    1) it’s really good. 2) It’s part of humble bundle, which counts towards steam sales. Lots of copies sold, probably next to no revenue on it.

    1) Oh yeah, you're preaching to a huge MK fan here :foryou:. 2) I didn't think of that. I even bought that bundle just so I had a PC copy (mained it on Xbox, and have it on Switch too, but I've hardly played it there). 3) Skarlet is best girl. 

  2. By teaching you in the manner you suggest, they're losing a customer in place of help they probably don't need (they're not going to buy extra presses to accommodate your help, knowing you're only there until you feel you've learnt the basic technique). Think you're going to have to go it alone, mate.

    Irish leprechauns in an X-Men movie do not equal to gamma irradiated monster dogs in a Hulk movie. Not comparable at all.

    Why? They're both ripped straight from the comics, after all, and were part of the plots. Difference is, from what I can see, the leprechauns were in more issues. 

    TBF I do think the leprechauns are worse, you know, it's part of X-Men history now.

    Gamma dogs are a thing in the comics.

    Thematically, the Hulk dogs represented a kind of evolution of experimental Hulks throughout the movie. You saw a hulk frog, then a hulk rat, then hulk dogs,  Bruce's human Hulk, and then David Banner's Hulk god at the end.

    Just because they're from the comics doesn't make them a good idea. Actual Irish leprechauns have appeared in Uncanny X-Men, that sure doesn't mean they'd be a good idea for film.

    You don't have to have personally met a director to understand their work or their intentions.

    I understand Ang Lee's films because I've seen many of his movies, read his own interviews (or James Schamus who co-wrote many of Ang's films), and watch them again seeing the things they talk about visualized in the films. Yes, you can do that, too.

    OR I could just watch a good movie or three in all that time. 

    Yeah... that.

    They could follow the book, but I just don’t see Hollywood holding back on showing the shark and/or CGI-ing the heck out of it.  Much of the brilliance of the first one is that Spielberg couldn’t show the shark too much because it didn’t function like they wanted it to.  By not showing it, the tension was ratcheted up so much more.  And the few times you actually see it are much more satisfying.

    The only other shark movie I can think of that had a similar feel was The Reef.  

    I really liked The Reef,and I agree on the similarities. And true, the brilliance of Jaws can never be recaptured, but the question was can you see it being remade, and with the ways things are, I can see a remake being done, just based on the book. It'd never have the magic of the original film, though.
