Finally, we get a movie that isn't obsessed with war stories, secret police drama, or those gritty, bearded insurgent tropes and their anthems.

Haven't we already seen this one... ahem... Repo! The Genetic Opera (2008)

I actually really liked it. It was refreshing—kind of unconventional, which is a nice change of pace, I guess. And then I woke up 😁

Director: Ridley Scott

So, Ridley Scott and Russell Crowe are teaming up once again—this time, they’re bringing the world's most famous outlaw to the big screen. I guess you could say some people are already calling it Gladiator 2, while others might label it more as Gladiator in tights—though, honestly, some fans have probably been itching for a decent adaptation since Costner's Prince of Thieves back in 1991.

What’s your take? Does the world really need another gritty, intense version of Robin Hood? (check out the trailer) 😁

If anyone else has sat through this, let me know what you thought. 😬

Honestly, you could probably skip it and not miss much at all. It starts off with some decent momentum, I guess, but once they reveal what the cure for vampirism actually is... well, I just couldn't take it seriously anymore. It isn't exactly gripping—by the end, I found myself staring out the window more than watching the screen.

Haha, I just caught the title of the Gaybreakers thread 😁 I clearly need to step away from the computer for a bit 😁

Paul Lopez49 said:Been waiting for this one—about to download it now so I can check it out. 👍

I couldn't find a decent version myself; people are saying it’s a 5/10 at best—pretty grainy video and the audio is kind of a mess. I guess I'll just wait for a better release to pop up.

I’ve been playing everything on my keyboard lately—it gets a bit old, I guess—and I was wondering about something. If I pick up one of those USB gamepads to plug into my laptop, will I actually be able to play these games with the controller, or am I still going to be stuck tapping away at the keyboard?

Maybe—and I'm just speculating here—if you're dealing with an emulator where you can actually remap the keys, there might be a way to make it work. But if it's one of those old Flash games? Probably not. Those things are usually pretty locked down.

Paul Robinson6 said:So, I’ve been thinking about this—I have this DVD player that apparently supports USB drives, and I’m wondering if there's any actual logic to how I can use it for gaming. Specifically, I was curious if the games I download could be burned onto a CD, and then if I could actually run them off the DVD player itself? Also, would it even be possible to plug a joystick into the unit... and if so, would the whole setup even work? I guess I'm just trying to figure out if this is a viable way to play or if I'm just chasing a pipe dream here.

No, no, and definitely no.

Ghost Rider is definitely one of those superhero flicks where you spend half the runtime wondering what on earth happened to his hair—seriously, it’s just so incredibly blunt 😁

It’s basically the exact same situation with Daredevil 😁

Haha, man

Just off the top of my head—I feel like we're still missing a few titles, maybe things like Swamp Thing, the Evil Dead series, and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Perhaps Barb Wire, the 1990 version of The Flash, or even Flash Gordon could fit in there too...
