Oh crap, I had no idea Mumei/whatever she calls herself now had that serious a condition. Poor girl.
Scrabble was a huge part of my childhood. Chuck's death hurt me as well.
I know this isn't that important. I'm probably the only one here who cares.
But I'm a lifelong fan of the game show genre, and I wanted to pay due respects to one of the all-time greats.
He hosted 20 different shows, second only to fellow legend Bill Cullen.
Yes, it WAS dumb. I completely agree with you.
But that's how they saw things in the 1980s.
TV shows meant solely to advertise toys and games had JUST been made legal at the start of the decade. That's how Rubik The Amazing Cube got made (I'm not making that up).
This was new territory, and they were businessmen--empty suits, bean-counters, not creators. They had no reason to see this as anything more than an advertising vehicle...no pun intended.
The views are different now, largely thanks to the reactions to this movie. Now we get Transformers shows that actually stand on their own as series, such as Animated and Prime did--I loved Transformers Prime.
Or at least, they used to stand on their own as series...I just remembered the they/them atrocity that was Transformers Earthspark. Yuck.
Never forget the walkie-talkies.
"Hatred is the soul's immune system."
At what point does it become an autoimmune disorder?
One post said they had been preparing for this moment since 2021.
And we expect Trump to do everything in three months
It sounds like she's saying poor people are bad.
"It's easy to hate the rich. But do you have the courage to hate the poor?"
I saw the special commentaries on the 2006 Transformers movie DVD.
Hasbro didn't see it as a "mostly-serious with characters you can root for and want to be like" show.
It was a toy show.
It was meant to advertise toys.
That's all Hasbro saw it as then.
The reaction to this movie was exactly what made Hasbro change their views on this.
And now it's considered a ballsy move.
That's the thing about risk.
Sometimes you lose
A beautiful piece of music, restored to its proper form.
I hope one day it returns full-time.

Imp was right about quite a few things.
But he is so completely insane that it made me want to oppose him out of spite.
As opposed to, you know, the legitimate reasons.
Cool.
So
Are you solutions-oriented or still in the emotions phase?
(Oh ho ho, consider THAT nerve touched!)
Speaking as a brother in Christ:
Fuck that, we've got a war to win.
The 1994 Fantastic Four movie was never meant to be released.
It had almost zero budget.
And yet, it was made with LOVE and RESPECT.
They worked around the budget issue by focusing on characters instead of powers.
And that's why the movie's reputation has so improved in recent years.
The 2005 one is at least a guilty pleasure, I'll give you that.
Every F4 movie after...no, it sucks.
Good.
The strategy requires they be saved for last.
So when Trump goes after them, there will be much rejoicing.
ConPro will get what they want.
I expect downvotes for saying this.
But how was it spiteful?
Don't let EvaGeeks see this.
While I agree the TV series is superior, I've seen some pretty impassioned defenses of the Rebuilds there.
Star Ocean: The Second Story R.
His rants about FIFA corruption are still great.
But that's all.
Wow. What a kind-hearted woman. Not like those greedy live-action streamers.
I wish I'd known this sooner so I could have helped her.
