Going on a film’s grosses is an idiotic means to measure a film’s worth: The Hurt Locker earned only $15 million in total...and this was after the boost that winning an Oscar normally gives. By your money standards, Selma is more than three times a better film than The Hurt Locker. (Selma earned more without having…

Oh, she’s good at this.

You do realize he never wrote an article regarding Depression Quest right? Both Kotaku and Rock, Paper, Shotgun have confirmed this. What Grayson did was write lists of video games that mentioned Depression Quest and an article sourced from several people’s blogs, one of whom was Quinn. Despite this, all were written…

It doesn’t matter about what she has done, what matters is what Gamergate did to her based on zero evidence that she did anything wrong to begin with.

Agreed - I also think they there is this strange vitriol people have with having anything lighthearted in films. “Darker turn for the characters” does not always equal “better.” I always feel really good after finishing Jedi.

I’m a pretty big Star Wars fan. I consumed the Dark Horse comics, many of the novels, and so on.

It should be mentioned that a few things in the now-retconned Expanded Universe made their way into the series proper - Palpantine’s name and Coruscant, for instance. Lightsabers absorbing Force Lightning too. So it’s not completely gone! (And we still have our memories).

This whole thing...

Hey, anime music videos set to Linkin Park songs were a major part of my middle school years.

And don’t forget to punch the people who use “Lux Aeterna” or “Clubbed to Death” (The Matrix song).

I want to punch everyone who made videos with linkin park and that song from final fantasy 7 film

Yes. I lost almost all interest in the trailer once they hit the ground. I might as well have just been watching the Avengers at that point. Spartans are soldiers, not super heroes. The second half of this trailer was just silly.

So this started off well enough, but am I the only person who that that, by the end, it was coming off as if the cinematic team at 343 was just starting to jerk themselves off a bit? I really don’t know what that extended downhill fight scene did other than just take a kind of neat premise for a fight and then devoid…

I love how you’re simultaneously poo-pooing Kingme for taking it seriously enough to argue about it, but then you apparently take it seriously enough to argue about it.

Lord this is goofy.

- Johnny pushing Daniel down is not aggression.
- Daniel clearly being tripped on purpose, which is clearly what happened, was just Daniel tripping.
- Going to a dojo is like buying a gun
- Miyagi is a “demon sorcerer”

This guy reminds me of certain parents that defend their violent kids.

I did this recently with some old acquaintances who were talking about the Patrick Kane rape case. I was like, “Uh, if I single, near a hockey star like him, and the moment presented itself, I would have gone home with him. I wouldn’t have expected to get raped”. Someone I don’t really know that well, said, “But…

It’s all part of this effort to make words normative. To tell language how it’s supposed to behave, instead of just observing it and reporting on it. This slang already had a definition, but instead of learning what it was, uneasy white folk needed to make a new one. To control words, lest words control us.

You absolutely may. Michael Giacchino is a genius.

Can I sidetrack to say I absolutely loved the throwbacks from the new Star Trek movies end credits sequences? They gave me goosebumps.

Some people wouldn’t know good journalism if it hit them on the head. Keep it up, brother. Your efforts are much appreciated.
