Guess It's Morbing Time
General | Posted 3 years agoOkay so I have now seen Morbius and... I was disappointed cause I was expecting a car wreck of a movie and honestly it wasn't that bad. It isn't the next Citizen Kane or even Orson Welles' Findus Frozen Peas Advert but it held my attention for the most part and it was majority of the moviemaking elements were just okay.
With the obvious issues I have of "Building A Spider-man Universe without using Spider-man", the lack of Morbing Time and how clunky the work in Vulture, it could have been WAY worse. We've seen how hamfisted and clunky Sony's world building and sequel baiting can be so honestly I was happy to have them mostly containing the story to the story they were telling was actually good!
Jared Leto was serviceable in the role, not a knock out but he wasn't distracting in the role which is often the issue I have with his projects. All the "Oh look at how weird I am", "Watch as I do this for the sake of doing it" or "You wanna hear how I got in to this character?", it's a distraction. There was none of that actually final project and he did a role where he let the character come out on screen rather than it being Jarod Leto Playing A Character on screen.
The rest of the cast was serviceable as well, again nothing that blows me away but none were a chore to sit through. Matt Smith has a lot of fun in his role even if the character wasn't anything special or particularly well through out.
There were plot holes and things that could have been easily fixed with one more rewrite or shot differently (Maybe explain why two kids from Greece have a American Accent and a British accent respectively/Do more to establish the mercenaries as bad people before Michael attacked them/Did we really just leave that little girl in a coma forever?) but we have seen much worse in comic book movies and given them a pass.
The effects and music were ... just there... Again, nothing really to write home about for either good or bad.
Not a movie I would rush to see again but not something worthy of the scorn it has received. A 5 out of 10 middle of the road movie.

ANTICIPATED MOVIES OF 2022
General | Posted 3 years agoBetter late than ever ^^ Wrote this at the beginning of the year but never thought to post it here XDScream - It's Scream 5. Please call it Scream 5. Calling it just Scream is stupid. It doesn't make it stand out as the definitive Scream for a new generation. All it does is much up my DVD/BluRay shelf. But I am looking forward to it when I get around to watching it with Katney as we've enjoyed every Scream as a couple so far and Scream 4 was a good return to form for the series. Yes, a bit of trepidation since it's Scream without Wes Craven but still, I can but hope ^^
Death on the Nile - Armand Hammer controversy aside, Murder on the Orient Express was a great time which balanced a really large cast well and that's no mean feat. That gives me hope that this cast will give us a show that will surprise even those of us who have seen other version of this story already been played out. And while no Sir David Suchet means it isn't MY Hercule Poirot, Branagh did the character justice before so I see no reason he won't do it again here ^^
Marry Me - Maybe not MOST anticipated but introduces more varity to my movie viewing expierence. Probably one to watch with Katney as well since she knows the source material... Still I am going to support it because I like the thought of it kicking off more unique webcomic movies X3
The Batman - While I am not a fan of the "DCEU" movies and I was hoping for a Batman film that give us more of the fantastical than the "gritty real world" we seem to have gotten stuck in, it's still a Batman movie. And lets face facts, so rare to have a story that focuses on the detective part of Batman which is a defining part of who he is. But I ain't updating my Riddler cosplay for it ^_~
Turning Red - It's Pixar. Nuff said XD
Operation Fortune: Ruse de Guerre - A Spy Comedy directed by Guy Ritchie with Jason Statham and a pretty stacked cast. Should have some great dialog, some pretty hard hitting action and stylisty shot. Ritchie is a director who is good even on an off day so should be a fun time. Trailer is fun too X3
The Lost City - On the edge of my radar is a jungle romping advanture by the Nee Brothers who I am only just finding out about... Why am I only finding about the NEE Brothers now?! X3 Trailer looked like some silly fun and has Daniel Radcliffe as a villain it seems and I want more of that! XD
Everything Everywhere All at Once - The power of an eye catching poster at work here... I went from knowing nothing about this movie to making sure I have a day one ticket in just over three minutes. A stunning concept, a really interesting trailer and who doesn't love Michelle Yeoh?! GOOGLY EYES FOR THE WIN!
Morbius - Some trepidation here since I am still on the fence with how Sony have been making their Spider-man live-action movies. Venom and Venom:LTBC weren't how I saw the characters in my mind and subtracting Spider-man from their stories are a hard sell for me but with Michael Keaton attached, I know I have to see at the cinema if the cinemas are open XD
Sonic the Hedgehog 2 - The first Sonic movie, I was scared going in. How could a video game movie of a franchise I grew up obcessed with ever measure up considering the state of video game movies in general? It managed it! How?! I do not know but it did and now I trust them with the sequel. THEY EVEN MADE THE MADE FOR THE MOVIE HUMAN CHARACTERS CHARACTERS I WANT TO SEE MORE OF!
The Bad Guys - I called dibs on this one the second I saw the teaser image X3 It was like a race only I was running to call this as one of my movies for Movie Dates with Katney XD When making this list, it was originally a "Most Anticipated Movies" list and this was one of the few non-franchise movies that made the top five. See the trailer and buy your ticket XD April can't get here fast enough
The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent - Nicolas Cage as Nicolas Cage... I couldn't wish for anything else in a movie XD
Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness - Oh big shock of shock, MCU movies are on the list. Honestly, the biggest surprise is it has taken until May to get to the next MCU film.
Lightyear - It's Pixar. Nuff said XD
Minions: The Rise of Gru - I have been on board the Despicable Me movies since the first one and while I know it has it's detractors with the over exposed Minions being seen as annoying, this is my list so it's here ^^ I have a lot of fun memories of watching these films with my family so I am looking forward to continuing that trend with them whenever a new entry comes out.
Thor: Love and Thunder - Taika Waititi proved with Ragnarok that the way to film Thor is to embrace the epic 80's metal opera it was destined to be. We have the return of Natalie Portman as Jane in what should be a MUCH MUCH more juicer role. Only thing I would have changed is calling it Thor Four because I like the alliteration play ^^
Bullet Train - A film set in the confines of, as the title implies, a bullet train with five assassins going after their targets sounds pretty fun but what sells this is the director. David Leitch has directed John Wick, Deadpool 2 and Nobody proving the man knows how to shoot actions!
Samaritan - Can't say too much about this one since all I know is Sylvester Stallone is playing a retired Superhero but it's on here because well... Sylvester Stallone is playing a retired Superhero ^^
Puss in Boots: The Last Wish - It has been over a decade since the last movie in the franchise so, TV shows and specials aside, it's high time we got more of the fantastic feline in fashionable footwear. We need more of Antonio Banderas beautiful voice flowing from the part he was born to play XD
Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse (Part One) - Did you see Into The Spider-verse? If not, stop reading this, go watch the Oscar winning movie and then come back and agree it should be on your own anticipated movies list.
Black Panther: Wakanda Forever - As an MCU movie, I am going to see it as soon as I can when it is out but unlike other Marvel movies this one is going to be hard to watch. The loss of Chadwick Boseman hangs over this movie whether they recast T'Challa or not but it is important that the stories of these characters that mean so much to so many carry on. It is a shame we will never see the movie we should have seen with him leading the rest of the cast onward to bigger and better things but we can only have the movies we have and it's important to enjoy those for what they are, not what they could have been.
She Said - This is anticipated unless the trailer under delievers. It is one of the most important stories that hit the entertainment industry in recent memory and should be treated with the care such things warrant.
Avatar 2 - All I can say is... IT'S ABOUT TOASTING TIME! This is a movie that should have been out a decade ago but if there is a film maker that make a ten year wait worth it, it's James Cameron ^^
ADDITIONAL 2022 MAYBEKnives Out 2 - I heard it was gonna be out but no confirmed reports of a release date so yeah I don't know for sure. All I know is I will be watching it when it comes out ^^

General | Posted 9 years agoRules:
1) Post these rules.
2) Post 8 facts about your character.
3) Tag 8 other characters.
4) Post their names along with their creators' avatars.
1. SeductiveForce's real name is Sara Whiteadder
2. Standing at 6'5", Sara originally trained to play Basketball in highschool in the hopes of making it her career. However due to several of her team mates becoming involved in a scandal, her name was also tarnised by assosiation in the eyes of the sport.
3. She started her MWA career with her then real life boyfriend, MC Creed under the name of Sara Sweets. After the two broke up, she continued being MC Creed's onscreen partner before "being brainwashed" and turned in to SeductiveForce by FullForce.

5. While on-screen SeductiveForce is FullForce's wife, off-screen Sara is in a relationship with the ForceFamily's muscle, Bruce "BruteForce" Rauch.

Fursona Meme
General | Posted 15 years ago'alf-inched from
AriaKitty and
FelonyKat
1 – Do you and your "fursona" look alike?
Not so ya'd notice
2 – Do you and your "fursona" share attires?
Somedays I wear a black Nee like hat and black clothing in general but not really the same things
3 – Do you share the same sexuality as your fursona?
Not really. Nee is a celibate creature who is neither male/female/herm or anything other than Nee... Me on the other hand, I'm straight.
4 – If you hadn’t already made your fursona look like you, if you would to change how he/she looked like to make him/her look more like you, how would you think he/she would look like?
erm... if I changed Nee to look like me (which wouldn't happen) Nee would be larger and look like a waterfilled sack wrapped in webcomic t-shirts... Yeah, I ain't too kind on my own looks X3
5 – Did you work hard to develop your fursona? What is the (brief) history of your fursona?
Nee came about in 1998-1999, during a creat-a-wrestler session on the first THQ Smackdown game. Both me and my brother had made power wrestlers and I wanted a submission master. At the time, the game gave you only a select pick a part system and one of series of parts made an armoured medievl knight. Being a monty python fan, he was named after the Knights who say Ni and his size based on a small but fast guy I knew called Lee Night. Over time the games lost the armour so the character moved on to be the snake in a cybertonic battle suit and gas mask we know today.
6 – Do you and your fursona share relationship status?
Nope. Nee has no one special and I do.
7 – Do you find yourself jealous or upset if you get paired with someone you don’t like or your partner does?
Erm.... Nee won't be paired to anyone. He isn't wired to be paired. Friends with everyone equally. But I'd hope no one would pair me or any of my characters without my wishes.
8 – How would you like your character not to be used?
Ya wanna use Little Nee Knight, please do not use him in any sexual situations, in a mean nasty way or any swearing way. Hugs are fun tho so lots of hugs X3
9 – What’s your fursona’s specialty?
Submission moves, mad science and insanity XDDD
10 – At a score of 1-10 how much are you and your fursona alike?
I'd say 01-10... Nee like all my characters are some part of me. So in some ways he is nothing like me and yet in others, we are exactly the same.
