    Sophia is the new Walt.
  3. I'm wondering if they'll decide to break away from the earlier films even more by introducing characters like Cyclops and Jean Grey while it's still set in the 60s or 70s or if they'll go with more obscure ones to keep the focus on Xavier and Magneto again.

    Haven't seen it.

    Silver Bullet - One of the better Stephen King adaptations.
    It is pretty creepy but pretty awesome how this disabled kid just st(rolls) out into the middle of nowhere knowing there's a werewolf around.

    Ginger Snaps (All three) - The sisters were great characters in all 3 movies. I even liked Ghost in 2.
    Seen the first and third one. They were okay I guess but the fangirls hype it up too much.

    The Howling - Classic werewolf movie, with still one of the best looking werewolves on film.
    I was kind of disappointed with this one. I finally got around to watching it on Netflix a few months back and there just wasn't enough werewolf action for me.

    Quote:
    The Company of Wolves - Great take on the Red Riding Hood legend, and with a really interesting transformation sequence.
    Another one I haven't seen yet.

    Wolf - Better than the new Wolf Man movie.
    I need to rewatch this one. I need to be sure that nostalgia goggles aren't making me agree with you. I just remember Jack Nicholson and James Spader being creepy as hell as they turned.

    Quote:
    An American Werewolf of London - Another classic of werewolf films. Also a great looking wolf.
    I was surprised by how much I liked this one. Having the film culminate in the werewolf rampaging through London made it seem more ambitious and worth the hype than some other so-called classics of the horror genre.

    Quote:
    Dog Soldiers - Probably the best movie of the lot.
    This was one that just got better and better on repeat viewings. I couldn't even tell what the hell they were saying half the time but I picked up on enough of the dialogue to know it was still funny, and learning the meaning behind their quips just made it better. It really was the Aliens of werewolf movies. I'm just dying for another one like it, only bigger.

    If there's anything in that game I'd like to carry around in the zombie apocalypse, it would be the Molotov. If Shane and Otis could have chucked one right behind them, they'd have been able to get to the car no problem.
    You do realize that it'll just make them undead cannibals on fire if you do that, right? o.O

    I dunno about that slingshot idea. I remember I was watching a show once where they tried to replicate the whole David and Goliath scenario (might've been Mythbusters) and they basically brought in the best person in the world with a slingshot and even then it was pretty difficult to pull off.

    You could probably find a crowbar somewhere, though. It'd feel like to a waste to me if someone offered me a choice of any two weapons and I picked something I could find easily enough.

    Eh, I thought Benecio del Toro kind of ruined it with his horrible acting, and I much prefer werewolves that look more wolf than man, so it was disappointing to me.

    I'm still waiting on the rumored Dog Soldiers sequel too.

    Disagreed. A lot of it was good, but the werewolf ended up silly and looking like a teddy bear. Not to mention they fumbled the ending. Instead of a werewolf on werewolf brawl we get some folks with long nails and teeth throwing each other around in a kitchen. Weak.

    I have it, but I can only rewatch it so many times. I just want Hollywood to make a high-budget werewolf epic. Is that too much to ask?

    My family has a two crossbows, a full-sized and a handheld. They're kind of tricky in my experience, but I haven't shot them much. There's a lot of anticipation for the shot because the projectile is so visible and the shot is so often off-target; it ends up above where you're aiming a lot. Seems like something you'd go for for silence instead of precision and accuracy.

    Vampires have had enough movies. I'm waiting on a great werewolf movie!

    Has anyone else considered going with a high-powered pellet rifle for zombie killing? I've got a low to medium power pellet rifle that goes through thick metal paint cans easy enough, and it seems like it'd be easier to manage the ammo, not to mention quieter. It wouldn't be for up-close, unplanned encounters, though, obviously.

    So, the zombie apocalypse has occurred, and you're in it for the long haul. On you're journey you come across a purveyor of all sorts of weaponry (from stone-age to modern firearms). You can take only two weapons total, but your choices are limited to what you could actually carry (so no choosing a tank). What two weapons do you take to fight the zombie horde for the long run?
    Katana and silenced sniper rifle, duh.
  17. Sweet jesus, don't say anything to suggest that DC's new 52 reboot was a good idea! Are you insane?!

    Don't encourage them.

    Oh I don't mind if they deviate from the source material, just so long as it's, y'know, good (about 70-80% of this show has been meh IMO). I also don't mind if they're a little wishy-washy on their zombie rules and such so long as they aren't inviting a bunch of scrutiny by having a show to discuss the show immediately after it airs and having show notes scroll across the bottom during repeats.

    Evidence is inconclusive on that one.

    Kirkman has said the zombies need to eat live flesh, which is why they don't eat their own.

    So, either Shane is smart enough to know this and hobbled Otis to get away, thinking if he'd shot Otis in the head the zombies would still follow him.

    OR...

    Shane is a big jerk.
    Well they've already deviated from the snails-space zombies in the comics to the speed walkers, so who knows how much of what Kirkman says is valid in this series? Not to mention that all of the tissue isn't going to die off in the 15 seconds it takes for the zombies to get to Otis . . .

    Regarding zombies preferring fresh meat: didn't we already see the suicide in the tree got eaten after death?

    I notice they're continuing the tradition from the comics of giving Lori the stupidest dialogue; I mean, there's a reason Rick has told her to shut the **** up in the comics.

    And here's hoping we get the barn revelation soon!

    Well the article says $7.5B, which makes Frank Welker more than a billion short, according to your link. o.O
