  1. After the failure that was last jedi I don't really have any hope left for the upcoming star wars films and series or whatever to be any good. They should stick to what makes sense within the universe and with the characters and not go with dumb storylines that exist only to surprise and shock fans. F for GoT.

  2. yo, I'm also a graphic designer who do some programming and I also haven't seen past season 4 haha

    welcome, I saw you around the site earlier so it looks like you've already made yourself at home

  3. Of course it isn't I use it all the time. Now, unless you're going to work with something that requires the use of it, you'll probably not need complex algebra, but the basics should be something you use regularly. At least if you've got the intelligence to realize you can use it to solve things in everyday life.

  4. In real life, not really. In online games? Depends on the situation, who the other player is and how they are acting. Most of the time I'm pretty kind but if I'm up against someone who trash talks before the game starts and I know that I'm better, oh boy is he going to hear some sarcastic compliments throughout the game. "Wow that's a really good play you did there suiciding all your units"

  5. No, outside the internet I don't even know anyone religious. If I did know someone like that I wouldn't care, I don't believe in demons anyway. Though I would probably stay away as demon worship is a big red flag that screams shady weird person. I'd rather not get stabbed or some shit you know.

  6. Both have their merits so I wouldn't mind either way but if I had to pick one I'd say same side as well. Though if I went to a fancy restaurant I think it would be more polite/appropriate to sit on opposite sides.

    Spend a weekend on a cruise ship, yes or no?

    That's exactly the issue. The original Lion King is good, so of course the remake is gonna be good by default as long as it's true to the source material. The visuals are definitely impressive but they're unfitting, and the story itself is impressive but that's because it's literally from a movie that already exists and nearly everyone loves.

    The point of the movie isn't to be innovative, Disney are aware that everyone already knows it is a copypaste story. I don't see the problem :p Compare this to the star wars reboot. The Force Awakens was supposed to be the continuation of the saga, the start of an adventure with new characters and a new story, yet everything is a copypaste. That's something to be criticized.

  8. Well of course. It is in fact among my favorite animated movies of all time. A true masterpiece. I saw the cgi "live action" remake today. It has been getting a lot of negative comments recently, so I was curious to see what I would think. And just as most people also say, it's almost a shot for shot remake of the original with a few lines, shots and choreography changed here and there to make it fit with the more realistic theme.

    Honestly, I don't think it deserves all the negative criticism it's getting. The movie was - just as the original - very good.  It is the same movie after all. What you could argue is, however, that since the movie is meant to be more realistic looking (And it really is! The team has done an amazing job, the landscape almost looks like it's filmed in real locations) they are unable to include these silly moments or artistic scenes such as the scene with the animals during the song "I just can't wait to be king". Since they aren't going with the animated look, they are unable to give the animals certain expressions and quirks that made their characters unique and interesting in the original. This is a fair criticism but again, as the point with this movie is to make it more realistic I believe they did it really well.

    Lastly I see a lot of people shitting on the movie because they did not take any risks by making changes to the story and they are only making this movie for nostalgia cash grabs. While this might be true, I think that 1. This is what I prefer. I would have been sad to see them change the story I love so much. That's why I went to see the film after all. 2. This is criticism that should be targeted towards Disney, not the movie. The reason why the film was made should not matter if the film itself is good.
