Toy collectors are faggots

Don't comic book geeks look down on everyone?

Politely, I’ve not really seen gatekeeping irl.

Online is a different story tho.

That aside- those funko people are rubbish. However, they never really flex to be comic book nerds.

I just realize that I sound like an ignorant asshole.

Btw- I have to go back and read our Uncle Scrooge post. That was “Comic Tropes” level

I don't even remember that talk. Was it about David Tennant and his uncanny impression of Alan Young?

WWAW wrestling toys?

I don't mind it if it's actually someone's hobby. What's gay are those who start collecting massproduced bullshit like Funko.
I like hearing Rocco talk about his figures.

Of course you don't because you're an arrested development dweeb that watches gay cartoons

That guy is currently enjoying prison

I wouldn't spend a dime on some plastic action figure, but I have been googling some of my old toys I had as a kid. Still, after seeing a picture of a Sgt Slaughter GI Joe guy and saying "oh yeah, I had that one," I'm as fulfilled as I'm gonna be. Taking that extra step and buying one is fucking lame.

That’s how I feel when I see pictures / videos on late 80s early 90s toys - it’s a “oh yeah, I had that one” or “I remember wanting that one and could never find it” but zero desire to buy them now.

On a side note, it’s funny to see those old toy commercials from that era - they were pretty much all OH MY GOD THIS IS GREATEST THING EVER!!! THIS IS SO MUCH FUN!!! over the top to the point the government had to make / change laws involving advertising to kids.

Talk about inflated egos. Cunts climb up a hill and think they're looking down on you from a mountain.

They're the same cry babies that whined when Keaton got the Batman role, and he's STILL the only actor I've ever liked to do it.

I heard Sly Stallone talk about how Keaton being cast as Batman was the beginning of the end for the big muscle 80s action guys like him, Arnold, etc because now they could just put a suit with muscles on whoever they cast.

They were right. But now everyone is played by sodomites and fags. Wolverine and James Bond are dancing like queers.

He isn't wrong, but I don't think even he saw how much worse it could get.

Fine, anyone can be a muscle guy with foam rubber, but a name was still important. Now it isn't - it's the IP. I bet every director in the 70's that made their name then would rather have burned the town to cinder than see this happen.

There's no more surprises, and when there are, honestly, they're far too weird for me. I have particular tastes in horror, I hate Todd Solondz-esque movies (you know what I mean if you've seen Happiness), the IP-driven shit has run its course, and anything low to mid budget goes to streaming.

Worst of all, the last true movie star is Tom Cruise, and even that is starting to fade.


So I just sit over here watching Forbidden Planet and Planet of the Vampires for the fiftieth time.

Wolverine

I've said this countless times ON THIS FORUM but, I don't care if he is a fruit-Hugh Jackman is a great wolverine

 

[RedHeadpw2]

WWAWD cast ceramic or polystone statues, if they're gifted to us?

Should not have taken this picture when I just woke up.

What're you haulin' this week, Ray? When're you gettin' back to Tulsa? Oof!

FAWKIN HELL, Ant, yew was so funny, I nearly drove off da road!

r, but a name was still important. Now it isn't - it's the IP.

I don’t really have a problem with this. Bond would be an example of this done right. No actor overstays his welcome. The movies aren’t coming out every year.

I think it makes more sense for someone to be in the mood for a Sherlock Holmes movie (the premise should be consistent) than a Robert Downey Jr. movie (he’s been in all sorts of films).

Let people enjoy things.

Like rape.

That's a valid point, but not quite the one I'm making.

Before the IP became the dominant force of Hollywood, Bond, Sherlock, even Tarzan always had the potential to be big. And they could make your name, hence for Connery and Weismueller, respectively.

The modern IP tentpole has just become carbon copies of the marvel style, where none feel different and it HAS to be interconnected to something. Soulless and similar, even. Ultimately every movie is disposable entertainment, but if they do the job right, you can feel something. That's what movies are supposed to be.

And it's true that people forget how much Hollywood used to mine the literary world for movies, which was a hell of a lot from the thirties to the seventies. In some ways, it's a little similar, but it didn't feel like it beat you on the head so much.

How many of you know a cunt who rushes out to "see the newest Marvel movie"? It's not just kids. And I rarely hear someone say "I need to see the newest Nolan movie!"

But when I say "I wanna see the boat movie!", I'm the one who looks crazy.

Fucking Stallone shouldn’t be criticising any bastard for being in any movie. For a start the cunt ruined Judge Dredd and second, its only with the advent of dvd and blu ray that anyone knows what the slobber jawed bastard was saying in any of his moved.
Also didn’t he Stallone try to do “comedy”? But comedic actors have no right trying to take his roles. He’s as bad as Sarah Silverman and Seth Sogan

REMINDER: that 'Toy Hunter' guy was also grooming 'self cutting girl'

I thought you were talking about me at first and wondered what I had done.
