“But I’d like it better if Wong wasn’t the one Hong Kong filmmaker who never learned how to shoot a clear and compelling action scene.”

The point of the title “the grandmaster” is that it can describe a number of characters in the film. That’s the point. Ip Man was only one individual in a long heritage of martial artists who largely disappeared in the fog of war.

this is why a added the qualifier “potentially” - obviously we’re discussing hypotheticals, in which both of our scenarios could be true.

19-14 is a relationship between a college student and potentially a middle-schooler, so yeah i agree here.

it’s an un-dismissable reply and i commend your restraint in choosing to let this go on.

yeah, uh, i know that.

that’s some creepy shit

nintendo has been a gaming hardware company for much longer than sony or microsoft - they’re not going to just abandon their business model or weaken it by going multi-platform. it should be considered a success that there two viable platforms this generation (switch and ps4).

that feeling when you realize that Undependable *means* dependably undependable, which is defined as...

this is already an option in most games - the trouble is that it’s actually a crutch for the designers, who use it to avoid the challenge of designing legible, interesting game worlds. gamers wouldn’t feel like they need it if the developers were more intelligent about designing their experiences to begin with. after…

what’s the scam angle on this? anyone care to speculate?
