    Cars 3

    By Hordaki,

    Um, Pixar... are you sure about this teaser? I get that everyone thought Cars 2 was too dumb and childish, and that you want to prove it can be serious. But are you sure the best way to do that is to disturb and potentially traumatize the kids who liked it?
     
    For the record, I do like the first Cars and I think Cars 2 was okay. I'm sure the movie itself will be lighter, and the teaser doesn't really have bearings on if Cars 3 will be good, but this is a surprisingly dark trailer for a film series most known for selling brightly-colored die-cast cars to small children.

    Ask Some Stuff

    By Hordaki,

    I'm bored, so I'm doing an AMA. Ask away.
     
    (Also I'm still looking for a new display name, so if you have any ideas pitch them here. I'll pick one after the weekend)

    Rebootbusters

    By Hordaki,

    Since you guys seem to like debating the new Ghostbusters movie and the neccesity of reboots, I guess I'll throw in my two cents. Just a forewarning, I've never seen a Ghostbusters movie or any of Melissa McCarthy's work, so this is more on the topic of reboots and remakes as a whole.
     
    The fact is, hardly any movies actually need a reboot and are usually just to cash in on nostalgia. But that doesn't mean all reboots are bad. I liked Disney's new Cinderella movie even though nobody was asking for it. But Cinderella at least tried to do some new things and update the story for a modern audience. Another example is The Amazing Spider-Man, which while retreading a lot of material from the Sam Raimi movies and adding in an unnecessary subplot about Peter's parents as spies, had one of the best romances I've ever seen in a superhero movie. There will always be bad reboots, but as long as they add new things to the source material and try to do their own thing, I don't think they can be written off so easily.
     
    I get why fans get upset over reboots, the fact is Hollywood will keep making them until people stop going to see them, and the originals still exist and are just as good as you remember. I think that each reboot should be judged on it's own merits and not just how it compares to the original. As for Ghostbusters, I have no idea how it's going to be, but I'll give it a chance.

    Nickelodeon just announced that they're bringing back the classic game show Legends of the Hidden Temple...
     
    ...as a TV movie. Huh.
     
    On one hand, this is a weird idea and is probably just using the name to cash in on nostalgia, and doing an adventure movie on a TV budget might not be the best idea. But on the other hand, Hidden Temple always did have a narrative in the episodes, so it's one of the very few game show that could work as a movie (besides Carmen Sandiego, as Aanchir has kindly pointed out). And if The Lego Movie taught me anything, it's not to judge a movie by its premise. And who knows, maybe the movie will be popular enough to bring the show back? One can hope.

    SplatBob ToonPants

    By Hordaki,

    SpongeBob vs. Patrick is the theme for the next Splatfest in Splatoon.
     
    I am going to post so many SpongeBob quotes on Miiverse. So many, they're gonna drown in it. Drown in it!

    So I've had a blog

    By Hordaki,

    Turns out that I've been a premier member for three weeks and didn't even notice until now. I figured that I had to do something to redeem it, but I didn't and now I feel like a cool dude. Thanks to Ravana for hosting the Chrom essay contest.
     
    Anyway, on to business...
     
    What's up?

    New Name?

    By Hordaki,

    So I'm thinking of changing my display name, but I don't know what to pick, so pitch me one. It could be anything you want (Bionicle, Lego, TV, movies, alpacas, expensive cheeses, etc.). I'll pick whichever one I like most or have a vote if I can't decide.

    In honor of the impending release of Captain America: Civil War, whose side are you on: Captain America (the Avengers should have the freedom to do what needs to be done) or Iron Man (the Avengers should have accountability for their actions and answer to a governing body)?

    Tangled on TV

    By Hordaki,

    So if you don't know, Disney is making an animated TV series based on Tangled, set between the original movie and the short Tangled Ever After. It's got a good voice cast (both Mandy Moore and Zachery Levi are back), and the art style looks really nice. But if you've seen the movie, you might notice something... off about this picture.
     
     
     
     
    The show could still be good, but that is a big problem they have to get around first. Also I care way too much about children's media.

    You can go back in time and change the dialogue in any one scene from a movie of your choice, the exception being that you can't change the course of the plot (i.e. you can't change who Sherlock Holmes says is the murderer).
     
    What would you change and why? (Remember to tag any spoilers)

    A Thought

    By Hordaki,

    I've already done four 'Penny Thoughts' posts, but I have no idea how to do another without possibly reviving a blog fad.
     
    Also I would say not to use this post to start another one, but that would inevitably start another one.

    Bats and Supes

    By Hordaki,

    I saw Batman v Superman today. I've always liked DC, but their movies haven't really wowed me like Marvel's have. It was pretty good, but not great. I get where the criticism is coming from, but a 30% on Rotten Tomatoes is way too harsh. I'd give it a 7, maybe 7.5 out of 10. The cast was good, so I still have hope for Wonder Woman and Justice League to turn it around and give Marvel a run for their money.
     
    Speaking of Wonder Woman, I'm just gonna put her theme here because it's pretty awesome.
