#262 Re: Dust N' Bones & Cyborg Slunks » Slash, Zakk, Gus G, Ozzy Paranoid » 720 weeks ago
I know Zakk and Slash USED to be tight, but I can't help but notice they've kinda kept their distance since Zakk jammed with Guns.
I watched that Paranoid video, and the whole time I'm thinking "Wtf, Slash... Get over there and stand with Gus and Zakk, dude..." Nope.
Maybe I'm crazy...

Change NOTHING.
I came here from CD.com 6 years ago (!!!) And I'm never fucking leaving.
I love this board as is for the same reasons today as I did then.

Sure, shit's been getting squirrely lately, but this too, shall pass.
In the half decade plus that I've been a member of this place, I've joined no less than 5 other forums with a variety of main topics... MetallicaBB, the down board, Celticsblog, etc.. and while there are a bunch of great posts on those boards, they can't hold my attention unless something big is happening with the main subject. I'll lurk for a day or two, maybe post a couple sentences, and I forget about the place for a year.
Everyone so far has it nailed with EVO... I came here for Guns, and I stay for the community... I at least scan the latest thread updates here every other day at a minimum. I could go a month without even glancing at the GNR section.
The intelligence of our community here in unmatched. Sure, motherfuckers (including myself) have been getting a little testy about Uncle Axl lately, but it sure as fuck ain't the first time, and it won't be the last.
Another anomaly around here, is that GNR isn't even the favorite band of the most prolific posters...
I know if I wanna talk about any band I like, there are my BOYS at EVO (Axlin, BLSPride, Neemo) that'll be just as knowledgeable and excited to talk about the shit as me...
We all know who to go to....
Soundgarden... Lofton
U2... Bono
Elvis.. Russ
VH... MeWise
All of the off topic threads are engaging and current, no matter what is going on...
I was recently asked by a very good friend of mine to join HIS guns board, and... Well... I did.
The problem was/is, since then... I haven't been there once.
Yeah... Don't change a fucking THING, bro...

Other than that, the dude has did literally nothing in his involvement as GNR's guitarist to warrant the extreme hatred he constantly receives.
Dude... I don't hate DJ.
He's just too fucking easy to pick on.

Yup I agree. it's cool that Izzy pops up here but I don't respect his decisoion to just skip the RRHOF for no apparent reason other than he's too cool.
And yeah the cynic could say once again Axl has told us and everyone to move on yet here he is yet again performing with an original member and it's the most exciting thing in ages.
Like I said it's cool Izzy showed up here but come the fuk on. If they can dick around with and dangle the past in front of everyone so often what was so damn hard about reunitiung for the HOF? Axl vs Slash boo fucking hoo. All idiots.
Izzy sounds aweosme on 14 years. Axl... meh like someone else said it's that mickey mouseish voice going on.
This.
When I heard about Izzy being there, I had that fraction of a millisecond of excitement...
Then I caught myself...
Fuck them both.
Fuck Axl for pulling his "quit living in the past" horseshit, because we wanted the fucking prick to get onstage with AFD-era band members for a song or two in Cleveland.. thennnn.... bringing Izzy onstage with him mere weeks later to play, like... a fucking half dozen songs.
Fuck Izzy for not going to Ohio for 20 minutes, to appease a large percentage of the people that made him a very rich man.. Yet hop on a plane to London to play songs he wrote 20 years ago with, essentially, a bunch of strangers, and...
Wait for it....
Pose for photos with DJ Ashba...

When you get it right, the people will come.
(See Iron Man, The Avengers, TDK, Superman 1 and 2)
Superman is harder to "get right"...
Had Superman Returns gotten the whole thing "right", as Nolan did with almost every aspect of Batman in Begins, then perfected in TDK... We wouldn't be talking about another reboot...
Brandon Routh was definitely channeling Chris Reeve as Kent... but had no presence as The World's Greatest Superhero...
The premise was decent, but lacked action..
It was boring.
Kal-El is strangely less endearing. Sure, he's the quintessential super hero... But when you strip away the All American Bullshit, he's an almost invincible alien....
A reboot has to involve an origin story... and by the time you sort all of that out... What do you do? The casting has to be perfect... And Reeve was the gold standard. The performance has to be a revelation to make people forget him (After Ledger, Nicholson looks like a joke... Heresy 10 years ago ..)
Attacking his story is a major pain in the ass...
The Smallville Theory is, IMO, the only way to do it proper...That's always been the biggest issue. I've always wanted a good origin story. The best part of Superman I is the opening with Jor-El. I wanted to see so much more of it.
The best part of the Donner cut of Superman II (my personal favorite), was the Christ-like morality stuff between Superman and his father.
THAT has ALWAYS needed to to be expanded upon, and then you end up in Smallville. Don't even bother with Metropolis until that story is told. The first film of the origin story should end with Clark's first day at the Daily Planet, and having a "save the world" moment as a closer.
Just go into the project knowing it'll be a trilogy to begin with... Not the "welll... we will see how the first one does, then decide where to go" bullshit...
Bingo.
The only way to do it is from a different angle...
Have you seen what they're doing with the Spidey reboot?
Interesting and tasty

Superman needs to be good or it's dead in my opinion. No way they can reboot it again. TThe last oen sucked and if this one sucks they'd have to wait 10-15 years at least. What they should've done is have Smallville end on a better note. More cliffhangerish. Then use Tom Welling as Superman in a movie reboot. Why this never happend makes no sense to me. Why they ever cast the last guy as Superman makes even less sense. They had a built in new generation of Superman fans with the 8 or however many year run Smallville had. Would've seemed like a natural progression to me.
This.
It's insanely retarded that they never even considered it.
#269 Re: The Sunset Strip » The BATMAN Thread » 720 weeks ago
On a gaming standpoint, you probably should've played Asylum first. You get used to the controls easier, and City is a bit more advance, but still the same overall deal, but just a tad harder just to show "improvement".
The reason I say that is there's alot more rhythm with hitting the Rappel movements, and getting a rhythm down to the dives in flight in order to fly around Arkham City. Arkham City is also a HUGE map compared to Asylum. It takes longer to get around, especially if you're walking and not gliding.
There's also several story references in City to events in Asylum.
I'd definitely give Asylum a spin, play it through, then give City a second look. Might look alot better after getting used to Asylum.
I beat City... Loved it. But, now I'm afraid to play Asylum, cuz I feel like it would be a step backwards... Thoughts?
