On June 15, 2001 Disney released Atlantis: The Lost Empire. It was the first tradionally drawn Disney animated feature to recieve a PG rating since The Black Cauldron (1985). Marc Okrand developed a language specifically for this film. The film takes place in 1914, involving academic Milo Thatch (Michael J Fox) and a group of mercenaries (voiced by Jim Varney, Corey Burton, Claudia Christian, James Garner, Jaqueline Obradors, Don Novello, and Phil Morris) sent in search of the lost city of Atlantis. When they actually find the futuristic place, they meet the king (Leonard Nimoy) and his daughter Kida (Cree Summer). ("Atlantis: The Lost Empire", Animated Flm, Event)

Mortal Kombat: Annihilation (1997)

While I didn't enjoy this film, that doesn't mean you won't. No matter what I say, the people involved in this project did it: they actually made a movie. That's something to be applauded. With that established...

If somebody told me they liked 1995's Mortal Kombat, or even that they’d consider it the best video game turned movie, I’d understand. I don't consider it "good" but the film has charm and, for what it’s worth, captures the spirit of the game. The 1997 sequel Mortal Kombat: Annihilation is another story. Mind-bendingly, inhumanely bad, it's also shockingly dull.

As previewed at the end of the first film, the evil Shao Kahn (Brian Thompson) has set his sights on Earth, despite his defeat at the hands of Princess Kitana (Talisa Soto), Liu Kang (Robin Shou), Johnny Cage and Raiden (James Remar). After resurrecting Kitana’s long-deceased mother, Queen Sindel (Musetta Vander) and unleashing warriors who make quick work of Earth’s heroes, it appears as though our world is doomed.

If you thought the special effects in the original picture were dated, you've seen nothing yet. Several characters in this film transform into beasts so unconvincing a Playstation 1 would laugh them off the screen. Not only do they make you look back fondly at the Hell sequence from Spawn, we’re talking about long, sustained shots that vaporize your suspension of disbelief and grind away at your will to live. Even when special effects aren’t used, the picture isn’t convincing. The fight choreography is awful and the performances from the actors embarrassing.

Speaking of the actors, you’ll notice there have been some changes in the lineup. Only two of the leads reprise their roles. Barring Christopher Lambert as Raiden, none of them are big losses but it's just another tactic the film is using to disappoint the fans. Annihilation is a terrible sequel and proves it instantly when it kills off Johnny Cage at the first opportunity. From there, it’s a rehash of the first picture as the Earthrealm warriors have to split up and go on individual quests, fighting random opponents every few minutes in an attempt to prevent the audience from dozing off. The characters are so thin and the plot so basic it would be a herculean task to care about any of it, even for those who are familiar with the game franchise.

Mortal Kombat: Annihilation is a bore. A mindless, unambitious cash grab that won’t even please those who were eager to see a follow-up to the first picture. You can have a few laughs at its expense, particularly when computer graphics are utilized to create otherworldly monsters, but those come in very late in the game. I can’t imagine anyone watching this sequel and enjoying it. (On Blu-ray, June 29, 2018)

I know there's a lot of answers out there for this question, but personally like what do you think are the best beatle books to read? Like what's the best for you?

hello anon! I'm hyperfixated so I'll read pretty much anything on them tbh. I do like to read the more anecdotal stuff because I love gossip lol - and some of them can be so revealing (both of the Beatles themselves and the authors). But I'll read and have enjoyed lots of stuff: the big biogs, memoirs, fan accounts, academic studies, that novel by Paul's ex publicist.

anyway, here's the list of Beatles books I've read all the way through and what rating out of 5 I'd give them. The books I've rated highest have generally been the big biographies just because I think they tend to say more and tell a fuller story, since obvs that's their purpose, so they're a more satisfying read. My ratings are based on a random combo of what they can tell us about the Beatles, how interesting I find them historiographically/as Beatles reception, and how much I enjoyed reading them.

J.T. Walsh is great at being a villain

Actor is ubiquitous as the bad guy in ''The Client,'' ''Nixon,'' ''A Few Good Men,'' and more

ByKate Meyers

Published on August 23, 1996

First, you recognize his face. Then you think: bad guy. If you’ve seen The Grifters, A Few Good Men, The Client, Outbreak, Nixon, or Executive Decision, then you’ve seen J.T. Walsh portraying, in his words, ”ethically challenged” individuals. Not that it bothers him. ”It’s better than doing the ‘he went thataway’ roles,” he says. His characters, which tend to be middle-aged buttoned-down authority figures, drip with what he calls ”a little juice.”

Hard-pressed to think of a nice guy he’s played, Walsh, 52, easily recalls the lowest — the porn producer having an affair with his daughter in 1991’s Defenseless. Represented on video this week by the thrillers Black Day Blue Night and Sacred Cargo and in September by the indie comedy The Low Life, Walsh says he has no problem accepting low-profile projects. ”My motto has always been, Do whatever comes next,” he laughs.

Born in San Francisco, Walsh was raised in Germany, where his father served in the military. After graduating from the University of Rhode Island, Walsh worked for a decade as, by turns, a teacher, salesman, journalist, restaurant manager, and social worker. But those became just day jobs when, at 31, the self-proclaimed hippie began acting in regional East Coast theaters. In 1974, Walsh hung out at the Theater at St. Clement’s in New York City, where he met an unknown playwright named David Mamet. Cast in the role of Bobby in American Buffalo, he made $100 for the six-week run. Ten years later, Mamet picked Walsh for the Broadway production of Glengarry Glen Ross, which was ”the pop” that got him into the movies. Walsh moved to L.A., where he’s been evil ever since.

Married briefly in his 20s, the unattached Walsh (”Who wants to go out with the bad guy?”) lives in the San Fernando Valley with his 22-year-old son, John. He’s currently playing — surprise — a morally ambiguous Navy colonel on NBC’s sci-fi drama Dark Skies. ”As an actor he conveys the attitude of the guy you call if you need a job done,” says Bryce Zabel, the show’s executive producer. ”You wouldn’t want to ask him how he got it done, but you’d call him.”

”Sure, I want bigger parts,” Walsh says. ”I call Sharon Stone and say: ‘Gimme a break. I just wanna make love to you.’ She doesn’t get back to me.”

Atlantis: The Lost Empire is a 2001 American animated science fiction adventure film produced by Walt Disney Feature Animation and released by Walt Disney Pictures. The 41st Disney animated feature film, and the studio's first science-fiction film, it was directed by Gary Trousdale and Kirk Wise and produced by Don Hahn, from a screenplay written by Tab Murphy, and a story by Trousdale, Wise, Murphy, Joss Whedon, Bryce Zabel, and Jackie Zabel. The film features an ensemble voice cast that includes Michael J. Fox, Cree Summer, James Garner, Leonard Nimoy, Don Novello, Phil Morris, Claudia Christian, Jacqueline Obradors, Jim Varney (in his final film role), Florence Stanley, John Mahoney, David Ogden Stiers and Corey Burton. Set in 1914, the film tells the story of young linguist Milo Thatch, who gains possession of a sacred book, which he believes will guide him and a crew of mercenaries to the lost city of Atlantis.

WordGirl (stylized as W✪RD GIRL) is an American children’s flash-animated superhero television series produced by the Soup2Nuts animation unit of Scholastic Entertainment for PBS Kids.[1] The series began as a series of shorts entitled The Amazing Colossal Adventures of WordGirl that premiered on PBS Kids Go! on November 10, 2006, usually shown at the end of Maya & Miguel; the segment was then spun off into a new thirty-minute episodic series that premiered on September 3, 2007 on most PBS member stations. The series of shorts consisted of thirty episodes, with 130 episodes in the full half-hour series.

WordGirl creator Dorothea Gillim felt that most children's animation "underestimated [children's] sense of humor" and hoped to create a more intellectual show for young audiences.

The series follows WordGirl, a girl with superpowers whose secret identity is Becky Botsford, student. WordGirl was born on the fictional planet Lexicon (also a term referring to the vocabulary of a language or to a dictionary) but was sent away after sneaking onto a spaceship and sleeping there. Captain Huggy Face, a chimpanzee who was a pilot in the Lexicon Air Force, piloted the ship, but lost control when WordGirl awoke, and crash-landed on Earth (more specifically in Fair City), a planet that affords WordGirl her superpowers, including flight and super strength. WordGirl utilizes these powers to save her adoptive home, using her downed spacecraft as a secret base of operations.[citation needed]

WordGirl was adopted and provided an alter ego by Tim and Sally Botsford, who gave her the name Becky. While in her alter ego, she has a younger brother, TJ, obsessed with WordGirl, but still unknowingly a typical sibling rival to Becky. The Botsford family keeps Captain Huggy Face as a pet, naming him Bob. Becky attends Woodview Elementary School, where she is close friends with Violet Heaslip and the school newspaper reporter Todd “Scoops” Ming.[citation needed]

“How do you-meaning you reading these words-deal with the idea of Unidentified Flying Objects?

Do you simply ignore the issue, like the majority of your fel- low citizens? Do you disdain any serious discussion of the topic because it may cause discomfort to your cherished beliefs and worldview? Or, like a small minority, do you consider with an open mind the possibility that life may exist outside of our conventional three-dimensional material reality? Or perhaps you wait impatiently for a meeting with "our space brothers," as does an even smaller minority?

Regardless of your viewpoint, we-all humans on Earth-are in for a real awakening...and probably sooner rather than later.”

George Knapp: Massamedia jatkaa UFO-salailua

UFO-tutkijat Bryce Zabel ja Ross Coulthart kävivät vierailemassa George Knappin showssa. He kertoivat uskomuksestaan kuinka Yhdysvaltain hallitus, massamediat ja Hollywood salaavat tietoa UFOista. Tuoreessa lehdistötilaisuudessa Pentagonin edustajat puhuivat toimistaan ottaa kantaa UFO-asiaan, mutta Zabel ja Coulthart pitävät tätä aikeena kontrolloida narratiivia ja vähätellä kansan kiinnostusta UFO-asiaan. He myös huomauttavat jatkuvista viivästyksistä suurten UFO-raporttien julkaisuissa. New […] from _| Eksopolitiikka.fi |_ https://ift.tt/X8K4IeL via IFTTT
