It's smartly designed around the limitations of technology & it's not held back by bad acting or anything like that.

And yes, I think Tim Burton's film, despite its shortcomings, is a much more faithful adaptation of the book and therefore a little better.

There only one movie with that title

 Mon Jul 06 16:11:57 +0000 2015

I don't think the book was that dark. And I think the old adaptation is trying too hard to be dark.

I wish Dreamforge was still around

The Summoning. Yes, they were called Event Horizon, but then changed their name to Dreamforge

 Sat Jul 11 12:37:03 +0000 2015

They had a few interesting RPG & adventure projects

 Sat Jul 11 12:41:01 +0000 2015

But not being an RPG fan, I think Veil of Darkness is pretty much their best game.

 Sat Jul 11 12:41:56 +0000 2015

its popular to shit on Sanitarium nowadays, but I still think it's one of the best late 90s adventures.

 Sat Jul 11 12:42:35 +0000 2015

Yes, they did Anvil of Dawn and Ravenloft games. All forgotten, but still good games.

Yep

I can't be bothered to learn how to spell it. I can't believe they actually called it that.

I think it's fine to criticize things that deal with things you're passionate about, but at the same time one can't really do

 Sat Jul 11 14:06:47 +0000 2015

much about it. I, for example, think it's "funny" that they decided the fact that it was 3 white people & 1 black person as

 Sat Jul 11 14:07:44 +0000 2015

something that's essential to Ghostbusters. Of all things.

 Sat Jul 11 14:08:27 +0000 2015

So I had some time to think about Ash vs Evil Dead trailer & honestly my only major complaint is this:
It's Bruce Campbell, not Ash.

 Sun Jul 12 16:11:11 +0000 2015

Excuse me? GET OUT!

 Sun Jul 12 16:24:19 +0000 2015

Ted is a huge part of the Evil Dead, if you're hardcore into it. He's a major shemp in the first film, big part in the 2nd, and

 Sun Jul 12 16:25:46 +0000 2015

plays four characters in the 3rd? Oh, he's also the knight at the end of 2, next to Sam. How's that not a big part?

 Sun Jul 12 16:26:27 +0000 2015

To a legacy of the series, he's crucial. He's been present in all of them. One can argue that Scott Siegel & Ivan Raimi or

 Sun Jul 12 16:43:22 +0000 2015

Bill Pope or any of the actors who are only unique to one film aren't crucial, but Ted is very crucial.

@AveTory Thoughts on the new Evil Dead trailer?

 Mon Jul 13 12:29:49 +0000 2015

Yeah, there's enough business veterans involved in this for it to have a chance of actually being good, but I only have one

 Mon Jul 13 12:51:20 +0000 2015

major issue with it - is Bruce Campbell, not Ash. But I'll take a show built around Bruce Campbell any day.

 Mon Jul 13 12:52:10 +0000 2015

Yeah, I'll take it. It looks like they are banking on Bruce's comedy talent more than anything.

 Mon Jul 13 12:56:20 +0000 2015

And yes, the chainsaw docking gag is reused, but I still think it looks great :D

 Mon Jul 13 12:56:54 +0000 2015

It was also neat to see Bruce Campbell's name trend above Batman & Star Wars for two days! There are a lot of Evil Dead fans :)

It's not. At the 7 minute mark the films connect

Second film keeps the continuity of the first film. Cuts on Ash's face, his limp, holes in walls. It's all there.

 Mon Jul 13 14:02:08 +0000 2015

You only see the Necronomicon in the recap, because it burned at the end of the 1st film. Luckily, Annie brings the pages :)

Yes, but does it really matter in the end? :) you can glue the two movies together easily & they would work, as long as you

Just got a refund for Extreme Paintbrawl. Damn. I didn't want a refund! I wanted Veil of Darkness for $5!

Now I have two Extreme Painbrawls. That's two more than anyone should have.

 Wed Jul 15 19:01:28 +0000 2015

Anyone up for some Extreme Paintbrawl multiplayer?

I usually watch tv shows once they are over.

Don't like the buildings, don't like the fmv flights. And I just prefer to read things myself, rather than listen to voices.
