Open Discussion #7 Technology Ruling Out Books?

What's up dudes!? It's Josh here with another open discussion. Now I know I have it has been a few weeks since my last review. I'm sorry about that. I don't always have time to write a review. I find open discussions easier to write. Also, I want to apologize for the missing Minecraft Adventure Monday. I've been busy but I am getting on track. If you've noticed, I have put out some news so I have not completely abandoned this blog. Or my comic book blog. Speaking of which, I just put out a new Justice League of America review yesterday so go check that out. So without further boringness, let's get started with the open discussion.
_________________________________________________________________________________

So, (I have to stop starting posts with "so") this week we're going to be looking at technology. Now I know I've three or four open discussions about technology, but this week, it's going to be a little different. Recently, I've been ranting about the future of technology, and gaming to be specific, but today, I'm going to kind of rant about technology affecting our world. In the last few years, we've gone from going to the library for a few hours to read, to downloading books onto our Kindles and iPads. If the memory is still in there, can you remember what it was like to pick up a brand new book, sitting down on a couch under a blanket, and opening to the first page of your actual book, and sinking your face deep into it. The texture of the pages, the pages... okay, now I'm starting to sound really geeky. Anyway, you know what I'm trying to say. What happened to old fashioned books, you know, the ones made with pieces of paper and the stitched binding? Ask your grandparents what they used to learn, and they'll say that the Internet of they're childhood (and adulthood) was encyclopedias. Yeah, you remember those, organized by letter, huge, usually have the same thing printed on the spine of each one? Who am I kidding, those things are ancient!

That was kind of a weird way to end a discussion!
Anyway, Thanks for reading!

Finding Dory "Hooks" a Fall 2015 Release Date.

To many kids and fans, a second Finding Nemo movie just can't come soon enough! As you may know, Finding Dory originally had a Summer 2016 release date. But according to Ellen Degeneres, The much anticipated film will hit theaters globally in Fall of 2015. What a great way to wrap up the summer excitement of Avengers 2, Justice League, and Star Wars VII than with Dory!?
Ellen shared her thoughts with Screenrant a few days ago saying "I have waited for this day for a long, long, long, long, long, long time!"
And who are we kidding? We have too!

That's all for now!

Finding Nemo 2 - Official Title announced!!!

Summer 2016 will have Nemo and Dory swimming back to theaters in Pixar's most recently announced animated film. For the longest time, Finding Nemo has been one of the most recognizable animated films of all time. Rumors have been floating around since the first Finding Nemo hit DVD [and VHS] that a sequel was in the works. After ten years of waiting, and about three more to come, Finding Nemo 2 will hit theaters. The sequel to Pixar's massive hit will be more-the-less focused on Dory. Considering her name is right in the title. Yes, that's right, the official title for the anticipated film will be Finding Dory. Over the years, Dory has become a fan favorite, which helped Pixar make the decision.

On April 2nd, Ellen Degeneres officially announced that she will be returning to voice Dory. Aiming  for a 2016 release, the early story-boarding and writing are already in production.

Pixar will be releasing Planes this year as a "direct-to-DVD" spin-off of the iconic Cars movies. The Good Dinosaur will be released in 2014 along with an untitled film about the human brain in 2015. I will do my best to update the blog with any new news or changes.

Thanks for Reading.

Minecraft Adventure: Barbie in the Diamond Castle Adventure

*Please Note that I do NOT play Barbies but when I started making the castle I realized there was a Barbie movie named the Diamond Castle...


I was messing around with some sheep and lapis... turning their wool blue... and shaving it off with shears... in a winter biome...  And so I had an idea. I would create a diamond castle!



Shut up, don't judge me. My sisters made me watch it at least a thousand times while they sing the songs at the top of their longs... Good Times... NOT!!!

I've noticed I've used quite a few ...'s in this post. I kept shaving sheep until I had a basic shape in my mind of how I wanted it to look. So, I cheated, (I hate to admit it) switched to creative, and filled my inventory with stacks of diamond blocks. I've been working on it for a week and I've only used about 6 stacks. When I'm done, It should look something like this...




Yeah this is totally going to take more than an inventory of blocks!

That's all for now!

My Blog Idea...

So I have been really surprised at how successful my blogs have been. My Comic-Book blog, I've noticed that it is getting way more popular than I originally intended. It was just supposed a small blog that maybe got a few views but mainly so I could get my opinion on comics to the world, even if they weren't read much. I've been doing that blog for only about two months now but I'm getting about twenty views a day, and I only post a review once a week!

My main blog, this blog, has been really successful. I try to share what I like and what I do, but I've approached almost 1000 views really fast, considering I had 500 at the beginning of March. This blog was for fun, just a hobby of mine. I was originally going to just right them down on paper. I guess when I heard of a blog I was a little more open. As I mentioned in many other posts, it was just a low-profile page, until last month, I really took speed.

And for everything, I just want to thank you!

My Justice league Cast...

So I hear the latest trend is to choose who should be the new Green Lantern for The Justice League Movie.

I am actually going to beat Syncopy to the job and cast everyone myself...

For the role of Superman, I think that Henry Cavill is a really good Superman. He has that vigilante look or that mysterious look to him. I think that Batman from The Dark Knight trilogy was great because it wasn't the "Oh no! That poor elderly lady needs help! I'LL SAVE YOU!!!" feel to it.

I also love the new Superman costume from Man of Steel. No classic curl and no underwear outside of the pants. Overall I think that Henry Cavill would be the perfect leader to a legendary team.

For the role of Batman, it's hard to choose. I liked the Christian Bale Bruce Wayne, you know, he's the playboy, the billionaire, he really takes on that role nicely. However, I don't really like the Batman. The suit is awesome but the voice, come on. Were they trying to make him sound like  choking cow? That's what I loved about the 80's Batman (excluding Batman and Robin), he either didn't talk or he would talk in as few words as possible. If you take that and add the Christian Bale Bruce Wayne and TDK suit, The Justice League movie will be a success!

For the anticipated role of Wonder Woman, I would like to see anyone but Megan Fox. There was a photoshopped picture of her a few years ago as Wonder Woman, but honestly, she would suck. Kiera Knightley would be cool. I know she had a pretty big role as Elizabeth Turner in Pirates of The Caribbean. She did a good job with the action/sci-fi feel so yeah. Chris Evans was The Human Torch before he became Captain America, and look what happened. He's a great Flamethrower and Uncle Sam.

For the role of The Flash, I would like to see Bradley Cooper or Chris Pine. He has the look from the cartoon (voiced by Michael Rosenbaum) and has  a similar voice to Michael Rosenbaum. I think Chris Pine could connect the Smallville TV series with the movie because he does kind of look like the kid from Smallville. But obviously, that couldn't happen.

For The Role of Green Lantern, I would like to see Ryan Reynolds reprise his role from 2011's Green Lantern movie. I think with a non-computer graphic suit and a good solid Mark Miller script, he would be on the right track. Now I know that the Green Lantern Movie was kind of a disappointment to comic fans but I thought that he was at least a good Hal Jordan. A lot of Deadpool movie news has been surfacing recently but if Ryan Reynolds was Green Lantern, I would want to cast a "look alike" for Wade Wilson. Plus, the Deadpool suit would be animation. Like Spider-Man's, or at least while he's in action.

For the role of Cyborg, I would highly recommend an African-American actor. DC has finally had some ethnical respect in the last thirty years since Steel came out starring Shaq. I know I still bring up Smallville but I think that they did a good job on making movies appeal to other races. I would go ahead and cast Cuba Gooding Jr. He's young, he has a lot of experience in Minecraft in acting. Overall, He would be a good choice.

And Finally, for the role of Aquaman, I would choose Sam Worthington. He has that serious, know-what-he's-talking-about kinda face. Long hair and I personally think he would be set to go.
