    You...uhhh...know that wasn't a documentary, right?

    ...It wasn't, right?

    Oh, but it was!

    And the events happened in real time!

    edit whoops multipost, I meant to save this as a draft for later oh welllll

    There's a Korra thread somewhere. It's probably been inactive so long it'd be half way to necroposting though, so good luck finding it.

    Yeah, that's what I get for taking like a year finally finish it
    Kwoaru I just finished Korra recently, so dang rad.
    It was so rad

    My only gripes are that
    they leaned really heavy on the cgi in book 4 (the robots and blimps) because I just really hate the way that type of animation looks and also that the internet got all excited and the final korra/asami moment was both spoiled and way over-hyped

    But i can't really get mad at the show (or the internet really) for that, cause it was pretty good

    Also I wish they'd had more episodes because I think everything could have used just a little more time and been just a little more fleshed out. I wouldn't actually change the plot or character moments just spend a little more time on them or something

    You could probably just start talking about Korra/Avatar in the TV thread. The series has/had a pretty good following on the forums

    By the way, speaking of Korra
    did you notice the background resembled the Bisexual flag at the end?

    The mountains in the distance on either side of the spirit world light beam have the exact same color palette.

    Possibly a coincidence, but fun to notice.

    The Korra thread or the SU thread?

    Don't go to the SU thread if you haven't caught up

    Also, to be honest, when people actually really do enforce that shit in large numbers, it can be kinda counterproductive.

    I've had times where I came into a thread where people were spoilering everything really spoilerish, which sounds good!

    But everyone was pretty much exclusively talking about spoilers. It was like consecutive pages of almost nothing but spoiler tags, and browsing it kinda felt like

    And then someone would """""""""""""""""""""""""""vaugly""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" address what was in the spoilers and make them pointless anyways

    Cineflix has just finished their history of action movies.

    I disagree with some of it, but it's pretty cool seeing how the eras shaped the movies, and then shaped the following movies.

    And they also agreed with us that the 90's was not that good.

    I utterly misremembered, because I thought the hidden blade still required it then.

    the hidden blade never actually required the removal, it was just a tradition to prove your devotion to the cause and such

    though it does provide the advantage of being able to close your fist with the blade extended

    Regarding the Battle Elk in the third movie:
    I actually said 'Nooooo!' aloud when it was shot. Not loud, just audible.


    I also forgot that Fili and Kili died in the Hobbit, I thought they died in the backstory of Moria with Balin, but I got Oin mixed up with them, I guess.

    I was watching it on good ol' VHS back in the day, on the phone with a friend as I watched the opening scene, not paying attention. When I was finally done and kept watching the movie, I was confused as shit. "Didn't this guy die already? What the hell is going on."

    So I didn't so much figure out the twist as I was super duper confused the entire time.

    Humor can be dissected as a frog can, but dies in the process.

    All good points. I thought the Colossus animation was good because it made it feel like an almost alien force of destruction, but it took me a long time to stop balking at the mecha-suits. As someone who is really prickly about spoilers I was kinda annoyed that Korra/Asami got spoiled, but I can't get mad because a) I understand how important/inspirational it is to have Bi heroes (in a Nick show, no less) and b) since I knew about it before Season 3 was released here, I was able to view the hints of their relationship from a knowing perspective.

    And more episodes would have been great, but considering the clip show was put in to sidestep having to fire people, I can't blame them for that.

    I really liked U.N.C.L.E. but I pretty much like everything Ritchie does. One thing that amused me is Caville is supposed to be the suave thief and Hammer is supposed to be a big brute but even in their suits it was clear Hammer is not very big and Caville is currently built like a brick shithouse.
