    BlahCade Podcast #20 - Forum Questions Part 1

    Point Break is so much fun. It is so over the top and completely unaware of that. "I am an F...B...I...Agent!" is one of the most laughable lines in the movie, and instantly quotable in the same instant. Kathryn Bigelow is really good at directing action sequences, setting them up. There's such...

    BlahCade Podcast #20 - Forum Questions Part 1

    I for one think the quality of movies has gone down, as so many decisions are made for purely economical reasons and not creative. I also think the longer you've been alive and watching movies, the more you realize the same stories are being told just in slightly different ways. Look, Tarantino...

    BlahCade Podcast #20 - Forum Questions Part 1

    Let's just say I get tweaked over long standing biases against 'popular' entertainment. There is the implication that a 'serious movie fan' cannot possibly be just that and like the drivel the masses enjoy. I called it at release and I'm calling it now, come awards season it is highly unlikely...

    Don't worry, we don't blackball around here. See you next time! Yeah, that would have helped! Lesson learned the hard way, eh?

    Table of the Week Club...Week 25: THE ADDAMS FAMILY

    It's showtime! Let's start off Season 2 with a bang, eh? It's The Addams Family! And yes, finally a table from FarSight's 4th season. We gave away enough copies of this that I don't think anyone should not own it! So go muck around in the swamp, let THING touch your balls, and take a tour of the...

    Okay, results are up! Congrats to Gus for winning the first season!! Everyone that won something, I will contact you by PM eventually. We had a large number of no shows this go around, including all 11 newbies that signed up. I'm really hoping for a spike in players at the start of next...

    Just finished my games. Pleased with TZ, did about my average on Big Shot, I suck at Pin*Bot and therefore can't be disappointed, and could not get a thing going for the life of me on TotAN. I'll have to wait and see if I did good enough or really dropped the ball. And hey, it's all you who are...

    Although the rule is still staying the same! Like I said, I can only speak for what happens on the PC. If only we had those tournament difficulty settings FarSight!

    Interesting. By the look of it, you tend to like auteurs. I see Kubrik, Tarantino, Mamet, Lynch, PT Anderson, Gilliam, many more. That's your genre. Then I see the guilty pleasures, some of which crack me up. I actually own Titan AE myself, so I get it! This reminds me of another favorite...

    Okay, absolutely confirmed. I just played through, got earned an extra ball. I then shot and let it drain. Only took 2 times, without even raising the flippers, and it moved on to the next ball. So I don't know if this is an issue on particular platforms or not, but on PC the ball WILL drain...

    Yeah, go ahead and play, post your scores here, and if I am able to drop you in place of anyone who doesn't play, I will.

    Okay, so I just tried this on ball 1... Shot the skill shot, let it drain, it gave me another ball. Shot that ball, held the flippers up, let the ball drain, gave me another ball. Repeated this 2 or 3 more times, it eventually drained. So eventually it will drain! You get a very few points...

    So you are confirming that if you hit the launch skill shot (not the super of hitting the ramp), the ball will drain? If that's the case, shoot the skill shot till you hit it people! Then drain. I'm going to real quick see if I can duplicate this...

    This, which is why I'm inclined to say to tilting out is the solution.

    If you hit the skill shot, does it still stay lit or could you drain then? Very disappointed I didn't catch this ahead of time.

    It wasn't until probably my 5th time watching it that I realized Blade Runner has next to no story. The world building though, oh my god. You fill in so many blanks and imagine so much more than what the script is telling you. Wasn't until I saw Fifth Element that another sci-fi world was so...

    Never come across that situation! I'm sure you tried everything you could think of, so tilting off would be correct if all else failed.

    The Movies I Saw In 2014

    No, both Budapest and Pac Rim were 2014. I just rewatched Grand Budapest and had the exact same feeling as before. It just doesn't have any magic to me. There are plenty of moments in it I liked, but they never came together as a whole. Pacific Rim was entertaining while I watched it, and then I...
