Happy 25th Anniversary to Toy Story 2 - the sequel!

You can see in this clip Esposito has been drinking his coffee & he appears to take a sip & then pass it to Ryan. They are sharing their coffee <3

Had a wild dream about your blog where I saw leaks for Sonic Frontiers DLC and came to tell you but you claimed it was a lie and told your mutuals to stay away from me

The DLC involved a new minigame... Sonic and Eggman had to face off in a karaoke battle against each other.

Have a good weekend, see ya later!

Yikes dream me was a real bitch

Also, Sonic and Eggman having a karaoke battle sounds like such a Sonic Boom thing to do

Besides dinners, what other romantic acts would Leon do to please his s/o?

Definitely take them for a ride on his bike. Leon is that type of guy she will see out through the windows of her bedroom after receiving a text saying: "Look outside"

And him, there, waiting for her outside.

-

Drinks? No. One thing I have noticed, Leon does NOT invite women out for drinks. So I have a feeling that is something he does among his "buddies", his "cool-guys" and friends.

Mike, Buddy... But when it is about Women? It is always: "dinner" and such.

So, I guess NOT bars.

-

Leon when driving to RC in RE2R is listening to rock and in RE4R there is a "local music" playing. I'm inclined to assume Leon is an avid music enjoyer/lover.

Maybe he can play a soft guitar. Nothing authoral. But play songs if he practice.

-

Homemade food. Leon knows all about the best places for a nice dinner, so let me dream that he is also very capable to make an amazing dinner for her. And he knows just the perfect wine to go along with the date's theme.

Sonic and Amy squad - tomorrow.

I always love their expressions. And that only two people - a man and a woman - dub the whole cast, mimicking all the voice making them sound really unique.

They usually do short animation and build stories through videogames - usually Sonic Speed Simulator, but also Minecraft, Sonic Adventure 2, plushies and even fan games.

The voices they try to mimic are:

Sonic - RCS

Shadow - David Humphrey/Jason Griffith blend

Knuckles - I don't know, I don't listen much the recent dubbing. The voice is raspy and really nice on Knuckles.

Tails - Corey Bringas

Amy - Jennifer Douillard

Rouge - Lani Minella

Silver - Pete Capella

Jet - Jason Griffith (of course)

Eggman - Mike Pollock

Omega's voice is the typical robotic voice we are used to

Mario(yes, that Mario) - Charles Martinet

[ninjapotatohead]

Fans still harp on RCS's performance in Forces yet Frontiers' overly-dreary voice direction is right there.

Oh but wait, it was intentional because it "fits the tone." Man, screw tone if your otherwise great cast are being made to sound like they don't want to be in the recording booth.

Pretty much this. Half of the VAs sound so bored throughout Frontiers. Even Mike Pollock's usual hamminess as Eggman is damn-near nowhere to be seen, like the Astro Boy looking-ass story beat they tacked onto him sucked the life out of his performance.

Like it went from this...

To this...

Knot On Your Life

Record Collector #266 — October 2001

Slipknot’s recent Iowa album entered the UK album charts at No. 1 — unprecedented for a nu-metal band. Drummer Joey Jordison waxes highly lyrical

(google drive link)

Slipknot’s second proper album, Iowa, was the most eagerly-awaited rock record of 2001, and both critics and fans of the masked nine-man band from Des Moines weren’t surprised when it crashed straight into the charts at the top spot in early September. But to anyone not familiar with the crushing music of this most uncompromising of groups, the sudden glut of media appearances that followed this triumph might seem strange, to say the least. After all, these are people who urinate on stage, offer fans the chance to inhale from rectally-inserted tubes and regularly vomit onto their audiences.

Despite the band’s fearsome reputation, drummer Joey Jordison was on relaxed form as he chatted to RC from his Mid-Western home. In fact, he was willing to provide an opinion on most subjects — so RC fed him a topic, and off he went. If only all interviews were this easy, eh?

A Night In With The Knot

All round to Joey’s…

Imagine you’ve invited us to a party round at your house. What tunes would you play for us? If I’m having a party I don’t really play much metal — because the chicks get more naked if you play something light. Old Bee Gees, or Michael Jackson’s Off The Wall, they’re all good party albums

I read once that you’re into the Cars and Fleetwood Mac. Oh, yeah. The Cars — I really like their Candy-O record, man, it was one of those records that really broke New Wave in America. They were one of the first bands to use the fuckin’ New Wave keyboards in their music, man.

The one-finger thing? Yeah, yeah, yeah, totally! Like ‘Let’s Go’ with that cheesy line that they use, but it’s so infectious. We played it before a show one time — we cranked that entire song through the PA right before we hit the stage. The kids were so fuckin’ loud and pissed off! They thought we were gonna cut the cong but we played the whole damn thing (laughing), just to irritate them.

What about a bit of dance or hip-hop? I like the new Ludicrous record. And chicks often get naked when we play that new Nelly CD for some reason (laughs). I also like the Wu-Tang Clan and Ol’ Dirth Bastard’s solo stuff, and of course old Public Enemy, and the old NWA stuff. I’m much more into the old school — I don’t listen to any of that current shit.

Did you ever get into any grunge at all? For a little bit, although I was pretty strictly devoted to metal. I really can’t stand Pearl Jam though — I’ve never been a fan of them. Alice In Chains was always a metal band in hiding, with a grunge umbrella. Soundgarden’s Badmotorfinger was phenomenal, too.

What about Faith No More? A band I still devote a lot of respect to. Faith No More really turned things around for me — The Real Thing really shaped my awareness of musical styles and using them tastefully. Mike Patton is probably the most talented musician and visionary I’ve ever heard in my life.

Most people might also be surprised to hear that I’m really into glam shit too, in my other band, the Rejects (chuckles).

What — Bolan and Bowie? More like the New York Dolls and Hanoi Rocks, but it’s all good music.

Do you dress up in the appropriate manner on stage? Make-up, lipstick? Yeah, we do. It depends on the mood. But like the famous song said, though, just because I wear make-up doesn’t mean that I can’t kick your ass!

The morning after the party, what mellow tunes would you play for us? Let me check my current crop of albums. I’d probably actually wake you up with some Amen. ‘We came here to fuck you!’ That rules, dude. I love that band.

An unlikely pairing: (above) the Cars, whose ‘cheesy’ synth lines do it for Joey, and (below) the Bee Gees, for whom ‘the chicks get naked’, dude.

Gloom And Doom

The murky depths of extreme metal explored…

The introduction of Iowa’s first song, ‘People = Shit’, is pure Morbid Angel. Fuck yeah! If you’re gonna pay tribute to something, pay it to a band that kicks ass. My favourite Morbid work is Blessed Are The Sick — I think it’s untouchable.

Altars Of Madness was really cool, too. Fuck, that’s old school, man, that’s going back. I think they really came into their own around the time of Domination, when they started using the seven-string guitars.

What other metal bands are you into? I also really like Raging Speedhorn, and I gotta say Immortal’s Damned In Black is one of the finest black metal releases ever.

I thought In The Heart Of Winter was better. Yes, that fucker too — all Immortal is great. They’re one of the prime black metal bands of all time.

Have you got Slayer’s new album, God Hates Us All? Yes — it’s phenomenal.

‘Payback’ is a great song. (sings line from song) Payback, you bitch motherfucker! (sniggers)

Do you like Nile? I love Nile. Black Seeds Of Vengeance — I love fuckin’ Nile! They rule, man.

Poppin’ Out

Joey talks Britney

It’s a good time to be into metal, isn’t it? Look at it this way. Metal always stays here, it’ll never go away, because of the legions of devoted fans, man, they never go anywhere. They are always fucking gonna be there. The music will never go away. It’s been tested time and time again.

On the other hand, cheesy pop like Britney Spears and N’Sync has got a lot stronger at the same time, don’t you think? That’s very true, it’s a good point. Those bands are really big sellers for their labels. They’re all geared towards MTV; then MTV is geared to the kids; the kids bitch at their parents constantly, and then they go out and buy the record.

Sometimes these kids don’t know any better, they don’t know you can go out and get into the underground tape-trading scene, because they’re fed that shit over fuckin’ television. Which is a drug in its fuckin’ self.

We wanna turn these kids on. A lot of them have heard Korn and Limp Bizkit, but they’ve never heard a blastbeat. It’s great that we can turn them on to the underground — like a kid might never have heard of Morbid Angel, and might think that I’m the first guy to ever do a blastbeat and double bass. Which isn’t true.

Is it strange when Slipknot are included in the same nu-metal category as bands like Limp Bizkit and Korn? No. I can’t bitch about it because we are in that nu-metal group. We do have elements of the nu-metal sound, but the fact is, you can tell we come from a place that is more genuine and way more old-school than that.

Grrr!

Reasons to be angry

At the Ozzfest, Corey (Taylor, Slipknot singer) said ‘We’re going to kill everyone in the rock music industry’. Is the relationship between the band and the business really so bad? He’s always talking about that. A lot of the press — obviously not you, because you know what you’re talking about — when we were done with our first record, they said that there was no way we could top it, and were already slagging the second record. And then there’s the fuckin’ leeches that fuckin’ steal money, and the people that misquote you, and people that start fuckin’ bad rumours — and before you know it there’s a whole new list of problems that come with fame.

I’ll gladly take those problems because this is what I’ve wanted since I was five years old, but (getting annoyed) it doesn’t mean that it fucking doesn’t fucking totally fucking goad men, and totally fucking brings me to a fucking boiling point … (tails off in incoherent rage, then takes a deep breath and calms down). So a lot of those things came out, and we had a lot of personal issues when we were on the road. And we;re doing non-stop shows, so every day there’s something going on.

Havin’ It Large

Party on!

Didn’t you go drinking a lot with Casey Chaos when you were on tour together? Yeah, we do these drinking matches. I always lose. I got him one time, though. It took him a while, but he finally got fucked up and fell down the back of this bus — and Casey Chaos never pukes, ever, but he threw up this time.

I sobered up really quickly after I pissed myself in my bunk, and I came back out and I’m like, I’m ready to go again! But he had to go to bed. I may have fallen down first, but I came back for the second round. That’s been the only time.

Can you still get up and play the drums when you’ve got a sickening hangover? Oh, absolutely, dude. I’ve done it a million times. I’m not necessarily proud of it. But when the mask goes on and I fuckin’ slip into the fuckin’ boiler suit, something just happens to me, man. Everything goes away, and it’s all about us and those kids for that hour.

The Past

The bad old days…

Do you ever listen to Slipknot’s demo album, Mate. Feed. Kill. Repeat? I never ever listen to it. I’m very proud of where we come from, man, and I’ll never forget where we come from, but … that was a totally different band back then, you know, and it’s not the same.

Did you know that people are paying over £150 in this country for original copies of MFKR, if they can find them? (shocked) Christ almighty. God damn, man … they must really like the band.

It’s a lot of money to pay for someone’s demo. Or do you regard the album as more than just a demo? It’s kind of a glorified demo. It’s glorified in that it sounds really good for a demo — it’s produced really well. But there’s only six people on that record, Corey’s not the lead singer, the guitar players are different — you know, the only original members are me, Shawn and Paul on that.

The first Knot guitarist, Donnie Steele, famously left the band after a religious conversion. Yes. He was like, I found God and this band is not for me.

Even though he’d been in Anal Blast and Body Pit beforehand — two extreme grindcore bands? I guess not. He really wasn’t down with the mask thing either — when it came up he was like, I can’t do that. So I thought, hmm, OK, you’re probably not gonna work out.

Then there was Cuddles … (yawns) Yes … … but maybe I won’t go into that? Don’t. We never talk about that guy (drummer Cuddles, a member of the band from 1997-8, is alleged to be suing Slipknot at the time of writing).

The Future

What lies ahead

You once said that Slipknot is just too intense a band to survive more than a couple of albums. I get asked about that in every interview I do. But it’s cool, because it’s the truth. I think if the band broke up right now — you can call this ego, call it what you want — we might even have some kind of legendary status.

You mean, if you stopped at the peak of your form, before it got stale? Yes, like the Sex Pistols did. They did it right, man, they didn’t fuckin’ let themselves become parodies. And that’s what we plan to do with this band, once I know it’s not working. Because of all the hurt in the band, and the fact that there’s nine of us, I think if it went on too long, it would become a parody, man.

Will your records keep getting heavier and heavier, as they have so far? Well, lots of bands say their next record is gonna be the heaviest one ever, but they’re full of shit. They just say this so their fans will go out and buy it. But I can’t do that to my fans, man, because they’re the ones that got me here, y’know.

Just giving an update to my new Romance Club friend. These are the books I read with the chosen LIs. If we have something in common, tell me please:

Heaven's Secret 1 (Angel Dino) ❤️❤️❤️

Heaven's Secret 2 to be read...

Queen in 30 Days (Adam, the bodyguard. The first meeting with the Prince Richard was wonderful so I thought I'll romance him, but later he got annoying to me. Then I chose funny, supportive, protective Adam)

Hollywood Story (none, I thought of Mike but he hurt my MC's feelings. Idk, there was a break-up and then he dated MC's friend and acted like nothing happened)

WavePatrol (None. Jake annoyed me. Worst)

Shadows of Saintfour (Michael) 🩷

Moonborn (Max Fall and his cute smile)

Legende of The Willow (sweet Ninja Kazu) 🥹

Sophie's 10 Wishes (shy, nerdy, Benedict Reed, but the doctor with the dog was cute too. But mostly Benedict Reed who I ended up with)

Seduced by the Rythm (none, the boys were annoying. Charles, the rival was the only decented one but no Love Interest)

On Thin Ice (sweet, protective Brian Baker who risks his life for me. I love him) 😘

Hii 🌸

I know I’m super late to respond to your ask but here I go 😍

I have to say I like Dino from Heavens Secret. I don’t know where I stopped with Heavens Secret, but at some point I think I stopped playing that story 🙈

Queen in 30 days sounds interesting I might give that one a try 🥰

Hollywood Story sounds intriguing though too 😅

WavePatrol? I’d love to try that one out but can’t access it? I only get some stories to play others don’t even show up, so when I saw how many stories you’re able to play? I was like how? If you have tips how to access all stories please let me know 🥰

Shadows of Saintfour, Moonbeam, Legend of the Willow, Sophie’s 10 wishes, Seduced by the rhythm (sounds like Along came Treble from Choices) and On thin Ice (sound a lot like the book Ice Breaker by Hannah Grace if you know it).

But these titles sound super cool wish I could access them somehow 😅

Thank you for sharing which story, Li and MC you liked or disliked. Would it be okay if I shared mine once I get the time to play some of the stories? It would be cool to share since I don’t know that many people who play RC 🥰

Again thanks for sharing 🩷🩷

It bums me that the Sonic VAs got nothing for the Sonic movie. At least the Mario one gave Charles Martinet something to do even if they're side characters. Mike Pollock has been voicing Eggman since Shadow the Hedgehog and he got Jack. Same with Smith and Griffith. Could have at least had Knuckles dad be played by Dan Green or Travis Willingham or something (note I love Christopher Lloyd)

Oh trust me, my friend, I am right there with you. It gets worse with the addition of Tails. He is still voiced by his og actress, Colleen O'Shaughnessey. And let me tell you right now, the difference in talent and competency when you put Tails and Ben Schwartz into the same scene together is night and day. (Here's their literal first scene together to prove it.)

(And to anyone who thinks I'm giving Mr. Schwartz a hard time... i mean, fair enough. I am. But you can't tell me he has given ANYTHING to Sonic that he didn't already do in DuckTales (2017) as Dewey Duck, and as Jean-Ralphio Saperstein before the both of them in Parks &. Recreation, which is the entire point of why I viscerally dislike him as a voice actor very specifically. It'd be fine if he stayed in his lane, you know, as a comedian, but he didn't, so he's getting my full criticism. Especially where Sonic is concerned.)

Jason Griffith most likely would have been pleased to come back to Sonic. I mean he voice acted for the guy for seven years and is HIGHLY beloved by the Sonic fandom to this day. Especially for his work on SonicX. Roger Craig Smith is IMMENSELY talented and has been voicing Sonic for over ten years now, and is so good at his job that he is STILL voicing Sonic despite the franchise's setbacks and his own announcement of leaving the role. Because he's good at it and he's passionate about it. (I personally love RCS more than Jason. Not that Jason is bad by any means but RCS is underrated imo.)

I'm not as well versed in this, but there's ALSO the fact that Knuckles' voice actors didn't get hired to voice the echidna either. They hired Idris Elba, and some people were saying was going to be fantastic in the role, and you know what? In my opinion, he sucked. He absolutely bombed it. And I say that knowing how well he does on screen in an acting role because I have watched him play Heimdall for 10+ years. He HAS talent, but is NOT a voice actor. And he certainly is not a good fit for Knuckles the Echidna. He didn't even come anywhere close to emulating Knuckles' voice.

And then you get the argument of "oh but the voices don't have to be the same" — my sweet summer children... The joy of voice acting and animated characters is that it DOES all come down to the voice and the voice matches the character design. The voice is the ENTIRE SELLING POINT. You don't get the voice right, then the entire acting fails and no animation talent can save it. It sucks but it's true. (As someone who had to struggle to find a fitting voice for my thesis' film's main villain this is such a priority that people overlook. Good enough isn't good at all.)

Honestly though, the real kicker here is that the Sonic franchise should never have been a "live action" film at all. I loathe "live action remakes" of animated films no matter what they are. I especially hate CGI/live action fusions that make that the selling point when Roger Rabbit proved that it can be done much better with 2D/hand-drawn animation. (To a lesser extent: compare the og. Space Jam with the remake, or even Space Jam with the og Smurfs. The quality difference all these years past is not even comparable.)

Also, it's not even a "live action remake", because, spoiler alert, the characters are still animated and no amount of life-like special effects will change that.

Hollywood (and America as a whole) needs to quit disrespecting animation and calling it "for kids" when it is a medium. It always has been.

Thanks to @aemiron-main I got this screenshot

But what's that on the counter?

Where did I see something similiar?

(the champion poster behind dustin. Didn't had a better picture at hand)

Why is a RC car that's heavily looks like something from Mike's room present in the close vicinity of a character that is a nerd, super smart and dies in the season where possession is the main threat?

Well coincidence I guess. Has nothing to do with Mike. Nope. Can't be.

Shadows of Saintfour: haven't played it

Legend of the Willow: haven't played

Sophie's 10 wishes: Benedict

Seduced by the Rhythm: haven't played past chapter 4, so far nobody seemed interesting enough to romance
