Gunn said you didn't have to see any movie prior to The Flash to enjoy it. I don't know how true that is because I haven't seen The Flash or a lot of DC films to be honest because I again I hate Snyder, never cared for Flash or Auqaman. But we know that stand alone movies can be successful. DC knows this. They had two with Joker and The Batman. So a movie with no connection to a "universe" can be done. I just don't know anyone that had Blue Beetle high on their wish list of movies DC should do. But then again the same could be said about the ones that I wish they would do. Stand alone movies can absolutely workβ¦.but building a universe and then telling people the next four movies donβt matter just sends the message you donβt need to see this. I'm having a hard time finding where someone from DC or Warner said they don't matter. Do you have a link for this?

For me in the Michael Vs Jason, I go Jason because I like more of those movies. I usually dislike children in horror movies because you know nothing will happen to them 8 out of 10 times. So part 4 and 5 of Halloween take a hit for that for me. I don't even want to talk about Halloween 6. The only Friday film I don't watch a lot is Part 7 and the New Line era.
I'm going to be watching the Phantasm series over the weekend. I've never seen part 4 or 5. I barely remember 1-3. I remember 1 was so confusing the first time I saw it a long long time ago, but I think I got it the third time. Should be interesting as it's been a long time since I've seen any of them.

Two questions: 1) Are the entrances full, or just the short little on the stage part? 2) IS SHAWN SPEARS IN THE GAME?!?
Thank you. According to the user on Reddit that has the game and has answered questions about it, Shawn Spears is not listed on the roster list that the person posted. Seems to be 47 to start, 3 to unlock. My math could be off because I really don't know anything about the AEW so I don't know if he is listing people by there full name or just last names. Hopefully through updates and patches they can add more to it. CAWS seem to have very limited options. Like you can edit from head to toe but the choices within the categories are limited. 100 caws slots as well.

There are some stories that have been floating around about Johnson in Hollywood the past couple of years that have been flying under from what I've been hearing from friends out there. I'm interested to see how his career plays out from here because he seems to have worn his welcome out at a lot of places. Studios are getting fed up with his demands. He always works a Producer credit onto all of his films from 2017 forward, which I think it going to stop soon. But anyways, I was thinking today about this new movie with The Flash, and I'm not a big fan of him in the comics. But it got me to thinking about how Keaton is coming back for it and Cage is doing a cameo as Superman. I wonder if Warner would ever reach out to Will Reeve to be a stand in for his dad so that Christopher could do a cameo as Superman some day. I know some people are against that kind of thing so maybe they won't. He's coming back to the FF franchise, going to star in Red One with Chris Evans, and is heavily rumored to be appearing in Deadpool 3. Despite being used as a scape goat by WB, Johnson is doing fine. The only thing that sucks is that while Black Adam wasnβt anything special, it wasnβt terrible either. But because it wasnβt a billion dollar hit, now we have to see Gunn force his writing into all of DCβs future projects. His writing and tone may work for lower-tier characters like the Guardians and SS, but it wonβt necessarily work for A-list characters like Superman and Batman. We have a few years to see how his Superman film goes but Iβm gonna keep my expectations in check and hope that we donβt get fart jokes between Clark and Jimmy Olson. Come back to do a spin off because he doesn't get along with a star and from what was going around he (Johnson) was trying to take that franchise and focus it on him. Netflix execs aren't exactly happy with what they have seen. It's a cameo as himself. Even Levi confirmed some of the stuff that was happening at DC, so not a scape goat. Is he going to keep getting film roles? Of course. Is he going to continue to try to get studios and franchises to bend to his demands as he attempts to take them over? No, that is over. Again he will always get roles to star in movies because the backers will always see him as a star.

That is an awesome mask. Do you know what color you are going to get him to sign in CM Tusk? There was a guy/company, I think it was just a hardcore fan to be honest, that in the late 90s-early 2000s made really good replica masks for 1 and 2 because he had access to the original mask from Warlock before Warlock sold it off in 2003. The whole story of the original mask is wild to me.

CM Tusk - Some cast from Friday Part 3 announced for Days of the Dead Chicago in November. I wish I could make this, but I'll probably see if someone is doing consignments to work on my part 3 poster. And I'm pretty sure Steve Miner has a house in Chicago still, so hopefully they can get him to appear. I honestly thought that the new Exorcist movie had already come out and was so bad that I never heard anything about. Apparently it's coming out later this year. I was mixing it's release up with the new Salem's Lot. Salem's Lot lost it's release date to Evil Dead Rise, which I still haven't seen. I liked the movies, but I rarely re-watch them. I never did get into Ash Vs Evil Dead either. Then we are also getting a remake of The Strangers, which just seems really odd. I don't feel like that movie is that old but it did come out in 2008. It's just one of those things that when you live through something it doesn't seem that old but when you stop to think about it, it's "Man that was 15 years ago." I don't think I've posted this here but this is a Friday the 13th part 5 poster that I created using various software and images to get it big enough for a 12x18 poster. This artwork was only used in various home video release and never used for poster artwork so I had to do it myself. I've been sitting on it for a couple of years now and missed multiple casts member to sign it as I was holding out on getting Carol Locatell to sign it first. I just felt like if she didn't sign it I would always feel like it was incomplete. I had met Carol once before many many many years ago but I wasn't collecting posters at the time and got an 8x10. The past three cons that Carol was scheduled for she ended up canceling. This past February Days of the Dead Atlanta had a big chunk of the cast from part 5. I finally bit the bullet to get some signatures because John Shephard who plays Tommy in Part 5 finally did an appearance. In April, Carol Locatell passed away. She had been battling cancer which is why she was canceling so many cons. I'll always feel like this poster will be incomplete, but I'm going to matt it with the 8x10 of her so she is represented. So far it's only signed by 3 cast members, with at least 4 more to come later this year.

The Finals are going almost how I thought they would. I really thought Denver would sweep. I guess by 5 ain't bad.
I really don't know why at this point anyone would take a chance with Kyrie. The Harden to Phoenix speculation is intriguing. Houston seems to want to give everything to Harden, but he could stay with Philly to get traded to team with Westbrook again. Do you take the money or the better team? I think he ultimately ends up back in Houston.

Yikes, Mazzulla might be done in Boston. Seems like he was always in a no win situation no matter what he accomplished. Gotta wonder where this team would be if that stuff with Udoka(?) didn't happen. If he does get fired,is this the most big jobs ever open at one time? I mean we could have 4 of the top teams in the league looking for a new guy. He really was in a no win situation. If Nurse goes to another team, I think maybe Mazzulla survives another season with not getting swept. A lot of teams seem interested the most in Nurse, including Boston from the sounds of it. You've got whispers of Harden leaving the 76ers for the Rockets and them trading Embiid. I have no idea who would want to go there if that were to happen. Maybe Steve Nash so he can have another chance at coaching? I think the Suns have the best job opening. I really like Giannis and the Bucks but I feel like the Suns are still the better job. I've seen dream scenarios of Giannis getting traded to the Warriors but I just don't think that will happen. It would be incredible to see but I just don't think it will happen.

Its just obscure! Its hardly a wrestling figure at the point. Its a legendary athlete and will make for a cool toy. Lets have Jazwares put it in the Luminaries line then. AEW has just as much business making a Muhammad Ali in boxing gear as WWE does, as far as I'm concerned. Muhammad Ali has shown up in boxing gear the same amount of times on WWE/ECW/WWF/WCW that he has on AEW. They showed the match on a screen to end a WWWF event. That's all it takes? Lets get a Jared from Subway figure. He at least was AT an event. There's photo evidence of what he was wearing while being live at the event. You cannot downplay Jared from Subway sat front row at WWE once. Sound logic. The match also influenced celebrity matches and involvement in pro wrestling. Just because it wasnβt in a WWWF ring, doesnβt downplay the importance. It also has massive crossover appeal. And can people stop suggesting men who have slept with minors or men who have tried to? Even as a joke, thatβs a really odd person to pick.Just to piggyback off of this, after some of the figures that Mattel has had to cancel, I can't see them purposely putting Taylor or Lawler in such a huge spotlight.

Feel like these coaches are just going to shuffle jobs but are any of them really as an upgrade from what they had? Maybe the 76ers. Rivers should have more rings than he does, has had tons of talented teams, just can't get it done.
Denver has had closer games than I expected but I still think they sweep LA.
Not surprised at all with Miami-Boston. I thought the series would go seven before they even played because last year they went seven. Brown was terrible in game two but that won't happen the rest of the series. I still think it goes seven.

Didn't expect LA to win the series. Denver is on another level though, wouldn't surprise me if they sweep.
I think whoever gets Miami will go 7.

I like his overall look in 7 the most out of the Hodder appearances, plus I just like the movie more than 8 or Jason Goes to Hell. Part three is my favorite in the series though so a real bummer I wonβt be able to get that one signed. If you wanted to represent 3, you could get a masked signed by Mike De Luna. The problem though is he never does cons and only does private signings/mail-ins but even those are rare. The gang over at raretracks.store are trying to get another one set up with him. Here are the scenes that are known to be Mike: Window SceneNo one debates that this scene is Mike and not Richard First Kill in the MaskThe story goes that the 3D shot of the first kill was taking forever to set up. They shot the scenes with Jason walking out and setting up with Richard. The actual 3D shot is Mike at a different time. Some people debate if Mike is doing the walk up scene and Richard is doing the 3D shot. Barn hangingTheir is some debate on who filmed the upper barn scenes. The scene where Jason is hung and his body comes toward the camera and the wide shot are 100% De Luna. The scenes just prior to this when she knocks him down and prepares the rope is debatable on if its De Luna The most debated scene is when Chris opens the barn doors and Jason's body is still hanging. I could see the scene of her opening the door being De Luna, but when it cuts to the close up and he takes his mask off it's Brooker. All in all De Luna had more screen time in Friday 3 than both Ari Lehman and Warrington Gillette combined but you never hear about De Luna because he is such a private person. When he did his last signing with Raretracks.store I jumped at the opportunity to get a poster from Friday 3 and The Rocketeer poster (Mike does all the masked scenes in The Rocketeer).

Iβve decided I want to start a replica display and get the replicas signed. Meeting Dick Warlock, Kane Hodder, and Skeet Ulrich in August so going to buy a replica of the Halloween 2, Friday The 13th 7, and Scream masks and get them signed. Any particular reason you are going with 7? I'd assume because it's his first outing or you like the design but I'm curious. I once had a masked signed by most of the Jason actors from 3-8 on it, including like Hock from 5 and De Luna from 3. But then I decided that I wanted individual movie masked signed and got rid of it which was a huge mistake because Richard Brooker passed away shortly after I sold it. I only own a part 4 mask signed by Ted White at the moment.

Celtics in a nutshell on that game. Sleepwalk through most of the game, finally rally a come back and wait too long to get that pass to Smart. They can't help but beat themselves.
Surprised by the LA-Golden State. I figured after game two that it would be all Golden State. Another blowout. Still think Golden State get it done over the next two.
When there was about minute left and Murray made it 120-123, I thought Denver was going to come back and win. But Phoenix was able to close it out.

Has anyone here seen Haunt? And is it worth the watch? If you are talking about the 2019 film, yes it's worth watching I would say. I mean most of the characters aren't really fleshed out which is common in horror movies but the final girl and the setting I found to be good. I should also say that I personally think every movie is worth watching though. But if you don't have a lot of time to waste on bad movies, I totally understand that. I don't think Haunt was bad though.
