So this is what you were doing that whole time you were not watching everything else? You were watching the Blade movies?

Oh, that's what you've been teasing him about. I wish I'd known; I could've teased him too.
I've only seen them each one time, when some station was showing Wesley Snipes movies back-to-back (I think they showed

I'm sure I borrowed it from a friend and used my AMAZING dual tape cassette boombox to tape it for myself. PIRATES 4 EVA
Would you tape a car?

I really want to see the new one despite the crappy look of the Turtles themselves, but the trailer literally makes it look exactly like the Transformers movies. Like *exactly*, even thought they're supposed to be Ninja Turtles and not Transformers. All the visual action ticks are exactly the same, and all the overused slo-mo makes me want to slam my head into the wall. I'm desperately hoping that there is proportionally less slo-mo in the actual movie, but you just can't tell with Michael Bay.
Man I don't even care, it looks fun as fuck.
So, apparently there's the chance that Studio Ghibli may be closing its doors soon.

I would be more surprised if Disney didn't buy them out and turned them into an art house production studio or to a company that produces their Japan content.
Not news but a preference question.
I have not seen Captain America: Winter Soldier, and won't be seeing it until it's available for digital download (September I think).
I do have Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D and am currently have "Turn Turn Turn" in que, which I believe is the tie-in episode with Winter Soldier.
Should I watch Winter Soldier first before watching the rest of the series? Or does it make a big difference at all?[DOUBLEPOST=1406304680,1406304309][/DOUBLEPOST]
I find it interesting with the scene where Bay is mocking his own idiocy when he wanted the Turtles to be aliens originally.

Looks fun. I mean Michael Bay has gotten me before. But I must admit that the first Transformers is a guilty pleasure of mine. There are definitely some terrible terrible moments in it, and I don't imagine it will be any different for TMNT, but so far it looks like I could walk away with some entertaining memories.

I would wait for Winter Soldier, if you can hold out. If you know the story of the movie and how it ends then yeah, you could just move on into AoS, but if you don't it'll definitely spoil some things.
I don't think it really matter which one you see first, either way you'll be surprised by the shared reveal in one of them (assuming that at this point you still don't know what it is) and have more of an idea what's going on when watching the other. Both of them have their seperate storylines and developments though, so you're not going to ruin one by watching the other.
What I heard...
I heard that S.H.I.E.L.D pretty much becomes defunct. Kinda like the Mission Impossible Force in the 4th movie. Also something about Fury dying and coming back. Sadly I'm not immune to spoilers for long.
But does that wrap up the bulk of the surprises?

As far as I can remember, yeah, those are pretty much the major ending points of the movie.
Shield's downfall is pretty much the major driving plot point of AoS past Cap 2. If you don't know why Shield is dead, though that will definitely get spoiled for you by AoS.
This is probably a silly question, but do you know who the Winter Soldier is?
I watched the shield episode first, and I don't feel like it spoiled the movie at all. It does reference some things in the movie, but references them in a very subtle way, to the point that I didn't know what specifically they were talking about (though did know enough to follow the plot of the episode) until I watched the movie, and then realized "Ohh... that's what happened."
It's done in a pretty clever way, actually. The events in SHIELD happen away from the events of Winter Soldier, so they don't know what's going on either, but obviously have to deal with something -big- happening.

If you understand the reason why S.H.I.E.L.D. is almost defunct, then you are ok to watch the episode.
Winter Soldier is Bucky from the first movie right?
Ok, you've got the biggest spoiler then, though to be honest almost everybody who's remotely familiar with the Captain America universe knew that one.
It looks like The Last of Us is getting a film adaptation. Sam Raimi is set to produce, with Maisie Williams (Arya Stark in Game of Thrones) in talks to potentially play Ellie.

Hah, I wonder if they even bothered to ask Ellen Page. Probably not.
That would be hilarious.
Awesome, so now it'll be a derivative post-apocalyptic zombie MOVIE, too.
Awesome.
How is it derivative? I mean sure, it's a zombie game, but it's story does take some unique turns, even if only in how it ends.
It's a fantastic little story with a great emotional charge. Now, much like any adaption, it will have to be modified to fit a 2 hour movie. Of course, since the actual writer is the same guy as the game... That's a good sign.[DOUBLEPOST=1406349977,1406349960][/DOUBLEPOST]It's a fantastic little story with a great emotional charge.

I don't think The Last of Us is a hard story to adapt to film. The game itself is pretty cinematic, so I'm hoping we don't have to worry about the writer shoving in little nods to it having been a video game, like "Game over!" from Street Fighter, or the first person thing from Doom, or the "congratulations, you've beaten the game" style scene near the end of Silent Hill. Just tell the story like you'd tell it in any other movie and it should be the best video game to movie adaptation there is.
Should.
Should.
