  1. Not much of a gamer anymore, but when I do play from time to time when chilling with friends. Right now it's just DBZ Fighter and Madden
  2. 8.5/10. Robert Pattinson kills it in this. I'm amazed, yet disgusted at his character and the actions he takes. He's pretty much a despicable piece of garbage that gets caught up in his own desperate schemes. Even though it's hard to sympathize with him, you can't help but be interested in following the characters and the environments he goes in.
  3. ehh I'm ok with it. It would probably get annoying though if the mc in the course of like 20 episodes still hasn't learned anything useful or developed properly
  4. Dragon Ball Super. Can't wait til the finale
  5. Hugely addicted to television rn. There's a lot of shows I enjoy so I don't have a personal favorite genre. All time favorite goes to The Wire, which I explain in this thread Other favorites I have include Fargo, Daredevil, Legion, Breaking Bad, Sherlock, and The Boondocks. Currently I'm watching Riverdale, Twin Peaks: The Return, Agents of Shield, Legends of Tomorrow, and very soon, The Punisher. I do feel inspired by what a series presents at times. For a show like The Boondocks, I love the social commentary that was especially prevalent in season 1. Very entertaining yet you take something away from it that makes you want to learn about and better your community.
  6. It's pretty safe for a timeskip going into season 3 since the child actors are actually teens rn, so the high school scenario is very likely. I doubt the child actors would be replaced because they're all pretty much the heart of what makes the series special. The familiarity fans have with them has been set since season 1 and I doubt the creators would change that.
  7. Enjoyed the second season a lot. It took pretty much everything great about season 1 and built on them even further. You could tell from the posters and trailers that it was going to be more movie-like, which looked amazing. While the plot started off a little slow, it majorly improved going forward. The stakes were bigger and the danger felt more threatening this time around. These child actors are also some of the best I've seen in television, especially Noah Snchapp's performance as Will. Probably the only gripes I had is how it's still setting up some things to come. The 008 storyline ruined the flow of the show after the previous episode and the main villain of the season didn't turn out to be much of a threat in the end. These could've been better presented, but it's not much to detract how great the season was.
  8. Trailer out http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PU02NWfHT2g
  9. This crap always comes out and will hopefully always be shut down. Seems counter-productive anyway since it could interfere with government surveillance on the internet, unless there's a way around that...
  10. Graduated with my BA in criminal justice. Not sure what profession I want to go into tho...
  11. This Is Us is back! Time to get the tissues

  12. For a while my routine has been pretty redundant: wake up, work, complete online school work, sleep- rinse and repeat. Just no time or motivation for a social life. Then some friends suggested going to the gym with them and I took them on their offer. Thought it would be a chore at first but it's something I was actually glad to add to my daily routine. It felt good to socialize more after so long, and I think it's something that's needed to fill that void within.
  13. I'm gonna cheat a little with this because the songs I'm applying to certain characters in shows I've watched are actually used in the show to describe the characters themselves. The Leftovers- "Homeward Bound" for Kevin Garvey (some spoilers) Fargo- "It's Hard To Be Humble" for Emmit Stussy Song was used in an opening episode of season 3. The lyrics "Oh lord, it's hard to be humble/When you're perfect in every way" kinda sums up Emmit pretty well. He's rich, handsome (sans Ewan McGregor's wig), runs his own successful company, has a nice family, lives in a nice mansion- his life seems pretty perfect.
  14. Welp, let's just say CS didn't like the live-action version, although I thought the sin count would be a little higher
  15. So Cinemasins recently sinned the live-action version of Ghost in the Shell. Thought I'd share it, as well as the one for the anime movie they did a while ago. Live-action Anime movie Honest Trailer also covered the live-action version

    The Wire It's a crime-drama mainly about the drug war in Baltimore and how it impacts the people and each institution of the city (law enforcement, politics, street life, the seaport system, the education system, and the media.) The gritty realism presented in the show is unlike anything I’ve ever seen on television. Every issue plaguing urban life is tackled with such brutal honesty and vivid detail that it's like you're witnessing real life unfold before your very eyes. The storylines are all given proper attention to highlight what the problems are and the actions being taken to resolve them. It makes it a fascinating watch exploring each section of the city and its relationship to crime and poverty. Even though there are clear “good guys” and “bad guys,” most have shades of gray which make their decisions and motivations understandable. The way everyone interacts with one another and their environment even shows a lot of similarities between them and the different world’s they’re a part of. It’s something you’ll rarely or not even see in standard police procedurals, because it’s so much more than that. The way the story portrays and connects everything together make it a truly profound experience. Baltimore itself is pretty much the main character of the series, and the inhabitants are its humanity. And man oh man… there are tons of memorable characters all of whom are incredibly well-written and acted to pure perfection, especially Michael K. William’s portrayal of Omar- the greatest tv character ever imo. They feel like people you know or have seen in real life (and a lot of them are based on real people.) Whether it’s the cops, drug dealers, or even the politicians, the characters have depth and are given proper development. They are all relatable on some level and the situations they are thrusted into make it easy to cheer for them to crawl their way out. Even though we care for them, it makes it all the harder when you see a lot of them fall through the cracks. Sadly, it’s all in the game. I have the likes of Breaking Bad, Fargo, and Sherlock in my top 10, but none have managed to achieve what The Wire has done. It may not be an easy watch unless you approach it with a mature mindset willing to learn, but I highly recommend it.
  18. A little on the fence about it. I can see it having decent potential, maybe even as a movie. We'll see
