Really? I watched both versions of BvS and they weren't that different. Sure, they added a couple of scenes here and there and it made more sense but the story was the same. If this "Snyder's cut" is only adding a couple of scenes then I don't see the point. He's trying to release a completely different movie as a whole. I think Joss took over filming while they were shooting the third act, so it'll be different I think but I could be wrong. Either way, it'll suck because they've all sucked. lol

Sometimes a directors cut just adds a few new scenes and sometimes they restructure entire acts drastically changing the movie. I've seen both ways more times than I can count.

Didn't know that. What movies were completely restructured?

A few that come to mind; Waterworld, Apocalypse Now, Almost Famous and we can't forget that Blade Runner has like ten different versions.

The list goes on and on.

Between Hulu and Disney + I could technically now watch Doug in its entirety after all these years but I'm not sure if that'd be a good idea or not. I have fond memories of it but would they get smashed if I attempted to watch it today? I probably saw all of Nickelodeon's Doug in the early 90s but when it was off the air for a few years, I think I'd outgrown Doug before it made its way to Disney for the continuation.

I just watched one episode and decided I should just stop there. I think I might try Gargoyles next.

Why do you guys do this? Most things won't hold up. Leave your childhood memories as they are, don't disappoint yourselves. lol

I would if they'd stop showing up on streaming!!! I can't help myself, I can't have unanswered questions, I must know!!!!

Unfortunately, the answers rarely make me happy.

November has dropped three box office bombs and I can't help but notice that they are all sequels or reboots; Dark Fate, Charlie's Angels and Doctor Sleep.

I like how Elizabeth Banks is trying to play the sexism card.

The movie just plain sucked. Even girls don't want to see that shit.

Charlie's Angels is a played out 40 year old property that has lasted much longer than it should have. In this century we've already had a movie franchise and a failed tv reboot, this wasn't latest necessary or wanted.

Charlie's Angels bombed big time. I warned Elizabeth not to do this movie but she didn't listen.

Broads never listen, they think it means they aren't strong independent women if they listen to anything a man has to say. They must be defiant of men at all times, if you doubt this see any single female lead tv character of the last ten years.

LOL Gotta love Nic's freakouts. I don't think any actor can close to his madness, it's a talent.

It's a severe mental illness on full display being played out for our amusement.

Well Disney Plus is finally tracking progress on its tv shows. They still don't have any kind of progress bar across the episodes you've already watched to indicate them as watched but at least they're starting to add the bare necessities.

As I was scrolling through the Disney catalog I was reminded of their many shows I hadn't seen in 25 years but all the ones I could think of weren't available on Disney Plus. Flash Forward introduced me to both Ben Foster and Jewel Staite and I'd be curious how it plays after two decades but it's one of the many shows of my youth that they opted not to include and I'm positive it doesn't have anything to do with other streaming deals. They were just not included...

Joey, I know how much you enjoy the escapades of Allison Mack and it turns out her former actress wife Nikki Cline changed her name and became a manager at a New York bar called the Izzy Rose in which she has continued to hold meetings with beautiful women for hours at a time. Cline moved to NY to be closer to Keith while he's in a prison and she's kept up the recruiting for the movement. It's good to know that even with all the details of NXIVM readily available to anybody, there are enough beautiful and rich damaged women still willing to subject themselves to blackmail and servitude.

That shit is still going? LOL People are crazy!

Also, Allison has a wife?

UltimateMarvel wrote:That shit is still going? LOL People are crazy!

Yeah Allison married a Canadian actress so she could legally recruit while living in the United States.

Also, I mentioned watching Camp Nowhere the other day for the first time in a decade and was kind of surprised to see an 11 year old Allison Mack right next to a 12 year old Jessica Alba in that movie. I had absolutely no memory of either girl in Camp Nowhere though they didn't even have speaking roles so maybe that's why. Still kind of crazy to see wide eyed lunacy lurking behind the eyes of that little camper.

Izzy Rose is in Brooklyn and google says it's a hipster vegetarian spot. I'm surprised people are still being recruited. Raniere is going away til he dies. Who are they being recruited for? Just shows how fucked up some people are.

I've also been keeping up with Lori Loughlin's legal woes. It's not looking good for her either.

A Hipster vegan bar for women who enjoy starving themselves and sexual slavery! The women are probably running the show now or some more powerful men behind the scenes that Raniere put in charge in case he was ever caught.

What's up with Loughlin now?

Loughlin is "facing up to 50 years" for a bunch of charges like racketeering, money laundry, bribery of officials receiving government funds, and other shit the federal government has come up with.

Realistically, she will do maybe six months to a year. That doesn't seem like a long time but being a huge socialite, being locked up in a prison for any amount of time is torture for people like her.

Her and her husband's defense is that they didn't realize the money they gave to the ringleader was a bribe. They are arguing ignorance and say they thought what they were doing is legit. LOL yea if you want to donate to a school to get your kids in, you donate straight to the school. Donate a library or something like smart rich people do to get their kids wherever they want to go. You don't donate to a third-party not-for-profit charity organization owned by the guy who says he can get your kids into the school.

Also, there are email exchanges between her husband and their accountant saying something like the good news is she is going to USC. The bad news is I had to work the system.

This is all good stuff. Everything I wrote up there is a very brief Cliff's Notes. You can definitely get a whole lot more detail on the world wide web.

Bottom line: Her career is likely over and that makes me happy.

Facing 50 years but might get six months??? Ah, to be rich and privileged. I'm rather surprised they didn't just whore their daughters out the coach to save on some cash. Though, we don't know for sure that they didn't.

They were ignorant and didn't understand? Aunt Becky was literally in an episode of Full House about the exact same storyline two decades earlier.

She's going to get a book deal and a couple of lifetime movies out of the deal.

HBO's Watchmen is one of the weirdest shows I have ever seen......

Welcome to the Watchmen craziness. I don't know about you, but I'm kinda confused as to what's happening. Episode 4 is the best one yet though.

I can follow it for the most part but it's a whole lot of just bat shit craziness that means nothing in the overall over than that Adrian Viedt is using the chaos to control everything behind the scenes just like he did in the movie. Veidt's gas lighting the world through a mix of brilliantly engineered chaos that ultimately lead to whatever his evil master plan is this time around.

I haven't seen Jason Segel since HIMYM ended about 5 years back but he's got a new anthology series on AMC that he created and stars in.

Is that Andre? Ahem, excuse me. I meant Andre 3000.

"May I have a half caf, decaf, mint mocha latte, foam on the bottom, served in a flower vase and if you all got some green food coloring back there, throw it in."

-What's up, man? What's up, Andre.

Andre who?

-I ain't gonna say it, mang.

It's not two thousand nine hundred ninety-nine. It's not three thousand and one.

-Andre 3000.....

Yup, that's him.

Amarzon’s sales suck so far. I want a new 27” monitor.

I also plan on buying DVD Uncle Buck ans The Great Outdoors double feature ($4) and Airplane and Airplane 2 blu-ray double feature ($7.50). There is a four movie collection of war movies for four bucks I plan on buying, too. Love all that.

Now drop the price on my Yamaha RX-V385 to $219 amd my monitor to $140 and ill be buying both! Also maybe a Fire HD 10 so I can watch my Amarzon Prime, Netflix, and Hulu shit in bread.

I was a big John Candy fan as a kid and I watched Buck and Outdoors all the time.

I haven't looked into any sales yet.

Oooh blu-ray.com, you sneaky fucks. They set the thumbnails of movies to automatically open the Amarzon store page with their referral link. LOL I don't think so!

Delete all Amarzon cookies.

They started doing that shit years ago back before I got banned the first time. I think calling them on it was one of the very first things I did that upset the natural order and led to the lifetime ban.

They are dumb as hell. All you need is a new IP and new email address. They ban IP's which is the dumbest thing you can do. Anyone with half a brain can change or mask their IP address.

What pissed me off is even when I set the site to open the blu-ray.com review page, they changed it for the sale to now automatically open a new tab with the Amarzon page while the background page I initially clicked goes to the blu-ray.com review page.

That's some sneaky shit. Homey don't play dat!!

I never felt the urge to return to that forum so I never needed a workaround, I just started my own forum and here we are all these years later, five members strong.

Homey don't play dat because he got a code but Blu-ray.com don't.

Yo, fantastic news. I finally finished season one of Prison Break. I watched the last four episodes in an hour and a half. Skipped a lot of it but missed none. I am done with it. Will not be watching season two. I’ll read the wiki though to see how it goes.

Now I can move on to other shows. Finally. What a focking grind that was. Truly a miserable experience.


On a positive note, I have purchased the DVD dJohn Candy double feature with Airplane double feature blu-ray.

Total cost: $12.37

Now I need a receiver for my living room (two-channel) and a new monitor or two. I want a triple monitor setup for my computer.

Congrats and it only took like six months! I can't believe how hard you worked to persevere through but in the end, you did it! #ForTheStruggle

I haven't seen any Candy movies in a long time but they're also not really on streaming yet. Some great options in the vaults that I hope will be coming soon.

6 months to watch the first season of PB? And that's the best season too. LOL

This broad's already at it again..........

Elizabeth Banks to Direct and Star in ‘Invisible Woman’ for Universal

Disney Plus has finally added a "Continue Watching" bar on the main screen like you'd find on Netflix. It's about time. However, much like Netflix if you start and then stop watching something it is still in the Continue Watching section but unlike Netflix there is no option to remove items from your viewed history yet which then keeps the bar bloated with things you're not currently watching. Now the wait begins for that feature to be added.

And if it's not, nobody will see it anyways and Banks can just say we're all sexist again.

UltimateMarvel wrote:lol Cut them some slack. Any issues with videos playing?

I cut no slack to Disney in this pimp game.

No issues during playback unless you want to fast forward or rewind then you get "Malformed Data" errors.

If season one of Prison Break is considered the best season then there is no freaking way I’m watching season two.

I am considering starting The Mangdalorian. Is it good? Should I wait to binge it all at once?
