Still haven't caught up to season 2 of the Knick but it's really disappointing to hear it's over D:

Between this, John Wick 2 and (hopefully) Atomic Blonde, it's been a great year for action movies. And that's not even including all the other, less purely action based but still incredibly well done films like Logan and Wonder Woman.
If only she could release another album :(
I found that the game does explain all that though. You unlock the tutorial mission for ninjutsu skills right after the first level, and the tutorial explains how to unlock, equip and use them. It's a really generous game when it comes to respeccing too. I guess it depends on the player. I just find that if you're…
Same here. There are Dark Souls bosses I've never even beaten (Manus can go fuck himself) and a lot of the really noteworthy and challenging ones I've only ever beaten in co-op. I'm a solid player but I'm really not that great at PVE (except for Bloodborne, but that's more so me knowing how to min-max really well at…
I was pretty huge into them as a kid but now I don't think they mean that much to me. I got into them around the perfect time in that I started reading them when I was 9, right before the fourth book came out, and the last one came out when I was 16 or 17, so once again, also a perfect age to finish them at, but the…
You don't have to grind at all in Persona 5. I never did once.
Ehhh, there are some annoying bosses in Nioh because they all have one or two moves that can instantly kill you if you're not careful, but once you figure out how to avoid it they become fairly simple.
I wish we could get more satisfying adventure films like that. Jack Sparrow's little arc is so great. The way it all it comes back around in the end. The bullet he saved. The reveal of the coin. It's so good.
I want him to make another movie based around vehicle stunts and chases soooo fucking bad.
I was like 13 when Kill Bill came out and I had never seen a Quentin Tarantino movie or anything like it before and the trailers for KB and then the movie itself were really influential for me. The style just blew me away. I begged my dad to take me to the theatre because commercials for it aired on TV so often, and…
Ong Bak 2 is awesome. And the final battle is incredible. He literally fights like, 50 ninjas. It's fucking insane.
A series would probably have reduced the animation quality. In a way it's probably better we just got the movie. It may not have been as influential otherwise.
Totally agreed. It came from a time when most people still put a bit more car into the action scenes, so by default the action is better than most of what we get today.
I know it's kind of blasphemous to say but my ONLY problem with Fury Road is that the action felt a little too glossy and weightless. The action was incredible but at the same time there was this grittiness missing from it. It never got as intense as the final chase in Road Warrior because it didn't feel as raw.
T3 also has the scene where the female terminator is in the back seat of a cop car, punches her arm through the chest of the driver, grabs the steering wheel with her bloody hand and then keeps driving while the other cop looks on in horror. 10/10 scene.
People hate on Greengrass and it's totally unfair. Like the first assassin fight in Supremacy, there are numerous wider angles that hold for a long enough period of time for you to see everything. The geography of his action scenes are well established even with the shaky cam. Or the Desh fight in Ultimatum. The…
> These two movies have given me new hope that superhero movies can be about more than just 'splosions and CGI.
I would have structured the whole ending a bit differently. Find a way to keep the emotional resolution but reduce the CGI theatrics, have a more physical, hand to hand fight. Maybe they could have cast a younger dude as the villain? And I would have given her crew a bit more to do during it in that case.
This was always one of my favourite parts of the book and I got excited the moment the episode started and you could see where it was going. I've been enjoying the misadventures of Sweeney and Laura, so reusing the same actors really lent what was already one of the more emotional parts of the book even more impact.
