Re: Disney Animated, Ranked

I liked Black Cauldron well enough. It felt like it should have been a Don Bluth film, though. A real interesting aside for Disney. I wouldn't mind them taking more chances like that these days.

Re: Games Completed 2019

I just found that there a bunch of small things that, together, kept me from enjoying it. It's a very different take on tactics rpg than I'm used to, but I think if those annoyances were cleaned up, I'd have been in a better mood. Unfortunately, it looks like a lot of the things I didn't like stay ...

Re: Whatcha Been Playing?

After years of seeing it appear on lists of "The Best JRPG Games EVAAA" and seeing many people rave about it online, I finally decided to give Suikoden 2 a go. I'm about 25 hours in and I'm completely in love with it. I don't really want to give too much away (yeah I know it's like 20 yea...

Re: Whatcha Been Playing?

I've been playing Mad Max. I'm fully aware that it's not a game I should like, because, as I see it, it's Busy Work: The Game, but it's clicking with where my head is at right now, just needing something so undemanding and almost chore like, like vacuuming or bleaching the tub. Not fun, but mindless...

Disney Animated, Ranked

After listening to the Aladdin episode of C&R, and with that movie and the Lion King remake happening, I thought it might be a good time to share our favorite Disney Animated films. Go top 5 or 10 or however you like. Mine is as follows 1. Aladdin 2. Tarzan 3. Pinocchio 4. Alice in Wonderland 5....

Re: Spielberg Movies, ranked

Realised I've seen less Spielberg movies than I'd like. 1. Jurassic Park 2. Schindler's List 3. Close Encounters of the Third Kind 4. Jaws (I am famously terrified of Sharks, but as long as it is just Robot one, I'm fine) 5. E.T. 6. Saving Private Ryan 7. Raiders of the Lost Ark This is point where...

Re: E3 2019 - Conference times and general chat

I wouldn't say I'm excited, I kind of forget it was coming, to be honest. I'm hoping there are surprises to make me feel foolish but, as this moment, not sure what they'd have to show for me to start counting my pennies. Has Capcom been teasing anything? I remember they were mentioning bringing an o...

Re: Spielberg Movies, ranked

Looking over his Wiki page, he's actually directed fewer films that I'd imagined. So, I've not seen a lot of them, so ranking the twelve I've actually seen: 1. Indy & The Last Crusade 2. Indy & The Temple Of Doom 3. Indy & The Raiders Of The Lost Ark 4. Catch Me If You Can (and the book...

Re: Spielberg Movies, ranked

I’d find it hard to pick a favourite, but both Jaws and Duel would be right up there. I’m afraid to say The Lost World would be nearer the 1941 end of things for me though. Now will anyone put Always in there..? Or even Hook, which he hates himself! Duel and Jaws have very similar vibes, so I get t...

Well, I've still not seen Sugarland or Empire of the Sun, so I'm not doing great at my due diligence, either.

Spielberg Movies, ranked

We did this with Tarantino awhile ago, but since Spielberg has more movies, let's just keep it Top 10, unless you really feel the fire. Also, if you can't do ten, don't sweat it. We don't have enough Top 4 lists online! 1. Jurassic Park 2. The Lost World: Jurassic Park 3. Indiana Jones and the Last ...

Re: All Things Jurassic Park

Someone in the aging 360/PS3 thread mentioned they found the dinosaur effects to be losing their appeal and I think they're right and wrong. As the movie gets better and better resolutions, certain shots stand out and feel like they don't blend into the film as well anymore, such as the first Brachi...
