It wasn't terrible but the only thing I truly remember from it besides flashes of the opening scene is the Roxanne sequence for some reason.

I always thought I was a scifi girl. What I was into as a kid was in large part the Star Wars EU. But I eventually realized that I was a fantasy girl whose favorite scifi was all scifi with fantasy tones. Hard scifi has never been a favorite genre of mine.

Yup.

It is still up in the air, and probably always will be barring TARDIS technology or some super unlikely find of some very well preserved historic documents, whether he had them killed or someone anticipated he'd like them killed and he was just okay with it after the fact.

Either is possible, neither is commendable.

Frankly Richard III ought to thank Shakespeare. Without him making a play about it he'd just be another forgettable short reigning Monarch of the Middle Ages. Like King Stephen, for example, anyone except the Cadfael fans remember him? No, nobody does. How about William Rufus, and he was one of the successful ones, but I bet all but the hardened historical scholars could only give you a blank look if you said his name. Shakespeare made sure his name would live forever. The villains have all the best roles anyway.

And that reason is because it's GOLD, baby! :)

I'm so frustrated. I wanted to join in this month, but my library only has Dragon Thief and Dragon Princess.

Power Rangers. It would have been cool to have such a diverse blockbuster of young people being super heroes.

Star Trek Beyond because we may not get a fourth movie :(

It did very well in Spain but A Monster Calls was never going to make money in America. Which is a real shame.

Moana because I wanted it to beat Frozen domestically.

Y'know, cannibalism!anon, you'd probably like the movie Reefer Madness: The Musical, or at least the ending of it. Just sayin'.

"I found me a snack, it was nice and fresh!"

I like both but nearly all of my favourite shows/movies have some kind of fantasy element to them, I just really prefer magic over technology apparently.

I've not seen/read much hard sci-fi so I can't say how much I like it.

Richard III fans ought to get over themselves, you know which king Shakespeare really shafted? Macbeth of Scotland. The cartoon with Jonathon Frakes in it is closer to actual history than Shakespeare's play about him.

Either Spiderwoman, Zombiegirl or Emotional Vulnerability Lass.

Yup. I like magic, epic scale stuff, heroes' journey plotlines, that sort of thing. I've read some and enjoyed it. But not as much as I like things like Star Wars or Dune (which has tech but still feels very fantasy to me).

Yeah, I'm pretty much the same way. Cornell's death should get me in some way just because I was in high school in the 90's and was all about the indie/grunge scene back then, but... it just doesn't bother me like it does some people.

He could use a diet and a nip'n'tuck.

Moana has become my second favorite Disney movie after Lion King. It was just so great.

I wish Beyond has done better too because it was the best of the three, IMHO, and felt the most Trek-like.

The Uncharted series. I never expected to get into as much as I have, and here I am writing more fic for it than I have for any of my other fandoms.

I'm cool with mood whiplash so I can probably try those two. I think I'll try Dekaranger as well and maybe save Gokaiger if I get into it.

Thanks op!

I still think The Severing Crime Edge is better than it gets credit for. It takes relationships that seem strange or even unhealthy, and it explores everything good and everything bad about them, neither casting judgment nor pulling its punches. It's basically everything Speed Grapher wasn't insightful or empathetic enough to pull off.

(Note: I read the manga, and most people who talk about TSCE watched the anime.)

this.

Dredd and Edge of Tomorrow.

Ian Duncan Smith. He'd make me very ill, but at least I'd have the pleasure of shitting him out at some point.

Tell me, cannibalism anon, which deity would you devour and why?

I mean if we are going for Vore-wank, let's go right to the top.

You aren't devastated by the death of a musician whose music you don't even care about in the first place? Okay? Is that supposed to be a mystery or something? I don't get this secret at all.

Buy it on Amazon then, you can always sell it on when you've finished it.

Hahahahaaa,the Rider secrets are coming next~

The one on the left is Abaranger (2003) and the one on the right is Go-Busters (2012). Abaranger was adapted into Dino Thunder (seriously, I was so disappointed in JDF coming back that I was 100% unable to judge Dino Thunder on its own merits); Go-Busters got no adaptation.

Abaranger is a dinosaur series; the gist of the story is that Earth was split into two by a meteor 65 million years ago. On our Earth (aka Another Earth), dinosaurs died out. On Dino Earth, weird shit happened. (I realize that this was the plot of the Super Mario Brothers movie. I also realize that this makes Asuka Princess Peach. I find this hilarious.) Dino Earth gets an apocalypse in the form of a bunch of demons, the remnants of society build some cool shit, and then the one guy who has the ability to use it gets punted over to Another Earth as the demons try to invade over there, too. Series start. (Fair warning, the CGI is awful. It was 2003. Try not to judge too harshly.) Keep in mind that there is a SHIT TON of absolutely ridiculous, and then there are some of the darkest themes in Super Sentai before or since (this happens around episode 30, when the entire series does a Face Heel Turn).

Go-Busters is a spy series; in 1999, a bunch of researchers were dragged into hyperspace by what essentially amounted to a digital god. They managed to get three of the kids in the building out by infecting them with a nanobot vaccine that gave the kids superpowers and also the ability to psychically link to a specific robot. Fast-forward to 2012 and the company sponsoring the research has been training these kids as secret agent superheroes for the past 13 years so that when the digital god figures out how to send things out of hyperspace, the kids can go kick the shit out of them (Ttey're 16, 20, and 28 as of the series start). The tone of this one is a bit more, ah, even than Abaranger, but it also has some dark themes by the time the eight-episode-long finale rolls around. It also tried to demonstrate a more realistic tone (they showed the support staff it takes to keep the mechas operational, for example), but there was also a fair bit of slapstick comedy.
