Let Your Geek Flag Fly!

I need to go through the thread listings more often. I didn't know there was a second geek thread going about. I've been to E3 twice, Gen Con Once, and I really ought to go to more cons, but I rarely have the time/money. Oh yeah, and I tend to wear mostly game/anime t-shirts

Hey there Paldor, glad to have you visit the thread. The more the merrier...

If you're in Virginia, hat's not too far away to make Dragon-Con some time. You should go. It's pretty sweet!
 
Nightwatch & Daywatch are a complete mind-fuck! Really, really insane...

However, I baulked at the idea of changing Wanted so much from the source material. The point is that Wesley is the son of The Killer - the greatest killer of Super-Heroes in the world...and where were they? Where was the re-writing of world history because the Super-Villans formed an army to kill all the Heroes, then changed the fabric of reality itself? And Wesley is a deeply unlikeable character - and, as a villan, that's the point. The story is the path of the villan rather than the path of the hero.

Man, what a missed opportunity!

However, that's not to say that it might not be an enjoyable movie if you watch it without that knowledge...I just can't.

So, Kick Ass...will Hit Girl be 10 years old I wonder??? Will she be carving people up with her swords and her foul mouth??? I doubt it...I'll shut my trap now...


Wow, I didn't even know THAT backstory... I kew it was based, but didn't know he original material. I thought it did a good job on its own, but after I see your post, I'm glad I didn't know before. I would have ben disappointed, too!
 
Well, I put up the new pic thread and there's a movie quote in it, you'll have to figure out what movie it's from. Shouldn't be too hard for all the geeks, lol.

Seriously, if you can pick up Mark Millar's graphic novel it is great - hence my great disappointment.

And there's nothing called the Loom of Fate in the comic either - despite what people might believe! :)

Oh well...roll on Punisher: War Journal.
 
hmmm a geek thread?


well im a huge call of duty 4 and transformer nerd if that counts haha
 
Woohoo! for 'The Dark Knight'! :cool::cool::cool::cool::cool::cool::cool:

How were the 'Watchmen' clips?


Morning Darkknight!

The Watchmen clip that I saw was pretty cool. A pretty fast moving montage that made it difficult to see what's going on, but showed all of the Watchmen. All in all, makes it another MUST SEE!!!

*bowing* always glad to expose people to new things.
 
Morning my geek brothers and sisters!

im so glad to see i wasnt the only one who watched the Scream awards last night.

the watchmen clip was awesome. Orga is right in that it did move fast. however, what you caught glimpses of were almost like looking at the comic's panels come to life. was a fantastic few minutes.

the only part of the show i wasnt too thrilled about was that they let kevin smith on stage. how does he keep getting work?!?!?!

as for gaming...i play all 3 consoles. though at the moment ive been very busy kicking orc/goblin ass in WAR lol

I'm kind of perplexed as to how Kevin Smith keeps working as well. Although I don't think he can screw up Seth Rogen's career. It looks like he might have gone more the whole apatow route with the new movie, so hopefully it won't suck!

I'm planning on going to the midnight showing, I'm so damn excited.

ive never been a kevin smith fan. the first clerks was amusing. other than that i find his movies to be boring and unfunny. i think he is severly over rated.
