Why is everyone doing a facepalm? I fixed the broken picture. Or is this over the fact it broke in the first place?

...Was the first one good? I admit I never saw it, it looked like cheap animation from the posters and I have no idea what "Chicken Run" means as a plot description.
I very much enjoyed the original Chicken Run. It was created by Pathé and Aardman Animations (Wallace & Gromit) and published by Dreamworks.
It was a fun story about a bunch of chickens wanting to escape the Chicken Farm they live in. The sequel is meant to take place sometime after the original.
I don't want to give away too much as I do encourage others to watch the original if they haven't yet. I can say that the sequel is written by the same people who wrote the original movie. Not to mention that they've been working on it since April 2018, so I'm at least hopeful the sequel will be good.

Silver Screen / Re: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
« on: July 11, 2023, 09:44:45 PM »
When it comes to TMNT, I'd say that my favorite version is the one that aired in 2003. They had an amazing take on it that I feel really worked out. They made it so Splinter was never human, but Hamato Yoshi's pet rat. (A rather intelligent one at that.) They also made Shredder and Krang be one and the same. Not to mention just how dark this was for a kids show. They got away with a lot in the end. I liked the dynamic of the Turtles. It was the core of the originals, but far more fleshed out.
For me, it got bad when they went through time into the future. It really felt like a filler season at the end of the day. They eventually find a way to get back to the past, and I felt it was a bad move to bring that robot back with them. (He was such bad comedic relief that I can't remember his name.) At that point, I was just glad they ended it on a good note. There are few series that can claim that.
Despite it's shortcomings, I still love the 2003 version, and recommend it to anyone who wants to get into TMNT. It is definitely worth a watch in the end.

I have been playing The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom since it came out.
I absolutely LOVE this game. (STILL don't approve of the "durability system". YOU'LL NEVER CHANGE MY MIND THAT IT'S A BAD THING! NEVER!) I've had a lot of fun with this game. I only have the end game for the main story, but I don't want to end it! I keep exploring and finding new things. I love the references to the previous Zelda games, especially through the armors. The shrines are a lot of fun and are a great challenge in some cases. The new Sages actually feel like real characters. I didn't care much for the champions of the previous games, but these characters I can really get behind. (Save for the final Sage, but that's a whole other can of worms.) I also like the abilities you get from them. (Again, save for the last one.)
There is so much I love about this game,... and then there's gloom. Gloom is one of the most dangerous status effects in any game ever! And I hate it! Gloom basically cuts off access to your hearts. You can't heal until you cure yourself of the Gloom. Luckily, there's two main ways of doing it. To cure yourself of Gloom you either bathe in sunlight, (Praise the sun!) or you use Sundelion to cook Sunny Food. Even then, your hearts become empty, so you still have to normally heal. Yeah, not a fun time.
On top of that, late game enemies hit like a truck. Seriously, 15 hearts aren't enough by then. You will be killed easily if you don't get enough hearts. I am not looking forward to how much damage the final boss will do to me.
Despite the problems, I am having a fun time. This is definitely one of my favorite games of this year. I will continue to see what it brings to me.

Silver Screen / Re: Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Once & Always
« on: April 20, 2023, 12:13:35 AM »
Okay, this thing is out now and I watched it.
It's actually a pretty good, near 1 hour, Anniversary Special. It's quite enjoyable and has everything I could want in a special. Also, it's more violent than most episodes of Power Rangers. However, they can get away with a lot of it because they're beating up foes made of clay and metal. No one's going to care about a killer robot getting quite literally stabbed in the back or a clay man that sounds like a turkey (their words, not mine) becoming a pile of pebbles.
Robo-Rita is a great villain and I loved how she up's the stakes in this. She literally wants to kill the rangers. She can even do it in one attack if she wants. She even has a really good plan and I love it. She was around for less than an hour and I loved every minute of her.
It's also a good Passing the Torch Story. Who gets the powers when a ranger dies? Are they so tied to the original that they can't be passed on? Are the powers as gone as the ranger is? Minh was also a pretty good character. Starting out with wanting revenge, but learning that it's not the answer. At this point, I am happy to have her as the new Yellow Saber-Tooth Power Ranger.
It was a great watch and I'll probably watch it again someday.
For now, I got to get back to my TMNT 2012 binge.

Quote from: WikipediaOn the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, 6% of 32 critics' reviews are positive, with an average rating of 2.1/10. The website's consensus reads, "Oh, bother."
Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned the film a score of 17 out of 100, based on 12 critics, indicating "overwhelming dislike".
Ouch. Sounds about as bad as you’d expect
Geez!
I knew this was going to be bad, but wow! Even if I start a "Bad Horror Movie Night" sort of thing, which I won't, I wouldn't put it in as a candidate. This thing will remain unwatchable for me for the foreseeable future.
