No

That’s sad.

Random Fact i found out today:
 
One of the earliest recorded USA school shooters was a 16-year old girl named Brenda Spencer.
 
Her motivation: She hated Mondays.
 
2 Deaths, 9 Injuries
 
Still alive in prison.

@WyrmSpawN  
How old is she by now?

@Phantom Rider  
About 57.

In times like this, this quote from Mark Waid really gets to me:
 
“Superheroes have always flourished in the times of greatest American adversity. In the Depression era, we were afraid of not being able to put food on the table. We were afraid of becoming involved in a great world war that would take away our freedom. In the Atomic Age, we were afraid of radiation. Now, we’re afraid of terrorist attacks. And in all these eras, that’s when superheroes have had their greatest resurgence.”
 
I’m definitely looking at super hero stuff right now for comfort. Currently I’m reading Secret Wars.

never heard of this i am mother movie but this robot looks hella sick.  

I know Power Rangers and super sentai is not well known for amazing CGI  
but the clipping in this  

@northern haste  
Wow that’s some amateur CG work.

@northern haste
 
@Nightweaver20xx  
Seems pretty par the course for Power Rangers/Super Sentai

@Nightweaver20xx  
well at least it’s still looks better than the CG and the 1995 movie  
 
seriously how did this get pass quality control?

@WyrmSpawN  

 
Yup. Incidentally, the Boomtown Rats wrote their most well-known song, I Don’t Like Mondays, about that shooting.

@northern haste
 
Honestly it’s mostly the head that’s the problem. The rest of it looks… well, not GREAT, but decent enough.

@Angrybrony
 
That looks like an automaton from FO 4 at first glance. I approve.

@Angrybrony  

@Dustcan  

 
It looks pretty good in the movie too. I think it helps that it’s more practical effect than CGI (in that it’s a full body suit built by Weta Workshop, the same guys who made props for Peter Jackson’s Lord of the Rings trilogy).
 
And if you haven’t seen I am Mother, it’s actually a pretty decent, reasonably suspenseful movie (although if you’re partial to the genre it’s in you’ll likely see a good portion of the ending coming a ways off).

Bad Choice Road was fucking amazing  
Rhea Seehorn better get a fucking Emmy

Well it’s official Sam Raimi is directing doctor strange 2  

@northern haste  
If the man thought he was under intense corporate/studio pressure while filming Spider-Man 3…

@Zerowinger
 
Must you?

@Jarkes  
Hey, I’m just saying…
 
Thinking optimistically, though - since Dr. Strange 2 involves the “multiverse”…chance for a Tobey Maguire Spider-Man cameo?

@Jarkes  
He’s not wrong.

So, I watches the first two episodes of Bleach.
 
Guys, do you think I should continue watching it? I’ve heard it gets really good about 13 or so episodes in, but I don’t know.

@Penguin Dragneel  
i’d do it. the stuff inbetween isn’t that bad.
