TV/video games/movies off season thread

yep it's an all-time classic film. Now you can look forward to watching it several more times as I'm sure most every other man you know has.
I find myself still processing it a day later. I know it's a good movie, when I'm thinking of it a day later.
 
Not played in a few years. Loved it when I played.
You should get warzone man! I have 3 out of the last 5 of them. WWII, Modern Warfare, and Vanguard. Spent a ton of time on Warzone but not a lot of any of the campaigns. Decided today I was going to beat all three when I had time. Definitely getting MWII this year as well.
What are your top 3 from the series?

I've not played that many of them to choose. Modern Warfare was the one I really got into.
 
Hanks is amazing. We're running out of living legends and think he's one.

Hanks dying is going to be the biggest kick in the dick ever. When he got covid early on I was all like "Covid, you mother****er, if you kill Tom f'ing Hanks..."

Saw a clip of maybe the 94 Oscars (?) a little while back. Julia Roberts, Denzel Washington, Arnold, Tom Cruise, Tom Hanks, Sandra Bullock, Jack Nicholson, Mike Douglas, Bobby DeNiro, Meryl Streep, Al Pacino, Morgan Freeman, Jim Carrey, Nicole Kidman, Tommy Lee Jones, Spike Lee, Anthony Hopkins, Holly Hunter, Leo DeCaprio, Daniel Day Lewis... it was an ENDLESS array of straight-up STARS. I feel like we just don't have those anymore, you know?

that's so funny you say that because for years I've been saying the same thing when it comes to movies. I know a movie is good if I'm still thinking about it the next day. With Saving Private Ryan i was still thinking about it for about 10 straight years.

There's plenty of movies that I watch where the next day I couldn't even tell you what happened, I've already forgot.

I'll be quite disappointed if you play any of these shooter games and choose a role other than lone wolf crazed shooter.

Oh, no no, @JimboBBN chooses the "hide WAY at the back of the map and hide really well and plink away at people from so far away they don't even see you, avoiding combat at all cost" role. Far more fem.

For some reason, the tea/coffee maker before the bridge scene keeps going over and over in my head.

I'm working on why that has stuck with me.

Out of all the content in that movie....Why did he put that there? It made it through the editing room.

WAD, just ignore the female I also quoted in this post.

Im decent at COD, mainly sniping, but not the best in close quarters compared to some of the other players. The guys with no lives, you know the type. But one of my buddies is actually really good at the game, so more often than not, I just do what he wants 🤣
 
I'm glad I haven't watched it because I would probably roast it really hard. Halo got me into gaming. I've played the multi-player way more than any other game. Things I've heard about it from my xbox Halo buddies are not good.
The last episode didn't have chief in it at all, it was all about this Kwan bitch that everyone hates and is ruining the show. The ****ed up thing was the episode before it was actually good, there were no action scenes but it was about Master Chief and Halo not some random broad no one gives a **** about. outside of the action scenes (2 total this entire season so far) it's been really, really bad for the most part.
 
I've thought about getting Paramount just to watch, sounds like I'm not missing out. I probably know more about Halo from the games/YouTube than I ever could from this show anyways.

I cannot imagine that show would be any good. To me, Halo has never really had a great story behind it... like, do we know much about Master Chief at all? Do we ever see his face?

Felt like a cheesy attempt to cash in:(

Now, if they do a Red Dead show... I am THERE.


@lurkeraspect84 any headway on Band of Brothers?

I think I read somewhere they were considering making RDR2 a movie, and I would be all about it.

And I do have to disagree with you on the story. I think Halo is a great storyline, and its been amazing to follow since being a kid. There's a ton going on, so it can be challenging to keep up with. But I've always enjoyed it.

You would definitely know better than I would... just always felt sort of "generic sci fi" storyline to me? But I DEFINITELY didn't play that game like you did!

I still haven't started it. I have it ready to go, just haven't had the time yet this week.

Lol. Yeah I've not heard good things. Heard they show chiefs face, that's a big no no for me. Even little things like them shooting a battle rifle but it sounds like an assault rifle would upset me so im staying away from it. They literally should've just done the story from Halo: Combat Evolved. The story is fantastic.

Trip to Greece was great. I got to experience Easter there, which was definitely something. Midnight hit and so did the fireworks and explosions.

Vacationing there honestly isn’t as expensive as you’d think. I’ve had trips to Florida that cost more.
