Alice still has it. That show I saw back in 2013 was incredible.

New trailer that gives away a little too much.
It does; but I still liked the trailer overall. I enjoyed some of the energy coming from the main cast and some of the action beats we are getting. Just could of been edited better. People were getting mad that they thought Snyder and WB were copying Marvel with it's few moments of humor. It's not like those DC movies were 100% super serious and WB never confirmed there would be no quips or wisecracks from the heroes. They can still have those gritty tones yet have a few lighter moments. Basically they can strike a balance if they want to. Alot of it were just people looking at rumor mills or trying to troll Marvel fanboys online. Why can't we love both properties? I mean how can you not have the Flash or Aquaman without some fun and optimism. Even Man of Steel had a few moments like that; but it didn't hurt the tone of the movie. Trailer did give me a few worries like they are kind of rushing Doomsday and he would of been better served for either Justice League or a Man of Steel sequel. But...hey if they do the villain right or just have an introductory fight to what he is capable of, then later use him for another movie, then that's fine with me. I hope the final movie is great and kicks so much ass. 2016 is going to be a killer year for comic book and movie fans.

I agree with others, far too much story line & talking in this one. I was surprised, that the episode the zombies broke thru the fences, wasn't all that much fear or action?! That almost seemed like a subplot to me I was confused.
I don't blame ya. It didn't feel like a midseason break at all. Either someone did a bad job at editing the footage or AMC just got greedy. Probably both theories. I read this interesting article on Forbes that discusses and shares alot of the sentiments that we all have right now.

They are going to show the full trailer during Jimmy Kimmel on Wednesday night and then it will be on YOUTUBE afterwards. Still looks great.

Why did the my let into the badlands dictate the schedule? That show is fun but won't have lasting ability. We spent 90 minutes on Morgan and Eastman but only get 60 minutes for a mid season finale? What kind of pussy shit is that?
I get why they are showing it right after Walking Dead to pull in that viewership and ratings; but it still doesn't fit in that particular time at night. I've seen bits of episodes from that show and I really don't care for it to be honest. I know AMC wants more adaptations and original shows; but they have other days of the week to do that. I know that Norman Reedus is helping with one of them right now besides his time on TWD. Should of been the complete opposite situation indeed. The issue with the Morgan episode was it shouldn't of been during the beginning of this season. It should of happened either in Season 4 or somewhere in the middle of 5 as a couple of flash back moments. I didn't mind the episode and it had some great acting; but it just felt out of place for the show in general. Especially the ending and how it tied into this past episode makes Morgan come off as even more delusional and lost than he was before. Should of been it's own separate special that still connected to the show; but didn't detract from the season's main story or try to confuse the viewers.

I agree with everyone's points and opinions so far. The biggest issue I have with the episode above all is that it feels short and has so many issues that could easily get resolved; but again keep dropping throughout the whole thing. I feel this is AMC's fault this time where they wanted to cut the episode to hype up the rest of the season which is bullshit. They had the perfect opportunity and could of easily finished that important plot point near the end (which is from the comics) and extend the episode for a little bit. They have the money to do that. Also it could be Gimple's fault as well with his experimenting. Which I think the show has done enough of. They keep delaying the inevitable. Some main characters that showed up in the episode were in it for one scene given nothing to do. They don't need this much exposition. Especially this late in the series. They had the perfect opportunity to do the scene and have a few more deaths; but they played it cheap and way too safe. Also the prologue/end credits scene afterwards was fine; but it could of been in the actual episode. Seriously? I really don't want them rushing into Neagan too soon. Looks like that Wolf leader will still be around as a threat, maybe more Wolves are still out there that weren't shot at/killed by Rick & Carol or other members of the survivors. Why couldn't they have one of the kids die? Also no Jesus or Hilltop reveal either...fuck...! Also please for the love of god if "Into the Badlands" is affecting the run time for the show, then move the show up to a different spot during the week or move it till 11pm instead. What they should of done in terms of writing and structure was take elements of the last episode and the beginning and ending bits of the mid season episode. That would make it feel much more satisfying and the pacing would make for a better story. Then take the end credits scene and add a few action bits, there ya go. This felt more like a filler episode wrapping a few loose ends. Hoping things change for the better when February rolls around.

I was too, but the reviews aren't great.
I hear you need to download all these mods just to run it. Also there are bunch of load issues, frame rate drops, and not a whole lot of content when you finally play the game.
#268 Re: The Sunset Strip » The Star Wars Thread *NO SPOILERS ALLOWED!* » 500 weeks ago
Poor fella. Oh well. Hopefully Disney does it right.
Judging from sources that know folks from Collider and other top movie critic websites that have seen the film in private screenings, they said it's mind blowing and awesome. One of them wasn't even a huge fan of Star Wars either and liked it. So these are good signs. Cause you want this movie to stand on it's own and be great as well as complimenting the 6 movies that came before it. Harrison Ford has been very friendly in the press recently promoting the movie and JJ's work ethic. Which Ford has rarely done much praise for a movie in decades. This is a guy who feels happy to be a part of this franchise while a couple years prior wanting nothing to do with it. JJ just finished the movie besides doing any last minute color corrections or edit touch ups with his team for theaters.
I feel for Lucas because he even offered the prequel treatments to other directors such as Ron Howard and Speilberg. They said no because it was George's vision and his property. They didn't want to change that and while that's understandable, the prequels would of been better served with a Kasdan or another talented screen writer to bounce off of Lucas and give off more character development/dialogue. As well as an assistant director to help with scenes where they needed to serve the actors and not the set pieces. There was an additional director that helped with the production of "Attack of the Clones" and even Speilberg himself shot a few action sequences un-credited for "Revenge of the Sith". Because they're friends and all.
Also doesn't help that the fan-base were and still are quite vicious and being a bunch of cry babies over movies that weren't made for the so called fans. They were made to tell the story Lucas wanted to tell and also he made characters like Jar Jar and such for his kids. I respect him for having the balls to do those movies and there's alot of good in all three of them. Yeah...there were miscasts like Hayden, under developed subplots, a little too much green screen in "Attack of the Clones", and bad dialogue. There is also a ton of world building, fun characters, good scenes that lead to an outcome, and popcorn set pieces. Ewan McGregor's Obi Wan being the highlight of that trilogy in particular. Episode 2: Attack of Clones going back to it years later after seeing it as a kid is the movie I find with the most problems out of the three. Revenge of the Sith has a few off moments; but overall feels the most like the original Star Wars and feels like a complete story. Also getting way with a ton of dark moments and being the first PG-13 film in the franchise showed some of things Lucas wanted to do with his cinematography. Phantom Menace just has a weak script overall; but I still find that it's not bad of a movie as alot of people think. He has a done so much for the entertainment industry especially investing in the latest camera set ups, 3D technology, sound work, gave a bunch of money to help Pixar develop, video games, and much more. The rest he gave to charity or in to his estate for the future. He's going to make money off the new movies with Disney since he gets a producer and creative consultant credit since the older characters he still created. Those toy sales are going to go through the roof.

She was on Stern the same day Charlie made his big reveal. She said she was getting threats and nasty comments slung her way that she gave the virus to Charlie. She did get tested and it came back negative and she was obviously not too happy with Sheen. She said they had sex practically every day for a year. Unprotected when she wasn't ovulating, otherwise with lamb skin condoms which only prevent pregnancy and not STD's. He assured her he was clean and had a full time on call doctor administering care for him, but not her obviously.
In his defense, he claims that he didn't find out he was HIV positive until after they broke up, but Bree doesn't buy that and claims she can prove it. I felt real bad for her listening to the interview. Not many people are going to side with the adult film star over the Emmy Award winning actor.
I can't seem to find the whole interview online, but here are a few clips.

I feel bad for her as well. I don't particularly care for Stern; but thanks for the additional info. Much obliged.

Never was a huge ED fan, but this looks pretty good. Good dose of humor and creative kills.
Agreed. Kind of wish the episodes were a little longer; but I can't wait for the next one.
