God of War, Spiderman, and Red Dead 2 all came out in one year.  Pretty crazy.  

I dont know.  MS has dumped a lot into that division....its not whether it makes money, its the rate of ROI.  Its why a game being profitable isnt enough...if a company can get a better rate of return..thats what they do.  Its why Activision just abandoned anything that couldnt be franchised or sequilized for regular…

Also, this shopping around of spiderman had to be either pre launch of Xbox One or close to launch, considering that Spiderman showed up at E3 at least by 2016 in a form that would be recognizable to the end product.  So it had to be a year or two into dev at the time.  That wasnt a six month job on the screen at E3…
