Great episode guys. Could not agree more with Steve’s thoughts on Social Media. Too often people use it just to complain about things that really don’t matter in the long run. People get bent out of shape about everything nowadays.
See Transformers 4 trailer;)
Did people hate it because of the trailer or just because Michael Bay is making another Transformers movie.
LOL I have no clue what the heck to expect outta TF4 after that trailer, and I kinda like it that way. I’ve said since DOTM glad Bay is somewhat listening to fans
Too bad fans where screaming loud enough to have an actual plot this time and either stop trying to be funny or get some people that are actually funny. I did think TF4 teaser looked go. I like those movies for the entertainment aspect. They could just be much better.
I was surprised there weren’t more explosions in that thirty seconds.
My rule is if you are willing to put something out there you have to be willing to accept the consequences
Very true. Just another reason I rarely post. That could be why so many posts are FB and other media are just goofy photos, memes and other crap.
I thought the best Super Bowl commercials where kind of Meh this year. I liked the Radio Shack one with the 80’s want their store back, and the one with the Muppets. Other than that I can’t think of any that stood out to me.
I liked the Puppy one with the horse. It was sweet.
That commercial made me feel weird. That horse would crush that puppy in more ways then one. Weird love story.
Forgot to mention I use Downcast for listening to podcast as I have an android phone. I love it and I would recommend it over pretty much anything else out there. Find it super easy to use and love the setup, especially the ability to rank podcasts.
I thought the TMNT stuff looked awesome. It’s doing something different which I don’t mind, and has me way more excited for the movie.
I loved it too. Great new take on those characters.
The glasses on Donny really bug me.
The Super Bowl ad I liked the most was the one with all the British Actors playing villains. Did anyone see the article on Slash film about who directed what commercials. Some big name directors do a lot of TV commercials.
Does anyone else not like it when they see stars or artists in commercials? I get they need to get paid or whatever, but when I see musicians or actors using their popularity to see some crappy product it makes me feel sad. And I mean who buys something because someone famous told you to buy it. Well I guess everyone does.
The Ghostbusters lego set had me thinking of some of my favorite geek processions. I have some actual Star Wars movie memorabilia that I got at some auctions and have a huge Spider-Man vs Doc Oct statue that I love. Do you have any geek pride processions?
Thanks for the podcast recommendations! Starting using Downcast again and I think I changed my mind about it. While we are on the topic of podcast Aps do you know any that are good for categorizing movies? I found myself rebuying a few movies lately and I thought it would be nice if I had something that would let me keep track of them better. I thought about doing a spreadsheet but figured that would take too long.
Ohh, that one I can answer. I use the My Movies Pro app to keep track of my movies. Has an easy scanning feature that lets you add your movies in built. Has multiple interfaces you can use and includes all the movies info from IMDB. It’s available for Android and Apple devices. Does cost money though, like 8 bucks or something. It also gives you access to an online database you can use on your computer.
