More of the story and details

Greetings to you in Columbus from Canton. Ohio does have a decent rock history beyond just the rock hall... Chrissie Hynde, DEVO, Trent Reznor (technically from PA, but his NIN project started in Cleveland, so I count him as Ohio), Marilyn Manson, and Black Keys just to name ones off the top of my head... John Legend... of course there's also Dean Martin but he's not rock... I know there's more... I was last in Columbus for the 4th of July for the Columbus Crew game that day.

Obvious parallels with the Avengers here, which is odd because the first half of the trailer looked like a gritty, tense standoff between two legends of comic books only to be followed by an action-has-no-consequences, special effects driven, quip marathon with extra characters shoe-horned in (presumably for sex appeal, or am i being too pessimistic?)

There was little chance in the superhero genre (that's enjoying such popularity right now) to build up a strong female superhero that has her own story and relevance. To me, Johanssen's character is nowhere near as deep or involved as the other Avengers are, to the point i can't even remember the character's name but i definitely can remember what she wears. Given that opportunity with Wonder Woman, why is she being introduced as an aside to Batman and Superman? That undermines her right from the start in my view - the male characters all seem to have had their own individual films as introduction.

What i mean is, just as it is for boys, you'd want a young girl to imagine themselves as Wonder Woman and be the centre of focus, in command, important and everyone wants your input or help. In this case, it seems the best you can do is help out her male colleagues with their critically important work, where they both go "oh i thought she was with you."

what a legend. Most national anthem recitals are fairly monotonous anyway!

What a legend....

Looks like it will be decent, although it looks like they took some of the ideas for the characters from League of Legends characters - i.e. the Twisted Fate doppelganger.

How is that in ANY WAY SHAPE OR FORM "Aggressive"?

Holy shit... he was practically laughing at the absurd question...

I like the original title, "Tom Hardy gets asked about his sexuality for the film Legend and the whole thing is AWKWARD."

Completely factual.

This seems to be normal these days. It's a hybrid trans that can be used in auto mode, or partial manual (there's no clutch). My mom's Legend (2005 model?) has that, as did the firebird I rented about 8 years ago. It was freaky, shifting without using my feet, but even then it worked well. I'm sure they have it working even better these days.

Can you imagine the conversation with the doctor?

"we done, doc?"
"well, yes, the plaster is set. I'd recommend at least a few days rest"
"Screw that! To the show!!"

Also, Dave Grohl is the fucking man. After the earthquake in Christchurch in 2011, he donated all the proceeds from his next show in NZ to the recovery charities. Then, they came back 4 years after the quake, played a gig in Christchurch and told everyone in the audience that they were gonna come back and play a free concert in Christchurch.

The dude is a fucking legend.

Both of which are retellings of Richard Matheson's I Am Legend, as are the many that came before them. I still prefer the Vincent Price version of the story, The Last Man on Earth. Though Charleton Heston was pretty good in the mutant apocalypse version called Omega Man.

It's the lone human survivor realizing he has become the villain of an emerging post-human society. The Fallout video game series and Mad Max movie series have also paid homage to this.

Aaaaand... you may hate it, but Waterworld is a special entry in this lineage, in that the anti-hero is a post-human in a human dominated world apocalypse. In that way, District 9 and State Zero are sort of in Waterworld's direct lineage -- or, rather, the joining of forces between the human anti-hero and the post-human hero.

Now YOU are legend.

Over the past few years there has been this trend towards simulating artifacts that you'd more commonly associate with film, presumably to give games a more cinematic feel. Some of them I find really annoying, like film grain, but others like lens flare can actually be used to communicate something you wouldn't otherwise be able to. Likewise, I find depth of field to sometimes be very nicely implemented, even where the effect is really quite strong. Alien: Isolation sort of made a gameplay mechanic out of it. I find it works best when the game only applies it in a context where it makes sense, like bringing up the scanner in Alien, or zooming into one your cities in Endless Legend. Where it fails, I think, is where it is always on and assumes that your crosshair is always going to be your focus.

Sure, it's John Legend's All of Me... but it's also Lindsey Stirling... so *beg
