I have no idea how I will feel hearing Danny McBride's voice and yet not seeing him.

EDIT: And hell yes, Her was good. I'm listening to The Moon Song right now.

I have no idea how I will feel hearing Danny McBride's voice and yet not seeing him.

Erm...why? It's not like he hasn't done voicework before, nor is his comedic value really tied to seeing his face.

I mean, I can hear him as KITT in my head already.

[Benjamin]

He has? I only know him from Eastbound & Down and This Is The End.

[livid]

Yeah, he was in Desicpable Me and Kung-Fu Panda 2. He voiced a character on Good Vibes and does some work for his animated show Chozen. He's also done a couple of commercials where he's not on screen.

EDIT: Oh and he's also a voice on GTA 5.

[Benjamin]

Ah, he was in terrible animated films. No wonder I never knew about it

[livid]

To be fair, if you only know him from those two things I don't really believe you would have noticed anyways. Never mind the fact that neither of those films are even remotely "terrible".

[Benjamin]

Um no, they're both bad. They're not even mid-level when it comes to animated movies. Despicable Me just drove me crazy by having three annoying kid characters instead of the obligatory one and on top of that they had those fucking horrible minions (which turned into an even bigger clusterfuck in the sequel). Kung Fu Panda was so far away from the first one that it really should just be erased from existence for spoiling the image of the original.

It's called opinion, Benkid. You're allowed to have one, but the rest of the world is too. Despicable Me got rave reviews, too, so it's not just Livid.

[MalaCloudy Black]

My opinion is fuck you, benkid, Despicable Me was great.

[EddieG]

My opinion is fuck you, benkid, Despicable Me was great.

I know, I was actually trying to say that, but I'm terrible at everything, obviously

Livid brushed off my opinion of both those films being terrible, so I was just saying that I thought they were terrible. I see now I came off like I was stating fact, though, sorry.

Didn't know if I should make a new topic or just put it somewhere, but

Ellen Page came out.

"I'm here today because I am gay," Page told the audience at Time to THRIVE, a conference to promote the welfare of LGBT young people, according to The Hollywood Reporter. "And because maybe I can make a difference. To help others have an easier and more hopeful time."

"Regardless, for me, I feel a personal obligation and a social responsibility."

During her speech on Friday, the Juno star, 26, went on to say that, "It's weird because here I am, an actress, representing – at least in some sense – an industry that places crushing standards on all of us. Not just young people, but everyone. Standards of beauty. Of a good life. Of success. Standards that, I hate to admit, have affected me."

[EWB's Best Poster.]

Somehow went to work today at my job at the shipyard and ended up helping out in a movie with Gary Busey in it.

Just....odd.

[livid]

I know right? Who in the hell is casting Gary Busey in stuff in 2014?

[EWB's Best Poster.]

Some horror movie.

[livid]

I think I've made a point of how little I care about remakes but remaking The Raid seems incredibly pointless.

[Colly]

Wasn't The Raid already remade as Dredd? Even more pointless.

[TheSqauredCircleMessiah]

Harold Ramis died today at the age of 69.

This just sucks, I loved his work. Egon was always my favorite Ghostbuster.

[livid]

First full Godzilla trailer!

I have to say that I've been pretty impressed with what I've seen so far. Didn't think it'd end up being any good but it sure does look like it could be a ton of fun.

[TKz]

That's pretty cool, I like that it look more like a disaster film than anything else. My only problem with these films is they there's never a great end point - because how the fuck would you even fight that thing?
