Good evening neighbor
Went with my dad, one of my brothers, and two of my uncles to a couple of funerals in a row, to my surprise, the first one was of the grandmother of one of my college friends
Then visited an aunt of mine, we were in the neighborhood

I'm sorry for your losses, Speed Force.

What was blocking the water?

I'll refer you to Pharozonk:

I'm going to assume that's a question best left unanswered.

I share the house with 2 other folks. I'm going to blame them for using the toilet as a waste bin.

If I agreed with critics, then I wouldn't enjoy the first Mortal Kombat movie and the 1994 Street Fighter movie
And a bunch of other movies

Civil Engineering was my major in college, I can take it
If it's best not to be seen by others, you can PM the answer to me

I'm sorry for your losses, Speed Force.

Thank you, I appreciate it

This came up a couple of pages earlier in this thread, but Mortal Kombat is retroactively considered to be a pretty enjoyable movie... especially when compared to MK: Annihilation.

Street Fighter? Perfectly acceptable guilty pleasure. Though I hate what they did with Zangief. Among other things. And turning Ryu and Ken into a bunch of petty schemers. What? But Raúl Julia did fine with his part.

Annihilation is entertainingly bad

I can get over the changes they made to the characters in this movie, they had to make something of them in the movie
In most of the games Ryu is all about the fight, Ken is all about facing Ryu and proving he's the best...etc etc, I wouldn't have as much fun with the movie if it took a more direct approach with characters as they are in the games
Raul Julia easily topped everyone else in that movie, I won't hesitate in listing him one of my favorite movie villains

I think the Street Fighter 2 anime did a nice job at making a more faithful adaptation of the game. But even there, a lot of characters had to be reduced to one-scene guest appearances, simply because of how many characters there are to begin with.

But, admittedly, at the end of the day, who's going to watch a fighting game adaptation for the storyline?

Obviously, me
I even enjoyed the Tekken movie

Man, going to need to watch the video later, this time at night the internet lags, and I won't be able to view the video

...

I love this movie

For years afterwards Barbara Carrera was my pick for Talia al Ghul

More than a few times what a critic likes stink and what they hate turns out to be decent.

Neighbors seems to be doing really well with critics. I'm excited to see it now.

that was a good movie.

This cartoon, on the other hand...

It's really about finding the critics that match up with your tastes.

I'll probably see it after Godzilla. Zac Efron is a pretty legit actor.

I was going through my DVD draw earlier, and I think this will be tonight's viewing...

I saw this in the cinema as a wee kid, and was reminded of it a few years back. I dreaded that it was going to be one of those films which was terrible, but fondly remembered through the rosy haze of childhood nostalgia.
It was BRILLIANT! Just pure wonderful wish fulfillment stuff. Such fun.

[Pharozonk]

Same here. We were hoping to go for Godzilla and catch Neighbors afterwards.

I'm always amused by people who want a comic book to fail or get cancelled simply because they don't like a certain character.
Why rob someone else of joy or wish that on them?

It's childish.
