I have to disagree on the tone, when they weaved in some of TJ Miller's comedy, it felt out of place; TJ Miller is no Bill Paxton. I have to say, though, the implosion was one of the best death scenes I've seen in a long while.
Maaaan the clown was the best, the cynical laugh.... oh man I loved everything about performance, the guttural laugh: "kya ka ka ka ka... get with the fucking program".
Movie officially turns 5 today! I enjoyed it; I actually was surprised Nostalgia critic saying a lot of people hated the movie Didn’t get that at all, not a single reviewer or anybody I talked to mentioned their dislike for this It’s got a wicked sense of humor based around the misery of the holidays. Good scares too. Yes it's PG-13 but scary enough and funny enough. Takes a clever approach of the old mythical legend. And it shows that this family isn't perfect making anyone give up on the magic of Christmas. Happy it was done by the same guy who did Trick r Treat. Yes it's trying to be too much and teeters in R-rated territory. It’s all good fun though. It’s true too that it shows what’s happened to Christmas; commercialization, satire, and smothering promotion over family ties. It’s a good break from the usual schmaltzy holiday fare if you want terror around the happiest time of the year.
I like the series, however, the parts that annoyed me was the slow progression and all the bitching Al did, "Oh Wanda..."; for have the series. Not saying I wouldn't be doing the same thing if ever in the same predicament.
In D & D there is an alignment called a chaotic good also a class called lawful good. My point is, perhaps Al Simmons is CG & Angela is LG and together they are the Eastern principle of Yin & Yang.
The fact that Obi wan loved anakin was kind of the point. Obi wan wasn't the master Anakin needed, Qui gon was. That's why the duel of the fates was the duel of the fates. It ultimately put anakin down the wrong path. Qui gon would have been the stoic, objective guiding father figure required to teach anakin to control his darker impulses. Obi wan wasn't that. He got attached to anakin and treated him more like a brother because he simply wasn't ready to assume the position of master that Maul (and, by extension sidious) put him in.
I was quite drunk when i watched it and fuck me i really really liked it and laughed my ass of. Had a good time, watch it drunk is definetly a good recommendation.
Thank god they didn’t make the exact cartoon over again. This movie was a great live action remake. I wouldn’t have lasted 10 minutes in if I had to sit and listen to Eddie Murphy’s annoying chatterbox voice.
I'm so glad I was a too cool for school teen to watch this in 98 (i was 19) because... damn you sucked the joy out of this movie... I had no reference to this movie... I really enjoyed this movie... sucks that you didn't
Spawn wasn't so known in Sweden back then maybe not even now 😕 but I remember always drawing and painting spawn and everyone thought I was a satanic worshiper especially in school 🤣🤣🤣
Im pretty sure there was a legal battle over angela from memory between image and Marvel and marvel one hence why she is in the gardian of the galaxy comics etc. And if they got more season of this i would have loved them to get to the point where Spawn becomes God. Some good comic reading there.
When I was a kid I desperately wanted to watch SPAWN but, my family didn’t have HBO (which wasn’t uncommon at the time) my parents didn’t care about mature content, I watched worst. I still love SPAWN, hope dark horror movie version gets made. 🙏🤞
There actually WAS a lawsuit from Neil Gaiman to McFarlane considering his work for Spawn comics which Gaiman won. Don’t know if that’s the reason Gaiman’s characters were removed from the series but it certainly could be. Todd was no stranger to losing legal battles, it’s really admirable that did not break his will to fight and create.
I absolutely understand that I view the game differently because I haven't played the first, but this is one of the best games I've ever played. I've seen let's plays etc of TLOU1 so I know they story and what happens. But I connected far kore with Abby than Ellie. In that final fight on the beach, I was letting Abby kill Ellie, that to me is how the game should have ended. Ellie had nothing by the end, she'd let her quest for revenge consume her and her life was meaningless by that point, whereas Abby had clearly changed her ways and become a better person.
Sadly spawn has been in production Hell for like 10+ years. There has been multiple attempts to get a new movie and animated series made. Tod McFarland has been talking about them for years but nothing ever comes out.
