is coming to Arrow! Maybe this will bring me back to the show after the big turn-off of season four.

PLEASE NO SPOILERS Episode VII. Is it good?
Jbricks replied to LegoPercyJ's topic in Culture & Multimedia
CGI works pretty well in TFA. Luckily there was nothing that looked or seemed like this. https://media.giphy.com/media/xTk9ZRSGSbF1irUvW8/giphy.gif -
It seems very apparent that you have not played the game or seen any footage of someone playing it. Why are you decrying something you know so little about? 1) There is no reason to housebreak. I previously said the radius of your "capture distance" circle was about 30 feet, looking at it now it seems more like fifty. From the inside of my house I can capture Pokemon in my neighbors houses, same as from the road. Unless someone lives in a massiv mansion, or has a huge front/back yard, there's no need to be on their property. 2) The same goes for the train line. Also, you don't have to stand still on the Pokemons exact location. Even if you had to go into train tracks, five seconds there wouldn't kill you. 3) No different than texting and driving. Only an idiot would do it, the app even says to pay attention to your surroundings. The app also encourages walking, not driving, as you can only hatch eggs by going X kilometers at speeds under about 15 miles per hour. 4) Sorry, but this is a "real" game, plenty of people can enjoy walking and talking with friends, finding Pokemon with each other as they go.

Anyone see the new Rogue One poster? Personally, I think it has too many flaws for me to enjoy it. (spoiler is just my opinion of the poster)
-
But where is the fun in that? Why would anyone, especially kids, want such an app? Pokemon Go doesn't force excercise, but it does encourage travel with a major emphasis on walking.

Captain Cold's from Gorilla Grodd Goes Bananas. Other wise look to CMFs.

What, you think kids would rather go on a walk then sit at home and play video games? Think again. This app combines the two, I'm not saying it's the best, only way to combat laziness/obliviousness/obesity, but it has good intentions and will hopefully increase outdoor play and the health of kids.

Considering that the movie is sexist, the only way for the sexists to lose is if the movie bombs.

It portrays the males characters as either idiots or complete a-holes, and the finale is what I said it is. Maybe you don't find that offensive (heck, I don't care what those filmmakers have to say) but it is pretty clear sexism. You can make a Girl Power TM movie without making the villain be the whole male gender, but clearly these filmmakers took the easy way out. Maybe they should have tried making a comedy/ horror film instead? Oh wait... I am still in shock that the makers are so bold that they called male critics of the movies sexists even though the movie itself is full of sexism.

There's a lot of misconceptions about this game. You don't chase the Pokemon because they usually stay still for about 5 minutes before "teleporting" elsewhere. Once you walk writhing about 30 foot radius of where the Pokemon appears on gps you ARE close enough to catch it, and tapping it on your map screen will cause your phone to switch to a camera, and the Pokemon will be a foot away, wherever the lens is pointing. You also don't even have to look at your phone to know if there's any nearby, as it vibrates when there's one within 30 feet, so you can catch it. No reason to walk off a cliff or anything. I think the game is great for young kids with plenty of time on their hands. The game forces you to walk (or at least drive in a car) to play. To hatch an egg, the game told me to walk 5 kilometers. Also, visiting monuments, statues, or stores looking for some Pokeprofit TM will get you in game items. I think it's a step on the right direction for mobile games encouraging exercise and worldliness. Edit: as far as dead bodies go, she would probably have been just as likely to find it on a nature walk or sightseeing trip.

Dalekbuster, being a critic doesn't mean someone is unbiased. In fact, many critics are paid to write good/bad reviews (unfortunately). Even if not bribed, any critic could be biased by their own beliefs. That one clearly is meaning to mock those that dislike the movie, a clear indicator of either bias or narcissism. Why would anyone be ok with a movie that is overtly bashing half the people in the world? The extreme irony that this is actually a sexist movie when the makers claimed that it was "sexists" that would dislike it is insane.

I watched a review on Reddit, it's exactly what I thought. Man-hating, bad characters, and bad CGI. Don't believe me about man-bashing? Apparently,

General Magma's Star Wars Figures
Jbricks replied to General Magma's topic in Minifig Customisation Workshop
Nice! I'm sure a lot a Star Wars fans would like a Lego mold just like yours. -
Forresto, perhaps you are overthinking the movie. Obviously there was no overt racism intended by the line (it's a modern major Disney movie). Maybe if he said "play basketball" or "cotton-picking" it would be a racist stereotype, but sanitation is used just because it 1)shows that Finn doesn't know how to disable the shields and 2)sets up the trash compactor joke. Yes, Finn could have said "cafeteria worker" or "armor repair" but those wouldn't set up the joke, and, joke aside, there wouldn't be a huge difference. If people like you stopped seeing Finn as the Black lead character and started seeing him as a lead character, you wouldn't be offended by inoffensive plot elements. Finn is the only character we've met who is involved in sanitation (except the Dianoga trash compactor monster). The only arguable racist-against-black-people element of Star Wars is making the black men out as traitors with Lando and Finn. But that too is not meant as an attribute of their race, but rather just their character.

Disney could de-canonize parts of the prequels. Still sell toys of them but refuse to acknowledge them in the future trilogies. And yes, Mace Windu wasn't a great role for SLJ.

No thanks on actors playing different characters in the same universe. Unless he's in full alien makeup it'd be to distracting.

Perfect!

LEGO Batman Movie CMF Series (2017) Rumors and Discussion
Jbricks replied to LegoPercyJ's topic in LEGO Licensed
I'm guessing that the non-batman characters in this series will be similar to the TLM series. 2-3 important characters, a gag character who is somewhat memorable but not important (where are my pants guy), and the rest being filler background characters. I wouldn't expect the new Harley or Two-face to be so cheaply available, but instead probably "Two-face goon" and "Ace chemicals employee." Anyone else think so? -
Maybe he would have survived, but was hit by one on the way down and that killed him.

custom afternoon chill minifig
Jbricks replied to catch2x2's topic in Minifig Customisation Workshop
If you painted the torso and legs, you could show them unobstructed, same with on the adventurer figure. Otherwise this is good work for a unique figure, thumbs up! -
In past Lego games, there were maybe one or two characters per game that were totally useless. BUT, they also didn't cost $15 each. Unfortunately, Dimensions may be the wrong place to introduce many of the Dr Who characters.
-
I'm confident it will have minifigures. Didn't one of our sources say a blue, clear-domed astromech was coming? That would be the one at the beginning of this video: Putting in just this droid and not actual named characters would be foolhardy.
-
Haha, I jokingly made a minifigure once of a post-ROTS vengeful Windu, using Nick Fury's eyepatched face. I never actually took the idea seriously, nor should anyone unless it's a non-canon comic or such. Personally I'm not a prequel fan and don't want a 60-years-dead character to come back. The biggest prequel reference in TFA was Hux saying something about not wanting to use a clone army, and this seemed like it was just a throwaway line to explain to any out-of-the-loop prequel fan or non-fan that stormtroopers aren't clones.
