@ furrykef	:	(24 July 2015 - 11:25 AM) Also I still have to figure out how to set up our e-mail accounts on the new host.
@ furrykef	:	(24 July 2015 - 08:19 AM) As soon as I figure out how to restore it. Sorry, I know I said it'd be done by now, but I didn't expect to have to put up with this DNS crap and other issues that popped up.
@ Uncle Ben	:	(24 July 2015 - 07:56 AM) So when's the black theme coming back??
@ Uncle Ben	:	(24 July 2015 - 07:56 AM) "Should"
@ furrykef	:	(24 July 2015 - 07:27 AM) That DNS took longer to propagate properly than I thought it would. Now we should be back for good, though.
@ furrykef	:	(23 July 2015 - 08:48 PM) Or it might be because Bluehost finally got around to that server wipe (one week after we'd asked for it) and that wiped out our DNS settings. I'm not sure which and I don't really care. In any case, we've severed our last ties with Bluehost, so this will not happen again.
@ furrykef	:	(23 July 2015 - 08:08 PM) Looks like Bluehost yanked our DNS since our hosting account expired. That's why the site went down a while ago. But as you can see, it's fixed now.
@ Misk	:	(23 July 2015 - 04:55 PM) No, they do not.
@ furrykef	:	(23 July 2015 - 04:27 AM) The goggles do nothing?
@ Misk	:	(22 July 2015 - 05:50 PM) My eyes.
@ furrykef	:	(22 July 2015 - 12:24 PM) Looks like forum uploads might have been broken since last night. That should be fixed now too.
@ furrykef	:	(22 July 2015 - 01:33 AM) Heh, whoops! Server went down for a few mins when I borked the config. Looks like it's back up now.
@ Uncle Ben	:	(21 July 2015 - 09:09 PM) It looked like a napkin
@ ILOVEVHS	:	(21 July 2015 - 09:04 PM) Fan-fuckin-tastic.
@ furrykef	:	(21 July 2015 - 08:25 PM) As for the beaver picture while the forum was down, I think Tim drew it. On a napkin.
@ furrykef	:	(21 July 2015 - 08:24 PM) No kiddin' about that "Finally!", Shadow. I am so mad at Bluehost for never responding to our support ticket. I submitted it early Friday morning and they still haven't answered it!
@ Uncle Ben	:	(21 July 2015 - 06:37 PM) Maybe he did that himself
@ Shadow	:	(21 July 2015 - 05:25 PM) Say, who made the cute picture of Beaver Chief?
@ Shadow	:	(21 July 2015 - 05:24 PM) Finally!
@ RedMenace	:	(21 July 2015 - 05:02 PM) Woooo! The site's back up! Three cheers for Kef!

I dunno... This trailer tells us it's the EPIC CONCLUSION, so it bloody well better deliver!

Not saying it will suck at all, but I've noticed when you have a great movie and then a sequel that is either equal to or superior to the original, the 3rd in the series tends to not live up and disappoints.

Regardless, I'm looking forward to this, especially since Bane is involved, I'm just hoping it's not Spider Man 3 all over again.

'Star Wars' is my story, just like my house is my house. So if I wanna paint my house green, even if everyone else thinks it should be red, guess what? I'm gonna paint it Jar Jar! - George Lucas

"The Devil Inside is the new scam from director William Something Something. The movie stars actors and was edited on a computer. Somewhere. This movie is the latest film in a series of very low budget films designed to look like real movies! And be released in theaters to make a quick buck via a horribly off kilter budget to profit ratio that the general public seem to be stupidly unaware of! These films use to be called 'direct to video' but now they are called 'first run features'. These films then vanish from the theaters, like a rapist leaving the scene of a crime." - Mike Stoklasa of RedLetterMedia

DON'T JYNX IT YOU.. you... BUTTFACE!

Hey! There will be NO NAME CALLING in my thread, you BONE-HEAD! :shake:

As far as third movies in a franchise go (not sagas like LOTR or the original Star Wars, but honest-to-God movie franchises), Jurassic Park III, despite its flaws, was better than The Lost World: Jurassic Park within terms of story-pacing and the like. The third Planet of the Apes movie was weird, and nothing from that original franchise was able to top the last 2 minutes of the first film. Batman Forever was arguably a different series of franchises than Tim Burton's Batman movies, so that might not count as a trilogy film...

Yeah, I can't think of many third movies in a franchise that were really any good unless they were pre-planned trilogies like LOTR or The Godfather Trilogy, or to a lesser extent, Star Wars (though even then, Empire was the better film).

Still, Nolan's a good director. He's never made a really bad movie. I mean, even his student film looked Hollywood produced. So I don't think Rises will be a stinker. And if Nolan wants to portray Bane the way he was in the graphic novels, then I can totally see Batman's challenges escalate far beyond what The Joker gave him in The Dark Knight.

I believe in what I want to believe in, you believe in what you want to believe in, so when someone wants to believe in something, no one will know what to believe!
Believe it or not...

Not bad of a trailer.

Although, it really didn't show much.

Maybe they'll release a better one later in the year.

Its just a teaser so I knew there would not be much shown. It has me wanting more though... I hope it does not fall in the bad 3rd film curse either, it happens a lot to superhero films (Spidey 3, X-Men last stand, Blade Trinity), But I agree Nolan knows what hes doing, Never seen him do a bad film yet.

So far, I'm really pumped... All I want now is for Batman to eventually have to take on something like this;

Just so long as Bane isn't wearing an obvious Mexican wrestler's mask, it'll be a step in the right direction.

Not that the absence of a racist stereotype is saying much when it comes to quality... (Wow, Batman & Robin really was bad!)

In Batman and Robin, it was a leather gimp mask which was much worse.

I like how Bane doesn't look like a Mexican wrestler. And if you can imagine that image on the top dolling to the left, it's classic Nolan cinematography.
